Raw News Hopper -- Oct. 13, 2007

This page contains items I placed in my news hopper, intending to format them for inclusion in the news, but limitations of having only so many hours in a day prevented it.  Rather than have them go unannounced altogether, I present them here in a raw format.

    Hi all,

    I've been involved with these technologies for quite a while and am
    excited to tell you about a collective intention project - the first
    ever it seems backed by quantum technology to get LOTS of people
    putting in their intention to get free energy technologies out.

    Here is an ebook telling you details:
    http://www.project1world.org/h2o/the_power_of_collective_intention.pdf

    Or if you just want to get to the point and get involved without even
    being asked for a credit card info or anything since there is no cost
    to use this real Matrix caliber technology, go here:

  • 08/23/07 - Bedini Products Website
    Although there is no solution to reconstituting a shorted battery cell, a severely sulfated battery can be "Radiantly" charged back to a near new condition. Conventional chargers cannot break through the sulfated layers that normally form through conventional charging and discharging cycles. After becoming so sulfated they can no longer be charged, most old batteries are recycled or discarded as worthless. Our innovative new process now makes it possible for you to recover these unchargeable batteries, with replacement costs typically between $60.00 to $6000.00 depending on your battery type. We have recently developed several different charging systems which are unique and available to different market segments for industry and consumers alike. / Products - Daily use of the Genesis Charging System on new batteries will keep them working like new and old batteries will become like new after repeated cycling. This all equates to longer run times and extended battery life. The amazing effects of Radiant charging will result in less energy consumption, less battery recycling and 30% or more available stored power. The above pictures represent a 1000 amp-hour highly sulfated forklift battery, that could not be conventionally charged. In just six cycles we can clearly see that the sulfation has started to break-up and is returning active material to the battery plates. This battery is currently operating at over 50% of its original capacity, and will continue to increase over repeated cycling. Unlike any other charging systems, this battery can now be placed back in service and run a complete eight-hour shift before recharging is necessary. With continued charging and discharging cycling the Radiant charger will slowly break through the sulfated layers until the battery reaches its optimal performance level. / r-charge.com - Someone named Rick kindly provided this URL for actual sales of Bedini products where you can buy them.

    Two systems are herein proposed, detailed at www.renewableenergypumps.com.  They excel all others.
    1. Wave Air Pump - WAP: Compresses air and feed it into the air inlet of a turbine, add fuel as needed to maintain turbine output irrespective of wave heights.
    2. Wave Water Pump - WWP: Lifts a small quantity of water to a high head and feed it to a hydro-turbine to produce power, or compressed air to feed another turbine and act as a WAP.
    A set of pumps up to ten may be installed in line with the incoming waves and a mile wide to extract most of its energy.
    The proposed systems can generate electric power at a cost less than 2 Cents per kilowatt-hour.

    Energy_body:

    NOVELTIES
    1. Simple construction, low capital and maintenance costs, efficient energy extraction, auto-adjust to varying wave heights and sea levels, and provide dependable power output.
    2. Resist storms, and are safe to navigation.
    3. Zero emissions; do not disturb marine life or shoreline scenic view, and provide a Free Floating Break Water Structure.

  • Wouldn't it be great if you could alter the code that runs your appliances? One could experiment, even improve on the factory settings to minimize the resources used. That new program could be distributed via Internet, folks could upload it into their machines, and tons of electricity and other resources could be saved worldwide. Turns out, some products have already implemented the concept. ::more


  • I don't really have time to make a wiki entry, and since I cannot
    register anyway, I'll just email it to you and let you do what you want
    with it.

    [...]

    I saw the above linked video on YouTube a while back and saved it to my
    computer... it has since been removed from youtube and I forget who
    posted it. It was later reposted by some guy called "MYLOW121363" but I
    am pretty sure this was not the original poster... that video was
    removed as well.

    In the text description of the vid, the guy says all the disk magnets
    are north end up, and... I don't have a copy of the text, but... I
    believe he said the two top magnets were north end "out" (over the
    disk). He says in the video that the disk is "non-magnetic" but the guy
    obviously does not know that moving aluminum in a magnetic field is
    paramagnetic... in any case this is a very interesting version of the
    Minato wheel (but using orthogonal field interaction and an aluminum
    disk), and quite possibly something entirely new. When I saw this video
    I saw a completely new paradigm of magnetic motors where the magnets
    were not just attracting or repelling, but actually "gearing" according
    to the Gauss theory that the lines of magnetic force were not static as
    they appear to be in the presence of iron filings, etc, but in some way
    vorticial. In other words, the magnetic vortices of the magnets on the
    disk were in some way "gearing" with the vortices in the magnets on the
    aluminum bar... and maybe the paramagnetism of the disk in the field of
    the fixed magnets and vise versa causes a homogenizing effect... who knows.

