extra power storage

[tesla man]

Now that your wind genny is up and running, and the batteries are all charged, what do you do with ANY excess electrical power?

These articles may point you to an answer:

notice (buried in the details) how the addition of even a SMALL amount of

pure H2, will produce extremely low emissions, when combusting these gases..

and that ANY organic material, produces "feed-stock" for the process..

lets examine (quickly) how this works:

by passing a minimal amount of electricity (35 volts dc, at 10 amperes,

minimum) > easily within the range of a common car alternator..) between two

carbon electrodes, produces an arc (lightning) that reaches about 7000 F

degrees (even under water..) add any organic (carbon based) matter (raw

sewage, compost, etc) and the entire mixture breaks down into simple

hydrocarbons, and other  flammable gases : h2, co, etc.

whenever we burn a hydrocarbon, WITH H2, we get a chemical reaction that

removes the carbon (H2 loves to bind with carbon) we get very low co2 output

in the exhaust.. mostly water..

so we now  have a reliable, simple, efficient (we can still extract the heat

from the manufacturing process)  low pollution (as compared to modern

systems: gasoline, coal, natural gas combustion, etc) sustainable, renewable

fuel, with very little technology shift (works with current technologies :

internal combustion engines, catalytic converters, etc)

I suspect that increased high temp materials, and pressure vessels, will

only improve the efficiency, as time progresses..

by using raw sewage, we can generate the fuels, and sterilize the sewage

(9000 F degree heat) at the SAME time...

expect this technology to be adopted by third world countries, rapidly..

everybody, and their dog, will be making these in their garage workshop....

 the carbon rod generator sounds interesting. nothing about the rate of consumption of carbon rods. from a total energy consumed viewpoint i reckon bio diesel might still have the edge IF someone can get it to work with ethanol rather than methanol. until then we are still in hock to big oil. might be worth trying to run a tesla turbine on this gas. they are supposed to have a much higher effiecency than piston engines. just dont mention zero point energy or over unity devices.
