New Solar Power Discovery

MIT Researchers have discovered a way to store energy from sunlight, potentially revolutionizing solar power. The inexpensive and simple new process is carried out by natural material, and is loosely based on photosynthesis, whereby solar energy splits water into its elements, hydrogen and oxygen. These gases are stored and then recombined in a fuel cell to produce electricity whenever they are needed, whether the sun is shining or not.

Overunity Technologies : A Brief Introduction

Unlike the conventional energy systems in use today, "overunity" refers to technologies of closed systems that produce more energy than they require to operate.

Overunity generation involves harnessing the plentiful energy in the space around us, and the technologies that can be developed for harnessing this energy is documented in open literature. Many such breakthroughs have been published within the last seven years in books by Bearden, Valone and Manning and Garbon. There are at least a dozen types of technologies that could be developed based on overunity systems. These include the use of electromagnetics, oscillated power, and electrostatic combustion, among others.

These concepts are not new, some being one hundred years old, but their development has been systematically suppressed, bought-out and shelved, or otherwise kept from being further developed. The extraction of limitless electromagnetic energy has been identified since 1902, this extraction being powerful enough to run all needed energy in industry, transportation and homes. 

While mainstream media has no problem discussing "clean coal" or nuclear energy, where is the discussion on the need to develop truly alternative, clean, limitless energy? If wind, sun and water energy can only go so far, we must support the research of these technologies so that their potential can be teste

U.S. voters can ask their representatives to support the R&D of such energy development via the Orion Project.

Clean Coal? Really?

You may have heard much about "clean coal" recently, especially in recent U.S. political talks. I don't know about you, but when I think of coal, I think of dusty black chalk all over the place; something about "clean coal" just intuitively sounds like an oxymoron. As it turns out, this is exactly the case. Don't be fooled.

Big Oil explains energy demands ahead. Hmm....

Exxon Mobile's micro site aims to educate consumers about energy "developments"...  but the focus remains raiding the earth for oil and gas. Note the projections for increased demand. However, one white paper posted acknowledges the use of electromagnetics, albeit only as a method to explore the land for hydrocarbon. 

Energy from the Vacuum

Question:

Where does all electromagnetic (EM) field energy and all EM potential energy come from in the first place?

Answer:

From the vacuum all around us.

Note: A Nobel prize was awarded in 1957 for substantiating the extraction process.

An excerpt, from the book or DVD, Energy From the Vacuum:

"A cubic centimeter of empty space around us (about the tip of one's little finger in volume) has so much raw energy in it that, if condensed into matter, there would be more matter than is observable in the universe through the largest telescope!  So even a tiny efficiency of tapping could and will extract all the energy anyone could wish."

Ethanol, Hydrogen: True energy solutions?

Think ethanol and hydrogen are the answer to oil alternatives? It's little more than a bandwagon ride, like Coke selling bottled tap water, Aquafina.

Ethanol and hydrogen are little more than a way for energy megacorps to diversify their income without true regard for the lasting impact or contribution of their products.

Both ethanol and hydrogen require more energy to create than the energy they produce (something corn and sugar producers might be happy about for a while). They will, in time, become another short-term, wasteful energy choice 

Are there truly efficient and clean alternatives? Here are some being developed and considered by independent, collaborative (i.e. non-corporate) research through The Orion Project.

• Thermal Exchange Motors
• Pulsed Motor Generators
• Hydroxy Gas Energy Systems
• Zero Point (Quantum Vacuum) Electromagnetic Generators

For as little as $30, anyone can help fund these and other alternatives through The Orion Project, a collective of new energy physics.
