Organic Batteries: 4 Breakthrough Prototypes for Clean Energy Storage (VIDEOS)
These 4 organic batteries are about to leave the corrosive ‘copper top’ and that highly-annoying drumming pink bunny in the dust. When it comes to free energy production, whether we’re talking about solar power, wind turbines, tidal energy, or even the water vortex power plant – they all seem to have one thing in common:…
Read MoreBladeless Wind Turbines: Tesla Technology That’s Revolutionizing Energy Production
A number of cities and municipalities in countries across the world have banned wind turbines due to their many disadvantages. Current wind turbines with rotating blades are visually obstructive, mechanically inefficient, cause noise pollution, and have been reported to have detrimental health effects on residents living near them. Furthermore, bladed wind turbines have also proven…
Read MoreThorium Superfuel: A Clean, Safe, and Abundant Energy Source?
Thorium is a weakly radioactive metallic element that’s number 90 on the periodic table. It is silver in color but tarnishes black when oxidized, forming thorium dioxide. Thorium is hard yet malleable and has a high melting point. While uranium nuclear reactors, like the ones commonly used today, utilize uranium directly, thorium nuclear reactors derive…
Read MoreThe Water Vortex Power Plant for Clean and Sustainable Energy
The water vortex power plant is a type of micro hydro (energy generated from moving water) turbine energy production system which converts energy from a liquid vortex into electricity. The vortex, which powers the turbine, occurs above the central drain of the water vortex power plant. Greek-Australian Lawyer and Inventor Paul Kouris first patented the…
Read MoreBiogas: How the U.S. can Power 46 Million Homes with Energy from Food Scraps, Grass Clippings, and Feces
If the U.S. used all of their untapped organic ‘waste’ – humanure, livestock manure, dog & cat manure, grass clippings & leaves, and food waste – they would generate about $54.4 billion in clean Biogas energy every year, at no extra cost. Biogas is a combustible gas mixture generated when organic matter, such as animal…
Read MoreWind Turbines Causing Health Problems to People Living Near Them
Windmills may be an environmentally friendly alternative energy source but they also cause devastation to bats and birds as well as debilitating health problems, according to people living near them. Wind turbines are popping up in rural communities around the world, including Canada, in the hope that they will reduce reliance on coal and other…
