Wind Power Then and Now

Wind power has been a source of energy from as far back as the 1st century AD. In the early centuries when the first set of windmills were built, the blades were made of a wooden frame covered with cloth. Though these windmills were not like our turbines today in look. They were very effective in fulfilling the purposes for which they were made. They were mostly used for grinding corn and to draw up water. Windmills were also used in the sugarcane industry to extract the cane juice for processing.

The windmill as it was known back then was also good in providing a means of pumping water. This made the lives of many farmers so much easier as they could get more water into their fields. It also helped the rail industry by allowing them to send water to wells which were more accessible to steam engines.

However things began to change in the 1980’s. We found out a way in which we could generate electricity by simply using the wind to power electricity producing turbines. This was the beginning of a new era. The design was modified to improve efficiency. Some countries now get up to 19% of their electricity from the wind. The numbers continue to grow as more and more countries realize the importance of using renewable energy such as wind power.

Water to fuel

Converting water to fuel is one of the best ways to save money spent on gas. It helps improve fuel economy. It gives you a chance protect the environment by reducing your dependence on oil therefore in effect reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emission you put into the atmosphere. You through your actions is given the opportunity to also reduce our dependence on ethanol, therefore reducing our dependence on corn based fuel. That will help to increase the amount of corn available for food which will help to reduce food prices.

Life is one big chain, you see everything is connected. The actions you take today will have an impact on the world tomorrow. It is really tough when you have to pay so much for the essentials in life. It can be so burdensome. That is why am encouraging you to take what ever action you can take to help preserve our environment. If you check out my last post you will see where I made a comment on the plans outlined by Al Gore to have America running on one hundred percent renewable energy in ten years. That is a solid vision and if we could all get on board it would be such a great achievement.

Using water as fuel is one such method that we can use to help make an impact. It does not cost forever to set up and before you know it, you will be saving so much on gas. Water is the source of life people normally say. But could this really be the break through that we need. Only time will tell. See yah. Do check out my page about converting water to fuel. See it here

One hundred percent renewable energy in ten years

That is some dream. I was just checking out Al Gore’s presentation about his renewable energy plans that was done sometime ago and thought I would make a comment. It to me is a very ambitious statement. Very bold indeed. Looking into to it one has to understand what he is doing is exactly what we need. A bold statement that we are going to get something done and gather enough support so that we can gather no moss. It makes perfect sense. Sure he has the support of a great deal of people. That should be strong enough to drive the belief to fruition.

Action has to be taken just the same in other parts of the world, but I will assume that it would be quite expensive if every country attacked the issue at the same time. Assuming that a lot of borrowing might have to take place to cover all the costs. Come to think of it it is a really good idea if the countries that are already saving by using renewable energy could play a part in funding the other countries until the transformation is complete.

Some countries will go at it first I know so it should then be easier for everyone else to learn. Maybe even by then we will find some even more unique ways of solving energy problems. Listening to the presentation I could not help but notice that he said we could lose the polar caps during summer months by the next FIVE years (is that a possibility? well we’ll see in five years). He also mentioned that the rapid increase in global warming is one of the leading causes of tornadoes and lightning flashes such as those causing the California fires.

If that is the case I would suggest that we act really quickly because this is serious. Aside from the large scale renewable energy solutions there are little things you could do to help reduce your main grid energy dependence. You can indeed build your own wind turbines at home. Check this…

How are you coping with high gas prices?

Hi there I just wanted to have an idea how you are responding to high gas prices.

• I know some people have turned to their bicycles.
• Some people are so desperate they see life as being hopeless.
• Some people have decided to use the train.
• Others are taking buses.
• There are those who have canceled their long anticipated beach trip for a location that is less entertaining but cheaper to reach.
• Some are determined not to let the prices impact too heavily on their lives.
• People are doing more walking.
• There are those who choose to stay at home instead of going out as they normally do.
• Some have found ways to conserve energy around the home.
• Others are driving their car on water. Click Here!
• Some are driving non at all.

• What are you doing?

