The Hydraulic Ram Pump
Further losses occur in the distribution and use of the electricity. This mechanical hydro-power device is well established for domestic and farm water pumping at remote sites, where there is a steady flow of water at a low level. The momentum of the stream flow is used to pump some of the water to a considerably higher level. For example, a stream falling 2 m below can be made to pump 10 of its flow to a height 12 m above.
Morays Radiant Energy Device
One of the remarkable examples of a successful C0P gt 1.0 system was the radiant energy system of Dr. T. Henry Moray of Salt Lake City, prior to World War II. Figure 5-1- shows Dr. Moray and his final 50 kW unit, powering an assembly of light bulbs 287 . The device weighed 55 pounds, used an antenna connected as a signal input from the ether, but needed no input of electrical energy by the operator in order to achieve its steady power output.
Edwin Gray Cold Electricity
Ever since I first encountered the work of Edwin Gray more than a quarter of a century ago, I have attempted to unravel the mystery of how he produced free energy. Only recently has sufficient information emerged to enable me to finally piece all of the clues together and reach a definitive conclusion. In The Free Energy Secrets of Cold Electricity, I share this 27-year odyssey and the knowledge that has evolved along the way. Edwin Gray discovered that the discharge of a high voltage capacitor...

Rossi has Radically Redesigned Ecat, more Test Data Leaked
Photographs and test data leaked from a recent third party test of Andrea Rossi's ecat low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) device indicate that the inventor has radically redesigned the technology. The same pictures and data could also make it easier for others to replicate Rossi's results . Pictures released with the first paper show a much smaller ecat assembly it appears to be about the width of a broom handle. It also only appears to be less than a foot long.
Simple Homemade Bimetallic Thermostat
Air collectors are primarily used for heating buildings. This makes sense, since buildings are usually filled with air. These systems are relatively new in the history of solar energy, first used around the 1950s. Air collector systems are also probably the most misunderstood of all solar energy applications, which led to the poor installation of thousands of systems more on that later in this article series . This is the first in a series of articles on the design, function, and installation...

The lead acid battery
Although many electrochemical reactions are reversible in theory, few are suitable for a practical storage battery, which will be required to cycle hundreds of times between charging and discharging currents of 1-100 A or more. The most widely used storage battery is the lead acid battery, invented by Plant in 1860 and continuously developed since. Such a battery is built up from cells, one of which is shown schematically in Figure 16.3. As in all electrochemical cells, there are two electrode...
Pocketplate Nicads in Home Power Service
I have just recovered from a pain in the neck that lasted twenty years. It started with our first lead-acid battery's arrival in 1970. I've had this pain for so long it became normal and I hardly noticed it anymore. The energy portion of my life revolved around these lead-acid batteries. All the decisions and compromises in our system were to accommodate the cranky lead-acid cells. The list of Dos and Don'ts was seemingly endless. Thou shalt not discharge more than 80 of the energy in the...
Homemade Copper Solar Cells
Oxide called cuprous oxide, and a black oxide called cupric oxide The dark red cuprous oxide has photoelectric properties but black cupric oxide does not.

They are insulated, lined with a special corrosion-resistant membrane. The...
Pressurized Glycol Systems
In this active, closed-loop system, incoming potable water is routed to the solar storage tank, but never into the collectors. A water and antifreeze mixture circulates from the collectors through a coil of pipe in the solar tank, and then is pumped back through the collectors. The potable water is warmed by heat transfer through contact with the pipe. In most climates, a 50 50 propylene glycol and water mixture will keep collectors from freezing. These systems require an expansion tank and a...

First, fully recharge the cell, and then continue to charge the cell at a C 20 rate for five to seven hours. During equalization charges, the cell voltage will become very high, about 2.7 VDC per cell. This overcharge contains the necessary power to break up the smaller lead sulfate crystals and return these sulfate ions into solution in the electrolyte. The larger sulfate crystals, however, cannot be broken up even by an equalizing charge. If a sulfate bond spends several...
Simple Payback
A simple payback calculation can provide a preliminary judgment of economic feasibility. The difference is usually around 3-7 between borrowing money for a system and lost interest if you have enough money to pay for the system. In 2003 and again in 2008, the lost interest rate was very low. The easiest calculation is cost of the system divided by cost displaced per year, and assuming that operation and maintenance is minimal and will be done by the owner. where SP simple payback, years IC...

Chapter Aerial Systems
It is generally thought that aerials are not capable of gathering much power. The popular conception is that the only power available is low level radio waves from distant radio transmitters, and while it is certainly true that radio waves can be picked up with an aerial, the real sources of power are not radio transmitters. For example, we will be looking at information from Herman Plauston and he considered any aerial system of his which did not produce more than an excess power of 100...

