Harvesting Electricity from Ambient Turbulence (HEAT)

As anyone knows who has changed a tire along a busy roadway, an incredible amount of turbulence is created by external airflow over and around passing vehicles. This turbulent air is an untapped, kinetic-energy resource; though, it is difficult to harness due to the chaotic intensity and irregular vectors of the energy.

High Expansion Rotary Steam Engine

SpinDyne's "Shields Brother's Engine"

If public and private transportation vehicles were powered by an engine which would be significantly more economical without sacrificing power, less costly to manufacture, less costly to maintain, quieter, and naturally low in all forms of vehicular emissions, the quality of life would be greatly enhanced.

High Temperature Superconductor

I/ Meissner Effect

1/ Diamagnetism will occur if the orbital velocity of electrons vary.

2/ At low temperatures( near absolute zero ), the electrons of the phonon’s atoms move slowly & thus cause the diamagnetic effect.

3/ Therefore there is no magnetic field inside a superconductor.

Highly Efficient “Little Engine That Can”

The reciprocating engine has been a paradigm for industry and a touchstone for engine technology for over one hundred years. Engines used today though, are only five to seven percent mechanically efficient at best. They expel more than 75% of the thermal energy of its fuel out the radiator and exhaust! Wasted!

Highway Power

I suggest that we combine infrastructure elements; ie: topping the sound barrier walls that buffer neighborhoods from traffic sounds with solar panels. These walls are supported by metal I-beams footed in concrete.

East-west highways (Interstate 70-80-90) have at least one wall facing south across lanes of traffic.

Hot Air Balloon Power Station

The idea is to provide lower installation cost and higher efficiency alternative to solar updraft tower.

As for updraft power plant generating ability depends primarily on the collector area (solar energy absorbed), the chimney height and air temperature difference.
