Plasma Rocket
Plasma test shots from the VASIMR VX-100 prototype plasma rocket housed at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. The video is slowed down to 1/2 speed. In general, these types of thrusters (ion thrusters, Hall thrusters, and VASIMR) take advantage of extremely high exhaust velocities and generally have the ability to operate continuously for months. Although the […]
Can anyone PLEASE answer this question about Geothermal Energy?
While geothermal energy use is efficient, reliable, and environmentally friendly, it currently meets less than 1% of U.S. power needs. Why is that?
How do you calculate how much energy solar panels create in a month?
I am doing research on solar panels and I am having trouble figuring out how much energy each one can produce in a given span of time. Knowing this would help me to approximate how many I would need to offset certain consumers in my home.

Why must the external electrical supply for an electrolytic cell be a direct current?
Instead of alternating current?
can you give me tips on how to conserve electricity, water, and phone bills in the office?
How to generate electricity from powered sewing machine, whose motor runs around 2000 rpm?
We’ve 500 powered sewing machines in our factory. Like all the machines running by motor these, sewing machines are also working. My idea is to use motor’s rotation to generate electricity, like wind mill and turbines work. Conversion of elxtrical energy to electricity. Can someone help me how to execute this in most economical way…
General Motors Sequel – Fuel Cell Hydrogen Car
A video of the General Motors Hydrogen Fuel Cell car. Once these cars start selling, our dependancy on foreign oil will change. Oh yeah, it’s pollution free, no emissions. This will be a significant impact on global warming.
Hydroelectric Plant Tour (part 2)
Green Valley plant tour continued. More hydro-history revealed.
Do hybrid cars use their electric motors when accelerating at high speeds?
What are Obama and McCain’s stances on alternative energies?
Other than Ethanol based fuels (which don’t even qualify as a stop-gap), what have the candidates said about solar, geothermal, wind, hydroelectric, tidal, biodeisel, hydrogen fuel cells, or the fully electric car?
Candidates for Senate deeply split on energy, climate

Biofuel – Food For Thought
A new crisis is emerging, a global food catastrophe that will reach further and be more crippling than anything the world has ever seen. The credit crunch and the reverberations of soaring oil prices around the world will pale in comparison to what is about to transpire.

John McCain: Nuclear Power Plant Tour
John McCain Nuclear Power Plant Tour Newport, MI 08/05/08 TRANSCRIPT: PROTESTER: Fermi 3 would pose the same sorts of environmental risks that present and past nuclear plants do. There’s of course a long standing controversy about the exposure to low level radiation over long periods of time. But beyond that, there’s still the threat of […]

Jupiter Icy Moon Orbiter
JIMO mission by NASA which was designed to observe the various moons of Jupiter (Europa, Ganymede and Callisto specifically) but lost funding in 2005. It was to have an ion propulsion engine called HiPEP (powered by a small fission reactor) and a Brayton conversion system which would convert reactor heat into electricity (which would have […]
Does anyone know what the name of the PBS documentary where the couple stops using coal and nuclear energy?
There was a documentary about energy consumption in America where the couple wanted to be zero emissions. It talks about nuclear energy and coal plants and everything. They end up reducing energy and buy carbon shares or whatever those are called to become essentially zero emissions. Both of those are incorrect. This was a low […]
