Texas Wind Power

Name: WillGlenn

Location:

Category: Create: Renewables

Overview: Using wind power in Texas to produce oxygen and hydrogen from non drinkinfg water for the burning of hydrogen and oxygen to produce power at peak times. The oxygen and hydrogen will be placed in separate empty gas wells. This is the best method to use wind power in Texas.

It is big pleasure to knows Your interesting idea...

I am glad that through you I know a lot of interesting ideas. The GE competition has allowed to show a sufficiently large and untapped potential of human thought ... Best and warm regards from Poland Andrzej Wasowski

At your request it is pleasure tu show You an abbreviated version of
the video on the applications of my invention...

I hope You liked my idea of cheap, efficient and simple
to perform Stirling Engine...

These are interesting ideas. However, before I can vote, 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.

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. Great caution is indicated.

Your idea is great. You are an innovator. You‘ve got my last-minute vote. Remember that we all have equal opportunities because getting the highest number of votes those not qualify one to be among the five recipients of the $100,000 award. Take a look at my idea on “off-grid photovoltaic arrays:”

Good luck!

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,

T. Boone Pickens has already cornered the Texas Wind Power industry......maybe he can adapet some of his units for producing hydrogen....

You have a great idea! I like it a lot. Could you check my idea out at http://challenge.ecomagination.com/ct/ct_a_view_idea.bix?c=ideas&idea_id=366287A6-4E39-4D9F-BCC4-F23283CC18BE and vote for mine as well. Thank you so much! -Mike

Hi,
My vote to you.
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.
