03/30/07 - Reverse Osmosis Sanitation System - Cleaning poison water
THREE students have come up with an idea that could help save the lives of 1.2 billion
poverty-stricken people. The brainy trio have designed a lightweight barrel on wheels
that purifies water as it is pushed along, cleaning it to such an extent it could then be
bottled and sold in the UK. "The figures given by the charity were staggering and we
just couldn't get our heads round the fact that 10,000 people die every day because
they don't have access to a clean water supply. "Then as we were sitting chatting in a
cafe, we had the idea of making a barrel on wheels that could purify the water as it was
being pushed back home. Red Button's water purifier, or Reverse Osmosis Sanitation
System (ROSS) to give its proper name, will mean a family of four in poverty-stricken
areas such as sub-Sahara Africa and Bangladesh will be able to collect enough water
for a day's drinking, cooking, cleaning, washing and even a small amount of farming
in just one trip to their nearest water source. At the moment, many African families need
to make three 12-kilometre round trips to their nearest clean water well. This means
children are often kept back from school and parents are stopped from working in order
to make the timeconsuming but vital trips. Nicky, 23, said: "Clean water is the most basic
thing any of us need to stay alive. "Having a ROSS would mean a family could use
the nearest water source and free up the time normally spent trekking to wells for
education and work. "We are aware that it is not a long-term solution but it could be
used as an instant fix in areas where any kind of infrastructure is still five or 10 years
away from being put in place. "They are so durable they could even be dropped by
plane into remote areas to be used instantly by families on the ground." Nicky added:
"We are also looking into the possibility of teaching local people how to make the
barrels themselves from old bicycle parts and plastic containers." "That way, all we
would do is supply the inner workings while, hopefully, also give the local economy
a boost." The purifier would also make a huge difference to people who don't have
any access to clean water wells. The simple filter device cleans even the filthiest of
water of all bacteria, parasites and viruses making it completely safe to drink and use.
"Having clean water makes a difference in so many other ways as well. It is, for example,
vital for cleaning wounds properly. Farm produce also benefits from being irrigated
with pure water." - Ross website

 Fuel from thin air...and algae

Fuel from thin air…and algae
May 29, 2008
Start-up Sapphire Energy is promising an innovation
that sounds as miraculous as a water-to-wine
transformation.
On Wednesday, the company took the covers off what it calls "green crude"—
a liquid fuel chemically identical to gasoline but not dependent on either a food
source or agricultural land. Even better, it promises to be "carbon neutral"; even
though vehicles that burn the fuel will emit carbon, creating green crude involves
pulling just as much carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere as it will put back in.
Sapphire, based in San Diego, plans to make its fuel from
algae microorganisms, salt water, carbon dioxide and the
power of the sun. Chief Executive Jason Pyle was deliberately
vague concerning how the technology works, but he says the
company, which was formed in May 2007, has been able to produce 91-octane gasoline
and has had it analyzed at a refinery.
"We created a process that relies on photosynthesis.
It absorbs CO2 to produce a carbon molecule,"
Pyle says in an interview with Forbes.com.
Pyle has been involved in two other start-ups and has a background in biotechnology, engineering and physics.
"We believe we're setting the benchmark for an entire new industry."
Other alternative fuel companies such as Solazyme of South San Francisco,
Calif., are using algae to produce biodiesel.
Like ethanol, biodiesel attracts water and thus cannot be shipped in existing
pipelines. Both ethanol and biodiesel also have lower energy density than
traditional gasoline and diesel fuels
Pyle says Sapphire's green crude has the same energy
density as gasoline and can be shipped in existing
pipelines and refined the same way gasoline and diesel are.
Pyle says Sapphire's green crude has the same energy
density as gasoline and can be shipped in existing
pipelines and refined the same way gasoline and diesel are.
Amyris Biotechnologies of Emeryville, Calif., is also developing renewable fuels
that are chemically identical to gasoline, jet fuel and diesel. Amyris announced
in April that it will develop a diesel fuel in Brazil from sugarcane, with a
production target date of 2010. But Pyle asserts that Sapphire's technology can
scale to a much greater degree than Amyris can, because Sapphire is not
dependent on a food source as its fuel. "Agricultural land is of
limited supply. We have a huge amount of land that is completely non-agricultural
that we can use, desert land," says Pyle. His aim is to produce 10,000 barrels a
day in facilities that may be located on desert land across the southwestern
and southern U.S.
Sapphire has raised $50 million from respected venture capital companies
ARCH Venture Partners and Venrock, as well as the Wellcome Trust of the
U.K., the world's largest medical research foundation. The company has
been doing some work in Oklahoma but has not yet announced where its
first test facility will be located. It aims to have
its first facility operational in three years.

