Welcome to the GE Ecomagination Challenge. Clean Legacy wishes to use this opportunity to say hello and introduce ourselves. Our concept, the Skylight PP-CPV from Clean Legacy and prolific Inventor John L. Coulson finished respectably in the top 20 of the Challenge. For all of us at Clean Legacy and we hope for you and all of our many fellow Challengers, this experience is now paying off in ways we only imagined. Thanks GE! Hits on our website @ www.webstarts.com/IamInventor and emails to IamInventing@gmail.com with requests for more info and offers to join our project have been exceptional since joining the Challenge. To learn more about what we are developing or if we can be of any assistance to you and your project please do not hesitate to drop us an email. Best regards and success to you all! Cheers! - JLC - Founder/Inventor - The Clean Legacy Group - IamInventing@gmail.com

Another ludicrous idea! This competition is a train-wreck.

IT IS A NICE PROJECT.

Not to be a downer here but assume X > Y, where X is the amount of energy you put into "creating wind" and Y is the amount of energy you get from it. If you are having to generate the driving force that powers the device you are automatically losing energy, no physical system is even 100% efficient let alone 110% which is what ideas like this require. Point being the tug with it's friction in the tires to road/axle..., even given a high efficiency engine will always use more energy than would be created by a system like this (wind turbines have a theoretical limit to efficiency). Not trying to bash because I know its just an idea being thrown out there for everyone's benefit but try to think more about what energy is already out there instead of what energy you could create by combining things that already use energy. I've been thinking about these issues for a long time and have learned now to dodge my own ideas that start to fall into this realm of using complex sets of machines to create energy, its just not physically possible. Instead I've learned that what I consider my "best" ideas, those that get closest to being something that could in fact be real and harness energy, tend to be about observing the change in nature. Change in itself requires energy therefore if you can capture the energy that creates the change but without destroying the necessary side affects (salmon need to make it upstream to breed) of the change then your in business. Glaciers, pressure differntials, strong currents, those types of things.

I appreciate your comments, and the reason you dont agree with my idea is because you have not seen the drawings since it will only be viewed by the judges;If they agree you will see the whole concept.

Ok, you said "The vehicle that I'll utilize as a tug will be a 300hp electric vehicle which will be kept charged from one of the windmills." That would be about equivalent to 225Kw (or more.) The bottom line is that you can't get more energy out of a system than you put in, and as a matter of fact you usually get substantially less. Systems have efficiencies which are only percentages of the total. Perhaps because I can't see your whole idea I am misunderstanding what you are proposing. Have a nice day!

I mentioned ten to 15 vertical axis windmills at 25 kw each not one at 225 kw

Why wait for the wind when you can create it indoors or outdoors.
Oct 3 2010 by allertsep12
You titled this idea as "without wind." I didn't calculate the 300hp, you said that is what you were going to use - just to turn the carousel. If you are going to have a group of windmills, why wouldn't you let them be stationary and just collect the wind energy as efficiently as possible? Finally, a 225Kw windmill is a pretty big windmill. So using that much electricity to turn your carousel would not be efficient. And, like shaun said above, as I tried to point out above, it appears you are putting more energy into creating the energy than you are getting out. Unless I am completely misunderstanding you, which is of course entirely possible, that would be a negative return. Might as well just go out to eat and read a book!

You calculated the 300 HP but did you calculate the Hp that the wind is creating as the carrousel circles around with at least 10 vertical axis wind turbines producing from 10 to 50 KW each.The tug plus the wind has more energy than what I am creating.
Oct 3 2010 by allertsep12
Let's see, 300HP would be about 225,000 watts, right? How much more energy than the amount you put in do you think you could make? Answer: less. Oops!

I thought of this idea when I was a kid and stuck a fan out of a car running at 10 MPH and the fan started to circulate; So, if you can circulate a carrousel with multiple vertical axis windmills mounted on top and running at a constant circulating speed you will be able to produce great amounts of electricity. The vehicle that I'll utilize as a tug will be a 300hp electric vehicle which will be kept charged from one of the windmills.

Congratulations, your idea looks like one of the last ones submitted. Good luck. I hope many of these great ideas can be implemented soon. My idea might help:
