Evopod – Floating Tidal Energy Device – Over 100 days operation time
Written by admin on August 2, 2009 – 3:52 pm -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evopod
http://www.oceanflowenergy.com
Tidal Energy device being developed in the UK. This video shows a tenth scale version of the device, which has been operating in Strangford Lough for the past year (June 2008 to July 2009).
The device is being designed to work in 60 meters water depth and in the fastest flow speeds, where the potential energy capture is greatest. However, as shown in this video, it is scalable to different depths and speeds.
Ocean Flow Energy Ltd were awarded a Shell Springboard Award (for the North of England and Scotland) in 2009.
Possible soundtracks

or
“Arvo Part – Fratres For Cello And Piano”

How to make a small windmill from a permanent magnet motor
Written by admin on August 2, 2009 – 3:52 pm -
Making a small windmill from garden decoration, and a motor. The larger the motor is
stronger wind is needed to turn the rotor, but also the output will be greater. Using a
rotor with viewer blades will let it spin faster but will also need more windpower. This rotor was easy to use. I found it at a dollar store.

WATER WHEELS ALL AROUND THE WORLD
Written by admin on May 11, 2009 – 10:12 am -
http://bbccrazydave.blogspot.com for a full list of blogs. You all ought to know about my obsession with water wheels by now and why oh why do you never hear of them being mentioned in the renewables debate??? You gotta ask yourselves what government objection to eperimenting with this technology is all about, you really do people is it because it would provide greater green energy than they have for their target reductions???????? So email the sustainability committe in your part of the world.

Anaconda Wave Energy Converter
Written by admin on May 11, 2009 – 10:12 am -
http://www.checkmateuk.com/seaenergy
As the bulge waves travel down the tube and arrive at the stern, the pressure in the chamber ahead of the power-take-off cycles above and below the tubes rest pressure. During the high pressure part of the cycle, water passes through a set of non-return valves into an accumulator where pressure is allowed to build up. A smoothed flow of water then passes from the accumulator into a conventional hydraulic turbine which drives an electrical generator. On exit from the turbine, the water is accepted into a low pressure accumulator and is then drawn through another set of non-return valves back into the main tube during the low pressure part of the bulge wave cycle.
Anaconda uses an entirely new way of harvesting wave energy.
• Wave energy occurs due to movements of water near the surface of the sea. Waves are formed by winds blowing over the water surface, which make the water particles adopt circular motions. This motion carries kinetic energy, the amount of which is determined by the speed and duration of the wind, the length of sea it blows over, the water depth, sea bed conditions and also interactions with the tides.
• Waves only occur in the volume of water closest to the water surface, whereas in tides, the entire water body moves from the surface to the sea bed
• In Tides, the energy is due to a net movement of water, but in Waves, the water acts as a carrier for energy, moving it in some directions but it does not undergo a net movement itself.
• Waves are formed by the wind the stronger the wind and the longer the distance over which it blows, the larger the waves and the more energy they carry. For that reason waves on the West Coast of the UK tend to contain more energy than the East Coast.
Essentially, it is a very large water filled distensible rubber tube floating just beneath the sea surface at right angles to the waves, with a power take off at the stern. As a wave passes the bulge tube is lifted with the surrounding .water and causes a bulge wave to be excited which passes down the tubes diameter like a pulse in an artery, gathering energy from the sea wave as it goes. Continuous energy gathering results from resonance between the bulge wave and the sea wave. Energy from the sea wave is stored in the rubber as it stretches. The bulge wave travels just in front of the wave rather like a surfer, picking up energy as it increases progressively in size. At the end of the tube the bulge wave energy surge drives a turbine in the power take off after the flow has been smoothed.

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).

TIDAL ENERGY RENEWABLE ENERGY NEW SYSTEMS REQUIRED
Written by admin on May 11, 2009 – 10:11 am -
http://bbccrazydave.blogspot.com for a full list of blogs. You know since shooting this video I’ve been thinking of systems that go underwater as the tide rises. Ones that lay on the ground and get covered but what with the tide coming in all the time they are bound to be moved. It may even make the installation of them easier for the contractors, than huge industrial size water wheels. There is someone out there, who knows how that could be done I am sure of it. Some bright spark who just knows how it can be harnessed for us all twice a day all along the english side all along the welsh side, cheap as chips tidal energy that lays on the beaches.
