Don’t understand why people aren’t more curious as to why the automobile was invented in the 30’s or so and the best, the best we can get now almost 100 years later are cars that get 25 miles per gallon. I know there are others that use natural gas or other, but the main source is gasoline. Why haven’t we progressed more than this? Doesn’t make sense to me.
The new cars transport twice the weight at twice the speed, or more. The energy lost to air resistance is proportional to velocity squared.
Vehicle technology is restricted in part because people are so stupid. We could run high compression engines and use water injection to prevent knock. Imagine having to fill a separate tank with distilled water. Or water+methanol mix when it's freezing out.
And also by emissions standards. Lean burn is optimal for efficiency, but produces too much NOx. Modern port fuel injection or direct injection probably isn't optimal for mixing the fuel and air. Carburettors are just too hard to meet emissions, but maybe that could change if used on a range extender engine. Since the driver doesn't control the throttle on those engines, a computer could adjust the mixture to optimum and keep it there.
There are a few free energy patents that have been classified. Obviously, because it would crash the economy if it was leaked out and America would lose strength in the world.
Realize that. But if we are going to improve our economy and our state of existence, we have got to start gradually introducing these technologies. I don’t want to tank the economy either. We have to graduate from a solely petroleum based energy source. We will always need petroleum.
That WAS the excuse for keeping us tied to an aging grid infrastructure that has become an Achilles heel for this country. A couple EMP bombs and the country comes to a screeching halt. All to benefit the power generation industry. The technology exists to allow each home, each business, each building to generate their own electricity safely and for free and to scale it to any size needed. That de-centralization of power generation would make the country much safer, much more prosperous, allow people to live anywhere on the planet, eliminate those unsightly, unsafe overhear wires that are everywhere.
Would it disrupt the status quo? Yes. Would it destroy the economy, NO. Free energy would be a boom to country. How much more usable land would there be without high tension wires transversing the country? Weather and storms would have little or no impact and power outages would be rare and never widespread. Money not spent on monthly electric bills would boost everyone’s finances. Take the energy cost out of manufacturing and transportation, food production and storage, water purification, housing, data generation, storage and AI. The cost savings would be in the $trillions.
I don't disagree, we need a better power setup. After reading the John Matherson series, it's a grim but realistic reality that we need to get away from. I just think it will be a bit complicated and take time to introduce, just so things don't crash. The benefit of having very low transportation costs would have a major impact on consumer goods. There would probably be deflation in the market place.
Re-wiring the entire nation would take a lot of time, employ a lot of people and if well managed would not be too disruptive. Management would be something that the Corps of Engineers should do because I wouldn't trust the electrical industry to unwire itself. Building free energy devices, installing and maintaining same would also be a big industry. The beauty is, once done the benefit to EVs would be clear and people would move to those. No pollution from cars, industry, etc. Society could be run on clean, free energy. What a game changer. The entire world would follow. There are too many reasons to move in that direction and very few to make us want to maintain status quo.
Not poking at you directly, but this is the mindset of old we need to move away from.
We make decisions such as helping people, and improving their daily lives immensely, based off of power and money. The economy is one thing of course, but think about WHY we still keep the two connected.
Well sure, it would obviously be an amazing thing for humanity to have. I just understand the reasons behind the classification. I assume it's complicated to roll out without destroying other methods of power/income.
The only thing that's been holding it all back is the DS...and hopefully very soon we finish this all so we can all get to experience what true life was always meant to be. Also, take a look at what China is doing, the interesting part of this to me is the different tech route they went :
It is, and this is just one of the few energy techs we are getting. IMO, the hidden Tesla tech will be the first, and it's not far away with the Wardenclyff towers being popped up around the globe and the new style of border wall being built by the WHs and other countries (I think Putin is building one too)
A time traveler from 2036 said free energy would come in the form of "really efficient solar panels" wink wink…
Enter ZPower Radiant energy solar panels that work 24 hours a day, in the middle of the night, at the bottom of a mind shaft, stacked so closely into a cube it does not matter. 50 W per sq/ft. 3600 W per cubic foot.
For the frens who don't immediately jump up and do math when they see numbers….
3600w is enough to give most electric cars a full charge every day. (86.4kWh) And most likely you don't drive 300 miles a day so you won't really need a full charge.
Or 2592 kWh per month, which at a residential rate of $0.12/kWh would have a retail value of $311. Hopefully we can own our own generators and reach Tony Seba's God Parity. God Parity is when the cost of on-site generated energy falls below the cost of distribution. So even if the electric company could generate power for free they could still not compete with your on-site generation.
Most are classified to protect our military technology edge.
Surely not all are military. Maybe protecting big business?!
I am sure there are some that represent technology that they don’t want to get out.
I know. Follow the money.

Agree 100%. It would be a true golden age.

According to the article, it's progressing slowly and still decades away from being practical. Still, good to see.
It is, and this is just one of the few energy techs we are getting. IMO, the hidden Tesla tech will be the first, and it's not far away with the Wardenclyff towers being popped up around the globe and the new style of border wall being built by the WHs and other countries (I think Putin is building one too)
Maybe if withholding freedom will crash our economy, our economy should, fittingly, be crashed and a new freedom respecting economy designed.
Not talking about those.
The Navy has control of them, if I remember correctly from 4 years ago.

Imagine 5–10 ft.³ of this device in the trunk of an electric car continuously charging it.
That's up to 36,000 watts of power, day and night.
@ 120 volts, that's 300 amps. A lot.
