Fusion Power
This has been getting some media attention lately, but I thought I would share this with the community here. This summer, scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California hope to use the world's largest and most powerful laser to create a sustainable fusion reaction. What was once science fiction may become fact sooner than expected. If successful, this experiment could potentially create a powerful new source of sustainable electrical energy. More information can be found… Continue

Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii
This is an amazing project, designed mostly to get free energy from the ocean, but as a by-product is also produces lots and lots of fresh water.
The idea is that sea water is warm at the surface and cold at the deeper places. If you bring the cold water to the surface then you can use a heat engine to extract some useful energy as it warms up. In the process, a lot of water gets evaporated, and subsequently condenses as fresh water. This can be used for drinking, agriculture,… Continue

High speed wireless in Afghanistan—from garbage
Unrelated to current missions, but I thought this would be something cool to share.
This is the ultimate in sustainability. The Jalalabad Fab Lab (nice name, right) has created WiFi broadcasting dishes from junk around Jalalabad. The dishes are around 70dBi @ 1KM, meaning that they're decently powerful.…

Power Shift - Imagine
It's July 4th, 2020. Up until now, this has been one of my least favorite holidays. Fireworks are not that impressive to me and huge crowds of people, packed into small spaces tend to make me feel uncomfortable. But today is different.
Today, they are demonstrating the newest in firework technology. No longer will the aftermath of the festivities include burned, charred ash and papers from explosives, foul fumes from scorched lycopodium and other chemicals or even injured…

Imagine 4 World Water Day 2020
World Water Day will be an amazing day where the wh*** world celebrates the saving of clean water. In preparation for this day many countries have taken scores of sea life and have saved them in arks so that they can multiply and flourish with out contamination to reseed our valuable rivers, streams and oceans with the wildlife that was so abundant before the water shortage. Men, Women and children have made changes in their daily habits with water so that no drop is wasted. Places where there… Continue

Using perpetual motion to power a light bulb
This is some kind of crazy idea, and I am not sure it would work. If someone has good knowledge of mechanics and thermodynamics, please read and tell me what you think about that.
I love the idea of perpetual motion. You have to give an initial force, and then a movement is created that will never stops. Real perpetual motion is hard, but an almost perpetual motion would certainly be enough to power a light bulb. We can use for instance the principle of the Orffyreus…

Imagine 3 My special day in 2020
My favorite time of the year is Fall. I dream of the colors that are on the trees. Yellow, red, orange and brown a kalidescope of whirling leaves and crisp fall air. Today is a beautiful day because we are celebrating Thanksgiving in Texas. I invite all of my friends and family to the energy producing house that I have designed and built. On my roof I have solar panels because, in the Desert of Texas, sunshine is in abundance even on that clear day. The c**ulus clouds are puffing up in a… Continue

4th of July 2020
By bar my favorite holiday, the 4th of July! Load the car. The sun is out. Hit the road headed to the beach in my new fully electric car which I unplugged from my own power source created by activity that take place right in my home, along with solar & wind energy caught on my roof.
On the way to the beach the light poles all have wind turbines which capture the wind generated by the car that drive by. That energy is stored and will be used to light my way home in the…

Just Type P-O-W-E-R
How many people do you know who use a computer? The amount of computer users is growing everyday. There has got to be a way to harness the power of the computer user.
We've all heard the old computer with the pedals under the desk. Let's be real. Who is going to use that? When I sit down to use the computer, half of the experience is getting to relax a little bit while I let technology do what is does best.
But what is the one physical activity…

Street Light Powered by Wind (Pic)
I really like the idea I found here.
It actually looks cool, and makes a world of sense to me.
All day to gather up a charge, and still would gain power late at night from passing cars.
A back up for emergencies is a must of course. At least use this tech as a Hybrid option. I'm such a huge fan!
I was unable to find a cost on this tech, the problem I see here is that street lights are…

Homemade Reneable Energy
I am a do-it-yourself type guy. I look for things to start on that are simple enough for the average person (like me) to actually build. I had a little success using the internet. Youtube has a lot of videos to go through. I've watched a good number of these and found that I can recall the info pretty well but I also like written instructions and diagrams. I found a couple of sites that have access to shared knowledge on making your own renewable electricity. They are listed… Continue

Power Outages
I feel power outages would have the biggest impact in my area. We have evolved as a society that relies on machines to clean our waters from disease, process our foods, keep us warm or cool, entertain us, connect us, and give us a sense of 'all is well'. With power, we can solve virtually any problem or overcome any obstacle.
I saw this during Hurricane Juan that hit my city in 2003. The darkness across the city, people trying to find some form of comfort, the…

COW POWER for Africa
When I was young(er) I remember watching a tribe about a tribal community in Kenya. One of the things that has distinctly stuck with me over the years is how the cow is considered currency to many. One of the earlier lessons that Amy Smith bestowed upon us was to use the resources available to us. Here is an example of how cows can create electricity!

Cinco de Mayo 2020- Power Shift
Cinco de Mayo in Wisconsin can still be chilly but I am well prepared. Thank the Maker for my solar paneled roof. The lights strung up along the 24' pergola are powered by my roof as well as the spot heaters when the night time chill sets in. A few of my evoke buddies are showing up, so I've rented an old airstream that has been retrofitted for solar, now I can easily put them up in style. Since I have been banking all of my energy credits, I am pretty sure I can sell enough credits, to pay for… Continue

Sun Dock- solar powered recharging dock
My envisioned design would entail a simple 11"x17" solar film that can adhere to a sunny window. This solar source would supply power to a stick that has ports/plug ins for phones/battery powered drills or anything that can plug into an outlet for a recharge.

Fourth of July on the Lake
This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein.

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
