Energy Blog - the energy place for what's new and not so new
Get factual up to date information and an honest opinion of what's going on within the world of energy. If it exists but ain't here, I'll get around to it. If you don't see it here, and would like to investigate it further, ask for it (say please) and I'll do it. If it don't exist, forget it.
May 14, 2010, Five Shades Of Green Energy. Discovering Clean Inexhaustible Energy Sources.
Don't confuse green energy with some kind of magic elixir, and by the way, it's not really green. It's solar energy, it's wind, it's biofuel, and some other fantastic technologies. Find out about it.

Jul 30, 2009, Utilizing electromagnetic energy available everywhere
This blog is the result of material taken from an abstract of patent 7, 279,286 issued May 27, 2008 for certain devices. The disclosed technology is based upon a procedure to exchange “useable energy from the electromagnetic quantum vacuum available at any point in the universe.” The energy can be extracted in the form of heat, electrical energy and mechanical energy.
By selectively filtering unwanted quantum vacuum frequencies in Casimir cavities, the remaining electron energy levels will result in the release of useable energy. Hence, when atoms enter into the microscopic cavities a decrease in the energy of their orbital electrons occur, thus allowing such energy to be captured. Once captured, the atoms are re-energized by the ambient electromagnetic quantum vacuum. The idea is to extract energy locally, and replenished globally from the electromagnetic quantum vacuum. This process can be repeated an infinite number of times.
Skeptical? The patented process does not violate the first law of thermodynamics, i.e., the conservation of energy. The patent covers devices in which a gas is recycled through multiple cavities. Hence the devices can be scaled in size for different applications. Small batteries to utility sized power plants where huge generators produce many megawatts of power.
