Hello, hi, bonjour etc. to all!
I only reckon that I may how come up with a way to produce energy with no combustion fuel which makes its pollution FREE!!
I know what your thinking...what planets is this guy on etc. cause it already exists right??
i.e solar power, wind turbines, tidal, hydro and wave.
the thing is with the above they have flaws ....
solar:- dont work well on cloudy days and cant produce enough juice.
wind:- noisy ugly things that only work in certain places, ruins tv reception and only produce the goods when windy of course
tidal:- extremely expensive and only works in certain places but does produce loadsa power
hydro:- ok but limited to certain places plus can have a dramatic effect on the local wildlife. also costs s*@%loads to build.
wave:- quality idea but suitable sites needed and only works when waves are available.
So what am I bangin on about then is I guess the next question rite?
I've thought of a way to make a power plant which is hydro based but does not require any river or sea. In fact its stationary water that will be moved by itself and forever keep moving by itself therefore never needing to refuel and doesnt depend on anything but itself!!
I'm posted this thread to ask if anyone could help me do some calculations please???
I would like to know:
1- How much energy does a general power station produce in a month? (whether its nuclear or fossil fuel based dont matter just average will do)
2- How much water pressure is required to turn a/some turbine(s) in a/some generator(s) to produce that much power in a month?
As corny as this sounds but knowing this info is potentially the begining of another path to saving the world! There I said it! but just imagine zero pollution or minimal heat produced from power stations - the impact it could have on the greenhouse effect and electric cars are round the corner in all (GM Hy-wire) so there'd be no guilt of driving them.
The only two main worries I got are:-
1-The idea I got is SO flippin simple that its more than likely been thought of I reckon. The only thing is I've spent alota time looking around for my design of powerplant and I can't find anywhere which makes me wonder.....??? Could someone have thought of it but found that it was too expensive to make, too impractical or simply it was just scientifically/mathematically impossible to do or something?? either way I am respectfully reluctant to divulge the design at this moment in time
2-Funding the damn project if its worthwile (one step at a time though eh)
I'm not really a science nut, I did study A level physics though but didnt get far in it. I did it years ago and am very rusty at physics calculations. My A level teacher was a right bitch and wernt very helpful so if something come about this then I would so be loving it!!
Anyway if your still awake after reading all that waffle and can assist in this great cause then please do
kind regards SM82
