Why These 3 Renewable Energy Sources Are Not Going To Bring You Profit - Learn The Facts
There are three major renewable energy sources - wind power, solar power, and magnetic power. Recently, there has been a lot of hype surrounding these with promises that you can make your own electricity using each of these. Even more, some claim that you can make so much electricity that you have a surplus and you can sell it to your power company. All these claims are probably well-founded in facts. The purpose of this article, however, is to present you with the shortcomings of each of these three sources, so that you can make a better decision based on a careful consideration of pros and cons and not only hearsay.
What is wrong with wind power systems?
In theory wind power systems can make you a lot of free electricity whenever the wind is blowing. Stop. Do you see the first shortcoming? Yes, the wind has to be blowing. If it is not blowing for some reason, then you are not making electricity anymore. Therefore, the first shortcoming of wind power is its over-dependence on its source - the wind. Whenever there is no wind, there is no electricity. With this, obviously, you can not go completely off-grid.
The second shortcoming of wind power systems is connected with the price of such an installation. How much do you think it would cost you to purchase a wind turbine and to set up your wind power system? It can certainly cost you well within the tens of thousands of dollars. And how long will it take for this system to repay for itself? Well, let us say that you save $100 per month, which is a reasonable amount - not too much, not too little. This makes a little over $1000 per year. So depending on the price of your system you are set for up to 20-30 years for your system to repay for yourself. Do you have so much time to wait?
Now, how about solar power systems?
Yes, it is quite similar to wind power. In the case of solar power, however, you need not wind but sun exposure for it to make you electricity. If the sun is shining, you are making electricity. If it is not shining, though, you are stuck without electricity. Therefore, you can not really go off-grid with solar power either.
Price is another big factor in solar power systems as well. They are pretty expensive - perhaps even more expensive than wind power systems. The initial investment of tens of thousands of dollars takes a while to repay itself unless you are really lucky and you get a lot of solar exposure. So similarly to wind power, solar power systems take a long time to pay for themselves and are not reliable to give you electricity all the time. Do you want to get stuck with such an expensive and sometimes inefficient system?
Finally, let us look at what is bad about magnetic power systems?
Magnetic power systems are the cheapest of the three. However, the bad thing about them is that you have to build them yourselves, i.e. presumably not everyone can build one. So you need know-how. Where do you get this know-how? And is it going to allow a complete newbie make a well-working magnetic power generator?
But there is one more shortcoming of magnetic power generators, and that is their efficiency. We already mentioned the low price. Well, you get what you pay for, so the return is not that high either - it takes several hours to charge a simple 12V battery. Therefore, magnetic power generators are definitely not sufficient to go off-grid and stay off-grid.
So, these were the shortcomings of the three top renewable energy sources. One could easily see that each of these has its shortcomings. But what if you were to implement all of these, so that they could complement each other. Furthermore, what if you had a step-by-step guide on how to make each one of them? Thus, you could save money and you could make sure that your renewable energy system is most efficient. For a list of renewable energy DIY systems check the link below.

To someone who doesn't know the real Ronald Flynn might believe all the bad things some people wrote about him on the internet. But really, who is Ronald Flynn and what is intriguing about this man?
He is an American environmentalist, philanthropist, and the Founder, CEO of True Green Energy Group. He is also the founder of Spectrum Blue Steel Corporation. He might not be as famous as David Suzuki for his environmental efforts but he is a man with sincere love for the environment and a true advocate of green energy. Together with his TGEG and SBSC family, they endeavor to make true changes in energy industry. With their unwavering vision of achieving a zero waste society, they continuously seek ways on how to help in saving our environment by innovating green energy production and waste management.
The fact that the world has been dependent on fossil fuels for energy in the past years has created various environmental problems worldwide particularly the increased of carbon dioxide emissions. Flynn and his team used a strategy wherein they could "de-carbonize" the electric power generation industry by shifting to non-fossil fuel-based energy sources, specifically waste-to-energy to help in solving these environmental concerns. This follows the American Energy Policy Act of 2005 which confirmed energy-from-waste is renewable, and the Philippine Renewable Energy Law (RA 9513) of the Philippines.
