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.
