Since you are working in the hydro or related energy areas, here are my usual comments which I deem to be of GREAT IMPORTANCE, to which kindly respond:

As we embark on this global alternative-energy adventure it is important, FROM THE OUTSET, that with wind or water turbines, for instance, all wildlife (BIRDS, FISHES, and others - swimming or diving, flying and climbing etc) be protected with alarm or protection devices (even special colors, paints, fluorescents etc perhaps?) and which also be well maintained and kept in good repair ........

SOME OF YOU SCIENTISTS AND INVENTORS PLEASE INVENT SUCH METHODS OR DEVICES !!! ..... It might be the best thing you could do, and you might become famous and/or rich, even if you were not to win in this competition……..

Considerable MULTIDISCIPLINARY considerations must go into ALL ENERGY PROJECTS today. This type of thinking is an ABSOLUTE MUST today, with global population size soon reaching the TEN billion (10,000,000,000) people mark at current growth rates…! JUST 200 YEARS AGO, THINGS WERE STILL DIFFERENT. Until then, global population was under ONE billion. In fact, it was less than HALF that number (1/2 billion people) throughout more than 99% of our human existence on earth...!!! The planet is overly stressed now…! ….

When it comes to biomass, perhaps we might ask: Can byproducts from energy conversion be utilized to replenish the earth with NATURAL nutrients from the organic fertilizers they might provide for exhausted soils, for agriculture, edible gardening, and other purposes (pastures, lawns, flower gardens, reforestation, new forests, new arable land, etc) and not just as effluents to be dumped carelessly into streams where they may not be needed or even become a nuisance……. And can we preserve valuable animal dung in its natural, live form that nourishes soil-restoring microbes and earth worms, to be applied to the earth (as in organic gardening and agriculture)? This methodology has existed ever since animal life appeared above and on land……

ALSO, therefore, if we all reflect on our actions, inventions, and activities before we engage in them, and if we reduce our birth rates, put our thinking hats on instead of being indifferent, pro-create responsibly rather than mindlessly, then we can make it; our offspring can then have a future, and we can de-stress the planet, our kids, and ourselves…….

WE MUST NOT continue pushing other creatures out of existence, or waste precious materials by misusing and not recycling them while we continue to pollute the waters or the air...! ….

ADDITIONALLY: Large numbers of SMALL WINDMILLS or SMALL WATER TURBINES that have INEFFECTIVE or NO PROTECTIVE DEVICES AT ALL could potentially HURT flying or swimming and diving wildlife even MORE than large ones…!?

Another concern I have is that in the area of biofuel, the temptation is great to genetically modify plants to GMOs to make them even more suitable or higher yielding for biofuel production. This is extremely hazardous on "edibles" (corn, soybeans, and the like, if genetically crossed with non-plant material such as bacterial DNA) and it could upset the ecological balance even for plants that are not consumed, plus endanger our bees… Great caution is indicated.

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.

Great! What role can my WINDGRABBER / WATERHUGGER Technologies contribute to your concepts and ideas?

Again I get in touch with you this amazing contest participant developed by GE to ask once again the votes of those not yet voted on my main idea is that: I intend to use a stirling engine to use the gas produced in gasifier biomass and capture the carbon dioxide emitted in a chemical reaction that will produce fertilizer. I struggle to try to develop here in northern Brazil where more than 3 million people have no access to electricity and all its benefits. I know that everyone is fighting for his ideas and therefore once again ask your support as necessary to help these people improve their living conditions, and the reduction of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere in power generation
Good luck to all in the final,

Yes, if you wish to discuss on my green & zero emission multi Mega Watt electricity (No No No….it’s not free energy) concept in all terrain!! Truly a new & more sustainable way, and could next to other good green energy source are in use. Come on, we are in challenge with our different ideas!!!
Please feel free to ask any related question if any.
Thanks and Regards.

GOOD LUCK AND BEST WISHES FOR YOUR IDEAS! TO BE IN THIS CHALLENGES IS ALREADY A WINNER! LET’S ALL GREAT,REALISTIC,COST EFFICIENT, AND ALL IDEAS WITH GREAT IMPACT BE UNITED AND IMMEDIATELY IMPLEMENTED TO MAKE IT A REALITY FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN AND OUR BELOVED PLANET EARTH!

Interesting idea,
You have my support, I would also appreciate your vote to help increase the awareness to our concept.

You have a great idea! I am so glad that GE decided to do this challenge; it really has brought the best ideas in the world together so that we can all see them and think about better ways to solve our problems with energy.
May I suggest that without an affordable, very robust, wireless telecommunications infrastructure to support many of these ideas to tie them together; it will be very difficult to see them have the impact on the world that we would all like to see. I would be very glad to see your idea come into existence and then be connected to the global grid somehow to help so many people.
My idea would facilitate the connection – we believe we are on the cutting edge of a revolution that brings telecommunications and energy together.
Would you join me as I have supported you and vote for my idea as well. I would be deeply appreciative if you would help me get these energy ideas connected together with our ideas and yours:

and vote for mine as well. Thank you so much! -Mike

Hi,
All ideas are here with various merits and we all are responsible to make change the way of power we live. You are right, till date we are drawing power from Grid, and I have a strong hope to power the grid after / along with our uses. My Idea is a new way to generate multi Mega Watt power, further more, you can count this concept other than wind and solar etc. My concept is as powerful as a hydro project. I have small individual version for Killo Watt consumers and accordingly, I have a full new series of zero emission electricity generating products and projects, and suitable for any terrain, any country, any city, any village, low cost.....etc. Please ask if you have some more questions related to my idea/concept. http://challenge.ecomagination.com/ct/ct_a_view_idea.bix?c=ideas&idea_id=6196F5FE-5D7A-4196-8238-99E6D4B2D636
I am looking for more support to create power from a new synchronized and powerful source. It also would multi-beneficial way for socioeconomic growth.
Thanks and Regards.
