Zero-Point Recovery http://www.zero-pointrecovery.com A bridge to Zero-Point Energy Sat, 06 Mar 2010 23:14:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Zero-Point Recovery Systems. http://www.zero-pointrecovery.com/zero-point-energy/zero-point-recovery-systems http://www.zero-pointrecovery.com/zero-point-energy/zero-point-recovery-systems#comments Thu, 19 Mar 2009 22:28:51 +0000 admin http://www.zero-pointrecovery.com/?p=1209

The zero-point of energy is the lowest energy level a system can have. It is the ground state or the natural state of all things. In a perfect recovery system the energy above this zero-point level is returned to do useful work either within the system or for use in another system.

 

The simplest recovery systems extract energy from a system in the form of heat by raising the temperature of coolant water or other energy storage medium and then redirecting that heat for other use. More complex systems extract gasses and other combustible effluent and either use these gasses as fuel or combine them with other fuels to create an more efficient energy source. An example of this can be found in today’s high-tech smoke stack scrubbers that recycle combustible gasses back into the energy furnace.

 

There are natural sources of recoverable energy as well. For example the methane gas produced by landfill decomposition can be used to fire a furnace to power a steam turbine to produce energy. Wave action and tidal action can be used to generate power as can wind and geothermal energy. Electricity can also be generated directly from photo galvanic cells. These cells today are not efficient enough to create energy on a large scale but the science of solar cells is growing in leaps and bounds and, when combined with new battery technologies, these cells and batteries will become an important stepping stone to the development of new energy technologies.

 

Many scientists and entrepreneurs believe that the universe is a natural energy source. They believe that energy, zero-point energy, exists in every molecule and every inch of the universe including the vacuum of space. They believe that energy that holds electrons in orbit around atoms and the energy that creates molecular bonds of atoms in elements and compounds can be directed or redirected for use as an energy source. They believe that energy waves that exist even in the vacuum of space can be tapped as a viable energy source.

 

Atomic energy is one example of this zero-point energy theory but many believe that atomic energy is only the beginning of this technology. We have all heard of the claims of cold fusion and the relatively new science of magneto hydrodynamics where magnetically charged fluids are used to create a kind of magnetic jet engine.

 

There is work being done on electric generators that use motors which incorporate extremely strong permanent magnets to increase the efficiency of an electric motor to a point seemingly beyond unity, where the energy output appears greater than the energy input. Some of these theories and claims seem to defy the laws of physics and many scientists are skeptical about these claims. There are some who say that these new technologies are being suppressed by science and economic consortiums that fear this technology will change the economic and scientific balance of power.  

 

Many of these new technologies could some day become reality and replace our dependence on fossil fuels but long before any of that can happen we need to develop ways to conserve and recover the energy we currently use.

It may be that some of these new technologies can be used to hybrid with today’s common fuels to increase the efficiency of our current systems.

 

One example of this is the work being done to extract the hydrogen gas from water. The laws of energy conservation say that this cannot be done efficiently. That it will require more energy to separate the hydrogen from the water than the usable energy it creates. If standard electrolysis is used there is certainly a huge loss and the energy output is only a small fraction of the energy input making the process a total net loss but recent experiments with pulse frequency electrolysis are generating much greater yields of hydrogen gas. While this generation of hydrogen gas may never approach 100% efficiency it may create enough hydrogen gas to make feasible the creation of hybrid machines that increase the miles per gallon of our gasoline burning internal combustion engines to a point way beyond our current minimum mileage standards.

 

This website was created to explore new sources of energy as well as the effective use of current energy resources. We will also explore ways to bridge the gap between today’s energy resources and the resources of tomorrow. We will look at ways to use new technologies to create recovery systems that approach the zero-point energy levels of our current processes. We will recommend websites and other resources that we feel can add to your knowledge base as it relates to new energy technologies and energy resource recovery.

The amount of energy used in the home is at an all time high, and being consumed at an alarming rate. Many people use electricity more than they really need to, and the pay for it without complaining. Others think the cost of it is too high and they want to use it as little as possible. Either way, there are various alternative energy sources that you can use for your home. This can help slow down the depletion of natural resources and save you money.

As technology continues to change and move forward, consumers are being offered many alternatives. While many of the ideas that are being promoted today as alternative energy sources aren’t new, there are more ways to incorporate them than ever before. There is also a way to calculate the savings that these alternatives offer, and that is generally the motivating factor that causes people to move forward with implementing them.

You may have discovered windmills popping up in various locations, and that is due to the fact that wind energy is a great alternative to offering you power instead of using electricity. The windmill has come a long way from the days when it was used to grind up grain. They are more appreciated as a source of energy than anything else.

The energy from the sun, called solar energy, is a great alternative to electricity. You can easily install solar panels on your roof to collect energy. You will only use electricity as a back up source when all of the energy has been used up. The energy from a solar source is able to heat your home, dry your clothes, and run various household appliances. Many people are able to use solar power to supply all the energy they need for their entire home.

Of course this is a different type of solar energy than our parents used when they hung clothes outside on the line to dry. Yet the introduction of the clothes dryer is just one more device that uses up electricity.

Water can also be a valuable alternative source of energy. Hydropower is the ability to use water currents to operate generators. Hydropower is another concept that goes back to the era of grinding up grains into flour.

One type of alternative energy source that you may not be aware of is biogas. This is the process of decomposition of various materials. This is a great way to save money on the cost of heating your home, especially if you live in a cold weather area.

There are plenty of different resources for you to consider when it comes to alternative energy sources. They are a great way to save the resource of electricity as well as to save money on the cost of your energy sources. Take the time to find the one that is the most practical and cost effective for your home. Many people don’t live where they can install a windmill but they do live where the sun shines all day long.

