D. Allan, Free Energy News There are some real gems here that I wish I had time to develop further,
whether into full feature pages, or at least a news bullet, posted both in our
news and in the appropriate directory pages. Unformatted News StoriesFeatures HopperHere are some links for pages I hoped to build features for. May yet get around to it. Maybe you could build a feature page at PESWiki for us on one or more of these? -- Sterling
Regular News HopperHere are some items I had in the hopper to post as regular news bullets. There are, mixed in here, some material that was also going to go into feature pages. -- Sterling (Feb. 21, 2010) For the most part, these are listed usually oldest first, newest last. ******************************************************************************* http://www.greendesignbriefs.com/component/content/article/6409 Carbon nanotubes are one of the most promising new materials in textile science. They are sub-microscopic, hollow fibres of pure carbon. To the naked eye, they look like black powder, but their true fibre nature becomes apparent under the electron microscope. Not only are carbon nanotube fibres are immensely strong but they also possess two special characteristics: they have excellent electrical and heat conductivity. Buckytubes have extraordinary electrical conductivity, heat conductivity and mechanical properties. They are probably the best electron field-emitter possible. They are polymers of pure carbon and can be reacted and manipulated using the tremendously rich chemistry of carbon. This provides opportunity to modify the structure and to optimise solubility and dispersion. Very significantly, buckytubes are molecularly perfect, which means that they are free of property-degrading flaws in the nanotube structure. Their material properties can therefore approach closely the very high levels intrinsic to them. These extraordinary characteristics give buckytubes potential in numerous applications. Buckytubes are the best known field emitters of any material. This is understandable, given their high electrical conductivity, and the unbeatable sharpness of their tip (the sharper the tip, the more concentrated will be an electric field, leading to field emission; this is the same reason lightening rods are sharp). The sharpness of the tip also means that they emit at especially low voltage, an important fact for building electrical devices that utilize this feature. Buckytubes can carry an astonishingly high current density, possibly as high as 1013 A/cm2. An immediate application of this behaviour receiving considerable interest is in field-emission flat-panel displays. Instead of a single electron gun, as in a traditional cathode ray tube display, here there is a separate electron gun (or many) for each pixel in the display. The high current density, low turn-on and operating voltage, and steady, long-lived behaviour make buckytubes attract field emitters to enable this application. Other applications utilising the field-emission characteristics of buckytubes include: general cold-cathode lighting sources, lightning arrestors, and electron microscope sources. The special nature of carbon combines with the molecular perfection of buckytubes (single-wall carbon nanotubes) to endow them with exceptionally high material properties such as electrical and thermal conductivity, strength, stiffness, and toughness. No other element in the periodic table bonds to itself in an extended network with the strength of the carbon-carbon bond. The delocalised pi-electron donated by each atom is free to move about the entire structure, rather than stay home with its donor atom, giving rise to the first molecule with metallic-type electrical conductivity. The high-frequency carbon-carbon bond vibrations provide an intrinsic thermal conductivity higher than even diamond. In most materials, however, the actual observed material properties - strength, electrical conductivity, etc. - are degraded very substantially by the occurrence of defects in their structure. For example, high strength steel typically fails at about 1% of its theoretical breaking strength. Buckytubes, however, achieve values very close to their theoretical limits because of their perfection of structure - their molecular perfection. This aspect is part of the unique story of buckytubes.
Buckytubes are an example of true nanotechnology: only a
nanometer in diameter, but molecules that can be manipulated chemically and
physically. They open incredible applications in materials, electronics,
chemical processing and energy management.

In a shocking interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper on June 29th, Allegiance Capitol Corporation V.P. Fred McCallister said that BP is deliberately sinking oil with the toxic chemical disbursant Corexit, to hide the size of the oil spill. By sinking the oil before it can be collected, BP won’t have to pay fines on it. McCallister said, “Everybody in Europe, where the standard practice is to raise the oil and collect it, is scratching their heads, and quite honestly laughing at what’s happening in the Gulf.” He added, “Everyone is looking at us and wondering why we’re allowing this to happen.” McCallister is set to appear before a Senate investigative panel on Thursday and testify that BP’s only interests regarding the Deepwater Horizon spill is protectimg their own financial interests. His statements explained why BP has been refusing offers of help from additional foreign skimmers. BP’s fear is that independent skimmers would be able to count the number of gallons collected, and thus provide the US government with data to assess spill rate financial penalties against BP, according to McCallister. “BP is in control of this situation and they are doing what’s in the best interests of BP and their shareholders,” McCallister said. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/2010/06/epa.html memo: Return Brick Recycling Robot Transforms Rubble into New BricksWhat if there was a machine that could automatically collect rubble from torn-down buildings and transform the material into new bricks? That’s exactly what designers Youngwoo Park, Hoyoung Lee and Miyeon Kim are proposing with their “Return Brick” recycling machine, which could help keep construction materials out of the landfill. The little robotic machine would search for small fragments of brick and concrete, grind them up, and reform those pieces into new Lego-like bricks, which are easier to stack and build with.

