Recapture Source Energy

Energy Source Recapture

Intro Background

All types of waste energy exist in our current engineered systems. The efficiency for particular systems vary from fundamental physics driving ideal values, to physical make up losses from friction, to manufacturing variability per system that do not meet the ideal physics capability and other external sources of energy beyond a systems boundary.

Recharging Electric Vehicle with Wheels and Alternate Energy

Our company has designed a unique mechanical device, we refer to as a VSTC and a Wind Turbine, to be used as alternate energy, in order to produce a self-efficient AEV that will obtain, using a 12V DC Lithium-ion battery, 75,000 - 100,000 Miles Per Battery Life (MPBL) without the need for a Hybrid engine,

Related Electric Power Technology

All technologies listed are based on high-frequency PWM power electronics, magnetics, and rotational dynamics; and are synergistic with each other. They include brushless regenerative DC motors, DC generators, DC kinetic battery, PV power maximizer electronics, motor-wheels for onboard solar-powered EV. Except for the EV, prototypes have been tested. Performance agrees with design analysis results.

Renewable Resource Generator

In today's marketplace resources are becoming increasingly rare and the capability to process them is becoming increasingly difficult. As the market continues onward with this trend, product costs increase and fewer consumers are able to afford purchases. This cycle continues until the mass market is reduced to a single choice.

Resonant Energy Motor

This motor is based on the concept of a resonant energy reaction. An example of a resonant energy reaction is the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse of 1940. A constant wind caused the bridge to sway. As it swayed back and forth it absorbed more energy from the wind in one direction than the other.

Safe Inexpensive Solar Hot Water Heater

Why does every home not have a solar hot water heater? Indifference to energy usage allows people to plug in a hot water heater then forget about it. Electric costs are so low high cost solar panels cannot compete with John Q. Public - energy hog. A solar hot water heating panel has been developed using inexpensive available materials.

Self-Powererd Lighted Signage and Awnings

This approach to lighting up a large surface area without the use of lights requiring hundreds of watts of power or arrays of hundreds of exposed LEDs offers an alternate method that reduces the necessary power consumption by a magnitude of 100 times or in some cases even more.

Self-Sustaining, Zero-Net Energy City

The Cradle-to-Cradle, self-sustaining, zero-net energy city of the future is fast coming to fruition.

A half century ago, learned people were forecasting that by the turn of the century the world would not have enough food or fuel and pollution would dominate the earth. So,

Silicide Ores, New Energy Frontier

In the mid 80's we found in Peru a new material with interesting contents of Gold and Platinum Group contents that had metallurgical difficulties, only to find after long time that such contents were in the form of silicides in the crystal structure of naturally occurring Iron Silicides in hard rock ores and black sands.

Silicon from Rice Hulls

The idea is to burn rice hulls in a biomass power plant to produce steam and electricity next to the rice mill where the rice hull is separated and is available in large quantities as agricultural waste.

One then transform the fly ashes (rich in very pure silica) into silica and activated carbon by digestion, filtration,
