Category: Create: Renewables
Overview: JPods Networks automate repetitive urban transport via robot vehicles suspended from overhead rail. People and cargo move on-demand using about 1/10th the energy of cars/buses/trains. Solar collectors mounted over the rails gather 5,000 to 20,000 vehicle-miles of power per mile
of rail per day.

For decades we've all been mislead with the notion that window dressing was an effective method in blocking sunlight from heating up the interior of our homes. Those mini blinds and curtains are great interior decors, but by no means, are they effective in keeping your home cool during those hot summer months. Blocking sunlight from inside has one major defect, solar thermal energy. As we continue to drift into an era of rising energy prices, an increase in demands for low energy consumption products such as External Window Guards will be a very profitable household technology. Besides helping to lower energy consumption, EWGs will also be extremely beneficial both economically and environmentally.
Economically, if properly financed for research and development, the production of EWGs will have an enormous impact on our economy. Each panel consists of various moving parts requiring several stages of industrial processes and much human intervention. This alone will create numerous new green energy jobs for Americans. Retail and installation services will also stimulate many new opportunities for businesses, independent contractors, builders, and developers all over.
Furthermore, EWGs primary purpose is to help lower energy consumption, but there are other environmental impacts. Consisting of 100% recycled material, EWGs will help slow down the growth of dump grounds. A magnetic floater encased in a vacuumed liquid capsule will perpetuate open and close automatically according to changing temperatures at zero energy consumption. This technical trademark will be the first of its kind, and will continue to benchmark zero energy consumption for the 21st century.
Socially, EWGs will provide extra security while adding protection during violent storms. A safety feature is installed in every set so that in case of an emergency, one can escape danger from within. Meanwhile, if forces are applied from outside, the blades will lock tightly to maintain its designed integrity. Establishing security has been and will always be an important basic human need. As a result, EWGs will be an important asset for every family, particularly during this era of uncertainty. Another beneficial contribution would be that EWGs will be a low cost modification to existing homes. This low cost home improvement project would be easy to install and will last a lifetime. It will also help to increase home values. Ultimately, EWGs will have no competition in a wide open market.
In conclusion, I have mentioned throughout this whole synopsis about many potential contributions that society may benefit from this idea. I have chosen GE to submit this Idea, primarily because of GE’s global impact on this type of product introduction. Nothing else will be more suitable for GE than EWGs, a profitable commodity that will carry a message unlike any other. Through GE, EWGs will definitely be a big hit.

Hi Bill,
“Achieving change is going to take imagination, big thinking and a radical shift in the way cities operate.
One important aspect will be making best use of the many new and emerging technologies that are available.
There needs to be more ‘big thinking’ on how cities structure projects and the procurement process to maximise the potential of these technologies.”
All our Best Wishes