Report: Oceans' demise near irreversible
--Moving toward the tipping point 04 Jul 2010 A sobering new report
warns that oceans face a "fundamental and irreversible ecological
transformation" not seen in millions of years as greenhouse gases and
climate change already have affected temperature, acidity, sea and oxygen
levels, the food chain and possibly major currents that could alter global
weather. The report, in Science magazine, doesn't break a lot of new
ground, but it brings together dozens of studies that collectively paint a
dismal picture of deteriorating ocean health.

These include nitrogen oxides (NOx). In the form of nitrogen dioxide it reacts with chemicals produced by sunlight to form nitric acid â?" a major constituent of acid rain â?" and also reacts with sunlight, leading to the formation of ozone and smog. Everyone is exposed to small amounts of nitrogen oxides in ambient air, but exposure to higher amounts, in areas of heavy traffic for example, can damage respiratory airways. Testing has shown that [0]surfacing roads with air purifying concrete could make a big contribution to local air purity by reducing the concentration of nitrogen oxides by 25 to 45 percent."

Hello!
There is a wonderful audio interview here about
Fractal Electric Fields
Here it is:
Dan Winter is an electrical engineer and a wonderful teacher, and highly capable of imparting new knowledge about building fractal electric fields which support self-organizing living spaces that radiate a life-giving charge. Dan provides insight into fractals and how they work, and explains what magnetic maps tell us about war or peace anywhere in the world. We discuss the necessity of living architecture to well-being and a healthy immune system, the plasma universe, heart coherence, causes of gravitation that have never been understood, implosion water and its benefits, the causes and cures of desertification, and the importance of the golden ratio in living structures. What do fractals have to do with GMO foods and happy DNA? Why are living capacitors so important to life itself? Tune in and discover the Holy Grail of physics! Solar panels suffer from one problem: the hotter they get, the less efficient they are. To deal with this, Solimpeks, a solar panel manufacturer in Turkey, is making hybrid solar panels that produce both electricity and hot water. With these hybrid panels, however, there is a double benefit. Not only is there the extra production of hot water with the same panels, but the removal of heat from the PV panels also increases their efficiency in generating electricity. Super Fast EV Charger Hits 50% in Three Minutes EV charging is becoming serious business. Better Place, Coulumb Technologies and others are competing to get their charging networks into the most cities, but so far there hasn't been a charging speed war among companies. That may change soon. Japanese company JFE Engineering has developed a quick charger that can get your car's battery from zero to 50 percent in just three minutes. ******************************************************************************* Energy_URL: http://www.rboxllc.com/ Energy_Title: Insulated Electrical Box name: Bill Daviau email: billdaviau@aol.com relationship_to_listing: associate list_name: yes list_email: yes Date: Friday, July 16, 2010 Energy_Description: New technology saves 4.5% of home heating and cooling cost.

Thanks Darren Walker Tesla:
The Missing Papers One of the more controversial topics involving Nikola Tesla is what became of many of his technical and scientific papers after he died in 1943. Just before his death at the height of World War II, he claimed that he had perfected his so-called "death beam." So it was natural that the FBI and other U.S. Government agencies would be interested in any scientific ideas involving weaponry. The morning after the inventor's death, his nephew Sava Kosanovic´ hurried to his uncle's room at the Hotel New Yorker. By the time he arrived, Tesla's body had already been removed, and Kosanovic´ suspected that someone had already gone through his uncle's effects. Technical papers were missing as well as a black notebook he knew Tesla kept -— a notebook with several hundred pages, some of which were marked "Government." Just after World War II, there was a renewed interest in beam weapons. Copies of Tesla's papers on particle beam weaponry were sent to Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. An operation code-named "Project Nick" was heavily funded and placed under the command of Brigadier General L. C. Craigie to test the feasibility of Tesla's concept. Details of the experiments were never published, and the project was apparently discontinued. But something peculiar happened. The copies of Tesla's papers disappeared and nobody knows what happened to them. www.fractalfield.com/implodernews The IMPLODER.. Released- Growth Effect - Results now compelling..

Late last night officials announced that a seep had been detected “a distance” from the well, and now the federal government is taking steps to make sure that BP monitors the situation closely and is able to devise another plan quickly in the case that oil is indeed still gushing from a previously undetected underground location. A spokesman for BP explained that it is still unclear whether the source was the blown-out well since seeps are a natural phenomenon in the Gulf.