From the starting point movement is both inwards and downwards at the same time. The whorl-pipe must be cone-shaped on its longitudinal axis. In experiments with cylindrical pipes few noteworthy effects were achieved. In addition, there is also a third direction of movement, which seems to be the most important.
Construction Blades
For years, small wind turbines blades were made of wood, carved from a single piece or from a wood block glued together from several pieces. The material properties of wood are good strength, flexibility, and resistance to fatigue. Machines could carve up to four blades from a master blade. However, for large blades, solid wood was not acceptable, as the weight became too large. For larger blades, one construction was similar to an airplane wing, a spar and ribs with a covering. The spar is the...

Teslas Self Sustaining Electrical Generator
Adapted from Proceedings of the Tesla Centennial Symposium, 1984 Abstract Before the discovery of the electron, the principle theory used to describe the electrical activity was that of the ether. At the turn of this century, the ether theory in use by science was a remnant of the concept common in western thought for several centuries. This situation favored the rise of atomic theory. This change in scientific paradigm requires a translation from 19th century terminology into 20th century...

Wind Speed Distributions
If data are not available, then the wind speeds can be predicted from one or two parameters. A number of different distributions have been tried, but only two are in general use, Rayleigh and Weibull distributions. These distributions give poor estimates of power for low mean wind speed situations. At higher wind speeds, both give adequate estimates for many locations however, for those regions with steady winds, such as the trade winds, the Weibull distribution is better. The Rayleigh...

Defkalion Finally Releases Data on LENR Device
Defkalion Green Technologies has finally released some data about its Hyperion low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) device . The Greek Canadian company has been promising that they'd release the data for months. LENR testing at Defkalion I don't know if this is Michael A. Nelson or not. Now they've released an independent report and two videos that seem to corroborate their claims.
Data Centers are Vast Users of Energy, LENR could be the Answer
Inside of a Data Center courtesy NY Times The New York Times has discovered that data centers the giant banks of servers that the internet and the cloud operate on are vast users of electricity . The Times estimates that data centers currently waste about 90 of the electricity they draw from the grid. The newspaper discovered that data centers use about 30 billion watts of energy a year which is equivalent to the output of 30 nuclear power plants .
Current LENR Industry Reminiscent of Early Days of Computer Industry in Silicon Valley
Once upon a time computers looked like this A number of observers have noted that the current low energy nuclear reaction or cold fusion industry is reminiscent of the early days of the modern computer industry. These observers are right there are serious parallels between today's LENR business and the computer business back in the 1970s. Until the 1970s computers had been the domain of big business and big government .

The two currents Figure 12.18 Here...
How Cold Fusion can Reduce Costs and Increase Prosperity for Everybody
The biggest effect that cold fusion or low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) will have on the economy is that it could reduce costs for everybody. Now obviously LENR would not be free energy as some of its enthusiasts have claimed but it would be far cheaper. Andrea Rossi has estimated that it will cost around 10,000 Euros ( 12,884 US) a year to operate one of his 1 megawatt ecat LENR plants . If this figure is true that means there could be a steady energy cost.
Josephson Reveals Discussion with Rossi
Brian Josephson Nobel Prize winning physicist and retired Cambridge professor Brian Josephson has apparently met with Andrea Rossi the inventor of the ecat low energy nuclear reaction device . The E-cat World blog has posted what is apparently a letter from Josephson. Josephson who has been an outspoken supporter of Rossi and cold fusion was apparently in Miami recently. So he looked up Rossi who lives in Miami Beach and sat down with him.
Criteria for a Successful LENR Device
With several companies claiming to be developing low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) devices many of us are probably wondering what criteria a successful LENR or cold fusion device would have to meet. Several different sets of criteria have been suggested some of which don't appear that useful. Simply creating a low energy nuclear reaction isn't good enough. That's been done thousands perhaps tens of thousands of times since Pons and Fleischman started work in 1989.
Cold Fusion Pioneer says LENR is not Fusion
The man who invented the term cold fusion now says that the effect popularly described as cold fusion or low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) is not fusion. Professor Emeritus Steven E. Jones told Sterling D. Allan of Pure Energy Systems that he's not sure what to call the effect. Jones is the man who came up with the term cold fusion in a Scientific American article in July 1987. Jones was actually researching the phenomenon two full years before Pons and Fleischmann put it on the map.
National Instruments is Serious about LENR
Scientific equipment maker National Instruments (NI) has gotten really serious about low energy nuclear reaction (LENR). At its NIWweek 2012 conference which is taking place this week even the company's President and CEO Dr. James Truchard spoke at some length on LENR. In his conclusion to the opening speech Truchard noted his company's long involvement with LENR and mentioned its work in the area. Dr. James Truchard We've been there all along in this very controversial area , Truchard said.
LENR, the Media and the Scientific Community: Conspiracy or Prejudice
Martin Fleischmann's death earlier this month and the recent NIWeek conference have brought low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) some attention. Yet the recent developments including the public demonstration of cold fusion devices have not attracted much media attention. Francesco Celani actually showed his device off in the Austin Convention Center at NIWeek not a single reporter noticed.
Some of the Biggest Names in Tech are interested in Fusion
Fusion of both the hot and cold varieties is suddenly very hot in the world of technology. Some of the biggest names in the technology businesses are investing big money in various fusion schemes, Fortune reported. Some of the most noticeable names and investments in fusion include The General Fusion reactor Jeff Bezos is putting his money into. Amamzon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos is backing a firm called General Fusion which is trying to create hot fusion with high tech hammers.
LENR Entrepreneurs between a Rock and a Hard Place
Inventors and entrepreneurs trying to develop low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) technology are literally between a rock and a hard place. These people need large amounts of money to develop a working technology yet they probably won't get that money unless they can demonstrate a working LENR device . The LENR inventor or promoter faces the problem of approaching investors and potential investors with a completely revolutionary technology.
Is Bill Gates Financing LENR Research at Texas Tech
The Martin Fleischman Memorial Project is making the claim that Bill Gates may have donated to a low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) research effort at Texas Tech University, that started in 2014. Michael McKubre an advisor to Brillouin who has done LENR research for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) is also involved in the effort.
Cold Fusion and Universities: the time has come !
Despite a number of exciting developments in the field, including Italian inventor Andrea Rossi's announcement of his E-cat LENR device last year, most universities have totally ignored cold fusion . Professor Brian Josephson , Nobel Prize winning and professors of physics at Cambridge University, is one of the few people in Universities who had the courage to speak loudly about cold fusion and LENR .
CBC Reports on Cold Fusion and Andrea Rossi
A major North American media outlet the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), has reported on cold fusion or low energy nuclear reaction (LENR). The piece by Torah Kachur also mentioned Andrea Rossi and e-cat . This is the first time a major media outlet has reported on Rossi's work in a while. Kachur at least is fair she refuses to engage in the childish accusations of fraud and simply points out that Rossi's claims have not verified.

