Covering dams with a film of floating photovoltaic panels (solar cells) has 2 benefits on the one hand a flat surface to produce electricity and on the other preventing evaporation of water in the Dam, which is normally around 30% loss of water yearly reservoirs
I have never understood why no one has yet to invent a combined platform that has an inlet for generating wave energy as well as a wind turbine for creating wind energy offshore. I have seen mockups of both individually but not yet combined. Surely it is better to kill two birds with one when it comes to the environment and generating energy.
Everybody knows those gadgets you put in your belt which make use of you movements while walking to tell you the distance you have walked. Everybody also knows watches who take your movement energy to work. Why not making a gadget to charge batteries, mobile phones, PDAs, just by using your movements while walking?
Piezoelectric effect, voltage produced between surfaces of a solid dielectric (nonconducting substance) when a mechanical stress is applied to it. A small current may be produced as well. Piezoelectric materials are used in transducers, e.g., phonograph cartridges, microphones, and strain gauges, which produce an electrical output from a mechanical input, and in earphones and ultrasonic radiators,Now I've been thinking if this idea can be used on furniture like chairs, beds, couches. Afterall...
we cycle for fun, go to d gym to build abs, run to keep fit....wat we expend for our muscles we could use as a source of energy..fittina dynamo to d cycle to recharge a battery..to d various equipments in a gym to tap d muscle power...in a way..we could get bak d energy we spent..NE TAKERS??!!

Hi,Now a days we are going through a tough time on the electricity (India). We use lot of street lights even if there is no vehicle on the road. The idea is that each and every lamp post to have a "sensor" in order to detect the "movement" on the road in order to make the lamp "on" else should be "off". These "lamp-sensors" will have "communication" with the next lamp post and so on. regardsYukti
Original idea by Agustin was: I'll get all nuclear energy enemies to live in a village connected to a nuclear plant, they could choose whether to switch it on or not, After a few months living there the nuclear plant will be on 24h/24 and the oposition to Nuclear energy will be over.------------------------------------- The point is that the electrical supply network is UNIQUE. Yes, X % from hidroelectrics, Y % from Termics , Z % from solars , K % from eolics and .... H % from nuc...
I believe that the time has come to re design the way we produce and distribute electricity. As Al Gore is rightly so promoting for the USA and will try to convince Obama's Governments to do so, I believe it is needed for all the countries of the world. We stronger electrical networks with less wastage and taking into account more means of energy sources that are cleaner and greener like solar, wind, batteries, nuclear and excluding as much as possible carbon producedA...
