An Invention That Will Change The World
We all know how the internet has changed the world for the better. Knowledge is no longer centralized.
There is another invention that someday, if we survive, will make for a freer world, a more civilized world.
Imagine a world where electric power is not centralized. There would be no power lines, just as it's now possible to have telephone service without ground lines.
Every electrical device would have an internal power source, and every home. All power would be local, no power stations. Whether it's solar, a form of cold fusion, a device using super conductivity, etc. it will come and the world will change forever.
What would be the consequences? First the need to live near a power station would end. A home, a factory, could be built virtually anywhere. The poor of the world could have electricity, anywhere.
The importance of the city would end. People would reverse the trend of movement, and would move back to the countryside. It would be a world of small towns and villages
The power of the megapolis over the smaller places would end. Central government as we know it will end. The world will be a freer, more prosperous, more civilized. It will happen.
we already missed the chance
his name was Tesla
How do we go from "the technology exists" to "it's free"
I don't see how that works. Why isn't my cellphone free? It's wireless. And it seems like the government has grown leaps and bounds since cellphones and the internet.
I'm still waiting for my George Jetson briefcase car.

I've always liked this: http://www.sunpower.com/lib/sitefiles/Advanced_Stirling_Radi...
Also liked my 1978 62mpg VW Rabbit.
Don't guys keep inventing this?
It's a magnetic field thing?
To those who have already read my Vega rant click away from this thread NOW.
In 1974 I got my first car a 1972 Vega GT. 4 Cylinder 4 speed.
Got an average of 32 MPG on long trips.
It was the economy car of the time when a caddy weighed about 4300 pounds.
2008 Chevy Cobalt...5 speed...4 cylinder...about 33 MPG on long trips.
Ok, so we have a rant.
One mpg in 36 years?!.............one. How's it going GM? Got a thought on the 36 year thing?
A computer in 1972 cost $250,000 in today's dollars, it was as big a Chevy Cobalt and it was slower than a 2010 Blackberry that Verizon will give you for free if you buy their top plan.
We have a navigation system and ONE MPG. Air bags and one MPG. We spent five years on a Hydrogen initiative that got officially abandoned last month.
A blackberry does more than a 1972 IBM mainframe and it's free.
GM has sold 288,000,000 cars since they built my 1972 Vega and we have one effing MPG?!
Move along folks...no conspiracy here...move along, please....the Vega guy? He's nuts ok?...move along now...car MPG is just fine...your car gets the same mileage as a 1971 Mercury Monterey and that is just fine...it has air bags now...look at the cool navigation thing...skip the mpg we are very busy...move long now....no conspiracy here.............

Great Rant!

1972, begining of emissions specs
You forgot to mention the VEGA also got 33mile per Quart of oil..Back then you at least had a corporation that wanted to engineer cars, not just sell them..you-no
Meanwhile..
Japan introduces a hydrogen car on the market and you can buy a do it yourself hydrogen kit on the internet... as GM goes into bankruptcy...
so thats why they stopped the
hydregen inititive thing. You can do it yourself, that is bad, no government supervision for all those stupid americans.

I agree this is the next step in civilization
The centralized energy oligopoly needs to be broken. They are holding back true human progress towards peace, love, joy, harmony and they are killing the environment with legacy technologies that have no place in a modern society.

Its not just energy
That leads to cities, many other things are cenbtralized, and will be for the forseeable future.
For instance, manufactured goods - you need a way to produce goods cheaply without large factories. Resources like Iron Ore, Other metals, Oil for plastics, etc. all require centralizations. Food production is more efficient when centralized. Water resources need to be distributed.
There is a famous book called Five acres and freedom, that talks about how to be self sufficient. But that means that you would need the resources of at least 5 acres to be self sufficient. Is there 5 arable acres for everyone in the U.S. ? ?

Every new invention
is claimed to be so great and better for everyone. But look at what it all has gotten us. Most of our problems today come from all the goodies that man has made to make life better. This is no different.
Bump ...
... for inventiveness
:)
yes it will.
Sounds great
There are various designs of Uninterruptible Radioisotope Generators, UPGs, that fit your description and are available now. I like the current TPV designs. http://books.google.com/books?id=NuOssqabEDIC&pg=PA351&lpg=P.... Such toys are for government, not civilians.
Not as ideal, and requiring a heat source, SunPower Inc in NJ, have some low and mid range capacity free piston sterling models for very efficient power generation. http://www.sunpower.com/index.php?pg=6
Fact is, we would have more diverse and efficient technologies if government got the hell out of the way and stopped subsidizing existing monopolies.
Energy from the vacuum
Please look at this website: http://www.cheniere.org/
This is the place to go to learn about how to tap the energies of the vacuum.
There was a mention of Tesla's AC earlier on. While he is known mainly for his AC, he later changed to pulsed DC.
Many advancements
have just been crushed to keep us slaves. It all depends on our political systems. If we were still the America of our founding fathers, we would be such a different world.
Perendev Motors
I'm a big fan of this technology. Imagine a source of power using the energy of magnets!!!
http://www.perendev-power.com/autopack.htm
This is possible and there are many working models out there. The best concept uses neodymian magnets which have the highest gauss rating of the more typical available. This link shows how one could power a electric car with all the electricity it would need. Then imagine the same thing for houses by checking out the other ideas on this site.
You know magnets are kind of creepy. they seem unhealthy..
I wore a magnet bracelet once, remember when those came out? I actually felt a weird vibe off that thing.. very uncomfortable..

Cold Fusion
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.a67cf72fe27770f9...
Who knows whether this is a breakthrough or a false alarm? I'm just predicting in time a cheap, effective energy source will be discovered and a device will be invented to produce it.
Decentralization And Sovereignty
... and human ingenuity ... great topics for discussion.

Land line telephones, land line power distribution, or land line TV, its all primitive. Just predicting it will cease to exist. Changes in technology have consequences. The modern highway system got us away from dependence on fixed railways, which was a blow to big cities. Adding the internet and hopefully local power means the small places will be able to cooperate without the cities as go-betweens.
As we know Tesla (AC power) and Edison (DC power) competed. . Tesla's AC was victorious, but who knows, Edison's DC may someday make a comback.
Indivdual sovereignty is the true stewards of the lands.
And any body reading this, how about posting a few sites you've found on the subject of cold fusion, or perhaps you've book marked an previous DP thread.
