Ideas

Momentum Generator

Momentum engine--I've had a lot of ideas concerning efficient energy...this is my latest, but it probably isn't original.   Looking at the diagram above, my idea is to start the pivot arm spinning in the vacumn.  The start off could be any other power source...a battery or solar power perhaps.  The lack of friction in the vacumn would cause the pivot arm to continue spinning which could be used to generate power.  Unfortunately, there is a crucial flaw in this idea...the pivot arm's center would be grinding against the box, thus creating friction that might stop it.  Perhaps strong electromagnets (positioned correctly) could keep the arm in some sort of levitated position and the start off could be in the form of some impact...I don't know. 

 

Wind Car

 

Wind Car--Another one of my energy-efficiency ideas, the wind car in one of my more interesting ideas.  During motion, the car has wind turbines on the bottom that pick up the wind resistance caused by the motion of the car.  Power generated off the turbine (and solar panels attached to the car) is sent to a main battery the car feeds off of.  This has one major problem:  Accidents will increase if the power level goes down.  Driver's low on power will try their best to keep going....thus speed up.  Otherwise, the only reason I can see that this technology is not being used is because major Oil/ Car companies have bought it out in a vain attempt to keep control over alternative fuel. 

    E-mail Notification--A fairly simple idea...I'd like to have a module that flashes a red light (even if the computer is not on)   when you get e-mail...that way e-mail can be just as useful as a telephone.
