43. The Josef Hasslberger Page: Tecno
    The energy section of the site contains two articles of interest on hydropower generation, based on the ideas and work of Viktor Schauberger.  
    http://www.hasslberger.com/tecno/tecno.htm
    
    Extractions: Deutsch Italiano The purpose of patents is to ensure the inventor gets the rightful monetary return for his efforts. However, through the examination process associated with patent applications, they have also been used to keep the technological status quo from advancing. Inventions that claim novel sources of energy which do not fit current theory get into serious trouble in the patent process. Of course there are exceptions, but many very bright inventors in the energy field have a sad story to relate. Energy technology has not advanced significantly for over a hundred years. We are still using the same internal combustion engines in our cars as our grandfathers, burning gasoline and diesel fuel like Otto and Rudolf Diesel, the inventors, in the beginning of the century. Electric motors have remained substantially equal to what was used in times of Faraday and Nikola Tesla, and even nuclear power stations are based on - steam technology(!) to turn the turbines. Windmills have been known for centuries in Holland and elsewhere and maybe the Portuguese of the 17th century were even more efficient than we are now in harnessing the tidal power of the sea. We are insisting on using up the earth's stores of fossil fuels to supply our energy needs. In addition to showing boundless greed on the part of some of our contemporaries, this is a very stupid thing to do as many of you will readily agree. We just do not know what we are causing by such a drastic exploitation of natural resources. What are we leaving to our children and their children?

    http://www.ece.umr.edu/links/power/reenergy.htm
    
    Extractions: Renewable energy - such as wind and solar energy - is energy that can never be used up. Unlike traditional energy fuel sources such as coal, oil and natural gas, which are finite, renewable sources are either infinite (the sun and wind) or constantly renewing, like municipal solid waste. Sources of Renewable Energy Biomass Geothermal Hydropower Photovoltaics ... Alternative Fuel Vehicles If you've ever enjoyed the warmth of a campfire, you've used biomass energy. Biomass uses the energy in organic matter such as plants. Other sources of biomass energy include agricultural and wood waste, municipal waste, and landfill gas. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratories, biomass supplies 3 percent of total U.S. energy needs, almost 10,000 MW of electric generating capacity (1993 figures). More about Biomass Energy Geothermal energy is used both for power generation and for heating. In 1990, the U.S. had 62 geothermal electric plants generating 2,350 MW of electricity. Geothermal power generation requires high-temperature resources that are found mostly in the western part of the county. Low-temperature (meaning less than 130°C) sources are more widespread and can be used in direct-use applications such as heat pumps, district heating, space heating and cooling, aquaculture, industrial processes and domestic hot water. Heat pumps are the fastest growing direct use application of geothermal power. More about Geothermal Energy One-half of all the renewable energy used in the United States today comes from hydropower. Hydropower uses the energy of flowing water to turn a turbine which in turn rotates a generator thus producing electricity. Hydropower spurred industrial development in the 19th century. In the 1930s, 30 percent of America's generating capacity came from hydro. Currently, hydro accounts for 12 percent of the country's generating capacity.

    hydropower energy from Moving Water. Of the renewable energy sources that generate electricity, hydropower is the most often used.  
    http://www.eia.doe.gov/kids/energyfacts/sources/renewable/water.html
    
    Extractions: Hydropower Energy from Moving Water Of the renewable energy sources that generate electricity, hydropower is the most often used. It accounted for 7 percent of U.S. generation and 45 percent of renewable generation in 2003. It is one of the oldest sources of energy and was used thousands of years ago to turn a paddle wheel for purposes such as grinding grain. Our nation’s first industrial use of hydropower to generate electricity occurred in 1880, when 16 brush-arc lamps were powered using a water turbine at the Wolverine Chair Factory in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The first U.S. hydroelectric power plant opened on the Fox River near Appleton, Wisconsin, on September 30, 1882. Until that time, coal was the only fuel used to produce electricity. Because the source of hydropower is water, hydroelectric power plants must be located on a water source. Therefore, it wasn’t until the technology to transmit electricity over long distances was developed that hydropower became widely used. Mechanical energy is derived by directing, harnessing, or channeling moving water. The amount of available energy in moving water is determined by its

49. How Hydropower Works
    hydropower plants capture the energy of falling water to generate electricity. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy  
    http://www.wvic.com/hydro-works.htm
    
    Extractions: Home Reservoirs Hydroplants Wisconsin River ... Hydropower Facts Hydropower plants capture the energy of falling water to generate electricity. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy. Then a generator converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy. Hydroplants range in size from "micro-hydros" that power only a few homes to giant dams like Hoover Dam that provide electricity for millions of people. The photo on the right shows the Alexander Hydroelectric Plant on the Wisconsin River, a medium-sized plant that produces enough electricity to serve about 8,000 people. Parts of a Hydroelectric Plant Most conventional hydroelectric plants include four major components (see graphic below): Dam. Raises the water level of the river to create falling water. Also controls the flow of water. The reservoir that is formed is, in effect, stored energy. Turbine. The force of falling water pushing against the turbine's blades causes the turbine to spin. A water turbine is much like a windmill, except the energy is provided by falling water instead of wind. The turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy. Generator Connected to the turbine by shafts and possibly gears so when the turbine spins it causes the generator to spin also. Converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electric energy. Generators in hydropower plants work just like the generators in other types of power plants.

    Explanation of how electricity is generated, including a description of how different energy sources (coal, oil, wood, nuclear, hydropower, wind) are used in the process.  
    http://www.state.hi.us/dbedt/ert/electgen.html
    
    Extractions: A "generator" and "motor" are essentially the same thing: what you call it depends on whether electricity is going into the unit or coming out of it. A generator produces electricity. In a generator, something causes the shaft and armature to spin. An electric current is generated, as shown in the picture (lighting bolt).

    Extractions: Providing alternative energy solutions since 1980. We specialize in solar electric, wind, hydropower, and solar hot water systems for homes, boat, RV's and wells. We are based in the Sierra Nevada Foothills of California. Shipping is available anywhere. What do you need for emergency power for when the grid power goes out? A good quality inverter/charger, such as the Trace DR or SW series, and a properly-sized bank of batteries may be all you need. Your batteries will be kept on float charge when the grid is working, and if it goes down, your loads can be automatically transferred to your inverter/battery system without missing a beat. Then, when the electric company is back on line, your loads will be automatically switched back to the grid. What to do if you are concerned with the reliability of your power supply.... Alternative energy is not for everyone. It takes an extra amount of involvement and extra investment in the short run. Call it an investment in the future. What is required is living in a more conscious fashion than the average person. It implies taking an active part in how we use and produce power. If we'd prefer to let someone else, i.e. the power company, make these energy decisions for us, so be it. Rather than feeling powerless, some of us would rather take responsibility for where our power comes from and how it is used. It's just a part of reclaiming our personal power from the powers that be. For more information on emergency preparation, please visit the following pages........
