TIDAL POWER

YEP.

TIDAL POWER.

Not wave power, but tidal power.

The changes in depth of the sea can move machines that generate electricity.

There are countless ways to generate electricity that we have been ignoring.

Hey.

How about your body movements charging your smartphone?

HOUSE IN WALES. MAKES £ 175 for every £ 100 CONSUMED

businessGreen full article

Welch house returns $275 (£ 175) for every $150 (£ 100) consumed.

Using solar panels that are the roof, and ones in the garden, combined with extra insulation, it is able to give back to the grid power that the occupants will not use.

The new conservative government in Wales has recently rescinded the laws that made new housing more insulated, but this house was build to the strict specs that were once in place.

In my opinion when you are sweating in the middle of winter with no external sources of heat, then you can talk about making things less insulated.

You can not be over insulated, you can always crack a window.

The house uses batteries to store electricity for use at night.

Like the TESLA POWERWALL does.

POWER GENERATED FROM WATER PIPE

Why is this worth talking about.

Well Lucid Energy / water company is generating electricity from something that was not being used to generate electricity before.

This is NOT usually called "ENERGY HARVESTING", but it is close.

Energy Harvesting is getting little bits (or big bits) of energy from sources normally not used for that purpose.

NOW.

If we KEEP DOING THIS, continuing to develop technologies that get power from places that were ignored before, the total amount of energy from ENERGY HARVESTING will eventually be enough to take over from our usual sources like "THE GRID," or "BATTERIES."

ALSO,

I can see a future where we develop POWER CONSUMING devices that use very little power, so we may move to a society where stuff is sort of "POWERED" by nothing.

SORT OF.

Things that could be powered by "NOTHING:

• CELL PHONES
• LIGHTS
• TV'S
• RADIO'S
• COMPUTERS

Power generating devices whose extra power is being "THROWN AWAY:"

• CAR ENGINES (HEAT)
• CAR WHEELS
• CAR WIND (MERCEDES DOES w PAINT)
• CAR SOLAR
• RADIO WAVES
• ALL OTHER STUFF FLOATING THRU THE AIR
• BICYCLES
• VIBRATIONS
• PUSH BUTTONS
• AIR FLOW
• AMBIENT LIGHT
• NOISE
• HEEL STRIKE
• TEMPERATURE VARIATION

All of these sources of power usually all go untapped.

I'll bet right now somebody out  there has a good sounding car stereo that only uses about 10 watts.
