Bring About a Sustainable Renewable Energy Revolution

Pseudoscientific nonsense.

I call this advertising.

Let alone the claims in the first two sentences are false.

I call it crap. Find it hard to think up anything more fitting.

There's a Minnesota outhouse waiting for this.

Neat.

You use a giant turbine fan to lift a weight, and use the falling weight to produce electricity.

Lots of applications with this concept!!!!

For example: We could use a pump to push water to a large storage tank in the air, then we could release the water to turn a hydroelectric turbine!!!!!

Brilliant!

Did either you or those guys bother to consider the energy required to lift the piston in the first place? Neither the link nor the video discusses this; no surprise.

WALOOB!

I think you need to get a degree in physics or engineering before you post any more comments. It would make you feel such a fool.

"Please donate money to build a working model, we need about $100,000. More updates to follow."

Hilarious!

When you make such proposals it is better to stay anonymous!

Looking at your sketches I remembered that you already made the "genial proposal" a few month ago.

I have to recognize that your basic ideas are as stupid as the 1st time and did not make any progress.

Good luck I highly appreciate your "it is almost 90% certain that 'Home Grid' will work."

It is good to perseverate but stupid to be stubborn.

I take it you are not aware that when you post anonymously the admin and moderators can still see who you are.

All you posted here is one more bigger reason for the AP function to be pulled from this site permanently.

forget todays dose of lithium?

Dilip "doubletalk" James....If you can raise any money,, please spend it on an education...

This sounds a lot like this.

I think this calls for a double, since it is at least the second time this OP has offered the same nonsense.

Gravity and atmospheric pressure is why hydroelectric dams work.

That's somewhat like how pumped storage works.

Not interested in "pimped" storage systems, thank you.

Funny how often it comes back to being just stored solar power.

I still have high hopes for the Tokamak approach.

Sounds like aone of the spin-offs from Chrysler's Turbo Entabulator as shown here:

They always claim that solar and wind energy are free. Using the same logic, hydro, oil, nuclear energies are also free... It is the capture and transformation that cost money.

So, can they stop using this argument to suck money from us.

No, they most certainly will not because this is one of the ambiguous statements in this discussion that depends on how one interprets the statement as to it being a true or false statement. Allow me to expand on precisely your point.

Solar and wind energies are delivered free of financial charge to a location but their harvesting into a different usable energy is never free of any financial charge. Building alignment (prior to construction) and color choice can be an extremely modest financial expense with passive solar heating/cooling gains at virtually any latitude. Converting solar energy into highly flexible electric power can incur significant investment cost that may never "pay for itself" in the long run. The same can be said with wind but using different machines for harvesting. Similar cost benefit relationships will apply.

As usual the devil is in the details of how the harvesting happens.

I sent this,

"I'm surprised that you would allow projects that have no technical merit and, indeed, are physically impossible to implement in any useful way." to indiegogo.com.

From the website:

Flexible Funding

This campaign will receive all funds raised even if it does not reach its goal. Funding duration: November 22, 2013 - January 21, 2014 (11:59pm PT).

So, our hapless AP will net at least $140.00 USD for his trouble.

How so?

Sorry. I jumped to another incorrect conclusion.

The campaign, not the proposer of fictional energy sources.

Think I'll have another pint.

Thanks for the FB comment.

The money was probably self contributed to give a false sense of credibility.

The term "renewable energy" is nonsense in itself. Solar energy is non-renewable in Earth terms, as when the sun approaches the end of its life, it will swell and engulf the Earth.

Were one to compare energy to money for illustrative purposes, then:

• Solar energy is income-based energy, as is wind, tidal and hydro.
• Fossil fuel is savings-based energy, as is nuclear.
• Waste heat is expense.

The rest of the original post is nonsense, bordering on a scam.
