20,000 Volts Under The Sea
This is an undeveloped idea that may or may not be practical depending on the power output, but either way, hopefully it will spark some discussion and/or new ideas.
So my thought is that many power systems are run by what is known as a "gradient." An example of this is geothermal energy which utilizes the temperature difference (aka the temp gradient) present between the surface of the planet and the earth beneath the surface. Water or some other fluid is pumped into the…

Educating out of creativity
Think of the bravest type of person you know. The type of person who is infinitely curious, willing to try just about anything, not afraid to jump up and dance when her favorite song starts playing, the type of person who will see if that square peg will fit in that round h***, because who knows, it just might.
I'm thinking, of course, about the people we know as children.
To provide an example of what I'm talking about, I'll give a…

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
