ethanol and other ... By: ultimazer1. on 13 Feb 10, 13:00:08 ethanol and other bio fuels are more harmful to nature when burned than usual petrol. In addition they also create competition between food and petrol which makes food prices rise which is just absurd. We don't need new fuels, we need a transition power everything with electricity. Electricity can be generated from lots and lots of different sources and renewables are the only way to go.
Cellulolistic based ... By: quidproquo2004. on 12 Feb 10, 17:33:51 Cellulolistic based ethanol and corn based ethanol are not sources of renewable energy. These plants get their energy from the sun: the incident radiation and also from the fertilizers they are fed (petroleum byproducts): the sun is a source of renewable energy, not the plant with all of its primary, secondary, and tertiary dependencies. Secondly, considering these plants as a sustainable source of energy is dubious at best.
Their usefulness will be highly region dependent.

By: RamsesReturns. on 07 Jan 10, 08:29:06 The same people who have prevented man from using alternative sources of fuel for decades, are now touting that it is urgent that we find alternative sources for energy.

Now there are so ... By: cityflyguy. on 30 Aug 09, 10:11:23 Now there are so many possibilities for alternative fuel. Liquid fuels made from organic materials e.g sugar and vegetation. Gas fuels made from methane and c02, compressed air engines, hydrogen, electricity created by either nuclear or hydro, wind and solar means. Magnetic energy, Kinetic energy. The list goes on and on, and you can combine all of these methods with one another for even greater possibilities. The only reason we still use fossil fuel is because its extremely profitable.
I dont believe that ... By: cityflyguy. on 30 Aug 09, 10:03:43 I dont believe that internal combustion engines are the cause of so called climate change. But I recognise that reliance on oil is both uneccesary and dangerous. Just look at the current scramble for oil between nations of the world carving up the middle east, africa and central asia for pipeline and refinery deals. Sadly more global conflict will result from this, much like the european scramble for africa back in WW1.

Burning wood only recycles carbon that would otherwise be found in nature and expelled into our atmosphere eventually anyway. It surprisingly does not add to our carbon footprint! I know thats surprising, but I heard a climatologist stating that the other day.

The copper metal does a very good job of transferring the heat, and many times better than plastic or rubber. Mixing sand and water in the zero pressure water is probably better.

Along with balancing and alignment remedies and turbulance redirection Could actually power more than a science guys original mathmatical presumptions.

Your rant is mostly ... By: n0thingm4n. on 22 Feb 10, 19:18:50 Your rant is mostly correct, but the suggestion of a circular wind turbine like that is completely missed. The theory behind it comes from an inviscid assumption at high Reynolds numbers from Navier-Stokes. In a free stream on a cylinder there are two low pressure points perpendicular to the flow where the fluid is moving at double the velocity. Although this is proved by neglecting viscosity, leaving it in the calculation only adds a boundary layer, which doesn't change the calculation much.

