Can the world run on water?
Thousands of successful water-conversions around the world are proof that this technology works and will soon catch on! From being used by this guy's torch, HHO gas can prove to be a means to fuel automobiles. The prospect of using HHO to fuel cars successfully almost seems like a dream come true. Thousands of successful water-conversions around the world are proof that this technology works and will soon catch on! From being u... more

Using Ocean Temperature Differentials to Generate Power
Any person with any background in thermodynamics knows that all you need is a difference in energy levels to create power. Think of it this way. If an air conditioner uses power to make cold air and hot air (expelled outside), couldn't you take hot air and cold air to make power? Could you do the same with hot and cold water? The simple answer is yes. Getting there is where the engineers come in. Using temperature differentials in the water, engineers use ammonia as a medium to create power. Hot water on the surface vaporizes a closed system of ammonia. The ammonia, expands when vaporized, and turns a turbine to create power. The hot ammonia is pumped down to cold water, which steals the heat from the ammonia and makes it a liquid again. The cold ammonia is pumped to the surface and the cycle repeats.
It is interesting to note for all you non engineers out there, that wind power works off the same principal. Wind is powered by temperature differentials. The wind turbine just steals some energy from the moving wind to turn the blades. This seems so much more efficient and reliable though. Any person with any background in thermodynamics knows that all you need is a difference in energy levels to create power. Think of it... more -
Giant Kite pulls along a Freight Ship
This is amazing! A company called Sky Sails makes kites the size of football fields to pull along huge boats. This one kite sail can reduce fuel consumption by 50%! As well as this the boat gets to be the envy of all the other boats in the ocean since it has a great big kite to be jealous of.
What I don't understand is, what happens if there is a storm? This is amazing! A company called Sky Sails makes kites the size of football fields to pull along huge boats. This one kite sail can r... more