CONGRATULATIONS FOR BEING INCLUDED IN GE’ TOP 100 IDEAS!
OUR SMALL AND HUMBLE SCIENCE AND RESEARCH GROUP IN THE PHILIPPINES IS HONORED AND INSPIRED ALSO FOR BEING CONSIDERED AS ONE OF THE TOP 100 IDEAS GE’S CHOICED!
OUR GROUP ARE CONTINOUSLY INVENTING MACHINES/DEVICES THAT WILL SOLVE GLOBAL ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS.
THE 1071/1072 APPARATUS IS ONE OF OUR SHARE IN PROVIDING SOLUTIONS TO SOLAR AND WIND PROBLEMS!
THIS APPARATUS IS FUELED BY SEA WATER ONLY CONVERTING IT TO TORCH FLAMES AND BLASTINGS WITHOUT PASSING THE PRINCIPLES OF ELECTROLYSIS! THERE ARE MANY APPLICATIONS OF THIS APPARATUS ONCE FULLY DEVELOPED AND MODIFIED INTO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS SPECIFICATIONS, SAFETY AND QUALITY!
WITH OUR INNOVATIONS IN THE HEATING TECHNOLOGY,
WE HAVE COME UP WITH FINISHED PROTOTYPES LIKE:
FLAT IRON USING ONLY 400 or 200 WATTS WITH THE SAME HEAT CAPACITY AS THAT OF THE STANDARD 1000 watts BRANDED FLAT IRON; (60 to 80% POWER SAVE)
BAINE MARIE FOOD WARMING EQUIPMENT THAT USES ONLY 150 WATTS PER TRAY AND WITHOUT WATER, ( 60-80% SAVINGS IN ENERGY AND TIME);
THE FASTBOILER, BOILING ONE LITER OF WATER AND OIL IN LESS ONE ( 1) MINUTE USING VERY LOW WATTAGES ( SAVINGS IN TIME AND ENERGY-60-70%);
ABSGADGET ELECTRIC SHOWER HEATER. A SAFETY DEVICE THAT EVEN WITHOUT ELECTRIC GROUNDING , AND EVEN THE LIVE WIRE CONTACT THE WATER, THE SHOWER IS STILL BE USED 100% SAFEtY!
INCOMING APPARATUS ( THE 1073/1074 )
ADVANCE THAN 1071 1072, ARE NOW IN OUR SMALL LABORATORY FOR PEFECTIONS OF THE PROTOTYPE! THIS WILL AGAIN OUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO MANKIND FOR ANOTHER RENEWABLE ENERGY WHICH ARE ABUNDANT, THE AIR WE BREATHE, CONVERT INTO TORCH FLAME.
THERE ARE MANY APPLICATIONS OF THIS 1073/1074 APPARATUS ONCE PERFECTED IN TO EACH HIGH SPECIFICATIONS, STANDARDS, AND SAFETY FOR THE BENEFITS OF ALL FORMS OF LIFE AND THE CONVENIENCE AND SAFETY OF MANKIND AND OUR ENVIRONMENT!
WE ARE NOT SAYING WE ARE THE ONLY SOLUTIONS,
BUT WE ARE PART CONTRIBUTING LITTLE THINGS TO GET SOLUTIONS IN ENERGY CRISIS.
WE ARE WILLING TO COLLABORATE TO GREAT IDEAS LIKE YOU, TO FORM AN IMMEDIATE POWERFUL SOLUTIONS TO THE BIG THREAT OF GLOBAL WARMINGS FOR THE PROTECTIONS OF OUR ENVIRONMENT!
WE ARE PRAYING THAT ALL GREAT IDEAS WILL BE SUPPORTED NOT ONLY BY GE BUT ALL NATIONS, PHILANTROPISTS, BILLIONAIRES WITH GREAT RESOURCES TO MAKE ALL GREAT IDEAS A REALITY!

Congratulations on your successful completion of the first round of the GE challenge! We are now in the second round; the period of judging and results. Your idea will contribute to the transformation of energy sector.
In the “Connect” category, GE is seeking breakthrough ideas to improve grid efficiency by three means: reducing losses, reducing voltage and improving system reliability. I will take these three solutions one by one.
First, delivery losses occur due to the complexity of the grid. The grid consists of several energy sources which are interconnected. This complex interconnectivity which also includes a grid-tie inverter (that converts DC power from the grid to AC power) contributes to the reduction of the expected capacity of the grid. The grid capacity needs to be freed up. The solution to these losses is by using an off-grid photovoltaic array which operates independently; it is not connected to other energy sources or the grid. It is more efficient. It has its own simple stand-alone inverter, rechargeable storage battery (to serve during off-peak periods) and a charge controller (to prevent the battery from overcharging).
Second, over-delivery of energy is a technical phenomenon associated with grid-related systems. It occurs due to increase in power drawn from the grid. This makes consumers or subscribers to the grid pay for unused energy; they usually pay a higher rate. The solution to this is by using an off-grid photovoltaic array because it has a fixed or rated capacity and output; it is not interfered by other energy sources. This solution is economical because consumers do not have to pay for bills or overcharged bills.
Third, system unreliability results from power outages due to poor identification and isolation of faults. These faults affect the entire system and may lead to power outage of a city or a larger region. The solution to this is by using off-grid photovoltaic arrays because it can easily be maintained and faults can easily be detected. Even if faults were not detected on time, the power outage would only affect a single building or premises and not an entire city.
Please, critically analyze and comment on my idea: “off-grid photovoltaic arrays.” From your opinion, is my idea feasible? Will it potentially make a significant impact on the global energy challenges we face?
Thanks and good luck.

So far I have contributed nothing.
I have challenged your efforts or you.
I voted for you, though… Now kindly
Do vote for my project, too.
My effort does not compete,
It’s meant to magnify yours,
While honoring the efforts of GE
And changing Energy’s course.
My project can well propel yours
Into the sky and the blue.
Just click on this link and then vote.
Perhaps some of your dreams will come true.