I mean aren't these things designed to suck air into the center from all sides? I personally don't know much about then, but from the fact they are referred to as "blowers" and looking at their design that is a far different usage than being spun by a single directional wind. It pretty much throws away the mechanical usage that it had.
Ok, last piece of ... By: ikedasquid. on 15 Feb 10, 04:17:00 Ok, last piece of rant.
You want to make something without understanding the underlying principles...try crafts, because you will not be successful at science, engineering or inventing, and certainly not at "green power".
In other words, why ... By: ikedasquid. on 15 Feb 10, 04:13:35 In other words, why would you vote down a logical, mathematical analysis? Whether you do the analysis or not, you are engineering something when you build one...and the great majority of successful engineering projects are analyzed first using mathematical models. You can't say if something will work for sure but you can usually rule things out. Optimization is huge also. It's one thing to get a tiny 12v bulb to light, something else to make useful power. The difference is analysis.
...see this turbine ... By: ikedasquid. on 15 Feb 10, 04:08:18 ...see this turbine spinning at a paltry 170 rpm. There's branches waving all over the place yet this thing can barely overcome the friction in it's one bearing (see 2:10). It's not driving a load, the only load is friction! There are so many hints in this vid that this approach is a waste of time.
Why is it that when talking about "green power" as soon as you throw out some math - the same stuff that is used on the big MW turbines - you get a minus score?
"you math people ... By: ikedasquid. on 15 Feb 10, 03:59:43 "you math people are so smart" maybe. There's not much math up there. A couple of unit conversions, maybe a trivial amount of algebra. I've only looked at this because I want to build a VAWT. I think wind power could be useful to me in a grid-tied setting. There are VAWT units out there producing renewable power right now, this blower rig-job just isn't a very good way to do it.
I do the math to see if an approach is worth trying. With a serious breeze in the background I can see this...
Realistic ... By: ikedasquid. on 15 Feb 10, 03:51:37 Realistic assumptions:
Wind is 11 mph.
Turbine efficiency is 35% (the huge MW wind turbines are about here).
DC generator efficiency 60%.
Converter? Not really sure - lets just say it's still less than the number I'm about to give you...
32w * (11/20)^3 * .35 * .60 = 1.1 watt
So 10 strung together might just barely light a standard CFL. I would be surprised if you could even get that much out - as it's loaded the generator will slow decreasing its efficiency more.
Pw = 0.5 * 1.23 * ... By: ikedasquid. on 15 Feb 10, 03:42:09 Pw = 0.5 * 1.23 * 0.075 * 8.9^3 = 32 watts of wind power.
A really smart guy named Albert Betz (a wind energy expert from Germany) figured the best possible wind turbine efficiency is 59%. The best possible electrical generator efficiency is about 80% (if you use 3 phase AC - good luck finding one of these at this power level!).
32w * .80 * .59 = 15.3 watts. This is about as much of a best case analysis you could imagine. If you had a 100% efficient converter you could light a standard CFL.

Savonious, height is 1ft and diameter is 1ft. Blade area is circ * height * 0.25 = pi*d*h*0.25
0.25 because air acts on only one quarter of the blades at a time (others are either blocked by blades being acted on or are returning and therefore spinning towards the wind in a Savonious).
Neglect air friction from returning blades.
1 meter = 39 in & 1ft = 0.31m.
Ab = pi * 0.31 * 0.31 * 0.25 = 0.075 sq meters
@krrrr....
Sure, ... By: ikedasquid. on 15 Feb 10, 03:23:43 @krrrr....
Sure, it could turn a very small generator.
Pw = 0.5 * Da * Ab * Vwind^3
Pw = power of wind in Watts
Da = air density (1.23 Kg/m^3 at sea level)
Ab = area of blades in sq meters
Vwind = wind velocity in m/sec
Assumptions:
At sea level.
Wind is 20mph average (this is super windy, 10-12 is a better estimate but I'm humoring you) or 8.9m/sec on average.
Blade area - this is a little rougher to get. Assume your turbine is savonious - air is pushing the blades...
@ikedasquid
So ... By: krrrruptidsoless. on 15 Feb 10, 02:43:44 @ikedasquid
So your saying these could turn extremely small generators.
And a bunch of these linked to a storage source could actually work.
Good job.
So 10 small generators from 10 seperate blower fans could produce how much exactly?
And that would be able to charge or make how much power?
You math people are soo smart.
Vertical Wind ... By: conspiracy777. on 10 Feb 10, 17:30:24 Vertical Wind Turbines do show promise. However the example of the blower fan is not a good comparison.
It shows a concept but not a proper power generating design.
It's much like a prop on a boat.
When the prop is used for powering the boat it works fine, but if the boat is dragged through the water (as on a sailboat) it doesn't give back near the power.
It has to be designed differently to do so, the same with this concept. But it CAN be done and it's not junk.
It's called POWER. ... By: ikedasquid. on 08 Feb 10, 21:00:23 It's called POWER. No arrangement of gears will increase power (gears induce friction, lowering power). Efficient generators turn quickly, and for wind generators this is faster than the turbine spins.
This lowers torque to the generator.
P = T * w (power=torque * angular velocity)
If the gear train turns the generator faster than the turbine, causing w to go up, T must come down to keep P constant.
P in KW, T in N*M, w in RPM
P=T*w*2pi/60
P in HP, T in Ft*lbf, w in RPM
P=T*w/5252
JUNK!
@ikedasquid Its ... By: MrBladeCrash. on 08 Feb 10, 16:49:00 @ikedasquid Its called gearing.....proper gearing is what makes any wind turbine work. They other wise don't produce enough torque to spin a generator properly