    I cannot tell what he is talking about when he says the two top magnets
    are "angled"...

    Anyway, I built something close to this on a 19" x .25" aluminum (6160)
    disk, we used 32 neodymium .25" x .25" magnets in each ring (ours went
    all the way around the disk) and two monster 1" x 1" neodymium magnets
    on the top (didn't have any regular magnets handy) and we could not get
    any motion in the tests with only north end up on the aluminum, however
    we then flipped a quarter of the magnets in the inner ring to south end
    up and in one test we got the thing to "jitter" through 5 magnets...
    then in euphoria we flipped the rest of the inner magnets to south, and
    got nothing... then we had to go...

    Have not worked on it since.

    Hope you can use the vid, or at least the description.

    Please don't use my name... I did not make the video, and don't want any
    credit. Thanks.

    Oh, the video title on youtube was, "Magnetic Spinner"

    Energy_body:

    See Theory and Design of the New Rational Combustion Engine (459 pages, 800 equations), the doctoral dissertation of Ronald W. Satz.  All previous Brayton cycle engines have utilized a separate compressor and expander. To overcome this limitation, the author/inventor has designed a new rotary positive displacement Brayton type engine in which each mechanism both compresses and expands the working fluid. Since each mechanism goes from cold to hot and back to cold, the material will remain at approximately the mean temperature of the compressed and expanded gas.  Thus much higher temperatures can be used--with much less expensive materials.  Computer simulation indicates that the overall efficiency of the engine will be 57%, which is more than twice that of the conventional Otto-cycle engine.

    memo:

    All design work has been completed.  Awaiting funding.  Dr. Satz will serve as chief consultant for development.

    Description:
    Simple modification to inlet and outlet of windows air conditioner with side outlet, can improve up 50% cooling effectivecan.
    body:
    The idea can be apply to specific type of windows air conditioner with side air outlet.
    The main idea was to redirect the cold air, from conventional (blowing up the cold air to the ceiling) to more natural (blow it  down). Any body from cooler countries, where air conditioners are not used , cool the worm room by opening the window. The first thing what is notice is, cold air on your feet. That a natural air flow.
    Following the basic idea of natural air flow, I make simple modification to existing air conditioner.
    The only requirement was that the particular air conditioner will have to direct the cold air down.
    In 2006 I purchase General Electric  air condition model AGM06LJG1 (unfortunately is already out of production for 2007).  That unit is 6000Btu and EER 10.7. I plan to cool area 432 square ft. - three rooms ( you may notice that this unit is at list two time smaller then normally required). 

    I modified the inlet to get the air from the top (basically I cut spice of cardboard and mounted to fron side). To more effectively direct the air from outlet, I cut spice of flexible plastic (1ft. long and 5” wide) and taped on the top of the air conditioner outlet so the piece hanging in from of the outlet. One of the problem I notice was the the spice of flexible plastic was too light and when the fan start working it went  horizontal and become ineffective. I solve that by simple counter weight on the end of the plastic sheet (the sheet place between two small spices of permanent magnets). That counter weight can be adjusted by moving it up and down depend of air speed.
    It was necessary to modified the temperature sensor (thermocouple) position in order for the original air conditioner temperature control be effective. The modification was just by extending the connecting wire to approximately 5ft. so it can detect temperature lower portion of the room not the inlet  air  temperature.
    All the modification are very simple and crud by any means, and can be made by any body with list skills .
    What was the expectation:
    1.Improve effectives of cooling more then one room  using single window air conditioner  by feeling the rooms with cooler air from bottom up. The cold air have higher density then worm one and act more like water spell on the floor evenly distribute.
    2.Improve the effectiveness  by limiting the total volume air to be cooled to 50%  (50% of hight of the room).
    3.Improve the efficiency of the air conditioner by directing the warmest air in the room instead of average room temperature. The air conditioner I a heat pump where the effectiveness increase if the differential between input air temperature on cold side and input air temperature on warm side are mall as possible.  The example can be refrigerator and air conditioner. The refrigerator COP is around 2.0 (big air temperature differential) and air conditioner with COP of  3.5 (small  air temperature differential).
    What is the result:
    The air conditioner is able to cool tree room to a temperature of 75F at night with inside humidity of 39-45%  with out side temperature of 88F and 60% humidity.