Foot for gas

Many people are parking their cars and turning to the pedals of bicycles and other such machines for traveling. It was about time I would say. There is no exercise in driving to work, standing up in an elevator or sitting down at a desk all day. Have a little fun and ride a bike.

Riding a bicycle to work is nothing strange or odd. Bicycles are one of the main means of transport in Japan and China. Conditions are not much different in the western world. They are also a popular occurrence in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Besides being fun bicycles are a great way for exercise and are good for running short errands. Due to the cost of gas, many liberties that people used to have are being taken away. They have to survive and they are adapting. If you do not know how to ride a bicycle. Here is a little advice before you bruise a knee or elbow.

Taking care of drought threatened areas

Drought has always been one of the biggest threats to animal and plant life. It can be caused from natural reasons or simply by people carrying out bad environmental practices. What ever the reason it is still a problem. Studies that have been carried out are suggesting that the increase in global warming is causing many rivers to dry up. Most of these rivers supply large areas with food, irrigation and water for domestic purposes.

Considering all these I wonder if it would be possible for us to really advance the idea to use pressurized air for fuel in vehicles especially trucks. If this drought continues we might have to start trucking water from desalination plants both for irrigation and consumption. Even if drought is not a problem in every part of the world but I think it is a good suggestion for the most badly affected ares.

We cannot sit and wait until everyone starts depending on a particular section of the world for food, that could be disastrous. There might be other more immediate ways. I guess water could also be pumped from these plants with wind powered or solar powered pumps. Just a suggestion.

An Ear In The Form Of The World Bank President at G8

Finally someone with a little ear at the top listens to the pleas of the people. Based on reports, the World Bank President Robert Zoellick called on the rich countries to revise their policies as it relates to the use of biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel. This appeal was made at the three day G8 summit being held in Japan. The issue of rising food prices and food shortages were some of the key issues to be addressed in the talks.

Biofuels compromise food production in many ways. First of the two main ones is that most biofuels are made from corn and other grains. The grains by themselves normally fill the roll of being used as direct food in their many processed forms for humans. In addition, it is used as feed for the animals which we depend on for food. Secondly in the case of non grain ethanol, the feedstock (raw material from which ethanol is made) is grown on land which could otherwise be used to plant other food items.

I think they should have realized this problem much earlier and reacted more swiftly. However this was not the case. We are here at a stage where most people having lost their jobs, have to go home and sit and watch while being plagued by hunger. But since people always say there is no use complaining about spilled milk, I take a more positive note. I hope the leaders heed the suggestions and act quickly so that more people can be relieved of the increased burden.

With the creation of new technology such as the new water for gas campaigns, I hope people will catch on quickly to it as well as the other technologies that will help to reduce the need for fossil fuels and biofuels. To run your car with water, it requires the use of a homemade water or hydrogen fuel cell that can be placed in cars, thus enabling vehicles to run on more water and less gas. Cool isn’t it.

Why were fuel efficiency ideas rejected?

It is not really clear to me why most fuel efficiency ideas were rejected in the past. It does not make sense. Surely there were no high gas prices five to ten years ago. I think at that time we could really afford to buy gas without suffering much. But there were a few hints and issues that could have told the auto companies that “hey we should probably increase the efficiency of our products”.

First there was smog. Smog is causing an increase in the number of respiratory illnesses around the major cities. People were being diagnosed every day. There were even those who died from the severity of damage to there lungs. That should have been reason enough. But if that was not enough there was also the issue of acid rain.

Acid rain is formed when the gas emissions containing sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and other emission products combine with rain water to form acids. The acid rain causes the deterioration of metals and other materials in building and such alike. It also threatens food supply in that it was armful to both fish, plants and other animals.

There was also the mention of an increase in global warming which has the effects of causing more hurricanes/typhoons, tornadoes, drought, flooding, melting of the polar ice caps and the complete destruction or wipe out of small islands.

Scientist also told of the possibility of oil shortages in the future because the amount of oil in wells had already passed the peak. They said danger was ahead and the best thing was to change out the fuel systems before it was too late and start using the alternatives.