Overall, I like ... By: ikedasquid. on 06 Feb 10, 03:51:06 Overall, I like this channel...but this vid is horrible.
Types of centrifugal blowers like these are a cheap & inefficient way to move air. When freewheeling like this they are savonius turbines with poorly shaped blades.
A connected generator will produce a force opposite that produced by the wind. Generating more power increases this force. If you can stop the turbine with your hand (like you can here) you can only produce as much power as you could produce with a hand crank!
JUNK!

In all the years since the first high efficiency cell was made, about 50 yrs, how many where produced? I doubt we will ever produce that type of power from cells. But they are on the right path.

If SSP requires $100/lb to LEO and we get a new Musk every 20 years we need 4 more halvings to get LEO costs down to the $100/lb mark. At 20 years per halving, that's 80 years. Given 'progress' since Apollo which was 40 years ago, 80 years does not sound outrageous at this rate. What you want is an enterprise whos job it is to develop cheap ISP 300 and cheap ISP 400 rocket engines.

None of our fusions reactors are net energy producers except the ones that last phempto seconds. But for space solar power all you need is cheap access to space. One day one of those will be developed. But with the broken institutions of the West, the more likely outcome will be us using the same power in 2100 that we used in the 1920's. We are not a forward looking society anymore.

... By: lichtempfindlinch. on 14 Jun 09, 07:11:45 Hi Knight,
EcoFreako? Explain please.
You like myself live on a Planet...A Very Rare one at that. We may still be here for a very long time...But we should have at the very least ,respect for where we tread our feet knight. Young or old, I Have seem some Dream's Pummel the Elder older folk's countless time's. The Younger Generation Only need's history, Experience, and training from them to get us further on the road to something new.
Oil and Gass are not renewable.
It is so sad they ... By: WarOnWind. on 09 Jun 09, 18:19:48 It is so sad they build these things. They kill birds and bats. When they provide power, they just put another power plant on standby, meaning the power plant still burns fuel but doesn't provide power. They put the power plants on standby because the power the provide fluctuates and it takes 2-3 days to restart a coal-fire power plant. Wind and solar wont work with our grid and current technology. Investments in solar and wind only increase everyone's electric bill.
Venus Schmenus. ... By: knightmascara. on 05 Jun 09, 10:26:03 Venus Schmenus. Wait till they wake up to energy bill that is ten times more than what they pay now.
Anyone can dream.
If there was a better way market forces would have prevailed. Solar is not practical until you can go to Ace Hardware and purchase a panel that will compete with the price of conventional energy.
There are a lot of things that are harmful in life. Energy is not on that list. Crossing the street could be harmful so should we eliminate roads? RU an EcoFreako?

You are not seasoned like me. You assume that I have no clue, par for the course for young person such as yourself with dreams of alternative energy. Alternative energy is good but how is it alternative if it is more cost? I guess it ain't alternative. And your fact of us running out of fuel in 30 years is laughable.

The countless accident's that could have been prevented is only not coming up to a conclusion that "hay mabye this isn't the best way".

