The reality of this universe is one of immense power and
energy. The reality of this planet Earth is one of immense
harmony, love and beauty. It is we who are out of step when we
live in lack and with limitation.

Georgia Tech researchers have created a new combustor
(combustion chamber where fuel is burned to power an engine or
gas turbine) designed to burn fuel in a wide range of devices —
with next to no emission of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and carbon
monoxide (CO), two of the primary causes of air pollution. |

Battery Breakthrough? Monday, January
22, 2007 A Texas company says it
can make a new
ultracapacitor power system
to replace the
electrochemical batteries in
everything from cars to
laptops.
Finally some
more news from EEStor,
the incredibly secretive
hypercapacitor funded by
hotshot venture capitalists
Kleiner Perkins Caufield &
Byers.
New ceramic
battery may replace gas
engines
Texas
company is
working on
an "energy
storage"
device made
from
ceramics.
It's not
technically
a battery
because it
doesn't use
chemicals.
It can
allegedly
charge
within 5
minutes with
enough
energy to
move a car
500 miles on
about $9
worth of
electricity
-- about 45
cents a
gallon.

Raser
Technologies
Raser is Rapidly Deploying Cost-Effective Geothermal Power
- Instead of using electricity to turn a heat pump to cool a
liquid, Raser runs a warmed liquid through a heat pump to
generate electricity. With their rapid, low-cost deployment
capability, they could maximize the U.S. geothermal capacity
within ten years. |

The Johnson
Thermoelectric Energy Conversion System (JTEC) can achieve a
solar conversion efficiency rate that tops 60 percent with a new
solid-state heat engine. It uses temperature differences to
create pressure gradients that are used to force ions through a
membrane, instead of moving an axle or wheel. |

Austrian engineer,
Franz Zotlöterer, has constructed a low-head power plant
that makes use of the kinetic energy inherent in an artificially
induced vortex. The plant can be installed with a water drop as
little as 0.7 meters
- "The Water Vortex Power Plant Technology
is a worldwide first and unique technology
that clears water in rivers and produces
electricity." -- Franz Zotlöterer (Nov. 13,
2008)
