This Week in Free Energy

Susan
Imagine a world in which each home has its own power generator that obtains its energy in such a way that no fuel has to be added. Imagine every vehicle being able to run without ever stopping for fuel. Imagine each appliance having its own power source that never has to be recharged. That is the world of the future. Join with us as we track our progress toward such a world.

This Week in Free Energy; Dec. 5, 2004: exploring and reporting on energy systems that tap into inexhaustible, ubiquitous, and clean sources of energy generation, such as solar, wind, tide, and geothermal, but also exploring those non-conventional avenues such as zero point energy, cold fusion, and magnetic motors.

With us today for our report is Sterling Allan.

Sterling, what do you have for us this week?

Sterling
Hi James.

The big news this week was that the U.S. Department of Energy released its report on Cold Fusion, after reviewing it anew after 15 years of scorn. While the report did not give an outright endorsement, about half of the reviewers did say that Cold Fusion deserves another look. (ref) Even the prestigious journal Nature weighed in on the story, breaking its long protest of silence on the matter. (ref) The main contention is that Cold Fusion does not seem to be able to produce a substantial output of energy. (ref) Probably the best thing to come from this will be that the pall over the mere mention of cold fusion is now lifting, which will enable true science to get back in the driver's seat where unfair politics have ruled for too long.

In other news, we've had progress on our Bowman magnetic motor project. A group with our replication project has been working with an friend of the late Lee Bowman, to bring our drawings into alignment with the more advanced motor that Bowman had running before he died. They are in process of building a prototype. (ref)

Progress is being made on the Bedini Simplified School Girl motor and battery energizer project. Several new replications have been made, and some of the data continues to be encouraging -- definitely interesting -- though not necessarily proving yet that some kind external energy is coming into the system. I am still hopeful that we will yet achieve that milestone. (ref) (ref) (ref)

One of the participants in that project has commenced an adjunct project with our academy to begin a study group. Their purpose will be to digest Tom Bearden's book: "Energy from the Vacuum." (ref)

James
Is that something that anyone can join?

Sterling
Certainly, though the book is a bit pricey at $75.00

James
That's really not too bad -- quite typical for a specialty topic. College students wouldn't bat an eye at a text book at that price.

Congratulations on the new course project.

Sterling
Thank you, Jim. We have big dreams for PES Network, and are anxious to get our funding so we can really roll up our sleeves.

James
That would be great! What else do you have for us this week.

A group in Salt Lake City has come up with a new technique that could produce pure hydrogen from water far more efficiently than conventional methods. It involves the use of advanced super high temperature nuclear reactors. (ref)
The company, ZonneWater, is reinventing the solar still, in a process that produces fresh water from salt or waste water using solar energy. (ref)
The world's fastest glacier, located in Greenland, doubled its speed of ice flow between 1997 and 2003, providing yet further scientific evidence of global warming. (ref)
Indiana University Bloomington geologist Chen Zhu is trying to determine if - and how - a new strategy known as "carbon sequestration" can work, to effectively gobble up the excess carbon produced by man. (ref)
The company, BioMaxx Systems Inc, converts cellulosic biomass, that is currently being abandoned or land filled, into ethanol and other valuable co-products. (ref)
With nearly 8,000 MW of total installed systems, Spain now surpasses the United States in wind energy generation. (ref)
Costa Rica has a solar coffee-drying facility (ref)
Helium 3, rare on the earth but abundant on the moon, may prove to be a feasible energy source for earth with NASA's Moon-Mars initiative. (ref)
Scientists have designed a single, compact device that can both convert solar energy to electricity and stores it. (ref)
New York State receives high green energy marks for its system of low impact hydro projects that take into consideration such things as river flows, water quality, fish passage and protection, watershed health, and endangered species protection. (ref)
Cold fusion was on HBO this week in their airing of the 1997 hit movie, The Saint, in which Val Kilmer plays master of disguise Simon Templar, hired by the Russians to steal a formula for cold fusion from a distractingly beautiful physicist, played by Elisabeth Shue. (purchase)
A plant in Pennsylvania expected to be operational by the end of next year will convert methane gas from a landfill into electricity -- 2.6 MW. (ref)
A facility in Antarctica generates hydrogen from wind power. (ref)