We all need to do our part to make the environment cleaner, and you can do yours by choosing an alternative energy source. It is important for us to keep as many of the natural resources for future generations as possible. Once you compare the price of installing the alternative energy source to the amount of money you will save, you will see why it is a win/win situation for you personally and for the entire environment.

Does this mean that zero-point energy flows in a certain direction and if this is the case why can’t it be sensed?

I’m not sure I entirely understand your question. The Casimir effect is due to the quantum-mechanical phenomenon that even at absolute zero, there is a zero-point energy which shows up as an electromagnetic field. So the two plates attract each other, which can be measured, but only with exceedingly sensitive experiments. You can think of the attraction as virtual particles, but there is no preferred direction, each plate attracts the other. Hope that helps.

Mastering Physics problem? http://www.zero-pointrecovery.com/solar-energy/what-total-solar-cell-area-would-you-need-to-provide-energy-needs-mastering-physics-problem http://www.zero-pointrecovery.com/solar-energy/what-total-solar-cell-area-would-you-need-to-provide-energy-needs-mastering-physics-problem#comments Fri, 19 Feb 2010 11:02:03 +0000 admin http://www.zero-pointrecovery.com/solar-energy/what-total-solar-cell-area-would-you-need-to-provide-energy-needs-mastering-physics-problem Solar cells convert the energy of incoming light to electric energy; a good quality cell operates at an efficiency of 15%. Each person in the United States uses energy (for lighting, heating, transportation, etc.) at an average rate of 11 kilowatts . Although sunlight varies with season and time of day, solar energy falls on the United States at an average intensity of 200 W/m^2.

Assuming you live in an average location, what total solar-cell area would you need to provide all of your energy needs with energy from the sun?

The correct rate is 11kWhr per day. 11kw would be a horrendous amount of power.(maybe Al Gore uses it at this rate)

I will calc it at your rate for problem sake. (this is not real life by the way, there are lots more variables, length of day, etc)

200W/m^2 * 15% = 30w/meter

11kw / 30w/meter = 366m^2

On a side note I think mastering physics is a crappy program, made for lazy physics teacher that dont ever care about application of knowledge.

Will the new source energy be free? http://www.zero-pointrecovery.com/new-energy-sources/in-the-future-will-the-use-of-electricity-be-nearly-gone-will-the-new-source-energy-be-free http://www.zero-pointrecovery.com/new-energy-sources/in-the-future-will-the-use-of-electricity-be-nearly-gone-will-the-new-source-energy-be-free#comments Fri, 19 Feb 2010 11:01:43 +0000 admin http://www.zero-pointrecovery.com/new-energy-sources/in-the-future-will-the-use-of-electricity-be-nearly-gone-will-the-new-source-energy-be-free Ovens, water heaters, TV’s, computers, phones and all electronics require electricity. In the future, ovens won’t use electricity; instead, they will use other abundant sources of energy. The energy might be at no cost.

Will the source of energy be free unlike electricity from PG&E? If not, then why?

I’m sorry to sound condescending, but I’m not sure you understand electricity. Electricity is a form of energy. What I think you’re trying to ask is whether there will be a new way to generate electricity. The answer is probably yes.

We already have and use many ways to generate energy. Some newer examples are nuclear, hydroelectric, wind, and solar energy. They all generate electricity, and the only difference in the electricity they produce is the amount that can be made.

To answer your question, I predict that we are headed towards a cheaper, environmentally friendlier set of ways to get our electricity. Already, solar panels in houses and small ways to generate and even save one’s own electricity are in use in some houses. Some homes actually get paychecks from energy companies that they are connected to via grid, because they are making more electricity than they need, and the runoff goes into the energy grid. In the future, technologies will probably make this more common and easy. It may not be totally free, but it will be overall better.

Hope this helps.

Yes there are ways to strip off oxygen from water, aluminum gallium alloy or you can take aluminum, lye and water mixed together and the reaction will give off hydrogen, now here’s the but, it takes more engery to recover the aluminum or make the aluminum than you get back. You would be money ahead just to sell the aluminum and buy gasoline.

There are some test cars that use a aluminum gallium alloy add water and you get hydrogen, but it cost more to recover the aluminum and gllium then the price gasoline.

If you could come up with a cheap enviormently friendly was to recover the aluminum then you might have something there.

You could use electrolysis to break water apart, but again you would be far better oft charging a set of batteries and using them instead of breaking water apart.

Trust me if it was cheaper than gasoline we’d be using it already.

EDIT

The plans from the guy above won’t work, that system can’t produce enough hydrogen to run a car, not hard to prove by the way, basically its the HHO con.

Aren’t both the change in gibbs free energy of the system when reactants are converted completely, or 100 %, to products? Why does the change in gibbs free energy of the reaction change as the reactioin progresses, but the standard gibbs free energy change is the same no matter what.

I need a qualitative explanation more than a quantitative one. Thanks!

However, if we continue to tie our hands while other countries maximize their energy resources, aren’t we signing our own death warrant?

We have oil that the government won’t let us get to…
We have areas to put windmill farms and they are being blocked.
We have cleaner burning coal that we are not allowed to extract….
Natural gas…..
Oil Shale….
Can we go on…?

I know that some of these things can’t be harvested right now…and may take years. But if we go by that thinking, nothing we do now is going to help the environment, either…so why bother?

Drill, explore, research…and do so responsibly.

Yes we should. However, the Environmentalist Wacko’s don’t agree. They want us to go ‘cold turkey’ and stop using fossil fuels today. And, magically,create all the alternatives they like.

Part of their plan is to force this to happen. That is why they block lots of stuff.
