How to Save the Planet – Short Film (2010)
Posted by Admin in Reduce Energy Usage on November 16th, 2010
A tongue-in-cheek, super hero themed short film to promote green living. This particular video encourages a reduction in energy consumption to help combat global warming.
The video, starring Sam Illingworth, was used as part of a film making course for young people. It was shot in one day with a Canon XL2 and edited in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3.
Key words:
global, warming, climate, change, green, living, super, hero, reduce, energy, consumption, co2, emissions, carbon, footprint, lower, save, planet, earth, short, film, video, promote, canon xl2, premiere

Wind Power
Posted by Admin in Home Wind Power on July 18th, 2010
Each wind turbine in the wind park near Freiburg cost 2 million Euros. Six of these 1.8 MWh wind turbines were installed at a cost of 13 million Euros. Out of this total individuals invested in a share of the operating company in order to provide 4.6 million in capital. Five hundred and twenty people invested a minimum of 3,000 Euros. Each 3,000 Euros generates 12,000 kWh. Each investor gets money back over twenty years from2003 to 2023. Over this time each investor gets 280% of their money back. To start with each investor gets 3% in the first year, then 5% the next year until in the last year the investor gets 20%.
The tower is 98 metres height. On the top is is the 100 tonne generator. The tower was made of concrete since it is too difficult to bring steel up the mountain. The concrete tower was constructed over about three weeks. Unlike the first generation of wind turbines this new generation has no gear. The blades turn 22 times per minute transforming DC to AC.
95% of German wind turbines are privately financed. People invest because they get money back. The federal subsidy makes it a good investment. Normal electricity has a once cent per kilowatt additional cost added so that wind and other renewable’s can be purchased at a premium. Wind gets paid a couple cents more than conventional power. Solar gets paid many times more.

1 Megawatt Fuel Cell Power Plant
Posted by Admin in Alternate Fuels on May 20th, 2010
This is a video of a 1 megawatt Fuel Cell Power Plant at California State University, Northridge, in Los Angeles, CA. The power plant has a reformer that separates hydrogen from natural gas and then feeds the hydrogen into a fuel cell, generating electricity. The plant also recovers the heat generated and uses it for domestic heating on campus. In the future, some of the carbon emitted will be sequestered in a sub-tropical rainforest that is under construction.
While at present this power plant still uses fossil fuels (the natural gas is needed in order to extract the hydrogen from it), in the future the hydrogen will be generated either from landfill gas, or else it will be electrolyzed using wind, solar, geothermal, wave or hydroelectric energy. What is most important and exciting about this plant is the fact that it is using fuel cells–touted to be the future of electricity generation–today, and they are working seamlessly on a large scale.

Next Generation of Cheap Solar Cells
Posted by Admin in Solar Energy Panels on May 4th, 2010
****Since all the comments seem to be either 100% positive or 100% negative about this solar technology i would like to clear up some some misconceptions. First of all I’d imagine that takes years to set up the the precision equipment for 2 of the largest solar panel manufacturing plants in the world and be able to print solar photo cells as fast as newspaper. After the plant was completed in 2007 the first focus was on commercial uses and their first costumers where municipal utility companies. This sounds to me like a good business tactic to help you establish a successful business from the start. Next they started offering it to electrical contractors as part of a beta testing process so they can work out the kinks that arise from scaling down their panels from large commercial ones to the ones that you can use on your house. That is where were at today. After the beta testing they will start offering them to the general public. Their website even has a place to enter your email address to be notified when this technology will be available to you the home owner. Its a process and that apparently some people out there believe happens over night. This company immediately got more financial backing then needed. Google is one of the biggest investors so I believe its all legitimate. There are two benefits from the use of alternative energy. It will save you money but also it means that energy produced is done so with out creating pollution. This is good for everybody. Even though the technology isn’t yet available for you to install on your home to help save money the fact that utility companies use it to create energy still means means less pollution for us all. . ***** New technology uses cheaper materials instead of expensive silicon crystals. These new solar cells are projected to cost 1/10th of what the more expensive silicon cells cost.

Posted by Admin in Alternate Fuels on March 29th, 2010
Congratulations! You have just found a way to own a water-to-energy converter for your car. Water4Gas is one of the most PRACTICAL free-energy devices, marked by extraordinary simplicity and effectiveness. You cannot get anything, anywhere near this good, for twice the price.
We offer devices that use a little electricity out of your car’s battery, to separate water into a gas called HHO (2 Hydrogen + 1 Oxygen). HHO, also called Brown’s Gas or Hydroxy, burns beautifully and provides TONS of energy – while the end product is just WATER! Mobile Magazine says HHO provides the atomic power of Hydrogen, while maintaining the chemical stability of water.
DID YOU KNOW: Pound for pound HHO GAS IS 3 TIMES MORE POTENT THAN GASOLINE!!! HHO is a fast growing trend for boosting performance and MPG.
We took a 90-year-old suppressed technology, and
We have SIMPLIFIED it.
You can have affordable yet very effective devices, right now.
You have our permission to replicate all our devices – we’ll even show you how!
Easy to install & maintain.
Good for carb/fuel injection, gas or even diesel. Old and new cars, light trucks, boats and more.
THIS IS NOT 100% WATER! Vaporiser shown saves gas, boosts power, prevents smog. More details from these sites:

NOW you can run your car on water, supplemental to gasoline, to increase your car’s fuel efficiency and reduce your fuel costs significantly.
Works on gas or diesel powered cars, vans, trucks, and SUVs. (Not tested on hybrids)
Your car will become at least 40% more fuel efficient and produce cleaner emissions.
Convert your car for the lowest price as little as under $50. Similar conversion kits cost up to $1000 and up!
Works with plain tap water. No need for distilled water or special water additives!
We’ve simplified the process. The steps are easy, and the materials are affordable.
Our easy conversion guide will show you how to use electricity from your car’s battery to separate water into a gas called HHO (2 Hydrogen + 1 Oxygen). HHO, also called Brown’s Gas or Hydroxy, burns smoothly and provides significant energy – while the end product is just H2O! HHO provides the atomic power of Hydrogen, while maintaining the stability of water.
Water4Gas technology available now worldwide. Is It Possible to Run Your Car on Water? YES!

These are the best guides I’ve come across if you want to use HHO or BIODIESEL for your vehicle or around the home. They all come with written guarantees. With energy prices rising, hydrogen fuel cells are today the best way to go. Hydrogen fuel cell cars (cars running on water) are becoming more and more common. Why use gas when water will do?
The top guides to hydrogen fuel conversion. Click on any of them to find out more. Some may sound a bit lame, but they are all excellent. That’s my promise. They all also offer 100% money-back guarantees, no questions asked, so there’s nothing to lose

Just so you know, there’s nothing “magical” about the FuelTrips System even though it may seem like it. Sure, it could be responsible for increasing your fuel economy up to 50% and it could show you how to make your own fuel for .75 cents per gallon.
And while that may seem amazing, you should consider this: You are not going to save a dime on fuel if you sit there and do nothing. The oil companies have bet billions that you won’t. Don’t hold your breath waiting for someone else to solve your personal fuel economy problems …it up to you and I to get going. To learn more “get going” to:
