Единственным фактором, который порой останавливает людей от установки электрических тёплых полов в своей квартире, порой является необходимость тратить электрическую энергию на их работу. Однако этот фактор уже практически потерял свою актуальность, так как производители подобных систем существенно снизили данный показатель и создали специальные устройства, позволяющие регулировать работу обогревателей по времени. Эти устройства хорошо программируются на […]

What Is It, and How Does It Produce Electricity? We are a throwaway society. The United States currently produces over 200 million tons of garbage each year. We have always viewed our mountains of garbage and sewer sludge as a problem, seeking hiding places to bury them and secret them away. New York City ships […]

What Is It, and How Does It Produce Electricity? What is bio waste? It is the residue left from processing and harvesting any plant crop. In the United States, bio waste primarily includes wood and wood waste (tree, shrub, leaves, small branches, saw dust, wood chips, bark), crop waste (cane tops, straw, husks, hulls, citrus […]

What Is It, and How Does It Produce Electricity? Rather than wait for a field crop to grow and be harvested to take whatever residue is left for electric generation, why not plant and harvest crops specifically for electrical production? Food and timber crops aren’t necessarily the best source of biomass for feeding into a […]

What Is It, and How Does It Produce Electricity? Hydrogen is a gas—a burnable gas, just like natural gas or methane. In fact, hydrogen has the highest heat value (produces the most heat energy), gram for gram, of any fuel. Many rockets are fired into space burning tanks of liquid hydrogen. Hydrogen is also the […]

What Is It, and How Does It Produce Electricity? Methane has been mentioned in several other sections of this book—bio waste, MSW, bio crops, etc. Methane is the biggest single component of the mixes of gas we call natural gas and synthetic gas (syngas). Like natural gas and hydrogen, methane is an efficient, easy – […]

What Is It, and How Does It Produce Electricity? Coal is dirty. Coal is the “problem” fuel. Both mining and burning coal pollute land, water, and air. Coal is a major contributor to global warming and climate change. But we have plenty of coal, and coal has plenty of energy in it. And we need […]

What Is It, and How Does It Produce Electricity? America has been called a “throwaway” society. Research has shown that we “throw away” most of our energy. Over 50 percent of all the energy we consume is wasted—thrown away—mostly as waste heat up a smokestack or out a tailpipe instead of performing useful work. But […]
