Jim, BTW, I worked for the same company as this guy for 10 years @ Sandwell Engineering (I was in their Atlanta office but went/back & forth to Vancouver, BC) "Dr. Stephen Ramsay is a professional engineer and mathematician specializing in engineering meteorology and risk assessment with Sandwell Engineering, Vancouver, B.C."
I understand the hot/cold air vortex concept. I really don't have much of an idea of the energy/efficiency balance. Their claim: “When the vortex is less than 20 meters in height, [generated power] is invisible,” he says. As the vortex size increases, the amount of energy produced increases exponentially, Michaud’s theory predicts." They need to prove they will get an exponential increase in energy. I don't necessarily agree with their theory. Mesoscale tornadoes are generated beneath strong jet streams rotating and pulling a strong vacuum from above and also generating gravitational waves in the atmosphere as predicted by Einstein and shown clearly over Moore, OK and Joplin, MO and During Hurricane Sandy. Here are a couple of pictures from my research, I have more on my blog Stewart darkmattersalot.com On Tue, Jul 2, 2013 at 10:35 PM, James Bowery <jabow...@gmail.com> wrote: > See slide 19 of: > > http://vortexengine.ca/PPP/AVEtec_Business_Case.pdf > > Bottom line: > > If LENR doesn't pan out as an electrical generating system, Atmospheric > Vortex Engines are the next best thing. > > If LENR does pan out as an electrical generating system, Atmospheric > Vortex Engines are not only still hard to beat, at 300 mil/W capital cost, > 0 variable operating cost and 1mil/W fixed operating cost, but they can be > used with the larger centralized energy users (there will be _some_) to > relatively efficiently (up to 20%) cogenerate from the waste heat. >