You're telling people to wake up?Do you have any clue what's happening to our planet?True this change to alternative may be costly but if more people take the time and incentive it will become cheaper.You need a wake up call yourself.There is less than 30 years left of carbon based burning fuels and the time we have now is a minute compared to the eternity of the earth.We need to act now.
Alternative energy ... By: knightmascara. on 02 Nov 08, 07:53:44 Alternative energy costs three to five times more than conventional energy such as coal, gas, hydroelectric and atomic.
Are you willing to pay for those alternative fuels. I am not. And I am opposed to our government appeasing the green people by having the taxpayers and end users of electricity pay for this folly.
We've seen this in the 1970s. And what happened? People discovered there was no payoff. Even though the physicists said there was no such thing as a free lunch.
WAKE UP PEOPLE!

I placed a plastic bag filled with water on the backside to absorb the heat. Also.... Mirror arrays work better with less heat. New high temp panels work better. Because solar cells have very thin wire, a little heat increases resistance and limits the flow. If you can take cells, apply a heat sink to each, and apply better connectors, you can handle more heat. WOULD be cheaper to just..

We're still not ... By: enevighet17. on 04 Mar 10, 01:31:26 We're still not talking about property right.
I'm guessing you're owning a computer. Lets say that the revolution happened tomorrow and that the legal right to property was abolished. UR computer wouldn't disappear right? It would still be in your possession. Property ownership still exists even though U don't have any legal right to keep it.
That sounds very simple minded. Before the need of happiness (self-realization?), you've got for ex. basic physiological needs and the need of security.
@enevighet17 its ... By: xkeltoix. on 02 Mar 10, 23:46:20 @enevighet17 its not a matter of what i think, property rights cannot be justified and a legitmate argument for explicit rights to resources has yet to be justified

Don't twist the ... By: enevighet17. on 02 Mar 10, 20:55:45 Don't twist the subject. "Property right" is the legal right to keep and use your property. We're talking about "property ownership", which is the actual ownership of property. It exists de facto no matter how irrational you might think it is.
No, marxism means to set up the dictatorship of the proletariat, which will break down the bourgeoisie and implement communism. That's also what Lenin did (or tried to do).
Maybe you don't acknowledge Lenin, but most Marxists (in my experience) do.
@enevighet17 if you ... By: xkeltoix. on 28 Feb 10, 19:11:13 @enevighet17 if you accept property rights on the grounds of "because" then you arent rational, and no sustained human happiness can actually happen from your train of thought
Lenin is an off shoot of Marxism. It deviates very much from it. Marxism is meant to be all governments destroyed, Leninism is a dictatorship in one country thats pseudo-socialist.
its dishonest to say its the same. Some people still like Lenin. whatever. I dont.
Property ownership ... By: enevighet17. on 28 Feb 10, 17:01:21 Property ownership exist de facto no matter what argument you have for or against it. Hence, violence must be used in order to overthrough the natural order.
Of course, he made his own interpretation of marxism just like you have made your own. What says you're right, and he's wrong? Lenin's ideas and methods are not necessary, but possible and actual consequences of Marx theories.
Lenin has meant a lot for Marxist ideological tradition and it is truly dishonest to deny this.
@enevighet17 you ... By: xkeltoix. on 27 Feb 10, 18:34:52 @enevighet17 you cant abolish property ownership because its never been a right in the first place. Not until theres a truly rational nonutilitarian argument in favor of it.
Lenin warped Marxism for his own ends.
That's not true. ... By: enevighet17. on 27 Feb 10, 15:00:19 That's not true. Property ownership does not disappear just because you abolish people right to keep their property. A landowner will still use his land and if you try to take his land, he will resist. If he doesn't get any legal help from the law, he will protect his land by his own means.