The company has elicited technology help from the Dept. of
Energy's Joint Genome
Project; the Univ. of California, San Diego; the Scripps Research
Institute; and the
Univ. of Tulsa.
"Almost every other [alternative
fuel company] out there is a refiner,"
says Robert Nelsen, managing
director at ARCH Venture Partners.
"They are taking something and
refining it. We are producing something."
Nelsen and Pyle believe that biofuels dependent on a food source or agricultural land cannot
be scaled to affect more than 1% of the gasoline we consume annually in the U.S. "When we
started this company, we wanted to create a whole new category that didn't have a set of
constraints preventing it from growing to a large scale. We're not against Amyris or any of
these companies...they will see success in their niches," says ARCH's Nelsen. "We wanted
to find something that you could scale infinitely."
Nelsen wouldn't speculate what percent of the fuel supply Sapphire
might replace, but he wants it to be a lot more than 1%."We've talked
to people in the oil industry who've said, 'This is the first thing I've
seen that can change the game,'" says Nelsen. "We want to take it
to a whole new level."
Biofuels threaten lands of 60 million tribal people

Demand for biofuels is destroying tribal peoples’ land and lives, according to indigenous representatives at the
United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII), meeting currently in New York.
A report presented to the UNPFII refers to ‘increasing human rights violations, displacements and conflicts
due to expropriation of ancestral lands and forests for biofuel plantations.’ One of the report’s authors,
UNPFII chairperson Victoria Tauli-Corpuz, has said that if biofuels expansion continues as planned, 60 million
indigenous people worldwide are threatened with losing their land and livelihoods.
Palm oil is one of the most destructive crops used for biofuels. Millions of indigenous people in Malaysia have
already been affected by palm oil plantations, and millions more in Indonesia, where over 6 million hectares of
oil palm have been planted, mostly on indigenous territory. In Colombia, thousands of families, many of them
indigenous, have been violently evicted from their land because of palm oil plantations and other crops.
Malaysia, Indonesia and Colombia all plan to expand their palm oil plantations. Indonesia has announced plans
for plantations in Borneo, projected to displace up to 5 million indigenous people, and 5 million hectares, much
of it indigenous land, has been set aside for palm oil in Papua. Colombia is planning 6.3 million hectares of
plantations, which could affect more than 100 indigenous communities.
‘If the government take our land, what will we have left?’ an indigenous Papuan leader said in an interview
with Survival. ‘If there is a plantation, our land will be destroyed.’
Other crops for biofuels include sugar cane, soy, corn, manioc and jatropha, a plant native to Central America.
The Guarani in Brazil have lost much of their land to sugar cane cultivation, while the government in India
is targeting 13.5 million hectares of what it calls ‘wasteland’, much of which is actually indigenous land.
Survival’s director, Stephen Corry, said today, ‘The biofuels boom doesn’t just have consequences for the
environment, global food prices or orang-utans – it’s having a devastating effect on tribal people too. The
companies feverishly promoting this industry have been perfectly willing to push aside tribal people in their
hunger for land.’

