| Outside the box concepts.
People have talked about using ocean waves to generate energy, they are fairly constant and should work about the same as water over a dam, or in a river.
Now for the other side of the box - trying to capture lightening bolts might be okay on a rainy day, but I was wondering about acturally creating artifical lightening energy. With knowledge about how clouds and the earth connect to produce lightening we could (always perhaps) duplicate that process its self. Although inventers seeking a potential patent wish to keep things secret they sometimes blab alot. One guy on the radio was talking about his free-energy contraption. He said that we have lots of dormit energy in space - not outerspace but everywhere on earth - that "stilled energy" can be activiated and put to use he claimed. I think it had something to do with magnets spinning around and around to generate energy the center of that motion - by activating energy in the air. (unseen energy). He could not get a patient for his invention and so no one wanted to invest in his device (he claimed) but stated the court case. He did get a patient in India and a scientist over there built a small plant using his technology - enough to provide energy for a small village (town). That scientist apparently won first place for that idea at some international science-award get-together. (according to the radio program). Once the plant was built it operates cost free, and uses nearly no oil products with acception of small batteries to generate the first spinning cycles. (possible maintantence costs might be requried - but no cost for oil, gas, water, or such things).
Some of the energy is recycled to keep the battery charged to keep the magnets (whatever?) in operation.
anyone else ever hear of such a thing? |