Right now, Ronald Flynn along with SBSC and TGEG continues to promote the use of green technologies such as biosphere technology. He is confident that with biosphere technology, the problems with energy and environment will be eventually solved. Biosphere technology is a form gasification process invented and developed by Dr. Chris McCormack. This technology uses wastes instead of natural reserves to produce electricity or green energy. It harnesses the combustibility of solid wastes (MSW) to create a heat source that produces super heated steam via boiler. Then this super heated steam will then be used to drive a combination stream turbine/alternator that will generate electricity. Unlike other standard gasifications it does not pollute the environment since its process is done under elevated temperature and oxygen starved environment. The biosphere technology has passed all U.S. and European atmospheric emission standards including the latest EPA regulations.
In his environmental leadership, SBSC and TGEG has now various contracts with cities and municipalities in the Philippines and Brazil. These are joint ventures regarding the deployment of biosphere facilities that would solve energy and waste management problems. Some of the cities that signed contracts with SBSC include San Fernando Pampanga, Tanjay, Bayawan, Dumaguete, Cebu, Naga, and Sta. Rosa Nueva Ecija. And by next month SBSC, TGEG and Voga Brazil were expecting more than 13 international contracts with government officials of Brazil.
About the Author
SBSC has an exclusive license to market, sell, or lease, install, and operate the Biosphere Process in the Philippines. The Biosphere Process or Biosphere Technology is a form of gasification wherein it destroys traditional and non-traditional waste materials to generate electricity.

I hope you also don't care when they raise your electric rates, garbage rates, waste water rates, property taxes, income taxes, sales tax, gas tax etc. Even if you think global warming is a crock, pollution isn't and we spend billions of dollars trying to keep our air, water and soil clean enough to support human life. Our food sources are getting sicker and have fewer nutrients in an attempt to produce more.
BTW in my state all the traffic lights have been changed to LED, they use about 1/10 the energy of the old bulbs.
It's the media who has convinced us that the world is our shopping cart and that disposable is better than reusable.

[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate] The energy of the emitted light decreases with increasing particle size. Explain this effect?
The colour of the fluorescence of colloidal solutions of CdS nanoparticles depends on their size, changing from blue for small particles (1.7 nm), through green and yellow to orange red for 6 nm particles. This means that the energy of the emitted light decreases with increasing particle size. Explain this effect. Does anyone know what theory, if any, this corresponds to? Thanks.
particles don't change size size of a particle is constant due to electron repulsion and pull of the nucleus
the particles remain at the same size its the wavelength that change
if you note a long wavelength has a low frequency and a short wavelength has a high frequency and use the equation E=hf
E=energy h= planks constant (not important here) f = frequency
you'll see that the shorter the wavelength the higher the frequency the more energy it has

Is Replenishable Energy Technology Genuinely Ready For Use To Homeowners
Is Replenishable Energy Technology Unquestionably Available To Homeowners? With the skyrocketing power prices and influences of global warming so commonplace nowadays, many folks are pondering if there is trueness to the thought of restockable power technology. There also appears to be confusion between alternative power technology and restockable generated power technology. Alternative generated power encompasses all repeatable energy sources, but includes things like nuclear power and power from municipal waste. These are carbonaceous examples. Repeatable generated power technology focuses on energy that is having another in its place as it is being put into action, such as solar power and wind energy.
With that clear, are there undoubtedly rewards on a home or small business level to repeatable solar technology? Thoroughly. Truthfully, by exacting repeatable generated power technology on a home level a person can save one self thousands of dollars each year. Repeatable power technology has gained popularity in recent years and it has become increasingly easy to meet their home's generated power needs with just a little handyman work. With the information available about repeatable generated power technology, it is possible to build replenishable energy products, such as a windmill or solar panel, on their own. Do-it-yourselfers are saving huge amounts of pocket change by building and installing these systems themselves. If a person have the money to invest in a commercial professionally installed system, in general these are more efficient, however, savings can still be realized, and at a much faster rate, by researching and building their own restockable power systems.
Replenishable generated power technology is advancing with each day. Solar electrical systems have advanced from giant roof panels to thin layers of film that are twice as conductive and work with less sunlight. There are now solar powered charges for cell phones, batteries and other small household items. Windmills have been made more aerodynamic for greater action and electricity generation. Repeatable power technology can even be seen along today's highways as small solar/wind operation stations powering signs and lights.
The reality is renewable power technology is working and a person can put it to work for a person in their home or business. With growing popularity and more consumer use, renewable generated power technology could minimize our effects of global warming, help alleviate financial stress and create a world less depend on fossil fuels.

Simple things to make spring outstanding for your health
Seasonal Harmony
By Ellasara Kling
There are obvious benefits to eating foods that are local to you and in accord with the season you are in. These include freshness, greater availability, more energetic value, supporting your local farmers and so on. But, there are other benefits that may not be as obvious as they do not necessarily "show up" immediately. A very important one is supporting your health and another is supporting your energetic practice, even though we may not "see" the results of this immediately. It's one of those things that usually become apparent over time. (However, if one's health is not very good, even small changes can make an apparent difference pretty immediately.) We are all an aspect of Nature and our bodies are deeply aware of the energy of each season, even if our minds are only relating to the weather reports of variations in hot/cold, dry/damp. Our bodies are nonetheless experiencing the upward and outward flow of Spring or the downward and inward flow of Autumn, for example. Eating foods that follow the energy of the season supports our body's natural efforts to be in accord with the energy flow. By increasing our awareness of, participation in and experience of Nature, we decrease stress and increase our health and energy practice. Doing what we can to harmonize as much as we can with Nature as it is, increases our energy and reduces our body's struggle for balance, which in effect increases our energy. Essentially, I am of the view that a multitude of dis-ease manifestations find their source in a lack of energy and energy flow. One way to gather energy is through the foods we eat; therefore, it is best to eat foods that have the optimum possibility of increasing our energy and harmonizing with our bodies at any given time. Eat Seasonal, Eat Local, Think Global!
SPRING FOODS:
Having listed many foods that harmonize with Spring last month, I would like to highlight Artichokes this month as an above-average, often overlooked and under-appreciated Spring/Liver season food. The artichoke is an excellent food for supporting Liver function. Its ability to support the Liver and Gall Bladder functions has been recognized for hundreds of years in Greece, Egypt and Italy where it was commonly used medicinally as a tonic and/or detox for the liver/gall bladder. But, it doesn't really take an infusion or medicinal formula to gain benefit from this wonderful plant.
Exactly what is that strange looking, green, round, thorny-tipped, bud-like vegetable? The artichoke is the immature flower (bud) of a type of thistle. When fully mature, the leaves open and a lavender/blue/purple flower emerges from the green bud. This flower is not edible and its beginnings are found in the center of the artichoke "bud" that we eat. Large artichokes come from the upper portion of the plant and small ("baby") artichokes grow lower on the plant. The type we see fresh in the U.S. come from California where the climate allows them to grow year round with a definite peak from March through May. The artichoke is a root stock that is planted and harvested by hand. Although there are now varieties that can be planted with seeds, they are not the artichokes that are most prevalent in the marketplace. And, artichokes are a non-GMO food.
For information (and mini-videos) on how to select, prepare, and eat artichokes visit www.artichoke.org (the Artichoke Advisory Board). Ways to prepare artichokes include soups, baked, steamed, stuffed, fried and marinated. It lends itself to many flavorings and sauces. My personal favorite is to simply steam the artichoke and savor it leaf by leaf with a little fresh lemon juice and salt. Regardless of how you choose to prepare it, this is a satisfying and excellent food for Liver/Gall Bladder system support.
And one more small thing: We all know that flowers are at their peak when they blossom. Buds contain the "condensed energy" of the flower in a similar way as an acorn contains a tree. Artichokes as a bud contain condensed energy in the same way that fiddleheads contain the condensed energy of the fern. Lots of energy is expended by the plant in opening and giving us its beautiful show. We can derive extra benefit from the stage of some flowers/plants when they are buds.