    I believe that the unit will have to be around 8000Btu in order to get lower humidity for that area.
    That approach can be specially usefully for somebody living in apartment that is located on the last floor where roof isolation is not particularly effective. The traditional air conditioner exacerbate the situation by blowing the cold air to the ceiling increasing the heat transfer from the roof to the cooled room.
    The only air conditioner that have similar characteristic to the presented above are split unit air conditioner , however there are significantly more expensive then traditional window units.

    Subject: Car/Engine witch use compressed air instead of fuel

    Hello Sterling

    My name I’s Fredrik and I’m writing from Sweden. I’m a regular reader of freeenergynews.com and all the great articles published there.

    Recently I found an article on the major Indian car manufacturer Tata Motors website that did catch my interest.

    According to their press release they have signed an agreement with a French engine manufacturer that have developed an engine concept that use compressed air as a fuel/propellant easily described. They seem to have car prototypes already finished and are almost ready to start produce these cars.  It seems that they focus on small cheap cars for the Asian market but can easily adapt the concept to lager car models. Tata Motors made headlines not long ago when they announced the vision of making a car for the Asian market with a price tag not over 2500 dollars. I don’t know if the” air” car is part of that vision but it is really interesting.

    I have a couple of links with information both from Tata Motors and MDI, the French company that have invented the engine. I also found an article on Gizmags website about the project. I hope you find this as interesting as I did, it seem

    Energy_Description:
    The novel proposed schemes of hybrid Solar Chimney Power Plant (SCPP) offer a number of potential advantages and represents an innovative way to reduce cost and minimizing the environmental impact. They are based on thermal conversion, which allows hybrid operation with both solar radiation and low temperature geothermal to continue generating electricity even when sunlight is not available.

    Energy_body:
    New schemes of Hybrid SCPP would fully exploit the potential of the geothermal/solar combination, based on the following principles:
    * supply solar heat to the transparent solar PV/T arrays , to achieve the highest possible conversion efficiency,
    * supply low temperature geothermal heat to the collector zone, to achieve the highest possible geothermal contribution,
    * hybrid geothermal/solar operation, to provide dispatchable full capacity at sunny and cloudy periods of operation, without solar-specific restrictions on the plant’s operation.
    This is a major advantage since it enables operation according to the actual demand for electricity, without limitation to sunlight hours only and considerably improves SCPP ability to compete with conventional power plants.

    Energy_Description:
    The new design features an array of nano-towers — like microscopic blades of grass — that add surface area and trap more sunlight. "It allows more opportunities for the photon to hit the part of the cell that creates electricity," said Jud Ready, the senior research engineer at Georgia Tech who invented the panel.

    Low temperature, pressure-less, catalytic conversion process for any biomass, from switch grass to plastic and waste oil, with a highly positive energy balance. Result is high-quality diesel fuel.

    KDV – the New Alternative, Alternative Fuel, the Unique ULSD Bio Fuel

    The 3rd Generation of Alternative Fuel

    >From Trash To Value

    >From our trash cans right into the fuel tank of cars and jet planes. What sounds like wizzardry from the movie "Back to the Future" is actually already reality and in semi-industrial scale production and large-scale tests in Germany, Mexico, Canada, Italy, Spain, Bulgaria, Lituania, Hungary etc, and several other units at present under construction.

    With fuel prices at an all-time high and a growing demand for alternative fuels, like Ethanol and Biodiesel, this technology is now timely introduced.

    Energy Visions, Inc., a US corporation located in the Bay Area (www.energy-visions.com) has entered into an R&D program with an US aircraft manufacturer and an airline for R&D in conversion of regrowing material into A1 jet fuel.

    This system has been developed by German scientist and entrepreneur Dr. Christian Koch of Alphakat GmbH, with over Euro 30 million budget and over a period of more than 30 years in total.

