In the 1890's, a new
technology called the electric motor began changing the way people
worked and lived.
In the 1990's, a new
technology called the Internet began changing the way people worked and
lived.
We believe that the
fundamental changes started by the Internet will begin spreading into
the energy sector. No longer will we completely rely on centralized
power production such as nuclear reactor plants, coal-fired power
plants, natural gas driven turbines. Even the giant windmills and
huge solar arrays will start to lose significance. Our vision is to
have individual buildings and homes partially powered by clean, quiet,
unobtrusive, low-profile, concentrating-tracking wind turbines,
solarpods, and hydroxy-fired turbogenerators. Our vision is to have
cars, trucks, boats and possibly even airplanes and spacecraft powered
by variable-compression, clean-burning, quiet, compact multi-fuel
engines that can run on biodiesel, methane, hydrogen, hydroxy, or any
other readily available fuel. Our vision is to have solarpods that not
only generate electricity but also collect purified drinkable water
from the air. Our vision is a cleaner and more cost-effective
world in which families and individuals lives are improved by cheap,
widely available energy technology.
How It Works
We see the full
implementation of the ZVOR technology as proceeding in three phases:
PHASE ONE - Level your annual
energy bill
Winter and summer are both
problems and opportunities for the average building, as shown in this
chart from yourcrawlspace.com
The problem is that it costs
you more money in heating and cooling. Obviously insulation can really
help, but the real opportunity is to go a step further and install both
a wind turbine and a solarpod to generate electricity
and really "level" your energy playing field. So, this is Phase One,
you level out your yearly energy costs by using wind energy in the
winter, when it's typically windy, and, solar energy in the summer,
when its typically sunny.
PHASE TWO - Turn your
building into your power station
Now that you've leveled off
your yearly energy costs and gotten rid of those annoying "Winter
Energy Charge" and "Summer Energy Charge" extra fees and surcharges on
your electric bill,the next step is to completely eliminate the bill
altogether, and, for most buildings, this can probably be done by
simply installing additional wind turbines and solarpods. In some cases
it may be necessary to install a turbogenerator to completely eliminate
the electric company bill. The turbogenerator could simply be in your
car, so, you use your car to generate extra electricity. The ZVOR
Freedom engine can compete with fuel cells and is therefore suitable
for this type of application. Now, it should be noted that this is NOT
possible with conventional wind generators, photovoltaic panels, and
engines. Only with the truly innovative, advanced, low-cost,
zero-friction, ZVOR or similiar technology is this even possible.
PHASE THREE - Turn your
building into your gas station
Now you are completely
independent of the grid and only rely on the grid for backup or extra
usage. Now your building is your power plant. Now you can add a few
more turbines and a few more solarpods. Remember, these are compact,
low-profile units so they don't really "stick out" that much. There are
NO exposed moving parts, NO giant propellors on a 20-foot pole, and NO
tilting rotating things that look like high-tech sunflowers or
whatever. Just simple, rectangular, box-shaped units. Anyway, so you
install a few more units, now you have surplus power available. This
surplus power combines with the water you can collect from rain, or, if
you're in a dry area, from the air using your Solarpod running R-134A,
an environmentally responsible Freon. Now you can run that into a
hydroxy generator cell that breaks the water down into hydrogen and
oxygen and store that energy with much greater density than is possible
with even the most advanced battery technology.
The following clearly shows
why hydrogen is an excellent energy storage medium or fuel. To factor
in both energy density by volume and energy density by mass, I have
calculated and ranked energy density of common sources in watt-hours
per gram-liter. Even uncompressed hydrogen has greater energy density
than the Lithium-ion batteries used in the so-called "advanced" hybrid
vehicles.
