In about a year we'll be using hydrogen cars.
you gotta go beyond the battery as an example. I mean think about it, that battery, was made in a factory, powered by the power plants that kill our environment.
I was reading about the N machine thing, that's pretty cool, i would like to see one work.
And no, hydrogen is not the answer, again, it takes coal power to produce it...
The idea behind the N machine goes beyond typical physics... it's producing more energy than is put into it to make it run...
As for right now, do what you can, use less water, turn the lights off, and recycle! And buy a hybrid if you want, at least your doing what you can with the technologies offered.

ive got a better idea.
next time you go to get a car, get a truck with a deisel engine...
all deisel powered engines can use hempseed oil for fuel, with no alterations to any of its parts. (the first deisel engine ran on hempseed oil, and all the rest are built the same way)
then, get a license to grow hemp for industrial uses, extract your oil, and then you got free gas. and you have a way to make money...

are you dumb are just retarted... the battery has to be charged by electricity... and 56% of the electricity made is by burning coal... this theory is also known as you're a moron:thumbsup:

I have a friend that makes bio diesel for her car..

Again, you are over looking bio-diesel.

We need to run a car off of piss, i mean think about it...A dick is just like a gas pump!

I like the idea of the bullet trains in Japan.
The theory behind it.
It makes logical sense that if you can magnetically levitate an object it requires much less energy to propel it forward.
A magnetically levitated 5000 lb. mass, levitated 1/4 inch, can easily be pushed forward with your hands with little effort.
Many energy forms can be converted to magnetic energy or using super-conductive theories to levitate.
The problem is finding what energy source to use as this conversion and ways to adapt it to our current infrastucture and solving the problems of independence of the personal vehicle. It is no doubt a hard problem to solve.
Many things need to be re-thought simultaneously.
General motors, Ford, etc. should have been investing heavily in this technology 20 years ago through research and design instead of waiting till the problems are becoming urgent and wars need to be faught to maintain these fuel sources. This is why Ford has recently began closing many of its plants. People arent buying these gas guzzlers.
With a global population that is growing very fast and putting demands on the finite amount of natural petroleum in the ground it is easy to see that there is no choice. There is only a set amount of raw petroleum in the ground.
Currently the most easily accessable oil in the gulf of mexico is one mile beneath the ocean floor.
Many people dont realize that things like, paint, carpet, fabrics, plastics and many, many more things are also petroleum based as well.
Solving the problem of the independent home is very easy in sunny climates like, New mexico, Arizona, California, Texas, Nevada, Florida. Provided it is a new home and not a retrofitted one.
I have seen communities in the mountains of Northern New Mexico where individual homes are heated and cooled naturally by thermal storage and release technology, positioniong to the azimuth of the sun, Landscaping with foliage trees that loose their leaves in the winter to allow sun into the home and block it in the summer.
In other words the house is built around the patterns of the sun, the energy of the sun passes through huge panes of glass where it collects on a thermal mass in the home, (1000s of cinderblocks carefully positioned for air movement and direction of flow, then coated in adobe and incorporated into the overall design of the home so it is appealing to look at.
In these cases the mass is called a "trombe" wall. It is designed to collect this heat in the day and release at night though computer controlled vents.
The heated water is derived from the trombe wall as well with piping imbeded in the trombe wall mass. This is also controlled and monitored by the home's computer. So the sun is providing the energy and the computer is directing the energy,(vents, water temp, valves,automatic blinds, etc)
The bedrooms are positioned on the second level of the home as well as the water heater, (hot/warm air rises, hot/warm water rises, cold air / cold water falls). So the idea is this is a natural self propelled means of heating air and water through a convection loop system.
This is the main theory of the double envelope design, a house within a house. I am only giving a brief explanation of how it works.
In emergency situations, or low electricity storage situations the computer will throw a transfer switch and turn on a generator. However one man said his generator hasnt come on in 3 years and this is an area that gets below freezing in several months in the winter.
Double envelope convection design and thermal mass storage is an excellent idea to both heat and cool a home.
All electricity is derived from solar and stored. The majority of the lighting is 12volt and some portions are converted to 120/240. I was impressed by the 12 volt lighting as the designs in fixtures are evolving to incorporate recessed lighting for design of the home. It used to be 12 volt lighting fixtures were ugly to look at. But now they are evolving in design to mimic what you would find in a modern home.
All solar panels are mounted on platforms that track the sun using gas-type shock devices, (they track the sun and position the panels for optimum gain using no electricity whatsoever). When the sun goes down they automatically reset to the face the east for the next morning. Very effiecient.
Water is collected naturally by rain collectors on the roof, or in some cases higher on the hillside and channeled by graivity into sisterns and processed, gravity then feeds pressure to faucets from the secondary storage tank. Dirty water comes out perfectly clean. The water pressure is gravity driven. I couldnt tell the difference.
These homes are 100% self sufficient. Some changes in lifestyle are required though. But these people pay zero for utilities.
I was very impressed by these homes.

Lol u guys actually belive that we will have hydrogen cars in the next 5 years? Come on dude if they did that then there would be millions of americans out of jobs. Gas stations every thing oil would crumble. There are oil lobbiests who pay people to slow the tech of hydrogen cars so they dont go out of buisness.

Sorry, took me a while to get to this thread, my answer is to check this shit out http://www.unitednuclear.com

its pretty wak that someone would call me a moron because they dont know how a battery works. For the last time....there is no electricity in a battery.....a battery just holds chemicals...when there is a current of electrons that go from the negative side of a battery, to a load, to the positive side of a battery...the chemicals in each side of the battery mix....producing an electrochemical reaction. (a chemical reaction that produces electrons.) Different types of batteries have different internal resistors.....the speed of the chemical reaction determines how much the battery gets "charged" with electrons.
ok im done with this thread.
