Just some interesting random shit....
Google " zero point energy " and spend an hour reading...
E=MC2 is one of the least understood equations ever.. just think of the "=" sign as being the bridge that relates how much energy is released if you turn matter into pure energy, it speaks as to how much energy is released if you unbind the atomic structure of matter. a glass of water has enough potential energy to run Toronto for a week.
An atomic bomb actually blows itself out before it really gets going, it operates at less than 1% efficiency.
A nuclear reactor is just an a bomb that is going off rrreeaaallll slow. It doesn't create electricity, it just makes heat to make steam to spin a turbine that makes electricity..
There is no free lunch, the US patent office will not accept applications for anything that proposes that it will create more energy than it consumes.
Sure, you could use a solar panel to make electricity to separate H2O into hydrogen and oxygen ( a 9 volt battery and two pennies is all you need to see that in action), release the oxygen, compress the hydrogen, burn it in your car and have nothing but water vapour come out the tailpipe as a result of the combustion, another solar panel to power the compressor and a hydrogen storage unit in the car.. or use the hydrogen in a hydrogen conversion power cell to get electricity to run an electric car but the infrastructure to be able to fill up away from home doesn't exist....
Why does the US have heavy tarrifs on imported ethanol? Ethanol from corn is a net loss of energy, it costs more energy to make it than it produces. In Brazil, sugar cane grows year round, produces more ethanol energy than it takes to make, yet is tarrifed as an import into the united states. The cost of pork has rissen because their feed ( corn ) is being used, to make ethanol. The percentage of ethanol in gasoline in the US is a legislated requirement... do you think it was lobbied by the people who grow corn??
The cost of energy consumption usually includes infrastructure, look at your hydro bill, a three hundred dollar bill may only contain a hundred bucks in hydro itself, the rest was distribution, taxes and the "debt retirement"..
Cars will run on water, just not well.... there's no way to "crack" water into hydrogen and oxygen and combust them efficiently, hydrogen also presents some difficult problems for long term use as a fuel source.
Cold fusion is still a lllooonnngg way off into the future.
We're still waiting for superconducters that will work at room temperature..
Less than thirty percent of fuel burned in a car makes it move forward, the rest is heat,.... why does no vehicle have a system to use the heat that is wasted? Boil the water with the engine, let it run a small turbine to make electricity, condense the steam to water and boil it again... it's how a steam engine worked?, Isn't it?... Not the part about electricity, the part about the change of state from steam to water. One gram, ( one cc ) of water gives over 1800 ccs of steam... shouldn't a radiator's job be to convert the steam back to water to be boiled again?
Why do we dump garbage? Everywhere else in the civilized world, they burn it cleanly for electricity or steam based heat for urban areas..
Why is Canada one of the world's leading exporters of modular pre fabricated energy efficient homes, yet the lowest per capita consumer of the same product? Why are virtually all new homes " stick built'?
OK.. I'm done... rant over..
