This is the latest of several such articles based on a bit of internet research I recently did potential alternative fuel solutions. The other articles can be found at my Water 4 Gas Blog Believe it or not, Fred Flintstone had it right with his automobile by means of his bare feet sticking out the bottom!!! Yep, that is the destination to which my research took me! His only mistake is that as an a cartoon creation he was he wasn’t allowed to “think” big enough! Creative individuals are coming to discover that a major natural resource for electrical energy is human effort so it is not a matter of slave labor camps! From doing nothing more than what we customarily do all the time anyway but by being a tiny bit more intelligent about itas regards capturing and recycling of energy we can light large cities! Well it certainly seems that ol’ Fred was more intelligent than he looked! Well, this is one place where my investigations took me. I also have written other pieces. My original mission is to make you aware of the treasure chest of alternative energy data at my Water 4 Gas that educates individuals how to convert your gasoline powered automobile engine into partial hybrid or total water-based hydrogen consuming system. But in that activity I have become so intrigued with the creative thinking of alternative energy that I wanted to help get the word out about some of the amazing data I have seen in my travels with you also. Experiments range from the dance floor in a club that generates electrical energy from the movements of the dancers on the dance floor to energy-harvesting shoes that convert motion from taking a stroll into electricity. One shoe prototype can generate about six watts, which would be more than sufficient to keep you from having to recharge your cell phone battery. Besides Fred Flintstone, a familiar icon of 1960s television was the shoe phone used by Maxwell Smart on the Get Smart TV program. This is a new spin on a shoe phone! Like some of these endeavors, the health club experiment isn't going to light up a skyline or even power the spa's own air conditioning. So far they have only rigged up 13 machines at one of its facilities. If all of them were connected up, the power generated amounts to roughly 300 watts, approximately enough to power three 27-inch television sets, 5 sixty-watt light bulbs or a few hundred video iPods. If all the exercise machines were being used and were connected ten hours a day for one full year, the facility could produce approximately $183 worth of electrical energy. At that pace, it would take about 82 years to pay off the original $15,000 investment. Recycling elbow grease into an electrical energy source has a long, strange history (no, not talking about Fred again lol). The first phones, in the 1800s, had hand cranks that produced an electrical signal to alert the operator when one was placing a. Flashlights that operate by hand crank have long been available. So have hand-crank portable radios. The primary point of distinction between those and these is that most of the new projects stress capturing electricity that is a byproduct of casual human life, such as exercising, dancing and walking. Scientists give the ignoble categorization of “parasitic generators”s. There are a number of researchers working on capturing the energy of crowds. It’s as if someone was watching the Super Bowl or a World Series game or a U2 concert and said…”wow! If we could just harness that energy!” Enviu, a European environmental organization, is renovating a dance club in Rotterdam that will feature a dance floor that transforms vibrations from those happy feet into electricity. One possible design for the floor makes use of piezoelectric crystals, which put forth a small electric current when compressed. But Enviu's 400 square foot floor is expected to cost $260,000 and will generate only enough current to run some lights embedded in it. So this is more of a novelty than a solution. A London design firm has been developing flooring materials that could ultimately serve to collect energy from hordes of people passing through busy subway tunnels. In one proposal, each step on the floor would push liquid through a microturbine, generating electricity. Let me take a moment to focus some attention back towards my primary activity while I continue with these happy musings about Fred Flinstone’s alternative energy solutions. WATER4GAS is providing information for a fee which individuals can use at home to build a small gizmo which infuses hydrogen into the fuel/air mixture that their automobile runs on. The process makes smaller particles out of the particles that the system burns as fuel. Therefore it is able to use considerably more of the fuel. By doing this you can reasonably expect to increase your fuel economy by 12%. But many are getting 30-50% improvement or significantly more. Those particles must have been pretty darn huge in some systems before. But with WATER4GAS they are made consumable so you can increase your fuel economy. It also helps make emissions significantly cleaner. This information has been purchased by over 9000 car owners already and the percentage of happy customers is about 99%! So that's a start!