How Do the Seasons Affect Insolation
Explained was that the earth moves around the sun at an average speed of about 18.5 miles a second, and that on December 21 we are about 89.8 million miles from the sun, but 95.9 million miles from the sun on June 21. This is because the sun isn't always in the exact center of our orbit. Our childish logic might have told us that it should be the other way around if we were closer in December, it should be warmer then summer What we also may not have understood as very young children, but could...
Demand for Alternative Methods of Electricity Generation Increasing
Even Exxon-Mobil the world's privately owned oil and gas company admits that electricity production is the future of energy. This bodes well for alternative methods of electricity production such as low energy nuclear reaction (LENR). Exxon is predicting that if no other sources of electricity appear around 30 of the world's electricity will be produced by natural gas by 2040. The company estimates that around 25 of the world's electricity is currently generated using natural gas.
How Cold Fusion Could Create the Next Great Economic Boom
New technologies often lead to economic booms , sometimes to great economic booms. Most of us can remember the technology or internet boom of the 1990s which transformed our lives and made vast fortunes for those who understood the new technology. Yet that is only one of several economic booms that have transformed the world over the past few centuries. There is a strong possibility that the next great economic boom will be touched off by low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) or cold fusion .

Wind Speed Histograms
A wind speed histogram shows the number of hours or whatever time period is used the wind blew at each wind speed class Table 3.5 . Wind speeds were sampled at 1 Hz and averaged for 1 h, and year wind speed histograms for 1996-1999 were averaged to obtain a representative annual value. An average density of 1.1 kg m3 was used to calculate the average wind power potential. The average wind speed was 8.2 m s, and the average wind power potential was 467 W m2 for a height of 50 m. The plots of the...
Remarks on Dirac Sea Holes Currents and Negative Energy
The subject of the Dirac Sea, Dirac holes, Dirac hole currents, and negative energy still has elements of strong disagreement within the scientific community and among leading theorists. Often the conclusion one reaches depends on the way the starting assumptions are made and then on how the mathematics is applied. There is no definitive experiment establishing that negative energy cannot exist to the contrary, many things do occupy negative energy states. The binding energy of the nucleus,...
The Electric Force Field
To understand high-frequency and RF electronics, you must first have a good grasp of the fundamentals of electromagnetic fields. This chapter discusses the electric field and is the starting place for understanding electromagnetics. Electric fields are created by charges that is, charges are the source of electric fields. Charges come in two types, positive (+) and negative (-). Like charges repel each other and opposites attract. In other words, charges produce a force that either pushes or...
Stationary Electric Power
One of the characteristics of fuel cell systems is that their efficiency is nearly unaffected by size. This means that small, relatively high efficient power plants can be developed, thus avoiding the higher cost exposure associated with large plant development. As a result, initial stationary plant development has been focused on several hundred kW to low MW capacity plants. Smaller plants several hundred kW to 1 to 2 MW can be sited at the user's facility and are suited for cogeneration...
