The world needs a new source of energy, an unspillable source.

H2OWeld Aluminum Magnet Wire Brazing with HHO gas

Brazing with Oxyhydrogen Gas (sometimes referred to as Browns Gas). The oxygen-hydrogen gas is obtained by an electrolytic process from OWELD machines. www.h2oweld.com The oxyhydrogen flame quickly sublimates the magnet wire enamel so the metal is properly prepared for brazing. Brazing with Oxyhydrogen Gas provides a consistent flame with temperature up to 6600’F for very […]

Is it possible to power the whole United States by solar power?

I saw a movie at school a while ago that said we could power the whole united states if we made a certain state all solar power (I can’t remember which state). Also how many watts does the united states use that way i can calculate how many solar panels would be needed.

DOE JGI’s Termite Biofuel Research

Termites may provide the biochemical means to a greener biofuel future. The bellies of these tiny beasts harbor a gold mine of microbes that have now been tapped as a rich source of enzymes for improving the conversion of biomass to valuable biofuels. The genomic sequencing and analysis of the termite gut microbes by the […]

TVA Announcement on New Nuclear Build

On October 30, 2007, TVA joined NuStart Energy in submitting an application for a combined operating license for a new nuclear power plant to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Rockville, Md. The following is a statement from TVA Chief Operating Officer Bill McCollum that he delivered at the US Capitol later that day.

How Solar Panels Are Made

Real Goods ‘solar guru’ John Schaeffer discusses how photovoltaic modules (solar panels) are made and why it is so important that we continue to develop solar technology. Learn more at www.realgoodssolar.com .

Biofuel use ‘could threaten the poor’

Biofuels – fuels derived from renewable and natural materials such as vegetable oils, animal fats and sugar – are not common forms of energy used worldwide. But they are gaining increasing attention across the world as oil prices rise and the need for cheaper and more climate-friendly energy alternatives grows. Now European delegates are meeting […]
