Top 10 INCREDIBLE Alternatives to Alternative ENERGY

[@bramboraail]

awesome, the big wind turbines seem innocent, but these floating wind turbines.... super amazing. :}

[@SpiritualInsanity01]

I must admit that was jolly interesting. The topic matters on this channel can sometimes be a bit hit and miss, but in my opinion, that was one of your best videos. I do miss the intros before going through your list though, as it does set the scene for what is to come.

[@CorkySchillinger]

Great video! Now, I just have to figure out a way to stay alive to see at least one of these technologies become common.

[@Twasforthevine]

If you were born after 1970 and live until 80 you should see it

[@InquisMalleus]

There are underwater turbines that work similar to wind turbines - except using ocean currents instead of wind. Because ocean currents are more stable than wind, they produce electricity much more consistently. Also, because water is more dense than air, a stable 5 mph current generates slightly more electricity than a 50 mph wind.

[@brokenursa9986]

I've been working on a sci-fi thing, and my starships in it actually use those microwave thrusters as their maneuvering thrusters (they use stronger thrusters for acceleration and deceleration). Naturally, these ships have power-plants strong enough to actually make them give off a significant amount of thrust, and the ships are built with lightweight materials to get as much out of the thrusters as they can. I'm really trying to put the science back in science fiction.

[@Digitizeddragon]

So cool. I love to write scifi as well. Really enjoy focusing on the idea of how different/similar alien cultures could be.

[@Gguy061]

I need videos like this to give me hope

[@josephorlando7601]

+NightRaven 1901 the thorium car is bullshit, the laser they use to heat it up uses more power than the heated thorium produces and is only operational in a lab, not to mention that it is a military laser designed to shoot down ICBMs.

This is just superb, I have been researching "electrical design engineering books free download" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Senarper Salient Secret - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a smashing one of a kind product for discovering how to have free power in your home minus the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got cool success with it.

[@gustavocastroortiz7645]

Cheers for this, I have been researching "how to make your own electricity with water" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Diyadison Penhloe Blaster - (do a google search ) ? It is a great one of a kind product for generating your own electricity minus the hard work. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my brother in law got excellent results with it.

Cold Steam the efficient way to use the sun or composting and rocket stoves as heat sources to produce electricity and or distilled water explained from basic concept to employment. Water boils in a vacuum at 75 F or 24 C Two open containers one full of water the other empty connect them at the bottom and water will reach an equilibrium 50 50. If one is sealed except for the connection the other will remain empty because of the vacuum created in the sealed container. Gravity will overcome this vacuum if the containers are taller than 34 feet. If the tanks are 40 feet tall the tanks will reach an equilibrium of water levels at 34 feet leaving six feet of hard vacuum in the sealed tank. This makes a vacuum pump set we need two of them if we were going to distill water as the cold side open tank is used to collect the distilled water from it as the continuous input of water needs to go somewhere. Each sealed tank has four valves three at the top two of those on opposite sides (B&C) one at the very top (D) one at the bottom on the side (A), water-based vacuum pump operations are, Close bottom tank valve A and top tank valve C. Open top tank valve D. Fill sealed tank through top side valve B. Close valve B and D when full. Open bottom valve A. This primes the system to let the warm water in that will vaporize and run through the system when you partially reopen valve B (to control flow rate) and open valve C to its fullest. For only power generation need one pump set and one vacuum tank so we can have a Hot side and a Cold side one to boil the water and one to have the low pressure/vacuum to draw the steam in through the turbine then the cooling coils then to the tank. At the bottom of the cold side, tank is a return pipe with the one way valve to the heat source the one-way valve prevents expansion back to the cold side and as the hot side vacuum chamber is the only outlet for the expanding water and it is drawn by the vacuum the cycle proceeds. You can combine the two and get power generation and distilled water keeping the return line from the power generation system will let you switch if you don't need distilled water on a continuous basis in large quantities. I am going to make one feel free to make one as well it is open source.

[@timhutzler9441]

Unlike the others the microwave thruster IS NOT an alternative energy source. It consumes LOTS of energy, and as you have mentioned it is not yet practical.

[@edwardlow9190]

Actually, the main problem isnt the temperature of a tokamak reactor, its the energy requred to start it compared to the energy given out. They have so far only managed to produce less energy than what has been put in. They are also using the deutriem tritium plasma to try to produce something i cant remember from the website

[@edwardlow9190]

I remember, its called burning plasma, where the heat is confined inside the plasma well enough for the reactor to withstand the temperature. They also want to test tritium breeding, where tritium is actually created inaide the reactor, as there isnt enough tritium on earth at the moment to set up a meaningful number of tokomaks

[@LionIgnatius6205]

I've wanted to say this for a while now ,your presentation skills are on point

[@EclecticPkm]

Great Video Simon; Kudos to your team great work!

[@interspeciesfamily8043]

Oh how efficient this fellow is indeed. Thank goodness, LiNks and further written information. Definitely sharing THiS video. Thankyou for your informative video.

[@adriansykes4516]

This is a great post! Everyone, I would suggest you do more research on Thorium. Why are we not using it?

[@michaelrudy8744]

Adrian Sykes because ExxonMobil are dickheads.

[@Ascend777]

LOL, looks like we will not have an energy crisis after all. We may however have transportation crisis.

[@ariswitty99]

The Wendelstein 7-x would have been important to mention when talking about the ITER. Though a stellarator and not a tokamak, it is able to rotate the plasma without any need for additional power do to the twisting nature of its design.

[@cfwolnia]

...steam generated at geo-thermo plants usually hovers around 158F... @ 4:37, Did I mishear this?