Was that not reason enough for these companies to changes their ways and advance their systems to be more efficient and probably turn to the many suggested alternatives? Thankfully our independent scientist had not been deterred by disappointment. Most of them kept on researching even though their ideas were rejected. That is why in the near future they can probably do as Thomas Edison and so many other scientists did by selling their inventions on their own directly to the consumers. And let sleeping dogs lie.

5 Water For Gas Deals And Their Reviews

There are more than one offers on the market for the new water for gas technology since the rise of gas prices. How are they different and how do you decide which water fuel cell kit to buy? Here are a select five ordered from highest price to lowest price. They all give a guide on how to run your car on water but they are each packaged a bit differently with varying bonus offers.

1. Water 4 Gas

First on the list. They offer two books the first one “How To Save Fuel With Your Hydrogen On Demand System” and the other entitled “Modify Your Car To Save Gas Using Water”. These two books give you a comprehensive guide on how to install the hydrogen electrolysis system and make the best use of the technology. They provide good after sales service and not only that but they include tips on how you can benefit by helping other people install their own systems. Very detailed and shows how you can make a little extra cash helping others to install the theirs.

2. Run Your Car On Water

This is second on the list. Provides information on how to build the water fuel cell as before however they only provide you with the book showing how to install the system. It is much cheaper than choice number one. They also do not have the same detailed approach as choice number one. However this is a good choice if you only want the book on how to install the system.

3. Drive With Water Fuel

Third on the list. They provide basically the same service as choice number two however they offer a list of places in major cities where you can purchase the equipment required for the system. They also have good after sales service. This is good for you if you are not too familiar with the hardware stores in your area and you want the best deals on the required items.

4. Fuel Trips

Fourth on the list. They are a little different from the first three. They offer three products along with several bonuses. They give you a guide entitled “Making Your Own Water Fuel System” written and recorded from real life examples. Then there is the guide on how to make your own biodeisel in a cost effective manner entitled “The Essential Home Biodiesel Kit”. Thirdly there is the one entitled “Practical Everyday Fuel Savers” which is a guide providing proven energy saving tips. Did I mention it is cheaper than all the others and seems to offer more value. Good if you really want to get busy and save more.

5. Water Car Pro

Number five. They offer the same guide on how to convert water to gas however they also have several bonuses. They offer an e-mail newsletter course on how to install the hydrogen system along with two supplementary books one teaching ways you can reduce spendings at the gas pump and the other giving tips on how to buy your next car. The cost is relatively the same as option number four. Not much different from the rest however it is good if you are planning to buy a new car.

Note: These were highlighted because of the variation in the offers and how each benefits different consumers. It is important to choose the deal that best suits your needs. In the end what you want is to save money spent on gas.

High gas prices good or bad?

I wonder. Is the wave of high gas prices good or bad? Many people have been complaining so much about it. It is really digging into there savings and causing havoc with even food supply. I have seen where people are getting frustrated some are calling on the government and other relevant authorities for help.

There has been an increase in the number of searches on the internet and other sources for the best ways to conserve energy while not taking too much from personal comfort. Activities like carpooling, taking the public transit, you name it, have become popular for all trying to stretch their dollar as much as possible. It seems the general population has come to accept that they are having a problem and something must be done. In short people are really frustrated.

However in the world of science people are celebrating. Why? Humans like to be under pressure. Some feel they work better under these conditions. For them this could never be a more opportune time. Scientists and other creative individuals all around the world are beginning to push their genius over the edge. Everywhere money is being pumped into research, everyone trying to find the next profitable source of fuel. After all it is better to be late than never.

Some methods might seem absurd like using animal manure, rocks and even algae, all to produce renewable fuel. ugh!. There are the other processes of using ethanol made from corn, sunflower, sugarcane, marijuana and the list goes on. I might have to get into the lab pretty soon too. It is very good to see the creative people who have helped to mold this God given earth with there talents and creativity putting on their gear and answering their true calling. Hopefully leading us out of our peril. Prayers can never be too much.

To lighten this up a bit further take a look at this video I saw on You Tube from the profile of VizSource. I will leave the comments to you.
