A gas barbecue grill that uses browns gas (HHO) is the Cadillac of grilling. Question, would you choose a flame that dried things out or one that gently blankets your food with water vapor?

Oct 16, Coal gasification converts carbonaceous materials into useable syngas.

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 03:19:20 GMT

Coal gasification converts carbonaceous materials into useable syngas. The question is; can it really be cleaned up for use YES. Once created, technology can make it into ultra clean fuel.

Oct 15, The coal liquefaction process can creates clean gasoline diesel and kerosene

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 19:22:13 GMT

Historically, coal liquefaction resupplied dwindling energy stocks where secure supplies of petroleum were unavailable. Liquefaction turns a solid into a liquid, such as gasoline diesel and kerosene

Oct 9, Thankfully, coal energy provides nearly 23% of the nations electrical power

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 05:39:35 GMT

Currently, coal energy provides nearly 23%of our nations electrical power. Without it the country would literally grind to a halt. Moreover, many things we take for granted come from coal.

A hydrogen water torch, AKA a oxyhydrogen torch that is actually a sophisticated version of the common blow torch, only this one can cut and weld at ultra high temperatures.

Sep 26, Thermoacoustics a curious relationship between heat cold and sound oscillations

Sat, 26 Sep 2009 04:05:55 GMT

Thermoacoustics is heat that makes noise and noise that makes heat. More specifically sound oscillations that transport heat or cold, both of which can be used to generate sound oscillations.

Sep 25, A stirling engine is a thermodynamics marvel, it uses heat to do useful work

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 00:24:12 GMT

A Stirling engine uses nothing more than heat to produce really cool energy. The fuel could be solar energy, waste industrial heat, cryogenics temperatures, a biomass furnace, geothermal heat.

Aug 26, Photovoltaic materials create electricity by converting solar photon energy

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 03:04:13 GMT

Place any of a variety of photovoltaic materials in direct sun light and they immediately begin creating electricity. Their nature is to convert the suns photons energy into free electrical power.

Jul 30, Utilizing electromagnetic energy available everywhere

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 23:19:28 GMT

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.

Jul 30, Huge Power from Micro Cubes

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 20:23:11 GMT

Imagine a cube of micro tubes about half the size of a sugar cube producing 2 to 20 kw of thermal energy. What would a cubic foot of such cubes produce? The amazing energy output from these small objects would occur due to the Casimir effect.

Basically the casimir phenomenon is the result of electromagnetic fluctuations in a vacuum where two bodies are closely positioned to one another. These fluctuations produce a slight charge in each body causing them to attract to each other, thereby releasing energy.

This 0.1 micron tubes (tunnels) could be produced using microchip lithography technology. Such tubes could be stacked into energy producing cubes. This is no longer science fiction, but reality. The potential for huge power outputs boggles the mind.
