Got to do my little speech thing first. Since I am the one, who personally figured this out. Already sent to this to a few press outlets. Just a few.

There is no doubt what-so-ever, that this, should be considered, the dawn of a new age of mankind. We had the stone age, then the bronze age, the iron age and the industrial revolution, and then the information technology revolution.

Now the age, of extreme energy efficiency, has just started. Extreme electrical energy efficiency. So less than, or about, 1/10 the power usage in your home. I do not know much about electric vehicles, but I think they already using some of these electronic techniques to an extent. But maybe still get 2, 3 or maybe 4 times the distance, on any given charge, based upon, current battery technology. Hopefully to replace, or greatly diminish, our dependency on oil.

What I wrote before, basically. This part anyway.

Your daily oil fixes. So entire nations need less oil. Vastly less oil eventually. Hopefully for vehicles to. Replacing liquid fuelled vehicles, with battery powered ones, and getting, two or more times, the distance out of them, with current battery technology. Depending on what is being done in them or not already. I do not know much about vehicles really.

There are real world examples, of this technology already. Engineers do not fully realize the potential.

There is an old TV show called “Knight Rider”. In this show, there is a car with red lights, in the front. Only one on at a time on, going back and forth. Imagine you had a hundred lights like this, in a long line. Each a hundred watts. So, one on at a time means you use only 100 watts of power. Well and some power for the power control electronics.

If you were to speed up this turning on one light, so going, faster and faster, faster and faster. It would eventually appear that all the 100 lights are on the same time, and using 10,000 watts of power. But it’s not. It is only using 100 watts of power, and some power for the power control electronics. Say another 100 watts for a total of 200 watts of power usage, and not 10,000 watts of power usage. A greater than 90 percent drop in power consumption.

In the real world. Let’s say, you want 2000 watts of lighting in a room as an experiment (proof of concept with real power). You would use a chandelier or half dome, with 20, 100-watt light bulbs. And only be using maybe 200 watts of power. You would have your 3 wires coming from, the fuse panel power box, in your house, to the chandelier as usual, and have all the complicated wiring done in it, or a half dome lighting fixture or whatever.

Of course, in real life, you may want something like 200 watts of lighting. So, 20, 10-watt light bulbs instead. Hence be using maybe 20 watts of power, and getting 200 watts of light output. Can have it hooked up to a dimmer to, depending on the power control electronics used.

This special circuit is usually called a led chaser or decade (10) counter, that may or may not count up and down, or restart from the very first light bulb. An example off youtube, powering, low power leds only. Not hooked up to power control circuitry that can handle 1000s of watts of power, if you need it to.

If you wanted to, you could grow bananas, apples, oranges, on the north pole in green houses. It would be much cheaper than now, fuel wise. All other costs would be the same. You could have 100s or 1000s of high-power requirement grow lights, and not use much power, kilowatt hour wise. Use much less fuel then.

A real world example. There is a show in Canada called “How it’s made”. In one episode, they talk about stadium lights for score boards. You may have a 100 by 100 grid square, so 10,000 light bulbs. In the past anyway. If they were 40 watts each, that would be 400,000 watts of electricity usage. They actually said, only one light bulb is in use, at one time. Maybe some do use lots of power.

So that’s lights. Many people have electric stoves. You can do the same thing. Have lots of low power heating elements turning on and off really fast. Each needing like 20 watts let’s say. Still ceramic coated. So, you might have all 4 burners on red hot, and be using, less than 100 watts of power. That is heating up wire, so it is only read hot, and not white hot.

Many people have electric water heaters. You could do the same thing again. Use ceramic coated wires again and not be using much power.

Will not work with microwave ovens though. Made me realize something. What if you started do the same thing to power outlets themselves, in your home? Turn then on/off really fast?

Lets say, you had an apartment building, with 50 washers and dryers, on one floor. So, you would need the power wires hauled, for 100 power outlets anyway. So, you could have all the washers and dryers using only one, 20 amp, high voltage fuse, or resettable circuit breaker. You would need a second panel, next to your fuse panel, with all the extra wiring inside the panel. All the fuse panel power cables, would go into this second panel, and all the outlet wiring would come from the second panel, to the power outlets. As crazy as it sounds, it should work. Computers and other electronic devices might not like these outlets. Need some type of UPS for them maybe.

So electric vehicles.

At least some electric vehicles, have an electric motor, connected directly or indirectly, through a gear box, to a tire. So, four tires, means four electric motors, in this case. Electric motors have coils of wires in them, that you cannot even heat up to red hot, or you will burn the insulation off.

So, if they are not already turning each engine on and off really fast, they can do this, and get three to four times the battery life, out of current battery technology. Even if they are already doing this. Electric motors, has six to eight coils of wire, on the inside of the motor. With two or three being powered at the same time. So, the same thing, can be done to the coils themselves, inside the motor by rewiring the motor coils differently. Basically, powering each coil separately, by itself, this way.

So, each coil can be individually powered. If needed. So, you may get, two times the distance again, in battery life doing this. So, three times two, is six times the distance, on the same battery charge. Everything else being equal. Hopefully. Or get ride of half the batteries (weight) and still have three times the distance.

