Here’s a concept in small wind for readers to check out. A few points:
It’s not new. A few years ago, there was a nearly identical idea that came and went, when investors came to understand that this concept, as all the others, were dead in the water.
They have an “axial flux generator.” Really? Having we all seen “Back to the Future?” Making up technobabble like the “flux capacitor” gets laughs, but that’s about it.
The fact that climate change poses a huge threat doesn’t mean that every yo-yo idea in renewable energy makes sense.
There is a reason, based on physics, that vertical axis wind turbines are not competitive with their horizontal counterparts and do not exist in the enormous industry of wind energy.
The wind conditions on our roofs are impeded by trees and neighboring buildings. That’s the reason that wind farms are located in remote areas with incredible wind resources. No one would like to live in a place like Tehachapi, California with gale-force winds.
The spokesperson’s idea that he’s raising investor capital to engineer the product because “you to have the recipe before you bake the cookies” is catchy, but this is a recipe that clearly cannot exist.
There really are threats to human civilization that seem to be mounting in intensity:
• World fascism. (If it can happen in the U.S., it could conceivably happen anywhere.)
• Environmental collapse.
• Malicious use of AI.
• Pandemics, as misinformation on vaccinations spread and the frozen tundra melts, releasing pathogens never seen by humans.
• Nuclear war.
Addressing the point made at left, is there any scenario in which world governments agree to cooperate so as to stave off the end of an organized society here on Earth? One supposes so, though it sounds far-fetched in today’s world in which the leaders of most of the 200+ sovereign nations are trying so desperately to cling to power.
Obviously, James Carville has been wrong before, but it appears that he’s onto something here.
An ever-increasing number of Americans are realizing that Trump is criminally insane, and is leading this nation to destruction.
It’s a pleasure to see that Dr. Brian Cox has people so popular, having joined the ranks for Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, and a few others. This phenomenon of celebrity physicists if one of very few bright spots in our modern world.
I would qualify what he says at left as follows: the only people who hate the economics here are those invested in fossil fuels. Clean energy and transportation are already huge industries, and they’re growing at an amazing pace–even in the face of heavy suppression by Big Oil and Donald Trump.