GETTING AROUND IRS & THE FEDERAL RESERVE
A LAWFUL REAL BLACKMARKET:
Competing currency being accepted across Mid-Michigan
07.12.2010 --New types of
money are popping up across Mid-Michigan and supporters say,
it's not counterfeit, but rather a competing currency.
Right now, you can buy a meal or visit a chiropractor without
using actual U.S. legal tender.
They sound like real money and look like real money. But you
can't take them to the bank because they're not made at a government mint.
They're made at private mints.
"I sell three or four every single day and then I get one
or two back a week," said Dave Gillie, owner of Gillies Coney Island
Restaurant in Genesee Township.
Gillie also accepts silver, gold, copper and other precious
metals to pay for food.
He says, if he wanted to, he could accept marbles.
"Do people have to accept dollars or money? No, they
don't," Gillie said. "They can accept anything they want or they can
refuse to accept anything."
He's absolutely right.
The U.S. Treasury Department says the Coinage Act of 1965 says "private
businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept
cash, unless there is a state law which says otherwise."
That allows gas stations to say they don't accept 50- or $100
bills after a certain time of day in hopes of not getting robbed.
A chiropractic office in Lapeer County's Deerfield Township
allows creativity when it comes to payment.
"This establishment accepts any form of silver, gold,
chicken, apple pie, if someone works it out with me," said Jeff
Kotchounian of Deerfield Chiropractic. "I've taken many things."
Jeff Kotchounian says he's used this Ron
Paul half troy ounce of silver to get $25 worth of gas from a local
station.
While the government and banks don't accept them, many others
do.
So why is there interest in these competing currencies?

Report: 97 percent of scientists say man-made climate change is real June 22, 2010, USA Today http://content.usatoday.com/communities/sciencefair/post/2010/06/scientists-overwhelmingly-believe... A new survey out this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ... found that 97 percent of scientific experts agree that climate change is "very likely" caused mainly by human activity. The report is based on questions posed to 1,372 scientists. Nearly all the experts agreed that it is "very likely that anthropogenic greenhouse gases have been responsible for most of the unequivocal warming of the Earth's average global temperature in the second half of the twentieth century." As for the 3 percent of scientists who remain unconvinced, the study found their average expertise is far below that of their colleagues, as measured by publication and citation rates. In the study, the authors wrote: "This extensive analysis of the mainstream versus skeptical/contrarian researchers suggests a strong role for considering expert credibility in the relative weight of and attention to these groups of researchers in future discussions in media, policy, and public forums regarding anthropogenic climate change." The report comes as the Earth continues to sizzle in 2010. So far, through May, 2010 is the warmest year ever recorded, according to the National Climatic Data Center.

Delays, rocketing costs and financing problems have hit the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) whose consortium members start a meeting on Tuesday aiming to get the project back on course. ITER was s ... more Synthetic Gasoline Is Created From Biomass and Solar Power Concentrated solar energy is most commonly used for electrical power generation. However, a Colorado company, Sundrop Fuels, has a unique approach to the production of biofuel by that marries the mirrors and tower of concentrated solar power with their process for the production of bio-based fuels. Biomass Energy a Harder Sell in the US Although the adoption of biomass power is on the rise in Europe, the same case is not true in the United States where renewable power generating facilities are increasingly coming under attack. Plans for a proposed biomass plant in northern Michigan were recently shelved due to public opposition, and the utility board has decided to reconsider a natural gas plant instead. Proposed facilities in other states are also facing opposition. A Boost for Battery Life and Capacity by Kevin Bullis Electric cars could benefit from a new manufacturing method.

Ecopod Recycled and Biodegradable Coffins for a Green AfterlifeIf you’ve resolved to be more eco-conscious in your everyday life, why stop in the afterlife? The Ecopod is a coffin made of 100% recycled newspaper, finished with a colored sheet made of recycled silk and mulberry leaves. It’s available in four different colors: blue with doves, green with a Celtic cross, red with an Aztec sun, and a baller gold leaf (applied by hand) version. What a smart (and more affordable) alternative to sepulchers made of chipboard and laminate. E. coli Bacteria Could Be the Next Source for Cheaper BiofuelsE. coli may not be the smartest thing for your body to ingest, but this bacteria could be just the thing to get vehicles up and running around more efficiently. A team of researchers at LS9 — a self-described “renewable petroleum company” — have discovered that the unsavory Escherichia coli could be used to make so-called “drop-in” biofuels at existing pipelines and refineries. Solar Power Is Cheaper Than Nuclear for the First TimeHere’s bright spot in the news of the day: energy from new solar installations has, for the first time, become cheaper than energy from new nuclear plants, according to a new Duke University study. Thanks to cost-saving technologies and economies of scale, price can no longer be an excuse to invest in nuclear power rather than solar. | Chevy Volt Not Green Enough For California | | from the no-rebate-for-you dept. | | posted by samzenpus on Wednesday July 28, @20:22 (Power) | | https://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/07/28/224254/Chevy-Volt-Not-Green-Enough-For-California | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ thecarchik writes "The first two plug-in cars from major manufacturers will go head-to-head on warranties and lease prices: $350 a month for the 2011 Chevrolet Volt, $349 for the 2011 Nissan Leaf.