03/31/07 - The Farce that is Alternative Energy
Solar, wind, ethanol, hybrid cars…none of them is going to be our savior when the oil music stops playing. You’re wondering why? Efficiency, that’s why--energy in vs. energy out. To oil’s benefit, it took less energy to get for the energy it gave. Even at $40/barrel, it was the cheapest source of energy, with the most output, per barrel (or even BTU). Now that cheap source is destined to come to a thin trickle, if not a screeching halt. What do we have as replacements? Solar panels, made from petroleum, only provide us with about 10% of our current energy needs, and we’d have to line I-5 in California with solar panels just to make 6 megawatts of power (the standard used in today’s electric generation plants)-the golden rule used to measure the electric needs of an average U.S. city. Six megawatts equals ONE power plant. It takes 12 solar panels working constantly just to run 1 refrigerator, and we don’t live in the land of the midnight sun.
03/31/07 - Pond-Powered Biofuels
 Using a complex (and still expensive) photosynthetic process, breakthrough innovators have developed biodiesel and ethanol from an unlikely source that can double its output overnight and just might help give alternative energy the bump it needs: little green goo. Colorado's Solix Biofuels tackles the difficult task of harvesting algae the right way with a field of bioreactors that take a kind of painter's dropcloth (inset) to bubble CO through its system.The science is simple: Algae need water, sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow. The oil they produce can then be harvested and converted into biodiesel; the algae’s carbohydrate content can be fermented into ethanol. Both are much cleaner-burning fuels than petroleum-based diesel or gas. The reality is more complex. Trying to grow concentrations of the finicky organism is a bit like trying to balance the water in a fish tank. It’s also expensive. The water needs to be just the right temperature for algae to proliferate, and even then open ponds can become choked with invasive species. Atmospheric levels of CO2 also aren’t high enough to spur exponential growth. Solix addresses these problems by containing the algae in closed “photobioreactors”-triangular chambers made from sheets of polyethylene plastic (similar to a painter’s dropcloth)-and bubbling supplemental carbon dioxide through the system. Eventually, the source of the CO2 will be exhaust from power plants and other industrial processes, providing the added benefit of capturing a potent greenhouse gas before it reaches the atmosphere. Given the right conditions, algae can double its volume overnight. Unlike other biofuel feedstocks, such as soy or corn, it can be harvested day after day. Up to 50 percent of an alga’s body weight is comprised of oil, whereas oil-palm trees-currently the largest producer of oil to make biofuels-yield just about 20 percent of their weight in oil. Across the board, yields are already impressive: Soy produces some 50 gallons of oil per acre per year; canola, 150 gallons; and palm, 650 gallons. But algae is expected to produce 10,000 gallons per acre per year, and eventually even more.

03/31/07 - Architect claims to solve pyramid secret
 A French architect claimed Friday to have uncovered the mystery about how Egypt's Great Pyramid of Khufu was built - with use of a spiral ramp to hoist huge stone blocks into place. The construction of the Great Pyramid 4,500 years ago by Khufu, a ruler also known as Cheops, has long befuddled scientists as to how its 3 million stone blocks weighing 2.5 tons each were lifted into place.
Houdin said he had taken into account the copper and stone tools available at the time, the granite and limestone blocks, the location of the pyramid and the strength and knowledge of the workers.
According to his theory - shown in a computer model available at http://www.3ds.com/khufu - the builders put up an outer ramp for the first 140 feet, then constructed an inner ramp in a corkscrew shape to complete the 450-foot structure. Houdin also postulated that King's Chamber was hoisted into place through a system of counterweights.

If this works why not use it to power a generator, turbine or whatever you have to produce electricity, and get off the grid... -------- Original Message --------

Imagine running your car on water! That's correct, I said water.
Stanley Meyer did exactly that ! He modified his dune buggy to run on water alone using the hydrogen to run his dune
buggy.The goal of this web site is to explain the science behind Stanley Meyer?s water fuel cell. As a group we will
study his theory, patents, and related information. The objective will be to replicate the water fuel cell.
The completion of our work will be proof to the world of the validity of the water fuel cell.
The project section of the website will show various designs in the development stage from water fuel cell
experimenters around the globe.
Have you ever thought about water as a fuel source?
The atomic make up of water makes the molecule perfect for a fuel source. The water molecule is composed of two
atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. When the water molecule is separated into its component atoms
(H and O) and oxidized as fuel, the resulting energy is two and one half times more powerful than gasoline. The
byproduct of the combustion is water vapor. Making water as a fuel, powerful and pollution free!
The problem has always been how to separate water economically. Traditional methods of separating the bond
of the water molecule have resulted in failure. To power a car by these methods would not move the car very
far. The car?s electrical system could not recharge from the process quickly enough. The result would be a quickly
drained battery. For many years Stanley Meyer researched this problem and found a way around it!
There are many people, as you could well imagine, who would not like to see this technology appear in the
market place.
Stanley A. Meyer died on March 27 1998 at the young age of 57. It is vital that his research and resulting
technological advances are not lost, but rather that his work is continued.
Join in the creative spirit and challenge (that is not driven by greed) and help in an endeavor that will
revolutionize the world. This effort will provide an efficient fuel source which is environmentally safe.
If you have a genuine interest in what you have just read, want to experiment, or can contribute in
anyway, follow the information on the website and feel free to
