Can Bill Gates show the world how to get cheap energy?

He can’t even produce an affordable, reliable, and secure (protected against viruses, spam ware etc) version or Windows. We’re still paying a fortune for Windows with it’s service packs.

How can he show the world how to get cheap energy. He claims what he really wants is clean energy at half its current cost. To do that, he said, we’ll need new technology.

Large natural gas reserves from shale rock in Pennsylvania – cheap energy and jobs?

How can Obama kill this industry? Get EPA to shut it down.? How will he ruin this source of cheap energy?

If you had access to very cheap energy, what use would you give to it?

I mean, if you can access to really cheap energy (electric and thermal), what kind of industrial aplication would you give to it, so you get a competitive advantage in that industry?

How to calculate power consumption?

I would like to setup a solar + Battery solution for time lapse photography.
How do I tell what battery i would need to run my camera during night time hours and solar panel to charge it during daylight hours.
I was looking at this package http://store.sundancesolar.com/20wadosoenst.html However, how will I know (or approximate) how much the battery will drain while no light is available and how long it will take to recharge to full capacity?

Any help or starting point is appreciated.
Thanks very much for the info!!! this is awesome.

So am I right to calculate that the maximum draw in this system could be ~3amps before draining off more than can be replenished??
Which would be….4W?

Satellite photography that helps with everything from land development to monitoring changes in global climate.

And for those phonies who are gonna say it was faked why dont you go ask mythbusters.

In the free energy equation. ΔG = ΔH – TΔS, the symbol T refers to?

In the free energy equation. ΔG = ΔH – TΔS, the symbol T refers to. (A) time in seconds. (C) Celsius temperature. (B) time in hours. (D) Kelvin temperature

How do you solve for temperature with a Gibbs Free Energy equation?

The question:

For CdO(s) SO3(g) => CdSO4(s)
DHo = -279.4 kJ
DSo = -118.4 J/K

What is the temperature at which Keq is 1.0E4?

Answer is 1433 K

How do you get this answer and which equations did you use?

What does the 2.303 stand for in Gibbs free energy equation?

In the equation:
ΔG = -RT(lnKeq)

when you try to switch the equation to get Keq, you get:

logKeq= -ΔG/ (-2.303) RT

I’m confused about where this 2.303 comes from. Is it a constant? Thanks, in advance.

What are creative, economical ways to set up a booth at an Energy Fair?

We attend multiple Energy Fairs each year. Our product and services include Energy-Free homes and solar systems. We want to stress our energy-free homes being affordable, healthy, safe, and beautiful. In the past we have used a big 6′x6′ canvas with numerous pictures of past homes we have built. We are looking to do something different to draw people in more effectively and better hit their hot buttons of affordable, healthy, safe, and beautiful. Any creative ideas on possible display set-ups or things to show people to attract them?

Thank you!

In this time of energy conservation, why aren’t more states creating rail systems?

The trains on the East Coast are efficient, fast and affordable, and mostly electric. Why doesn’t this exist between more cities in the central states?

What does “to supply disruptions” mean?

—————————————————
Soaring energy prices and recent geopolitical events have reminded us of the essential role affordable energy plays in economic growth and human development, and of the vulnerability of the global energy system *to supply disruptions*.

free energy?

i need help can any one define “free energy” also known as gibbs free energy assosiated with activation energy without plagerising. i dont understand it at all but need to define it!!!

Free energy?

Ok, here is the problem…
As shown in the equation below, nitrogen oxide, NO, is common pollutant that is produced by the reaction of nitrogen and oxygen gases. Since these gases are the major components of air, nitrogen oxideresults when air is heated in furnaces, motor engine cylinders, or other high temperature combustion areas.
N2 (g) + O2 (g) 2 NO (g)
A. Given that the standard enthalpy of formation for NO2 (g) is 90.25 KJ/mole and using the absolute entropies listed below, calculate the free energy change for this reaction at 25 degrees celcius. Is this reaction product favores at 25 degrees celcius?
Absolute entropies
N2 (g) 191.5 J/mol times K O2 (g) 205.0 J/mole times K
NO (g) 210.7 J/mol times K

B. If the reaction is not product-favored at 25 degrees celcius, determine under what conditions it would be product favored.
Show ALL work.

Thanks for any help I can get!

What is the difference between standard gibbs free energy change and gibbs free energy change?

I am confused between standard gibbs free energy change and gibbs free energy change. Aren’t both the change in gibbs free energy of the system when reactants are converted completely, or 100 %, to products? Why does the change in gibbs free energy of the reaction change as the reactioin progresses, but the standard gibbs free energy change is the same no matter what.

I need a qualitative explanation more than a quantitative one. Thanks!

03102011-CP – Cerebral Palsy Day.?

Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy

The symptoms of Cerebral Palsy depend upon the location and degree of damage to the brain. In mild instances, only a slight awkwardness might be evidenced. In severe cases, children may be unable to use their limbs, completely dependent on caregivers, or profoundly mentally retarded. There are several general categories of CP, which include include spastic, athetoid, ataxic, and mixed varieties.

70-80% of CP cases are considered spastic. In spastic cerebral palsy, the patients muscles are permantently contracted. Patients with leg spasticity often develop “scissors-gait”—in which their knees bend inward and nearly touch while walking.
10-20% of CP cases are athetoid. Unlike patients with spastic CP, affected muscles of patients with athetoid CP fail to contract normally, often resulting in uncontrollable drooling.
5-10% of CP patients have ataxic CP. Primarily, ataxics have poor balance and depth perception.
A small percentage of patients with CP will display a combination of spastic, athetoid, and ataxic symptoms. This is known as mixed CP.

Most patients with CP have motor impairment in their legs, but many also have impaired arm movement. To indicate which limbs are affected most, the terms diplegia, paraplegia, quadriplegia, and hemiplegia are used.

In paraplegia, the legs but not the arms are affected.
In hemiplegia the limbs on one side of the body are affected.
In diplegia, both legs are affected as are both arms, but to a lesser degree than the legs.
In quadriplegia, all four limbs are affected equally.
Acupressure techniques & Indian Natural Remedies can be tried safely. How?
In terms of acupressure concept–CP is an offshoot of blocked energy in the brain and spinal cord.

TARGET THERAPY* for any incurable disease including cancer, HIV/AIDS, Thalassemia, Muscular Dystrophy, Autism, Tinnitus, CP etc., —it should aim @ [3] steps.
1. Removal of toxins from all internal organs & purging through Normal Drainage systems, feces, urine, menses[females], skin, lungs and vomiting.
• 2. Activating all the internal organs to make each & every organ to function up to optimum levels.
3. Supplying vitamins, nutrients, micro-nutrients, minerals, trace elements for invigorating the entire Immune system to produce antibodies.

•
• Acupressure techniques & Indian Natural Remedies [comprising Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Bio-chemic salts, Herbal Remedies, Yoga/Meditation, Magneto-therapy, Sidha, etc.,] can meet all the requirements.
• Acupressure Techniques—NO SIDE EFFECTS. NO HOSPITALIZATION. Costs Affordable even by the poor. An acupressure Therapeutist can, not only diagnose any disease instantaneously, but, also prevent/treat any disease & or the affected organ[s] with the aid of Indian natural remedies. All stipulated instructions must be followed most religiously. The % of success depends upon the extent of compliance.
4. U may try acupressure techniques and natural remedies strictly for 45 days and If U find any perceivable improvements, U may continue it for another 45 days and so on until U have total cure.

Any expert in Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Sidha, Unani, can offer remedies to benefit scores of thousands of victims of CP?

Why can 110 diferent designers come up with 100 mpg vehicles, while the big four are can’t come up with one?

The Progressive Automotive X Prize Competition and its $10 million in prizes, www.progressiveautoxprize.org.This quote is found at http://www.progressiveautoxprize.org/about/supporters/
“I am certain that the Automotive X Prize will do even more to inspire a new generation of fuel-efficient cars and further advance the concept of sustainable transportation… please know that I intend for San Francisco to participate in the RFP process and compete to win one of the Host City positions.” Mayor Gavin Newsom, City of San Francisco, end quote.
I was excited but not surprised to have come across this interview on Tree Hugger Radio, from 3-5-09, with Peter Diamondis, founder of the X Foundation. By Jacob Gordon, Nashville Tennessee
http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/03/th-radio-peter-diamandis-1.php TreeHugger: In 2008, at the New York Auto Show, the Automotive X Prize was officially announced. Can you tell us what the competion is about and what’s at stake?
Diamandis: What’s at stake is the future of the cars that we drive. The basic message behind the Progressive Automotive X Prize is that you can have it all: you can have a car that’s beautiful, safe, affordable, fast, and goes over a hundred miles per gallon or its energy equivalent. We’ve been driving the same old cars for a hundred years and technology has changed tremendously.
My daughter is eleven years old and has learned a lot about this from Fuel Our Future Now; partnered with the X Foundation and funded by a $3.5 million grant to follow the Automotive X Prize races in the classroom. www.fuelourfuturenow.com – This is all food for thought.