What does this mean?

Even if you do not believe in man-made climate change. Mercury (heavy metals) and Sulphur Dioxide, are still getting dumped into the environment. They get passed through scrubbers to. But some still makes it out into the environment. If you use 1/10 the coal that means 1/10 of these toxins, making into the environment eventually. Everything else being equal.

That means the fossil fuel supplies, should last ten times as long. Our grandchildren’s, grandchildren’s, grandchildren’s, really do need access to fossil fuels. For motor lubricants, fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, Styrofoam, plastics, medicines, advanced materials, energy, and a thousand other products, not invented yet.

Eventually the energy grid should be less utilized. That means it should be more stable and robust. Less long-term power outages.

So, there will be free capacity on the electric grid. That will be needed, for electric vehicles, to charge them in a timely manner, daily. 100s of millions of electric vehicles eventually and hybrids, I guess.

This means job creation. As new products need to be manufactured, for people to buy, using this technology, already in use somewhat. Some people will buy it to right off the bat, as it really does help the environment. Eventually all you will be able to buy, for formally, high energy usage items, is products that do this.

Eventually, this puts more money in people’s pockets, as this is the only technology, you can buy. That makes people feel better, as there are really better off financially, and well, helping the environment, personally. Every single day, of their lives then.

Less just cause for warfare. Means less turmoil in the world. A big step forward for the Muslims, getting their holy lands back. That so many have fought and died for. For various reasons.

Still surrounded by junkies and staff member here at the Arnica inn in Yellowknife NT Canada. Who are murderous in various ways to me daily, Still till this very day, Dec 26 2020.

Staff members who are formed junkies, or as good as. With a murder attitude still towards me. All are like junkies basically, staff too. There fun is a good enough reason to hurt people, destroy people and families, and to kill.

I have almost been killed several times, and have suffered grave bodily harm, by this local organized crime gang over the years. Allowed by, various perverts with jobs around here to do this to me. All they do, is make things harder for people. For me to do things like this. If I had died, no one would have never known this, and its implications, for the entire human race.

A different thing. Is it time for world peace to break out, basically? Time will tell. Nothings perfect. Maybe you should watch the news, for a while, and for a while over the next several years. Well maybe, it will happen sooner. Who knows? To a point anyway, a step in the right direction anyway. Nothings perfect.

I wish I had a real job making real money.

reading the replies to "The Man" is like watching the end of a battlebot war after one robot is disabled and the house robots go to town on the carcass... brutal (but deserving!)
 
I clicked on the original post link and stopped one line in - apologies. Lets talk "efficiency". How many of you have put your cup of coffee in a microwave oven just to take it out and blow on it to cool it back down as your impatient caffeine addiction is in high demand of that over-cooked inefficiently-reheated cup of coffee you let get cold earlier - all while a chunk of coal under a tea pot could have got the job done much cheaper. I bet nobody here even knows why their local recycling center suddenly wants nothing to do with their "sustainable" plastic. lol. Forgive me for not spending all evening analyzing the responses to the first paragraph, but there isn't a person here prepared to go live with me on a discussion of efficiency. You better have a big calculator and a CNC handbook of physics handy! For that reason, I didn't get past the first half of the original post. And to that extent, the OP should actually read Ted's Manifesto! Its heading there RAPIDLY!
Lets extrapolate how technology heated your coffee, shall we?. First, a bunch of underpaid workers are getting lung disease just to mine coal. That coal is hauled (using fossil fuels) to the power plant where it is burnt (with thermal loss) to make heat, which makes steam (after bringing water to its BP - its specific heat), which must absorb 7x more energy to turn to steam (its heat of vaporization), which must be heated further as to not immediately condense - more specific heat), before creating the pressure to turn a mechanical turbine (with friction losses in the bearings etc) to turn a generator at 60Hz (with eddy current losses among others) just to get sent to a step up transformer (more of those eddy currents!) before being fairly efficiently transmitted down a power line with radiative losses and making its way back to another transformer (or 3, with the same eddy current losses) just so you can flip a switch or press a button and proceed to blow on that coffee! Yea, lets talk technology..... because you have no clue how to heat your coffee without the infrastructure this inefficient technology provides! Enjoy your coffee! Ohhhh, I forgot, most of these coal power plants don't spend the money on steam-recapture turbines that are able to utilize the energy created by the steam re condensing to liquid (the latent heat of "condensation" lol, most of the original energy input) as it gets released out of the stack. By the time you hit start on that microwave oven, you get about 1/12th of the energy the coal provided.

BTW, it is mostly middle-easterns that own the AmericInns. Yea... I got a line further and hit edit. Isn't it nice how, if terrorists really wanted to invade, that they are guaranteed room and board? lol. Where do you get in the hot tub? Its best I stop reading the rest..... Here I go again.... drinking!

It's harder to turn the lump of coal on and off. And you would use energy trying to get it fired up for heating your tea pot.

Try it and let us know how you go.

Yes, let's talk about efficiency...

The water I use to brew coffee is heated on a natural gas stove, and my electricity is generated with natural gas. Basically a network of pipelines coming out of the ground going to my house and to the power plant.