    With the help of a special catalyst, the "KDV system" (catalytic pressureless depolymerization) is in principle able to convert all and any kind of organic waste, like plastic, waste oil, organic household garbage, paper, wood chips, slaughter house residue, agricultural waste and even dried sewerage sludge as well as the regrowing material, already in use for ethanol and biodiesel production, like soybeans, canola, rape seed, sugar cane, corn and other energy plants into high-grade, ultra-low sulphur diesel fuel or A1 jet fuel. This wide variety of feedstock is a very strong advantage compared to ethanol and biodiesel, which depend exclusively on the starchy or oily parts of plants and stand in direct competition with the human food chain. Sugar prices in Japan, for example, have increased more than 40%, due to the strain on the market for Brazilian sugar cane.

    The yield is between 30% (straw, wood chips, etc.) and 95% (vegetable or waste oil) of the input material, which means one ton of wood chips result in approx. 350 liters of diesel. In comparison the cellulosis ethanol technology, which is worldwide under development at the moment, yields only 200 liters of ethanol per ton of wood. But ethanol has also only about 50% the energy contents of diesel fuel, which means the yield is only about 100 liters diesel equivalent, or in other words the KDV process is 3.5 times as effective.

    Production costs per energy unit are also lower by about 50% and more. The process only requires 10% of the produced energy for production, while biodiesel requires 35%, ethanol between 80% and 110% (depending on the calculation base) and gasoline and diesel from fossil sources require 120% (a negative energy balance).

    Like biodiesel and ethanol, when converting regrowing plant material, the resulting KDV diesel is "greenhouse gas neutral", which means that the CO2 produced in the conversion process and when burning it later in an engine, comes from the CO2 stored beforehand in the plant matter – other than fossil fuels, it is not adding CO2 to the atmosphere. In other words, the internal combustion engine can thus become a part of the natural CO2 circulation, which is then no longer contributing to global warming.

    I strongly recommend that this kit be purchased by some one in the NEC.  I would But do not have the funds at present.  the small kit is a proof of concept of Tesla's remote transmission of power through the natural medium.  In short it is a scalar wave transmitter/ receiver kit.  that will transmit power from one point to another wirelessly.  It also allows one to verify with the correct test equipment, the super limit speed of scalar waves beyond the speed of light. 
     
    What really caught my attention is the pc boards he produced.  I built an apparatus 18 years ago that I used to draw the spiral coils on PB boards and actually produced 8 or 9 of these boards myself.  I never had the equipment or the funds to verify, or carry this any further.  Great to see that it is being offered as a kit now.

  • It is worth mention, but it is not certainly a winner. As a sad commentary on human behavior, this inventor
    could be deceiving us. It is possible this is a different form of chemical battery, not too different from the old carbon flashlight batteries of years ago, without a case and of different electrode configuration. Few videos are definitive. -- Ken Rauen

  • America is Drunk on Ethanol
      photo from wired/ AP/ Charlie Neibergall You can read in Bloomberg how Corn farms have replaced New York lofts as the hottest properties around. "Demand for corn used in ethanol increased the value of crop land 16 percent in Indiana and 35 percent in Idaho in 2006, government figures show. The price of a Soho loft appreciated only 12 percent, while a pied-a-terre in Islington near London's financial district gained 11 percent, according to realtors....."it is the surge in corn prices from ethanol demand,'' said Jim Farrell, chief executive officer at Farmers National Co. in Omaha...``Midwest farmland is predicated by the strength or weakness of corn prices.'' You can read in the Columbus Dispatch that Demand for corn driving up meat prices.: "Strong demand for corn from ethanol plants is driving up the cost of livestock and will raise prices for beef, pork and chicken, the Agriculture Department said Friday." Or you can read this great summary from Wired, which explains the benefits and problems. "The only economical way to make ethanol right now is with corn, which means the burgeoning industry is literally eating America's lunch, not to mention its breakfast and dinner."

  • 03/05/07 - Video - Steorn claims ORBO free energy device Imminent
    KeelyNetOrbo Claims - Orbo produces free, clean and constant energy - that is our claim. By free we mean that the energy produced is done so without recourse to external source. By clean we mean that during operation the technology produces no emissions. By constant we mean that with the exception of mechanical failure the technology will continue to operate indefinitely. The sum of these claims for our Orbo technology is a violation of the principle of conservation of energy, perhaps the most fundamental of scientific principles. The principle of the conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created or destroyed, it can only change form. Because of the revolutionary nature of our claim, not only to the world of science but to the world in general, Steorn issued a challenge to the scientific community in August 2006 to test our technology and report their findings. The process of validation that has resulted from this challenge is currently underway, with results expected by the end of 2007. (via zpenergy.com)