Owning and using ... By: enevighet17. on 25 Feb 10, 15:48:03 Owning and using your own property is not an expression of violence. Forcefully taking my property on the other hand is violence. All communists try to abolish property right and when they are doing so, people are killed. Hence, many people have been murdered by communism. It is about the implementation.
Lenin was a communist and he did follow Marx very well. Maybe he doesn't represent your branch of communism, but he was a marxist.
Not sure what you mean by evolution of communism...
And what is the " ... By: kev3d. on 25 Feb 10, 11:36:57 And what is the "progressive era"? What does that even mean? Do you think there is LESS private property since women got the vote or slaves were freed? No, the reverse is true. When more people are given the right to participate in the capitalist system, the more wealth, more private property and more innovation is created. The government intervention is a necessary hindrance at best and oppressive at worst.
Private banks are ... By: kev3d. on 25 Feb 10, 11:30:35 Private banks are part of the free market, secondly, government interference in banking and markets has either directly caused or failed to prevent 14 recessions and depressions since the Federal reserve was established.
GPS, another military project, went from a tool for tanks to a profitable enterprise all around the world. Still, privately sponsored sats have been in orbit since 1962, mostly for communication, entertainment and weather.
@kev3d every ... By: xkeltoix. on 25 Feb 10, 11:00:16 @kev3d every business youve worked for has, even if they themselves didnt intend on it, because the banks that loaned to them certainly did.
The only satellites I know of that cell phones use is GPS, which is government.
we havent had free markets in the us since before the progressive era.
Well no business I ... By: kev3d. on 25 Feb 10, 10:14:18 Well no business I have worked for has received tax money. And yes, cell phones do in fact use Satellites, towers too, but the point was about a free market space program. It is true that rights are being eroded and corruption increases when governments unfairly fund special projects and screw with the free market. The current recession is entirely due to government meddling, artificially driving up the cost of real estate by guaranteeing risky loans.
@kev3d cell phones ... By: xkeltoix. on 25 Feb 10, 07:44:17 @kev3d cell phones use towers, and again, just because something was made in the market doesnt mean that it had to be.
practically every business gets tax money. we dont have anything close to a free market anymore.
And the space ... By: kev3d. on 25 Feb 10, 07:25:45 And the space program would not have existed if it wasn't for the airplane, invented by the Wright brothers who had no government funding. Same for the phone and transistor and vacuum tube.
Ever use a cell phone? That satellite was put up there by the free market. There have been some advances made by some contracts by governments, but mostly it came from consumer demand. Do you use you personal ENIAC to plot missile trajectories or do you play games on a PC?
@kev3d Indeed it ... By: xkeltoix. on 25 Feb 10, 06:27:05 @kev3d Indeed it was part of the cold war. No it couldnt. The free market cant even today do anything with space travel, unless government contracts are involved, in which case it wouldnt be a free market.
I didnt say they were social programs. The technology took off because it was put in a position to. If it wasnt for the government funding it wouldnt have existed in the first place.
Thank you mother, I ... By: kev3d. on 25 Feb 10, 06:16:49 Thank you mother, I feel fine.
The moon landing was a government program as a proxy battle to the cold war. Our free market system produced better machines than the soviets over the long haul. The Internet and some early computers were military projects, not social programs, even then it still took competition and profit through awarded contracts to develop the results. The technology only took off AFTER the market was allowed to use them.
@kev3d moon landing ... By: xkeltoix. on 25 Feb 10, 05:56:41 @kev3d moon landing was a result of collectivism as was the internet and computers and more.
Its not utopian, problems would still exist, just not the same ones. Perfection isnt possible
and coke is bad for your stomach.
Yeah, the "slow and ... By: kev3d. on 25 Feb 10, 05:44:26 Yeah, the "slow and inefficient market"...66 years from having no airplanes to landing a man on the moon. 200 Years from having a life expectancy of 33 to nearly 90. 20 years from having no public internet to billions being connected every day. REAL inefficient.
Infinite apples...all resources available to everyone all the time everywhere....yeah, thats not Utopian at all.
I believe in Capitalism because I just bought a coke for 90cents, they wanted the money, I wanted the coke.
@kev3d Its not my ... By: xkeltoix. on 25 Feb 10, 05:29:34 @kev3d Its not my fault that the market hasnt delivered technology humanity has wanted for quite a long time now. But robotics are inevitable, despite the slow inefficient market.
I have no utopian view. Stop with the emotions, thats exactly why you are naive enough to believe in capitalism.
Theres plenty of ambition in this society. the basis of the society is that your ambitious goals can actually be met. equal access to resources = goals are attained quicker
If you are going to ... By: kev3d. on 25 Feb 10, 05:24:35 If you are going to add technology that doesn't exist, why stop there? Why not have robots perform ALL labor and humans can simply sit on their ass all day eating grapes and writing poetry? Your utopian vision is completely devoid of any nuance or subtlety. This is how ant colonies work. Few, simple needs, work only serve only the collective, no private ownership (except the queen perhaps) no ambition.