Add the sliced red pepper
As the red pepper wilts add the olives and scallions and toss the ingredients lightly
Sauté until everything is heated through.
TEAS
Sometimes the change of season from Winter to Spring or too much work can cause feelings of fatigue. This simple tea made from ingredients that are easy to find -- perhaps in your own pantry -- can be a refreshing restorative.
Put together 1 TB chopped, raw peanuts with the red skin still on and about 1 TB of chopped fresh ginger in 2 cups of cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat. Add 1 TB of Whole Leaf Black Tea, cover and let stand 5 minutes. Strain and drink. . .sweeten a bit, if you like.
Health Topic: Eyes In TCM, the eyes are the opening for the Liver. While the hallmark of the Spring/Liver season is openings/beginnings/emerging, the tensions and stresses of our day-to-day lives may cause us to narrow our focus mentally/emotionally and this narrowing is often reflected in our visual systems as well. When we are tense and stressed, we close down and contract and that tension may be reflected in our eyes. Perhaps they become red, itchy or tired feeling. We may get "floaters" or slightly blurry vision. Remember, the eyes reflect our Liver function. If we remember a time when we were completely relaxed (it could have been now), we will recall that our eyes were gently focused without strain. When we are relaxed, we are involved in opening, emerging. When we look at our eyes in this state, they are clear and bright. Additionally, when completely relaxed, the eyes are not "going out there" to see. Rather, relaxed, open eyes, allow the world in naturally with a fairly broad peripheral vision.
Seasonal Self-massage: Relaxing the Eyes with Palming This exceptionally simple technique, deeply relaxes the eyes, leaving them feeling refreshed and free of strain. Palming can be done almost anywhere, including your desk at work. Sitting with your back straight, shoulders relaxed (or lying down), gently rub your hands together for a minute to warm the palms. Let your eyelids close and place the heel of your hands on your cheekbones. Slightly cupping your hands, let your fingers fall gently over the "third eye" area of your forehead and one hand crosses over the other. Do not put any pressure on your eyeballs. Your thumbs should fall naturally alongside of the outside of your eyes. Keep your fingers together so that no light enters between them. Your breath is natural, without strain or special attention. Try to do this for at least 3 minutes at a time. This is especially helpful for people who spend long periods of time at a computer screen.
Wishing you good health! Remember to smile at all things.

Beautiful villas are build out of Adobe (Mud and sticks)with thatched roofs ,that are supremely insulated. http://www.world-housing.net/uploads/adobe.pdf?pr=Array http://www.kstrom.net/isk/maps/houses/pueblo.html http://sicarius.typepad.com/althouse/2007/07/adobe-floors.html
Very green housing partly with living roofs to blend in with the environment. Maximum 3 stories high,including a basement. a perfect example of this type of development is described by William McDonough: The wisdom of designing at the end of this tape,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoRjz8iTVoo
William McDonough is an Architect who designed a city in China that blended totally into the landscape ,the farmland ending on top of all the equal level roofs ,with the farmers moving about on bridges
All the rooms would have the sun at least once a day,The city to utilize all their own byproducts as gas for cooking or compost With solar energy to power the lot
The land above would produce all the food and meat for the city
A totally auto sufficient concept ,with agriculture build in in a sustainable way.
A beautiful solution to Urban spread,(Be patient ,he does not go into this until the very end of the video)
LIVING ROOFS is a great solution to utilizing space as well as insulation against either heat or cold ,for the accomodations, green lawns is extravegant unless you got a goat grazing up there (got friends in south Africa who got that)
It means slightly different construction with concrete roofs at a very gentle slope (for drainage) damp coursing the concrete with black plastic,(Although the Aztezs used moss) installing irrigation systems.and leaving easy ways up to the roof ,with ramps
The walls and reinforced corner pillars must be of sufficiant strengh to support the extra weight ,as should the cross beams under the roof . If you decide to go the full living roof way which means at least 1/4 of a meter of soil to support the weight of the wet soil. No more than 3 stories is recommended before doing the living roof .
have the slope in a Northern direction to make full use of the sun(depending which hemisphere you are in,,and so that you could also incorporate solar panels.
