Doesn't the existance of the universe violate the conservation of energy?
Secondly, instead of tapping tornadoes, why don't we tap into hurricane power?
My first post.
These questions have been on my mind for a few months now...
Would silica aerogel be appropriate for floating power plants?
Could you tug these power platforms around on a barge?
Could you turn these offshore power plants into tourist attactions?
How much energy could a hugely scaled up version of a renewably diversified power plant produce?
Could you integrate hydroponic biomass producing areas into them?
-Could you integrate H20 desalinizing plants on them?
Could you integrate OTEC (ocean thermal energy conversion) columns?
Could you integrate piezoeleectric elements into the pressured points of these power plants?
Could you integrate hydrokinetic elements below the floating platform?
Could you use horizontal turbines (torque fueled) on the outside of these platforms and use vertical axis (drag fueled) turbines in their wind shadows?
Would it be feasible to scale these floating platforms up to higher altitudes, or combine them with high altitude kites?
Would it be possible to instead build in the Sahara desert 10 mile domed power plants from ultrastrong carbon nanotube fibers , silica aerogel, and biopolymers?
How about combining all of these with massive amounts of rain and photon collecting QD= Multi exciton generation philm?
I think we are onto something!