Hydrogen is the fuel of the furture there is no dout. ;)
By: ultimazer1. on 13 Feb 10, 13:00:08
ethanol and other bio fuels are more harmful to nature when burned than usual petrol. In addition they also create competition between food and petrol which makes food prices rise which is just absurd. We don't need new fuels, we need a transition power everything with electricity. Electricity can be generated from lots and lots of different sources and renewables are the only way to go.
By: quidproquo2004. on 12 Feb 10, 17:33:51
Cellulolistic based ethanol and corn based ethanol are not sources of renewable energy. These plants get their energy from the sun: the incident radiation and also from the fertilizers they are fed (petroleum byproducts): the sun is a source of renewable energy, not the plant with all of its primary, secondary, and tertiary dependencies. Secondly, considering these plants as a sustainable source of energy is dubious at best. Their usefulness will be highly region dependent.
By: myozone. on 31 Jan 10, 14:59:18
Hmm, the only REAL answer is not be reliant on our cars/transportation as we have been in the 100 years. We have think BEFORE we used OIL and live as we did then - DON'T look for 'alternatives' to an OIL based economy its unsupportable and not sustainable. OIL = WARS - be warned !
By: cruncher221. on 23 Jan 10, 10:17:30
wow instead of spending bilions of dollars on low production renewable energy plants we could develop a better way of working with the nuclear energy and dispose the toxic materials into space->leading to more space technology development as offproduct. Please do not give money to those who developed global warming(since IPCC "lost" its data there is no scientific proof the earth is warming up ;) )
By: pacificcresttrans. on 18 Jan 10, 11:32:13
The wind and sun are the two prominent sources of clean energy. With a growing urgency to fight climate change, renewable energy may be the way ahead. Transformer company, Pacific Crest Transformers has been working on promoting and building a renewable energy economy.
By: RamsesReturns. on 07 Jan 10, 08:29:06
The same people who have prevented man from using alternative sources of fuel for decades, are now touting that it is urgent that we find alternative sources for energy. Have they convinced enough of us that the global warming is a threat? I don't think so. They have prematurely pulled that trigger. In light of climategate, there will be more who open their eyes.

Now there are so many possibilities for alternative fuel. Liquid fuels made from organic materials e.g sugar and vegetation. Gas fuels made from methane and c02, compressed air engines, hydrogen, electricity created by either nuclear or hydro, wind and solar means. Magnetic energy, Kinetic energy. The list goes on and on, and you can combine all of these methods with one another for even greater possibilities. The only reason we still use fossil fuel is because its extremely profitable.
By: cityflyguy. on 30 Aug 09, 10:03:43
I dont believe that internal combustion engines are the cause of so called climate change. But I recognise that reliance on oil is both uneccesary and dangerous. Just look at the current scramble for oil between nations of the world carving up the middle east, africa and central asia for pipeline and refinery deals. Sadly more global conflict will result from this, much like the european scramble for africa back in WW1.

Restoring industrial hemp to its rightful place in agriculture today will return much control to our farmers, and away from the multinational corporations that dominate our political process and destroy our environment. These capital-intensive, non-sustainable industries have usurped our economic resources and clear-cut huge tracts of the world's forests, given us massive oil spills, wars, toxic waste, massive worldwide pollution, global warming and the destruction of entire ecosystems.

I actually support 'CrimsonKaiju' here, he was very calmly explaining his believes and we had an intelligent discussion. Although we will never agree we never became hostel or swore, it was refreshing. Do not group me with you 'cosmo' you are far to aggressive, why get angry over what someone else believes? Live and let live.
