This article is the most recent in a series of fascinating reports which were the result of a bit of online research I did into possible alternative energy solutions. These articles can be found at my Water 4 Gas Blog Believe it or not, Fred Flintstone was dead on with his automobile by means of his bare feet sticking out the bottom!!! Yep, that is the destination to which my research led me! Fred’s only mistake is that as an a cartoon character he was he wasn’t allowed to “think” big enough! Folks are beginning to realize that a significant natural source of electrical energy is the energy produced in the everyday things 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 itwith regards to conservation and recycling of energy we can supply power to large cities! Well it certainly seems that ol’ Fred had more going on in his head than it appeared! Well, it is one direction where my investigations led me. I have written other pieces. My focused mission is to enlighten people about the treasure chest of alternative fuel information at my Water 4 Gas that educates you how to convert your gas powered vehicle engine into partial hybrid or total water-based hydrogen consuming system. But in that process I have discovered the potentials of alternative energy that I wanted to help get the word out about some of the fascinating information I have come across with you also. Some approaches include a dance floor that generates electrical energy from the movements of the dancers on the dance floor to energy-harvesting shoes that convert friction from walking into electricity. One shoe prototype can generate about six watts, more than enough to power a cellphone. Besides Fred Flintstone, another icon of the 1960s was Maxwell Smart’s shoe phone on the Get Smart comedy. This is a new spin on a shoe phone! Like many of these endeavors, the health club experiment will not be able to light up a skyline or even power the spa's own air conditioning. They have connected thirteen machines at one of its facilities. If all of them were connected up, the electrical power generated amounts to roughly 300 watts, about sufficient to operate three 27-inch TV sets, 5 sixty-watt light bulbs or a few hundred video iPods. If the gym had all the machines being used and were connected 10 hours a day for a year, the facility could generate approximately $183 worth of electrical energy. At that rate of progress, it would take about eighty two years to pay off the original $15,000 investment. Converting elbow grease into electricity has a long, odd history (no, we are not actually considering Fred Flintstone to be a part of that lol). The first telephones, two centuries ago, were powered by turning a crank that generated 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 quite a few of the new approaches focus on capturing electricity that is a byproduct of casual human life, such as exercising, dancing and walking. Scientists give the name such devices "parasitic" generators. Many of the most futuristic projects center their attention on harvesting the energy of crowds. It’s as if someone thought about the Super Bowl or Times Square on New Year’s Eve or a Bruce Springsteen concert and said…”man! If we could just harness that energy!” Enviu, a Dutch environmental organization, is renovating a nightclub in Rotterdam which will utilize a dance floor that transforms vibrations from those happy feet into electricity. One potential design for the dacne floor involves piezoelectric crystals, which put forth a small electric current when compressed. But Enviu's 20-by-20-foot floor willcost them $260,000 and will generate only enough current to operate some lights embedded in it. So this could be considered more of an attraction than a solution. Designers in London has been developing flooring materials which could eventually serve to collect energy from throngs of commuters traversing busy subway tunnels. In one proposal, each step on the floor would push fluid through a microturbine, generating electricity. Let me take a second to focus some attention back towards my main activity in the midst of these happy musings in this particular articles series. WATER4GAS is sharing information for a fee which consumers can use in their garage or wherever to build a small gizmo which infuses hydrogen into the fuel/air mixture that their car runs on. The process makes smaller particles out of the particles that the system burns as fuel. Because of the smaller size it gets to use much more of the gas. By doing this you can minimumly expect to reduce your gasoline consumption by 12%. In reality though many are obtaining 30-50% improvement or even more. Those goblets must have been pretty "blankin'" huge in some engines before. But with W4G they are made usable so you can reduce your gasoline consumption. It also helps make emissions substantially cleaner. This package of info has been purchased by over NINE THOUSAND people already and happy members number about 99%! So that's a start!