But you can also put lots of flowerpots up if you just want some flowers ,standing on planks (the simple small way)
URBANISATION IN A SUSTAINABLE ,AUTOSUFICIENT & HEALTHY MANNER
Why this is recomended
They did some experiments with rats in highrise building conditions and after the 3rd story they began to get weird by the time they were on twenty they went insane and ate their own babies .
this gives you some idea what the bosses must be like in the penthouse offices
So 3 stories is a reasonable healthy hight for humans they have discovered BOTH MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH
so we cannot put to many people on top of each other technically it is an impossible task to ensure a continues supply of good air for everybody and the mental effects are drastic , but we can blend people into and under the landscape
More ideas on Eco Housing are Earthships http://www.earthship.org/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rlrhxqat_6A http://www.earthships.com/ http://www.greenhomebuilding.com/earthship.htm
Imagine a home that heats itself, that provides its own water, that grows its own food. Imagine that it needs no expensive technology, that it recycles its own waste, that it has its own power source. And now imagine that it can be built anywhere, by anyone, out of the things society throws away.
Thirty years ago, architect Michael Reynolds imagined just such a home – then set out to build it. A visionary builder Reynolds has been fighting ever since to bring his concept to the public. He believes that in an age of ecological instability and impending natural disaster, his buildings can – and will – change the way we live.

It's Very difficult to Establish the first Moment in time that someone realized how to harness the energy of a renewable energy source.What We do Recognize is that it is not a new idea and We have a lot of options for turning to a green Energy Solution.
Solar
The Original System of renewable energy ever used was Almost certainly solar power. From prehistoric times, people have known to lay raw food on flat rocks to warm it, even though this might not technically be considered cooking. The Original solar cooker . recorded was built by Horace de Saussure in the 1760s, and he was able to reach a temperature of about 230 degrees inside the cooker
Wind
Wind power had been used for sailing long before we can Take into account, and the Original windmill which used wind power to Mince grain, is said that it most likely came out of Persia in 500 to 900 AD.
Hydroelectric
Thousands of years ago the Greeks used water wheels, which picked up water in buckets around a wheel. The water's Mass caused the wheel to spin, converting kinetic energy into mechanical energy for grinding grain and pumping water. In the 1800s the water wheel was frequently used to power machines such as Wood-cutting saws in European and American factories. More notably, people realized that the weight of water falling from a height would spin a turbine connected to a generator to Manufacture electricity. Niagara Falls , a natural waterfall, powered the first hydroelectric plant in 1879.
Biomass
Biomass Energy is one of the oldest fuel sources around.I guess From the time when we have learned how to Strike a fire. We have burned wood for a very extensive time Up until the 1880's American used wood for 91% of all its energy supplies Then, in 1890 coal replaced wood for heating. By the 1930's half of all Americans lived in buildings heated with coal
Geothermal
The story of geothermal power can be traced back to Greater than 10,000 years ago to the American Paleo-Indians at their Village in hot springs. This Story has been exposed through the Assistance of archeology and shows the Indians used the hot springs for activities including, bathing and heating. It is also Alleged the springs were seen as a Therapeutic source
Tidal
people have harnessed the Great energy created by the force of waves since as early as 787 AD. The first wave generators were known as tide mills, and they were used in Spain, France, and England. They used water wheels to capture energy from the ebb and Course of tides
Magnetic
The roots of human awareness of Value of magnetic energies in the existence of people and the World itself go deep back into ancient times. Prominent ancient Scholar Pythagoras (599 BC)
We all have a responsibility to Future generations to help insure that we are taking care of our earth so they have the the same opportunities as we do.The Goal is to get started on the Route To help Establish our own energy
The world is potentially at the Stage of being self sustainable. We Maintain the technology to develop energy to power houses with sustainable resources such as solar and wind but the Price of these products are still what is holding us back. One such product which is making leaps and bounds is the Magnetic Generator. These have been on the market for quite a period but with Latest developments they are much more Inexpensive and efficient and make sense to have in your home.
