So who needs oil or nuclear power?

[[email protected]]

Excuse me. At www.justice-publications.com/GRAVITY.pdf there is the
description of a novel method of propelling ships and of generating
vast quantities of electrical power ad infinitum, both without
combustion, without chemical reaction and without pollution.
Apparently it was published by the Patent Office on August 18th.

It says that the method is available for anybody to use and is
extremely low technology. It certainly looks ridiculously simple and
apparently it produces about 500% p.a. on outlay. But the inventor
stipulates that it must be undertaken without the assistance of
middlemen or outside funding, which he says otherwise would put it and
its consumers into the financiers' hands yet again, as with oil and
everything else we use. Which I suppose is true.

The article suggests that within five or ten years it will make oil
redundant except as a lubricant, which will take the wind out of some
folks' sails, won't it, and should make a refreshing change all around
the planet.

LIke the "self-winding" watch, this will provide power
and may even propel a ship. HOWEVER, there are
places on the sea called "Doldrums" where there are
no waves or air currents at all.

When I took my two-master through them, you could
use the sea for a mirror. We had to wait a couple of
weeks to catch a puff of wind. This scheme, like the
sails of my boat, would not work in the Doldrums.

Another related energy scheme is tidal force, where
bays are damed to generate electricity.

Sure, require the tide to force
itself both into and out of the bay
through generators.
Aren't they doing that somewhere right now?

Baloney. FUD from the oil, gas and coal carbon-lobby.

EMC was patented by the Black Talon Bullets, Winchester Ammo.
FUD-Meisters at Olin corporation over 40 years ago. It has been proven
in the commecial industrial metals industry that long. A series of 20
improvement patents were taken by Olin. In 1986 YOUR National Renewable
Energy Labs adapted the idea to Silicon -- after all, Si's melting
point is right in there among the various metals that EMC melts and
casts as ingots. NREL took out their patent on using EMC for PV SoG Si
ingot casting. Sumitomo Sitix in Japan and Seimens in Germany cast huge
quantities of the stuff, commercially, within the existing frameworks
of capitalism.

EMC PV SoG Si is mature and thoroughly proven. A chinese National
Laboratory has pages showing they are pursuing this agressively. The
patent is expired and anybody worldwide can ffollow the recipe.

EMC makes cheap Si PV fast in large bulk quantity. It is the lowest
cost, fastes technology known to the human race.

Computations show that solar panels covering 0.8 acres can power one
EMC furnace at 36KWs and that the solar power to duplicate 0.8 acres of
cells is 32 regular average sunny days. THat's about oncce per month
that the power supply duplicates by power of 2. In a year there are 12
duplications of powers of two:
2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 = 4096. THere's enough power in one 0.8 acres
to make 4,096 furnaces producing 17 GWs per year of new capacity. 4,096
x 0.8 acres is about 4 sq. miles of desert or prarie that nobody wants
anyway.

The same math covers floating doldrums.

Olin corporation has been a huge funder to science frauds to keep the
public ignorant and stupid. Olin Chlorine & Pollution supported
Lie-Factories receiving Olin loot...

Wave action via tethered gyroscopes on a boat. Absolutely

It is probably right, but vested interest will not allow it.

So what are the downside of deploying floating solar panels which
electrolyze sea water, with regular LH2 ship traffic making pickup and
delivery? Sounds like millions of sq. miles of real estate that even
nature wouldn't care if it was patchwork covered over.

H2-powered ships with PV cladding could leave port virtually empty and
arrive home full. What's the downside?

The downside is that people don't understand it because it hasn't been
around for 50 years. It is called ignorance...and self interest.

ElectroMagneic Casting is a process formerly under patent, but now
expired so that anyone can do it. The description is in the Patent
Office records.

