Free Energy

I would think that number two would be a safe bet.

I'm sure it wouldn't take very long to discover a free and renewable energy source if it were a united goal. As for now though, it seems that free energy will never be a goal or possibility. Food and energy are the infrastructure of every nations economy. If you were to take these two things away without replacing them with something else, the worlds economy would collapse and the main focus may return to land, which would most likely lead to the most powerful nations conquering each other for their land. Even if there were a free source of energy, it would be taxed.

If you look at what, Tesla (one man) was able to accomplish in his primitive era, free energy seems to be more than just a dream.

We know of lots of plentiful zero-cost sources of energy in our environment they're just difficult to get access to and the power you get out has to be transported by wire and stored somehow. People tend to underestimate just how miraculous oil is, it's like energy in a can.

Poop?

Your post reminded me of replicators. Those would solve world hunger, man. WORLD HUNGER! Now we need to get crackin' on those Heisenberg compensator. hmm

Now, I would think that it would take a lot of energy to arrange sub-atomic particles on such a "massive" scale...so we would need a massive power source.

This brings us back to energy, again. We'd have to story up a shit-load of energy.

Yeah, i suppose it's just a matter of harnessing those energy sources into a mass battery and finding a practical way of delivering it. I've recently been studying the life and inventions of Nikola Tesla. I had seen a documentary on his life on the Discovery Channel. Teslas ultimate goal had always been discovering a way to supply free energy. Even though it seems that he had succeeded the later focus of the show tilted towards modern day scientists who are attempting the same goal. This brought up the topic of Magnetism and it's potential. I had always heard of the potential of magnetism but after seeing that a group of Swiss scientists were success in creating a turbine powered solely by magnets i started a bit of lazy reading on magnetism. The more i research the possibilities the more surprised i become.

I don't think World hunger can ever be solved for the simple reason that the problem isn't a lack of food resources but rather governmental and economical.

Hey..,what ever happened with all that Cold Fusion hoopla? I remember reading this old book on, Cold Fusion and apparently, just a few cups of top water would be more than enough to power a city for a month. That sounded like a good prospect to investigate. 😂

If you fall for one of these at best you will lose thousands of dollars; at worst you will lose your life. These usually start with an email from a bank official or the relative of a recently deceased African president or a government minister informing you that they have new york escort access to millions of dollars but need your help to get the money out of the country. The end result is that when the deal is threatened you will new york asian escort be asked for money to secure the release of the funds. Do not new york escorts under any circumstances reply to these letters, people have been murdered while following up with these scams.PhishingPhishing scams can be very elaborate, scammers send out emails to millions of internet addresses purporting to be from a financial institution, and requiring you to log in and new york asian escorts confirm your details. The email looks authentic and contains a link that you need to

No free energy there...

why can we use some kind of sewer power processing poop energy plant?

NIMBY, also poop has low energy content.

the sheer amount should more then make up for it..

besides that is not what albert eistiens formula says/./

Maybe.

You can get energy from poop, of course:
http://www.energyquest.ca.gov/story/chapter10_zoo_poop/index.html

If you look at that they say that the 1000 pounds of waste they get from six elephants is not enough to cover the zoo's costs.

An optimistic estimate says that 1 ton (twelve elephant days) of poop gets you as much energy as just 50 gallons of petrol. That comes to 16,000,000 barrels equivalent per year for the US.

In 2007 the country used that much oil in 23 hours.
http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/ene_oil_con-energy-oil-consumption

That's an imperfect approximation since oil goes into a lot of stuff besides energy production like you propose. Let's look at it another way.

1 ton heats a middle class home for 2 weeks (Nat Geo article). That means 26 tons heats the home for a year. You can heat 400000 homes a year on nothing but poop. That's about 0.12% of the US population.

It's not going to solve our problems but if cities start using it as an additional energy source it could be very helpful, assuming such an action causes research into more efficient processes.

That's the mass-energy of poop, not a gauge of its realistic energy density/caloric content.

pfff.. a nuclear reaction from converting the waste would more then power the city for a couple of months 😖hifty:

besides we dont need to fully convert but just help lower energy cost and price of other fuels as well as complete reliance..

finding other methods would help.. its like the same as installing a wind mill in your back yard... it may not always work but it could help with the bills and make a noticeable difference in once wallet each yr

yeah, but don't you go to bed every night, worrying about that windmill malfunctioning and slamming right into your bed room. ?

I would like to have a solar-array on a large plot of land with little robots that would clean and maintain them shits. That'd be nice...a great way to retire, no doubt. (Cause you could sell the energy back into the grid.)

Are these robots you speak of a squad of R2D2s? Or are they more like minicons (transformer)?

They are between minicons and an Astromechs.
