incredible advance!

The Hendershot is old news. I sold the rights to my version to some gentlemen who would prefer not to be named for reasons of 'national security'.

They seemed to be really nice guys, if a little heavily built. Hopefully they'll commercialise it properly and the dream of 'energy too cheap to meter' will become reality.

Cheers

Do you have a direct link to this letter ?

Great, that's what I recall. Mind if I ask how many hendershot generators are running in your house, and what was your electrical bill for the last month/year?

Ambient energy harvesting technology from microwave, RF and wireless sources is a mature technology -- variations of this are commercially available :

That's insane. One lithium cell would deliver more power for decades and cost much less.

Solar cells. Mature technology.

Possibly insane, but someone has cooked up a device to make some money!

Too mature, that it is headed for retirement home. Once again, unless there is a groundbreaking enhancement in core solar cell technology that drastically improves their energy conversion efficiency, there is not much hope for solar cell technology. Solar

d cost less.

re is a groundbreaking enhancement in core solar cell technology that drast ically improves their energy conversion efficiency, there is not much hope for solar cell technology.

The best multilayer technologies are up at 44%, which doesn't leave much ro om for drastic improvement in energy conversion efficiency.

Since there is a thriving market for less efficient - but more cost-effecti ve - solar cells, one has to conclude that daku is out of his tree.

Thermal solar power is still cheaper for really large installations, but th ere are a whole lot of applications where photovoltaic cells really are the cheapest and most practical option, and we've probably still got a few mor e iterations of increasing the production volume by a factor of ten and hal ving the unit cost left to go.

I didn't find it, not that i looked all that hard. Could someone give me a tip on where it is located?

Nevermind, SPeff put it up already.

?-)

Please post that location.

There's also that little problem of moonlight having less power density than sunlight.

We have gobs of uranium and natural gas and oil and coal. We don't have a problem that needs fixing. Greenies and politicians live to screw up things that are working fine; they follow the money and the power and get in the way, for their own fun and profit. They should put their energy into things that need work, like war and poverty and disease.

Oh, good God, no! They've already proven what damage they can do there.

There are lots of people working to reduce poverty and disease. I help some of them, as we all should. But those people are out there, on the ground, quietly trying to make things better one step at a time, not spewing class-warfare hate and jockeying for power.

Yes, there is a difference between individuals trying to solve these problems and statists doing their thing. Statists *always* make things worse. One tsar can't out-think 350M people.

Googled "Blue Jeans Cable" monster letter -- first link is the right one:

Or so krw believes. He does believe a lot of other things that are equally nonsensical.

I sat the university entrance examination in Tasmania in 1959 in competition with about 5000 other children - I ended up twelfth on the list of results.

A similarly talented tsar could - on that basis - be expected to out-think all but 840,000 of 350 million people.

He'd probably be bright enough to know that the current US populations is about 313 million people, rather than 350 million.

Greegor never misses an opportunity to post this mantra.
