Alternative energy sources

[istvan]

Dear friends,

Even if this is not related directly to HUE i would like to start a discussion on alternative ways to harvest different forms of energy.

More and more of us try to make our homes energetically independent not to pay high bills to different energy companies. As economic crisis is spreading like a plague over the globe I believe harvesting nature's energy sources would be very valuable. Basic questions: how to harvest and generate electricity, heating, hot water for our homes. There are many technologies at our disposal, such as wind-power, solar-energy, joe-cells, etc.
I hope that by experimenting in this field we can find even other ways to use HUE in this regard (besides usage of antennas, which should generate electricity).
If you tried/implemented some of this technologies please share it will all of us.

Regards,
Istvan

Dear Istvan,

Since my retirement, I have moved to live in a remote place where ...electricity, telephone , water supply are not available.
I have to adjust my daily activities for this new life, spending almost full time to practice ...charging my UE antenna in the hope to bring into effect the allowance by our beloved Master to use the antenna just for house lighting. Unfortunately I fail to make it work! Solar energy is plentiful here but the capture is rather costly, and just for the water heating, no storage facilities available to use the energy for lighting at night!

I am particularly interested in this issue and appreciate any hint/ guidance to capture low cost energy harness, besides wind power since in this valley region wind is also scarce!!

Dear Thien Thu,

Here is a link to an article about joe-cell which can create energy using water.

Dear Istvan,

Joe-Cells are quite interesting to experiment with, as they work with "living water" (as its inventor calls it). We have a few forms of UE water so we can experiment even more.
I hope we can extensively document research related to this and share it.
