This article is the most recent in a series of fascinating reports based on some internet research I recently did potential alternative fuel solutions. The other articles can be found at my Water 4 Gas Blog As unlikely as one might presume, Fred Flintstone was right with his foot powered automobile!!! Yep, this is a major conclusion of my research! Fred’s only error is that as an animated cartoon character he was he didn’t “think” on a big enough scale! People are beginning to discover that a potentially huge natural source of alternative energy is the energy generated from the routine activities that most everyone does so it is not a matter of slave labor camps! Just by going about our daily routines but by being somewhat more intelligent about itas regards capturing and recycling of energy we can supply power to large cities! So it appears that ol’ Fred had more going on in his head than it appeared! Well, this is one direction where my research took me. I have written other pieces. My original objective is to enlighten people about the treasure chest of alternative fuel data at my Water 4 Gas that shows people how to convert your gasoline powered vehicle engine into partial combination or total water-based hydrogen consuming system. But in that process I have discovered the potentials of alternative energy that I wanted to share other amazing data I have found with you as well. Experiments vary from the floor of a dance club that captures and regenerates electricity from the movements of the dancers on the dance floor to energy-harvesting shoes that convert motion from walking into electricity. One of these shoes currently being tested can generate about six watts, more than enough to power a cellphone. Besides Fred Flintstone, another icon of 1960s television was Maxwell Smart’s shoe phone on the Get Smart TV program. This is a new angle on a shoe phone! Like some of these endeavors, the health club experiment isn't going to keep a skyline lit or even provide sufficient electricity for the gym's own air conditioning. So far they have only connected thirteen machines at one of its clubs. If all of them were in use, the electrical power generated amounts to approximately 300 watts, roughly enough to operate three 27-inch television sets, 5 sixty-watt light bulbs or several hundred video iPods. If the gym had all the machines being used and were connected 10 hours a day for 365 days, the spa could produce about $183 worth of electricity. At that rate, it would take about 82 years to pay off the original $15,000 investment. Converting physical endeavor into electricity has a long, strange history (no, not talking about Fred again lol). The first phones, two centuries ago, were powered by turning a crank that produced an electrical impulse to alert the operator when one wanted to make a call. Flashlights that operate by hand crank have long been available. So have hand-crank portable radios. The difference between those and these is that most of the new approaches focus on recycling electricity that is a byproduct of routine human activities, such as walking,dancing or exercising. Scientists give the name such devices "parasitic" generators. There are several researchers working on recycleing the energy of crowds. It’s as if someone was watching the Mardi Gras or Times Square on New Year’s Eve or a Bruce Springsteen concert and said…”damn! If we could just harness that energy!” Enviu, a European environmental organization, is constructing a dance club in Rotterdam that will utilize a dance floor that converts vibrations from the dancing feet into electricity. One possible blueprint for the floor involves piezoelectric crystals, which generate a small electric impulse when compressed. But Enviu's 20-by-20-foot floor is expected to cost $260,000 and will generate only enough current to operate some lights integrated into the pattern of the floor. So this is more of an attraction than a solution. Designers in Great Britain has been in the process of developing flooring materials that could ultimately serve to harvest energy from throngs of commuters walking into busy subway tunnels. In one proposal, every step on the floor would push liquid through a microturbine, generating electricity. I just want to steer some attention back towards my main activity in the midst of these happy musings about Fred Flinstone’s alternative energy solutions. WATER4GAS is sharing information at a low price which individuals can use at home to build a small gizmo which infuses hydrogen into the gasoline/air mixture that their car runs on. What this does is make smaller particles out of the ones that the system uses as fuel. Therefore it gets to use a lot more of it. By doing this you can minimumly expect to increase your fuel performance by 12%. In reality though many are obtaining thirty to fifty percent improvement or significantly more. Those goblets must have been pretty darn big in some engines before. But with W4G they are made usable so you can increase your fuel performance. It also helps reduce emissions significantly. This package of info has been purchased by over 9000 people already and happy members number about 99%! So that's a start!
