Energy Efficiency Research What does energy efficiency really
mean? There is talk of: ·
Hydrogen as a
fuel ·
Fuel cells (as
electricity and heat) ·
Nuclear Power
(as electricity) ·
Solar Power (as
electricity) ·
Wind Power (as
electricity) ·
Hydro
Power (as electricity) ·
GeoThermal
Power HOWEVER, ask any energy economist what we can do to make
energy supply better, and the answer is to make everything we do with our
energy MORE EFFICIENT! ….Make
what we already have go further. As
an example: Considering an added 10% payload (of the
weight) of an average automobile (passengers, cargo, etc,) we get about 10
percent of the total energy available in a tank of gasoline to actually move
the wheels. 10% - TEN PERCENT! If we could increase that to a more efficient
number, we would all be able to get 200mpg in our cars. Is it possible? Yes.
It has been done by many people. I will explain why we don’t have these
kinds of technologies available to us on a different page (see here.) The average Miles per Gallon (MPG) of cars
25 years ago was 20mpg. Today…it is 21mpg! While I understand that this is a complex economics model
dealing with emissions laws, politics, vehicle size and customer demand, etc,
we still have only gained 1 mpg in a quarter of a CENTURY! This project is about: ·
Creating
innovative ways to make energy sources we already have work better and strive
for better performance. ·
Researching
technologies and ideas that have been documented and bring them to market for
our benefits. ·
Review and
experiment with work done by great historical minds which have not been made
available. (Tesla, Keely, etc.) ·
To think
outside the bounds of our current knowledge and use purposeful experiments to
gain empirical evidence about what we may NOT understand. (As well as de-bunk
“scientific” myths.) ·
Be creative and
invent ·
Help people
become more energy self-sufficient and less dependent on big corporations ·
Provide
information about competing technologies ·
Educate Another example: Every second of every day the sun is
shining, Why isn’t this technology with us now? Technical Research and Consulting Inc. |