Tell me if this invention would be marketable.?

I am sure many people deal with the issue of constantly having to cary around a laptop power cable because you lose your charge. For example you have your charger upstairs but carry your laptop downstairs then you get the message that your power is low and have to go get your cable. my solution is to make a laptop that can recharge itself somewhat. The concept is kind of like a hybrid car.

The laptop would be recharged by key taps or mouse scrolls. i will focus on key taps here. everytime you press a key down it converts that energy into power for the laptops battery. I do not yet know what devices could preform such a task or if the energy drawn would even be enough to charge it at all. i am assuming that from 2 hours of usage you could generate enough power for another 30 minutes or so. There could also just be an extra key you can press when you have nothing to type but desperately need the power. Would you be interested in such a product? do you think this is possible? i have already field for a patent, but it remains to be seen if it can be done in an affordable manner. If anybody would like to join in on this and has knowledge of the components necessary let me know. Thanks.
i couldn’t agree more with poster #1. i will be seriously smacking myself in the head when this is made by hp or something in the near future and i missed out on the opportunity to revolutionize the computer industry.

Where can I buy cheap Rockstar Energy Drinks in Calgary?

I usually look in safeway, sometimes they have drinks for half price when they’re trying to get rid of them. Anyone else seen cheap energy drinks around calgary?

Where can I find energy drinks cheap?

Right now my moms at walmart. Can I get energy drinks cheap there? or anywhere else?

I am attempting to start an Internet radio station geared towards opensource music. Can anyone help me?

I’m attempting to form an internet radio where opensource musicians can share their work and receive donations from those individuals who wish to support their art. However, I need donations in order to simply get the thing started, and am not having any luck. I’m not seeking donations here, only asking what the best way to start generating an income in order to get the site off the ground, as well as advice on how to effectively attract opensource musicians. So far, I can’t get any advice out of anyone and it’s getting very frustrating.

The plan is to have artist pages (somewhat like Newgrounds) with PayPal donation buttons for each individual artist, as well as a donation button for the site as a whole. I’d take a 5% commission on individual donations, and anything donated to the site as a whole would be split up among all artists who were active when the donation was made (5% of that figure also being retained for overhead). Is this reasonable? Please help!

What else is there to do? – urgent! serious answers please!?

I’m at my wits end. I’m your average working Joe, I HAVE a full time job, my wife is going on Maternity leave again for the 4th time (I think this time permanently). We’re maxed out on our mortgage. We have no credit cards, 2 needed vehicles (with payments that they are not worth the vehicles, so to sell, we would still be behind…a lot), 3 kids under 5 with one on the way…soon. Bills are behind, the phones been cut off along with cells. cable, hydro, gas and phone companies are at our doors. There is NO time to get a second job (even if there were any available). My question: What else can I do to generate extra income, I have $0 to invest in anything, I’ve looked at internet based businesses, but you need $ to start anything, which I do not have. Aside from claiming bankruptcy or robbing a bank…what else can I do, I’m at the end of my rope, my marriage is teetering, and its all because of money and lack thereof. I need help and quick before I loose my house, cars and/or family…Please

What’s the best way to get the news about nearly-free energy electric cars out to Third World countries?

Canada, says that Revived Batteries could provide nearly-free energy to Third World countries, for people who won’t be able to afford the $60,000+ electric cars. As the newspaper writers said, this is one of the solutions to global warming and climate change, and these Vancouver guys are fans of Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” and “Who Killed The Electric Car”.

This info should be passed to appropriate agencies in other countries because the guys in Vancouver might be interested in teaching people to do this.

The fulltext of the article is below, as well as links to the two
newspaper articles.
