You are a big dog kid. You turned a vertical turbine on it's side and made it hunt the wind. Damn somebody give this guy some money .

Your machine is straight out of the 15th century - Meaning you saw the problem in a new way. .... controlled by a Mac. Don't ever quit .

You know folks ...

John McCain should have called for a big fat prize for the cheapest meanest and smallest solar cooker . Maybe village sized . Millions of women won't be hauling as much fire wood, or charcoal if we could just do that .... The price of oil drags every fuel source higher.
The Congo is being cut down in part to supply firewood for charcoal. By armed gangs.

Yo Max ---
Bookmarked that page . I always thought that we would engineer a solar "paint" from plants ... For those of you who don't know it. Plants make electricity from sunlight and then do their magic, with the CO2. We're up to our eyeballs in power ..... if we can grow that paint in a tank.
We're painting huts in Africa and pumping water with that stuff baby.

Hi folk,
My name is DB Parker and I've been working on a Horizontal axis Wind Turbine that I call the Spiralairfoil Wind Turbine.

Hi Robert,

Check out the microbial fuel cell research:

Alternately, biomass decomposition or gasification for methane, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide should give some ICE-usable "fuels."

is there anything to use the contents of septic systems or other sewage, on a small scale?

OK Tank Let's start thinking

Thanks for starting this group. A little about my company follows:

ETT offers the potential to eliminate reliance on fossil fuels for transportation – using wind energy generated by your wind farms, hydro-electric, and photovoltaic. Evacuated Tube Transport (ETT)™ is patented transportation technology requiring 1/50th of the energy of trains, cars or planes; it is cleaner, lower cost, safer, faster, and electric.

ETT Technology
Earth orbits at 67,000 mph without friction. ETT works like “Space Travel on Earth” ™. With ETT, air is permanently removed from 2 tubes (one for each direction) along a travel route. Since there is no air in ETT tubes, the passenger capsules are pressurized (like a 6 person biz jet cabin), and travel in the tubes on nearly frictionless maglev; so travel takes place without air friction or rolling resistance.
Airlocks allow access without letting air in the tube. Linear electric motors accelerate the capsules (preferably with renewable energy). During most of the trip, the capsules coast through the vacuum using no power. When the capsules brake, linear generators recover most of the acceleration electricity.
Depending on distance, ETT speed can be up to 350 mph for in state trips, to 4,000 mph for international travel that will take you from D.C. across the Bering Strait to Beijing in 2 hours at 1/10th the cost of airfare.
ETT is networked as are freeways. ETT capsules (hauling people or a pallet of cargo) are automatically routed non-stop between “off-line” network terminals that are disbursed according to demand (like freeway off-ramps are).
ETT capsules weigh only 400 lbs yet haul 800lbs of people or cargo as the typical SUV; so a twentieth as much guideway material is required to support ETT capsules than to support 200ton trains. This reduction in materials, and use of present automated pipeline production equipment drops cost to less than a tenth the cost of High Speed Rail, and less than 1/4th the cost of a freeway. Because of automated passive switching, a single ETT tube can exceed 80 lanes of capacity, further reducing cost.

Private Model
The ETT Patent is assigned to et3.com Inc. (et3 stands for Evacuated Tube Transport Technologies), an open consortium. An inclusive license agreement offers any entity incentives to participate in the plan to implement ETT using their “off-the-shelf” assets (materials, parts, technologies, skills, labor, and production capacities). Collectively companies have already spent billions developing ETT; although most are not aware of it yet; for instance, hundreds of companies worldwide make and install pipelines (tubes), vacuum pumps, and the electronics to operate them. Everything exists to start building ETT now. ETT is being implemented in China, and Korea.

We believe ETT will help achieve the goals and ideals of the Pickens Plan.

Best regards,

Daryl Oster

Thanks for starting this group. I would like to explore the concept of an "idea cooperative" along the lines of a farm cooperative or mutual company. The purpose would be to create an environment where people feel can learn about the state of the art and contribute their ideas for moving the art forward with some level of security. Is that an appropriate topic for this group?

Thanks again,

Rick