Oil Spill UpdateFirst hour guest, ecological biologist David Blume talked about how bacteria can eat up some of the oil from the Gulf spill. However, the bacteria is taking up a lot of the water's oxygen which leads to a die-off of ocean life. He also noted that the dispersants used on the oil just make it look like it's gone, but it's still there on the surface.

Synthetic Gasoline Is Created From Biomass and Solar Power Concentrated solar energy is most commonly used for electrical power generation. However, a Colorado company, Sundrop Fuels, has a unique approach to the production of biofuel by that marries the mirrors and tower of concentrated solar power with their process for the production of bio-based fuels. Instead of burning biomass for the energy needed to create biofuel, Sundrop uses concentrated solar as their energy source to gasify a range of feedstocks including agricultural waste, energy crops, and wood waste. The Sundrop process can produce a range of fuels including gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel. Hawaii ideal for ocean-based renewable energy plants Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) involves placing a heat engine between warm water collected at the ocean’s surface and cold water pumped from the deep ocean. Like a ball rolling downhill, heat flows from the warm reservoir to the cool one. The greater the temperature difference, the stronger the flow of heat that can be used to do useful work such as spinning a turbine and generating electricity. Researchers say that the temperature differential is around one degree Celcius greater on the leeward side of Hawaiian islands it is better suited for future ocean-based OTEC energy plants. Read More

Why didn't we have Thorium when they were working on it during the cold war?
Weapons proliferation
Why have they been suppressing alternative energy systems?
How else could they justify building the Large Hadron Collider and the new
ITER system?
How do you make antimatter? Proton Accelerators!!!
If you control the means to make the most powerful weapons in the universe,
ones capable of destroying entire planetary systems, who is going to stop you
from doing whatever you want? Aliens?
"There is considerable skepticism within the physics community about the
viability of antimatter weapons. According to an article on the website of the
CERN laboratories, which produces antimatter on a regular basis, "There
is no possibility to make antimatter bombs for the same reason you cannot use
it to store energy: we can't accumulate enough of it at high enough density.
(...) If we could assemble all the antimatter we've ever made at CERN and
annihilate it with matter, we would have enough energy to light a single
electric light bulb for a few minutes."
Are we really supposed to buy this crap? These machines are using Gigawatts of
power, something on the order of 20% of the US nuclear power generation
capability.
They suppressed the Polywell device, why? Farnsworth Fusor, why?
History repeats itself, why wouldn't they be building weapons?

A kinetic energy-based technology that stems from the same elementary movement that potters and spinners have been using for centuries, the power storage tech will soon be harnessed at the world’s first grid-scale flywheel-based energy storage plant in New York. The $69 million plant will go online later this year and will be a force to be reckoned with – Beacon Power, the company behind the operation, estimates that it will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 82 per cent over its 20-year life and provide about 10 per cent of the state’s energy frequency regulation needs. http://www.abundantcleanenergy.org/ - conf in Seattle

Colorado Startup Uses Coal-Eating Bacteria to “Grow” Natural GasWho needs to drill more holes to get more natural gas when you can just “grow” it in existing ones? Luca Technologies, a Colorado-based startup, has devised a way to generate and extract more natural gas from dried-up coalbed methane wells. The trick: Injecting water, a bunch of microbes, and nutrients into coal seams to jump-start the process, in which bacteria digest coal to make methane, the primary constituent of natural gas. “It’s almost like fertilizing the lawn. We’re helping the biogenic natural gas process,” Robert Pfeiffer, the company’s CEO, tells CNET News. “The whole basin is already made by this same microbial life we are working with today.” World’s Largest Tidal Turbine Unveiled in ScotlandThis turbine may look a bit more stout than most we’re accustomed to seeing, and the double rotor configuration is unusual. That’s because this is not a wind turbine, but rather a new underwater turbine unveiled by Atlantis Resources Corporation as the world’s largest tidal turbine which is due to be installed in the waters off of Orkney, Scotland later this summer.