[@Lemonz1989]

The thorium car is impossible in its current design unless you want to die of radiation poisoning just by driving it, not to mention the damage that would happen to everyone around it in a car crash. The design also wants to use a laser (that doesn't exist) to activate the nulear reaction, and the only current laser that can even activate the reation uses fuel that is rare in and of itself and it GIANT. If you could use that laser, then you wouldn't need the thorium to begin with, because you could just use that to heat the water... There is SOOO much wrong with it that it makes my head hurt.

[@jhoughjr1]

The thorium car has been thoroughly debunked. Using a laser to hear water is idiotic.

[@hankw5086]

great list; one of your best!

[@corpsie666]

MIT has recently found a way to boost solar panels efficiency above 30%

[@moneywaalaa3335]

How

[@acrefray]

Thorium reactors are easy to be created through the repurposement of Uranium reactors, but the pitfalls are that: A) Plutonium isn't generated, so various militaries aren't remotely interested (so there goes all the largest budgets), and B) The nuclear waste from Thorium has a half-life thousands of years greater than that of spent uranium. It's probably a better alternative, but as you well know, the militaries and mega-corporations of the world tend to determine what technologies get developed, and neither want to develop something that is not going to return a large, safe return on their investment.

[@DJPrince2032]

I really wish we would invest in schools and nuclear fusion funding more heavily. And before you cry to me because you read "nuclear" do more research then headlines, and more research than an article by a lady who makes claims about how many people Nuclear has killed even though her claims can't be independently verified. I think it would be the wisest move. And it's nuclear fusion I'm talking about, not fission. I think we need to get a fusion reactor up and commercially available by 2030 or sooner.

[@savagetaestheticknight221]

👍 Alternative energy is the wave.

[@chancegoss623]

I like the solar windows, they would be cool in homes and other buildings.

[@corpsie666]

Except how hot the windows will be

[@gkwoolf1]

This is truly amazing

[@aultunwhite4988]

I don't think this video was titled right....it should be called "Alternate modifications to alternative energy".....i think that''s more accurate...!!

[@TheRealFobican]

No wonder why electric cars are becoming more and more common these days, the technology to produce power is increasingly becoming more and more developed.

[@millenniumspotm.g.sudarsanan]

Hey what about Higgs boson energy ?

[@jordanzelch9508]

For number one he showed two different reactors a breeder and a fusion reactor, then he acts as if they are the same thing

[@paulbertrand8935]

The microwave thruster isn't fringe science at all like it was presented here. The momentum of photons has been known for a hundred years thanks to Planks Constant. Solar sails work on the same principle

[@boxertest]

Loved this :-)

[@jackhenderson1039]

For #3 this has so many problems but.... It wouldn't run on 8 grams of fuel. You'd need to get more water.

[@yostepdaddi]

I can't wait until oil is obsolete

[@atzhirichavez2000]

1:01, Why did they call it "Oyster"? Don't they know that's a type of shellfish?

[@MrKillerMichael]

Number 3 and 2 are slightly different than the rest. The thorium reactor in a car is just stupid because of the radiation that would be emitted (and to mention the laser that heats the water instead of just putting the water around the reactor). A Thorium breeder reactor would be of much better use, but that would just end with nations claiming the other is trying to create a stronger nuclear weapon. The microwave engine doesn't actually break any physical law because electromagnetic radiation (light, although not always visible) doesn't have mass, but momentum. It doesn't have very much but it does have it. I believe someone calculated the energy required to launch a 100-ton spacecraft using only lasers and it was something like 11 million nuclear reactors. And not only that, but there are particles in space (with their respective antiparticle) that just come into existence. But since the anti-particle is nearby, they just annihilate. This may provide another reason of how the engine produces thrust (albeit at something like 10 micro newtons.)

[@nil981]

didnt thunderfoot already disprove two of the technologies on this list?

[@jacobwcrosby]

Actually, the thorium engine is garbage, and so is the 'Impossible' drive, well, mostly anyway... The impossible drive has been attempted to be tested by NASA, but unfortunately, the thrust supposedly produced is so little that we lack the necessary instruments to measure it... In fact, the amount of time, money and energy spent in trying to adequately isolate the system from outside influence in order to accurately verify the supposed thrust is ridiculous! You folks really need to *actually* do research on these topics, instead of just reading some nonsense articles, wherein the writers themselves never did the necessary research... Sucks. Other than this video, for the most part, I *love* your videos/work!!!

[@osatoo98]

[@firstcynic92]

"Setting aside tragic accidents and the fact that it produces nuclear waste, this form of energy doesn't pollute the environment or cause any harm if we're careful." Did you hurt yourself jumping through that hoop? That's on the level of rationalization on par with "clean coal", "acceptable levels of lead in drinking water" or "guns don't kill". If you ignore accidents and pollution, coal and oil are perfectly ok as well.

[@Aeturnalis]

Nuclear power IS clean (except for the nuclear waste), but producing nuclear fuel is extraordinarily polluting. Mining and refining uranium ore into a usable fuel requires incredible amounts of toxic chemicals including strong acids and other heavy metals, and a lot of energy input. You have to remember that the people who came up with these concepts in the 1950s were raised by the generation that used x-ray tanning beds and treated mental illness by using leeches to suck out your bad humors. It's way too dangerous to invest into any further.

I don't claim to be any kind of expert on this subject.. but the fact there are proven possibilities like these, some that have been around for years, and yet fossil fuels are still almost exclusively used, I find it infuriating that they are literally being rejected (or actively buried or slandered) just so the powers that be can keep making their trillions of dollars. I get it, you want to be super rich and control the world and the politics and power, but how insanely stupid and greedy and short-sighted do they have to be to still go through with it, knowing the damage it does to the planet and the people that live here? Lame.
