Noise, Anyone?
Sound energy is generally very small in scope, so is not often thought of as an alternate energy source, but hopefully this won't sound too terribly silly. After all, my proposal is to power something very small with the sound from a highway. Sound energy could conceivably be used to turn the noise from the road to something helpful instead of pollution. There are people who live near airports and busy roads that could capture sound energy from sensors... hypothetically. The energy captured would be quite low, naturally, so the most it could be used is in areas where there is a lot of noise, and for electronics that were small and easy to charge, but it would have the effect of making the noise a little more useful (and perhaps then somewhat tolerable) to the people that live near it.
Besides, it might make karaoke nights a little bit more fun, to see who can produce the most power in a night!

That is not silly at all. It would not quite reduce noise but make visible HOW loud or noisy something is. Like a hamster in his wheel powering a lightbulb. Nice thinking!

a.v. - I have a big fear of being called stupid, so I do everything within my power to avoid that. Even if I like my idea, I tend to let my mind wander to what others will think and become embarrassed quite easily, lol! Thank you for your encouragement.

I think this is a great idea. Recycling energy of any kind will help us to be more sustainable for a better future.

What we perceive as sound is just energy so it makes sense. Cool and fun idea!!!

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
Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. 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. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

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
