Thames & Kosmos Wind Power Kit (V 3.0)

Thames & Kosmos Wind Power Kit (V 3.0)

Build a realistic wind turbine to harness power out of thin air. Wind is one of the most promising sources of clean, renewable energy available today. Wind energy has been used for centuries to pump water and crush grain in windmills, and is increasingly being used to generate electricity to power our modern world. Assemble a wind turbine complete with electric generator and adjustable rotor blades. The blades are designed with complex aerodynamic curves to look and work like modern-day wind tu

Your Questions About Sustainable Energy Solutions

Richard asks…

Why do environmentalists think green energy is reliable?

Did all of them forget that solar panels are extremely expensive and not cost effective, wind and most green energy are unreliable and that dams/hydro cause untold environmental damage to it’s surroundings?

Do they also think that Earth is running out of space to put a few barrels underground?
yes, they have become more cost-effective but are they reliable? Does no one else have answers to my other questions?

admin answers:

Define “environmentalists” and define “green”.

Based on everything else in the content, it appears you need to actually research the cost effectiveness of sustainable energy generation, realize that each variety of sustainable energy is suited for a given set of conditions that when combined form a whole as opposed to a single variety being a “one size fits all” solution, develop your risk assessment skills so that you can ascertain concepts like “the impacts of large scale air and water pollution are freakishly more damaging than all hydropower combined, in spite of the fact that hydropower is an imperfect although improving technology”, and realize that space is a resource as well. Then there’s the whole “you can only burn that stuff that takes millions of years to form at a much faster rate than it forms for so long” thing.

Aside from that, your counter argument sucks as well. If you’re going to discuss the faults of sustainable energy, you should at the very least hit on bird and bat strikes by wind turbines, migration impediments to both terrestrial and aquatic wildlife created by dams, maintenance issues associated with all new and developing technology, the inadequacy and ineffectiveness of bio-fuels, the extreme lack of adequate infrastructure, etc.

Also, your title attacks reliability while your text attacks efficiency and damage without any supporting details whatsoever.

Robert asks…

What do you think of this one idea to provide a solution to alternative energy,global warming,welfare,economy?

It starts with a global reality show which is funded by world governments, and private entities, offering a substantial cash award, along with the first of its kind, global recogniton award for the best alternative energy source, as well as the most cost effective means to incorporate it into existing refinery sources, with the least amount of downtime and transitional cost. Also–Israel set up a donation system for planting trees resulting in 200 million trees planted. Why cant our government do the same by allowing tax breaks for people to donate money to the government for planting fruit trees. These trees produce oxygen, burn C02, and would result in greater agricultural exports, providing revenue, and the produce could be donated to welfare families, thereby reducing the amount of money each family would need to receive in federal funding. And eliminate people selling their food stamps. The reduction in welfare could save tax payers money. What do you think of this idea?

admin answers:

Engineers capable of developing new energy sources will not participate in a reality show, no matter how much you pay them.

There are plenty of viable sustainable energy technologies, they make energy that’s more expensive that fossil fuels.
Once we run out of fossils, their price will increase, and we will roll out alternative technologies.

Farmers already are paid to plant fruit trees via subsidies, and government is imposing quotas on agricultural output to keep farmers profitable.

You can’t export fruit from US, Latin american countries are willing to export it at much lower prices, and there are no takers.

Giving people free food keeps means they will stay on welfare forever, and so will their children. If you want to help the poor, you gotta give them work skills and culture of honest work.

Your Questions About Renewable Energy Group

Ken asks…

Where can I learn about free energy and renewable energy technologies?

I am 23 years old. I was a straight A student in high school in Honors and A.P. classes but when I learned about free energy technology suppression and many other things I became skeptical of the education system and our government in general and basically lost all motivation to go to a good school. I took some classes at the local community college in a Mechanical Design and Fabrication program and even got a job at a fabrication shop before getting my degree but being a machinist and loading metal parts such as golf cart axles into a machine all day just does not fulfill me. I want to do something that is challenging, technical, for a good cause, and something that will utilize my full potential. My main interest is free and renewable clean energy technologies for vehicular applications and my main source of inspiration on this quest was discovering a man named Stanley Meyer and the technology he developed in the late 90’s. I have even started a Facebook group, SMAG, which stands for Stanley Meyer Awareness Group, to spread the word about this man’s life. I am a fast learner and can be a very hard worker when I am motivated about what I am working on. I just want to find my purpose in life and feel fulfilled about what I am doing and I believe that this is my calling. However, I do not know where to go to learn about this type of technology. There is lots of information of the internet but it is just not the same as being taught by an expert in the field and can be hard to decipher sometimes. So is there any sort of school that specializes in this type of technology? I realize that many government funded and accredited schools do not acknowledge that this type of technology even exists, so I imagine that it would have to be a pretty open minded place, if such a place even exists. Any information or leads would be greatly appreciated. Thank you : )

admin answers:

Sadly you lost interest in formal education at just the wrong time in your life. A bit more and you might have realized that there is no such thing as a free lunch, or free energy. [Well not in the way you are hoping for.] There is no big conspiracy to hide ‘Free Energy’. There are many corporate and government policies that prevent innovation though. There are alternative technologies and alternative energy sources. But nothing is free. Even sunlight and wind cost money to harvest. Hey even the hot air from politicians isn’t free!

Go back to college to get a science degree or diploma. Then you will be able to assess things for yourself. A good grounding in thermodynamics and physics will go a long way.

There are many things you can do that make a difference in life.
When I left university with aqn engineering degree, I took a job in a completely different field in a least developed county. In the 35 yrs since then, I have changed careers a couple of times, had a real and positive impact on millions of people and never returned to live in the developed world. Now I’m ready to retire and will devote myself to further learning in yet another country to see what else I can do.

Dream big, and do what you can. But if you start with real understanding you have a far better chance than if you believe everything you see and read.

Seeing how you are still young, I would recommend going back to school and study engineering.
As an engineer, you can work on photovoltaic technology, wind turbines, etc
You will learn about inductors, capacitors, impedance, etc
You will about cycles, otto, diesel, rankine, etc
This is mainly what I learned as a mechanical engineer. But you seemed to be more inclined to be an electrical engineer.

Also, the reason why I suggest studying engineering is because, even if you did manage to learn all of this, no workplace will take you seriously (or will take the liability) if you can’t prove that you received some kind of training in a technical field.

For example, imagining burning out solar cells (lets say you somehow managed to do this). Do you know how expensive solar cells are? The company reduces their risks if you take some form of training. Even ITT Tech training would be better.
