Magnets For EnergyGulf Oil Spill Media Blackout
Written by admin on August 29, 2010 – 8:32 pm -
We have a crisis on our hands and we need to let everybody know what is really going on in the Gulf. It is a slow process, with the sickness starting among us, “Gulf Oil Syndrome”. The time is now to prepare.

Clean Energy – Wind vs Coal
Written by admin on May 11, 2009 – 10:11 am -
Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2009/04/28/Clean_Coal_Myth_or_Reality
Sierra Club’s Bruce Nilles argues for complete replacement of outdated coal power plants while ‘clean coal’ advocates Joe Lucas and Ray Lane challenge him, arguing that wind and coal are complimentary. “There’s no such thing as a perfect energy source,” says Lucas.

Is clean coal hope for the future, or just misleading marketing jargon? Panelists weigh in on the possibilities and opportunities.
Coal-fired power plants are the largest U.S. emitters of CO2 and human-generated mercury, yet our nation is poised to build many new coal plants in the future. Panelists discuss new technologies for carbon capture and storage and IGCC, and the implications of energy policy decisions on the health of our economy and our planet. – Commonwealth Club of California
Bruce Nilles joined the Sierra Club in 2002 and currently directs its National Coal Campaign, the largest component of Sierra Club’s new Climate Recovery Campaign. The national coal campaign is working to reduce America’s over reliance on coal, slash coal’s contribution to global warming and other pollution woes, end destructive mining, and secure massive investments in clean energy alternatives. Bruce previously worked as a staff attorney for Earthjustice’s San Francisco office, and during the Clinton Administration as Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General for the U.S. Department of Justice’s Environment and Natural Resources Division in Washington D.C. He received his J.D. and B.S. degrees from the University of Wisconsin.
Ray Lane is a Managing Partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, focused on helping entrepreneurs with technological and market insight, organizational development, team building, selling and managing growth. Since joining KPCB, Ray has sponsored several investments for the firm in enterprise and consumer technology, as well as clean and alternative energy. These companies include Ausra (solar concentrator), GreatPoint Energy (coal to gas conversion), Fisker Automotive (plug-in hybrid car), Th!nk NA (electric car), Luca Technologies (biologically enhanced gas recovery from fossilized hydrocarbons), Xsigo Systems (virtual I/O switch for datacenters), SpikeSource (open source platform for integration and testing), MEVIO (social media network), Virsa (compliance for large enterprises) and Elance (marketplace for services). He also serves on the board of Quest Software.
Joe Lucas is the Vice President of the Americans for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE).

Nuclear vs. Renewable: Drawbacks?
Written by admin on March 2, 2009 – 6:08 pm -
A video comparing nuclear energy to renewable energy, and comparing the various practical drawbacks to implementing these technologies on a large scale. I hope it’s clear why I say there is no silver bullet, and why we can’t rely on any single technology–nuclear OR renewable–for our energy generation.
I also added a fun little segment at the end for a particular Youtube user–you know who you are.

ATLL – Llobregat Basin Desalination Plant
Written by admin on March 2, 2009 – 6:08 pm -
To guarantee supply of fresh water to the region, Aigues Ter Llobragat (ATLL) has constructed the Llobregat Desalination Plant. Located in the municipality of El Prat De Llobregat, Catalonia, Spain; the plant will produce 200 million liters/day (53 million gallons/day) and utilizes ERI®’s PX® Technology to reduce energy consumption. This project is carried out with the utmost respect for environmental considerations and requirements.

Infinite and clean energy resources – Artificial Sun
Written by admin on February 16, 2009 – 5:45 pm -
KSTAR (Korean Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) celebrated of the completion of the framework of an ‘Artificial Sun’ on Jan.11.2007
The KSTAR is a magnetic fusion device being built at the Korea Basic Science Institute in Daejon, South Korea. It is intended to study aspects of magnetic fusion energy which will be pertinent to the ITER fusion project as part of that country’s contribution to the international ITER effort. The project was approved in 1995 but construction was delayed by the East Asian financial crisis which weakened the South Korean economy considerably; however the project is now back on track and construction is expected to be completed in August 2007. Commissioning will begin once construction is completed, and first plasma is expected in early 2008.
KSTAR will be one of the first research tokamaks in the world to feature fully superconducting magnets, which again will be of great relevance to ITER as this will also use SC magnets. The KSTAR magnet system consists of 16 niobium-tin direct current toroidal field magnets, 10 niobium-tin alternating current poloidal field magnets and 4 niobium-titanium alternating current poloidal field magnets. It is planned that the reactor will study plasma pulses of up to 20 seconds duration until 2011, when it will be upgraded to study pulses of up to 300 seconds duration. The reactor vessel will have a major radius of 1.8 m, a minor radius of 0.5 m, a maximum toroidal field strength of 3.5 teslas, and a maximum plasma current of 2 megaamperes. As with other tokamaks, heating and current drive will be initiated using neutral beam injection, ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH), RF heating and electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH). Initial heating power will be 8 megawatts from neutral beam injection upgradeable to 24 MW, 6 MW from ICRH upgradeable to 12 MW, and at present undetermined heating power from ECRH and RF heating. The experiment will use both hydrogen and deuterium fuels but not the deuterium-tritium mix which will be studied in ITER.

Alternative Energy: Wave-Powered Ocean Energy Technology
Written by admin on February 14, 2009 – 6:56 pm -
The ocean is a source of two significant sustainable forms of energy: thermal energy associated with the sun’s heat absorbed by the ocean, and mechanical energy associated with the waves, currents and tides. Since the oceans cover more than 71% of the earth’s surface, these forms of energy represent the largest solar collectors and retainers of the sun’s vast energy that reach the earth’s surface. This project is being developed by Florida Atlantic University’s Center of Excellence in Ocean Energy Technology http://coet.fau.edu/
