Interesting laying down those 12 VAWT eggbeaters with deflection sheathing at the down and backside surfaces. I am guessing they are somewhere between 1 and 3 KW each... I would also assume the prevailing wind is at "that" side of the building where located, for the "front" updraft and backside pressure ...

The costs of pure passive conditioning are just too expensive (Initial) and builder intensive rather than people just sticking in a furnace or heat pump and pay over time (Credit card mentality). Builders are very much like the standard car dealerships in their ability to act as a "governor" relating ...

I think far more practical perceptual vectors are simply the "rating" that man will continue to be a primitive civilization as long and we war, kill and burn for energy. Those are two biggies just to get up to bat for the longevity game. As far a Aliens (Non green card type), as Albert noted, the distances ...

No snow or foreign matter build up either. Vertical hot air panels are very effective if within 20 degs. of true South and open exposure. ------------------------------ william fitch Owner www.WeAreSolar.com ------------------------------

They estimate there are 8 Billion square meters of roof area in the USA suitable for solar panels. That translates to about 3000 square miles, about 1/4 to 1/3 of the area we need. SO certainly it is a good start, but by itself, it won't be enough, nearly. Regarding RE, all forms, it must be an all ...

Yes, there are many reasons for NIMBY'ism. Poor pre-engagement with the local area, projects not well thought out, not being pro-active enough, etc.. However, the deliberate political polarization of the energy sector by the intrenched interests, was just that. Because they knew how effective it would ...

Back a bunch of years ago, Tree Hugger used to be a serious renewable energy site. Then MNN bought it out, and now the site mainly talks about how to sing to your plants and vegetables. However, the only architectural material that does cross their borders quite often is...wait for it.. tiny and small ...

Without replying to anyone specific below/above, I am the first one to go on and on about DIY and projects. I could be a poster child for that, be it good or bad... With that said, let's step back a bit. The WHOLE purpose big picture for RE is to keep from cooking ourselves, with other side benefits ...

For me, as I see it, the largest hurtles are no longer technological ones. They are opposition barriers from the entrenched interests. Those interests come from many directions. Pricing is at parity or just above or just below. This is the point where just a little bit of an increase in take-up, can ...

Carbon super capacitors. Ya... As of today, one of the reasons capacitors of any kind are not used as a primary energy storage device is energy density and a linear voltage drop as the cap is exhausted. Batteries are desirable because they hold up to 80% of their voltage down to a 10% energy level. In ...

Sorry. That's my fault. I assume everyone has the same affinity level for Hollywood's products as me. "Eureka" was a sci-fi series back in 2006-2012.

I think you will find (Educated guess) that as Battery tech advances, the resources enabled for battery creation at higher energy levels will also be resources that are easier to extract and recycle (Sulfur with Lithium instead of "rarer" earths). The shift towards lighter weight moves away from Iron ...