Simply it is a corral of stainless steel tubes with water flowing
through to cool them from melting. Auound these tubes is coils of thick
busbars which carry radio frequency ergery at high power, like 36,000
watts. THe EMF (Electromagneic Force) of the radio waves cooks the
contents between the corral of tubes to melting point. The bottom is a
heat-protected graphite platform which can be slowly lowered. Material
is poured in on top. The melted material is repelled from the stainless
tubes by the EMF -- it is called electromagnetic levitation.

THe platform is lowered at a slow rate. The molten material below the
coils cools and solidifies. But continuing to replenish the matetial up
top you can draw out large blocks of solid cast material.

With Silicon, this hardens with mutiple crystallization points or
domains, and produces MultiCrystaline (MC) or PolyCrystaline (PC)
ingots. MC PV is not as efficient as Cz PV MonoCrystalline stock, but
the EMC process is so much cheaper and faster that "who cares"? When
you can turn out 20 times or 40 times as much PV waferstock per day as
Cz and your waferstock is half as efficient you still have produced a
lot more PV cell material for lots less energy or investment.

EMC PV SoG Si is 13% to 14% efficient. I always use the more
conservative figure so that surprises are toward the good surprise
rather than towards the disappointing surprize. 13% PV will make 12
watts DV per sq. ft.

MC PV will still make some juice in cloudy or less than direct hours,
so the average hours of sunlight are claimed as 7 average full hours
per day. This would vary by season, and by local climate cloud-cover. 7
hours per day covers much of the USA. 5 hours average in New England.
In summer you might get 14 hours of use.

a 2000 sq.ft house covered with PV could generate 2000 x 12 = 24KWs per
hour for 7 hours. Most homes can't use 24KWs. It comes out as DC.
Conversion to AC is desired, but DC is directly usable by people who
want more of their energy going into useful power instead of the losses
by conversion to AC electricity. AC can be stored by selling it to the
grid and drawing it back at night. DC can be stored as H2. Then you can
run your car off it.

Decentralized EMC PV SoG Si furnaces are about the size of an SUV and
cost less to make and use much less technology than an SUV. Local
cottage industries can handle the demand for PV waferstock in every
town and city. It is a totaly clean industry. It can't ever be
monopolized and controlled from central Kremlins.

Can you re-write that without using capital letters.

The downside is that people don't understand it because it hasn't been
around for 50 years. It is called ignorance...and self interest.

As with this method of producing limitless free energy, self interest
has to be overcome in the interest of the general good. The
alternative being only the general bad.

It said to assist the main engines. Using a variety of energy sources, and
storage, a ship can use stored energy to get out of the doldrums.

In any case, aren't we missing the point here. Its potential for
generating clean electrical energy must be enormous. If one unit of a
hundred thousand tons of inert concrete can generate 300 meg/W
virtually forever without the need of fuel, that has to be considered
- That's enough for a sizeable city, and is a helluva lot more than
windmills or solar.

It seems that massive weight IS the ship. It's not such a stupid idea.

 

[Richard W.]

It seems that massive weight IS the ship. It's not such a stupid idea.

If one of those weights came loose it would go through the side of the ship.

The newer ships run low RPM diesel engines. So it would be rather difficult
to redesign it for this technology. The old T2 tankers from WW2 had steam
generators which powered a large DC electric motor. This technology would
seem to a great addition for those ships. But a total redesign for modern
ships would be needed, because of the efficiencies of the modern diesel over
the older steam ships of WW2

Then for the electrical generation application, redesign them. This
seems to be at the same stage as putting a motor in a cart, then
having to evolve the cart into a car. For limitless free power, that
doesn't seem much to ask.
What's so sacred about ship design anyway, or cars for that matter?
For new ships, that's no problem. For existing ships I suppose the
weight would just have to be set in a frame within the hull.
Well, the problem of oil scarcity is is not going away, so something
will have to be done, and the state of Murmansk is not persuasive to
nuke, is it.

It was suggested that water and fuel tanks be the weights, and suspended
cargo holds too.

What are you on about? The whole ship would have to be a new clean sheet
design.

That is still very common.
