| MDI finds Indian love with TATA. Will finally manufacture theaircar! |

No, not hot air. Compressed. C-o-m-p-r-e-s-s-e-...
Woooooot! Well there you have it, once more, it pays to be persistent. At least that's how it's panning out for Guy Nègre who, as Green Car Congress just revealed has signed a manufacturing deal for his long awaited MDI Air Car. Yes! the silent car that gets about 125 Miles [at 70 MPH] on a tank of compressed air (and can fill back up in a couple of minutes). So Tata Motors, India's largest automotive manufacturer is going to start cranking these baddies out! And everybody says "Oh yeah!" ...Newly added, they are also going to be manufacturing a hybrid version that runs on gas and compressed air (gas to boost it at higher speeds, as well as to refill the air compression making road trips more doable).
And they don't just have the city cab version anymore, they got a sleek 21st century pickup truck now, and a family vehicle! I wonder if it is silent though, or if it sounds like a balloon slowly deflating (or a whoopee cushion?) Will have to wait and see, but so the question i am thinking is not so much when can i get my hands on a waycool EV, but more, in about 18 months which type of green car is going to be the one to get?? |

Florida Islander Invents Salt Water Fuel(?)
This article is a little high on claims and kinda light on details, but interesting none the less... it seems that a man in Florida was tinkering with some machines... from what i can tell he was playing around with some sort of Rife/Prioré/Clark frequency generators for cancer treatment (While that part may sound odd to you, check out those three links up there, it's really no different than an opera singer hitting the resonant frequency of crystal and shattering that -just a lot smaller...)
"Observing a bright blue flame, John Kanzius claims that it is salt water and salt water alone that is burning inside a test tube ....During his garage experiments Kanzius says he ignited plain old salt water with the same radio wave generator he was using in his cancer treatment." Wow. If this is true, the implications are huge!! read more: "Kanzius gave technicians at a Pennsylvania machine manufacturer a demonstration of his discovery. 'We saw it go up to 1500 degrees centigrade. That temperature, that's incredible,' exclaims a lab technician." And back shed or not-- this guy is not some backwoods invent, he's been using the flaming salt water to power a stirling engine, so obviously he knows a thing or two.... way to go Mr. Kanzius! This shows promise, and I hope to read about your name tree times for every one time i come across those stupid Steorn people :DD |

Still open for business, free energy inventor Michael Brady decides to kill his July 7th show. And he was going to show this machine off to the world today!!!! Of course, he says, it works, and he is into showing potential investors...
so go there, if you care and see his claims and boasts... I'm saying fagedaboutit ...I mean he cancelled the show not because people were trying to kill him (tho he claims that too) and of course not because it doesn't work. He cancelled the show because only 80 people bought the $200 tickets to see the thing.. and he needed 200 for some reason (where did that $16,000 go?) So all in all July 7th was going to be a big day in magnet mototrs and free energy, and its sadly turning into a same old same old.... sorry to inform y'all. Blech! |

Free energy inventor looking for investors
....and in other related news; look at this hot bridge i just bought on ebay! Sure i hope it is real, who doesn't? But I have to admit i'm skeptical---
Inventor Charles White is seeking funding for a revolutionary hydro-mechanical lever, which he has patented, which he claims could be used to generate clean power far in excess of the energy it consumes. it's basically a fancy hydrolic lever of sorts, and: "This engine would produce 100 units of power, while only five to 10 units would need to be diverted from a secondary source to get it going," Mr White said. "Since the engine doesn't need any fossil fuels, it doesn't emit any exhaust. It is pollution free.
Well, we can hope.... |

Over at ZPEnergy.com, Dr. Bernard Haish ((not a cook: Haish Ph.D. is an astrophysicist and author of over 130 scientific publications. He served as a scientific editor of the Astrophysical Journal for ten years, and was Principal Investigator on several NASA research projects)); on ZPE he writes; "My book "The God Theory: Universes, Zero-Point Fields and What's Behind It All" is now available at Amazon.com and other online bookstores." His new book discusses invisible multiverse s, deities and free energy machines. But still with a few tbsps of salt, halthy skepticism, research skills and some suspension of disbelief this may be a great read. Maybe Tom Hanks will star in it (but let's hope Ron Howard doesn't direct). |

| tidal power for the bay..... |
[May. 11th, 2006|04:02 am] |
The Highs and Lows of the Fundy make good volts
 The Bay of Fundy (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Maine) tides rise and fall higher and lower than anywhere on earth creating one of the richest marine ecosystems on the planet. Whales such as finback, minke, humpback and the extremely rare North Atlantic right whale congregate to feed their young, play and mate. But its that highest and lowest tide on the planet that got 8 parts of the bay listed in a landmark international study on tidal power by the Electric Power Research Institute, an independent, non-profit centre for electricity and environmental research based in California. |

D.I.Y. Stirling Engine
No secret lotsa peeps love these External Combustion Engines. Sure, they've been around for 190 years now (invented by the Reverend Robert Stirling in 1816), and sow of course, making a huge comeback in the California deserts 9in a parabolic kinda way). So what are they exactly? Well, they heat and cool sealed gases (like 'air') and generate lots of energy from that heat. And you can see for yourself for about $5, with this free handy do it yourself plan ((and bonus point to anyone who figures out a way to mod these plans with a solar over)).
So, you'll need three tin cans, three aluminum cans (one's gotta be a big-boy can), a (knitting) pin, a pvc elbow, some epoxy and a tube or 'RTV gasket maker' mmkay? Then follow the instructions
Have fun! |

Underwater Electric Kites (UEK)
They're just like wind turbines, gas turbines, and hydroelectric turbines (mostly like hydro). Except that they sit underwater, need no dams, and produce cheap abundant electricity. 24/7. Ananpolis Maryland's UEKUS has a novel way to generate electricity from rivers and tides, and they call it the UEK. Apparently these Low impact hydrokinetic turbines can generate energy at between 1.8 and 2.8 cents per kW-h(!)
This is the crew submerging a set of UEKs
Now Trevor Hughes, President and CFO of ATEC Power Inc., announced this week that he is commencing pre-commercial testing of the UEKs in the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia. So these things are going to spead quickly!! |

...the revolutionary "Joe Cell"
Well the claims are in the range of the too good to be true. But what does that mean really? It appears that people all over are making their very own Joe Cells and they appear to be working! What are they? Well I'm not all that sure. Apparently they run with no fuel. Using something similar to an electrolysis cell built with concentric stainless steel pipes, and uses implosion instead of explosion to propel a vehicle.... I know, sounds crazy. But people are replicating it, as of course it's open source and people are getting good results! So who knows? (Hey there's even a cool movie some guys show where his car apparently is running on a Joe Cell... Kewel! |
