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

soaring oil and gas part 2

Part 2 of 2. Is there an oil conspiracy or is it just economics at work? I hear a lot of people discussing the issue with very few facts brought into the debate. While I understand the disgust for the current price issues I think you have to look at the real root cause of […]

Do I only need solar panels to have energy in day and through the night?

So I want to go completely solar. Do I need the connected solar panels alone for after sundown hours; Do I need something else in order to have energy to run my entire house throughout the night? In other words do solar panels store the energy for after sun-down or do I need other devices […]

Electrolysis Simple Design – Oxyhydrogen HHO Gas From Water

This is a simple spiral design oxyhydrogen generator, utilizing a 6 inch long 5/8 diameter copper tube, with a spiral of stainless steel wire wrapped around. I used three AC to DC converters one 9 volts@210 milliamp, the other two are the same each 4.5 volts@350 milliamps, these are wired series circuit which should be […]

Electrolytic Cells + Amperes?

Commercial electrolytic cells for producing aluminum operate at 5 volts and 100,000 Amperes. How long does it take to produce 1000 kilograms of aluminum? If electricity costs 9 cents per kilowatt hour, what is the cost of producing exactly 1 pound of aluminum?

What determines the power of a wind turbine?

Wind turbines generate electricity through magnetic induction. The blades turn a rotor lined with magnets through copper coils, thus generating voltage. The question is WHAT determines the power output. If the wind is constant, is it the strength of the magnets? Or the length of the copper wire in the coils? Any way a lay-person […]
