Google sent me this link this morning.


GN is so weird. Does that to me too. I've even done exactly what you've 
done too, responding to a news item as if it was current. Hate when it 
happens. ;)



On the front of the web page
was a date: July 6, 2008. Nowhere in the New Paradigm Newswire web
page did I see any indication that the audio file was two years old.


Oh well, what can I say?


How did you determine the audio recording's age?


I listened to the first 60 seconds of that link, then compared it to 
segment 1 of the link at BLP.



Looking forward to your July 10 article.


I really like the full BLP article we've got coming. Author is not me 
(though I edited of course.) Author is someone well known to V. What I like 
most about it is that, unlike most of the rags, we don't go reply on an 
opinion poll of "science authorities" but we get down to the core facts, at 
least as much as we were able to identify within the scope of this piece.


It could go up as early as late Weds night or as late as Thursday night, 
depending on our production tasks.

Just to be clear, this is what I read on the New Paradigm Newswire web site at:

http://tinyurl.com/5q9hkl



With the price of energy impacting just about everything we buy, the
world is crying for a solution.

BlackLight Power Inc. is the inventor of a paradigm-shifting new
primary energy source and a new field of hydrogen chemistry with broad
commercial applications. The Blacklight Process is a novel way of
creating new types of energy states from Hydrogen that if successfully
commercialized, could literally solve the energy crisis.

Of course there's a lot of territory to cover from lab to commercial
application but its good to know that the possibility exists to change
the limited energy paradigm into one of abundance and on May 28, 2008,
Blacklight introduced a 50,000 watt prototype.

Steve,

I have google news set to to search for key words: "BlackLight Power."
Google sent me this link this morning. On the front of the web page
was a date: July 6, 2008. Nowhere in the New Paradigm Newswire web
page did I see any indication that the audio file was two years old. I
therefore (mistakingly) assumed it must be a recent radio interview.
This is weird.

You'd have to expend a lot of Windex and paper towels, too!

However, looking at my automobile:

A gallon of gas contains about 36.7 kWhr of energy.  Assuming a
mechanical efficiency of about 70% and a thermal efficiency of about
30%, the car would be about 20% efficient providing about 7.3 kWhr.

If I get 30 mpg and drive for an hour I consume 2 gal/hr driving at 60
mph or about eight bucks.  With an electric car, I need 14.6 kWhr plus
the inefficiency of transport of the electric power, figure 80%, or
18.25 kWhr.

At 10 cents per kWhr the $8.00  of gasoline is displaced by $1.83 of
go juice.  And guess what, the power plant pollutes someone else.

Not too good, since the panels will likely degrade and have to be 
replaced after 14 years.


However, in Japan electricity costs ~$0.20 kWh and banks pay 
practically no interest, so you can see why solar panels are selling 
like hotcakes. It is like getting ~7% interest on your money.


Government and industry in Japan plan to cut the cost of PV 
electricity by about half within 3 to 5 years. See:


http://www.reuters.com/article/environmentNews/idUST20585820080622

http://www.triplepundit.com/pages/japan-to-cut-the-cost-of-solar-003262.php

The systems now cost $21,000 on average. I must say, consumer goods 
in Japan are expensive. A friend of mine just got an ordinary sized 
refrigerator there, which is a bit smaller than the U.S. standard. I 
figure it would cost $500 in the U.S. It cost $1,200 in Japan. (I 
just looked up refrigerators, and I guess they have gone up in the 
U.S. as well, since they now seem to be ~$800. Probably more energy efficient.)


In Japan, PV electricity is a major investment and the return is 
still low, but passive solar water heating is dirt cheap and used 
everywhere. It is a shame it is not more widely used in places like 
southern U.S. and Australia. In Israel, all new construction has to 
have one, by law.

Re: [Vo]:Achieving the Rare and Final Stage of Oil Grief

2008-07-07 Thread Terry Blanton
Noting this interesting Sunday comic, I began to see if there was a
business plan which made sense with the Nanosolar product and the
German-made SMA inverters.  I restricted my analysis to Georgia since
that is where I am and I like to keep my investments near.

Insolation here averages about 5 kW/m^2.  So I figured about 10%
daylight to outlet efficiency.  This actually never came into play
except to determine the square footage for the array.

My average electrical power consumption in my 2400 sq. ft. ranch home
ranges from 2500 W to 1000 W summer to winter.  I have a gas water
heater and stove; but, all else is electric.  I based my simple
analysis on an average consumption of 1700 W and picked the most
simple PV system made:  a grid-connected invertor with no storage.

The SMA Sunny Boy 1100U can be had for about $1,400 US.  It can feed
the house panel directly with an interlocking breaker at 240 VAC with
reverse feed protection in the case of loss of the grid power.  If I
give the Nanosolar cell a liberal cost benefit of $1 per W (much
higher cost in GA), I would need $1400 to feed the inverter.

If I assume I can offset 80% of the first 1100 W for six hours per
day, I have a daily generation of 5.3 kWhr per day.  Since I pay a
dime per kWhr, I would save $0.53 per day with a payback of 2800/0.53
=> ~14 years excluding labor and miscellaneous hardware.

On the other side of the Atlantic from Hamburg, a guy
in Ohio has tweaked his Mustang to get 110 mpg, but in
typical Yank fashion he has still somehow managed to
"super-size" that ride at the same time.

Doug Pelmear, the Mec (Big Mac?) who pulled-off this
astounding feat (if you can believe the news report)
said the car has 400 horsepower, goes well over 100
mph and can go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds ! 

Rght.

Pelmear entered his car in the $10 million
"Progressive Automotive X Prize" : a race to find an
affordable, marketable automobile that gets at least
100 miles per gallon -

known physics can't deliver what the human race needs then we must look for
