Hiddink,

I believe J.H. is referring to optimization of the asymmetric capacitor thrust effect by using his U. S. Patented ‘Capacitance Changer’.

T. T. Brown’s duplication…

J.H.’s Capacitance Changer is capable of generating 500 megavolt pulses, a voltage converted from a plasma capacitor –when it turns off.

I am so happy to know NASA emailsite.

I have been looking for Solid State Generator device.

Please advice me if you could help me. Thank you.

The requirements would be that the mountain have a road to bring materials and construction equipment up and a transmission line to bring the power down.

It seems to be a Golden Handshake for some guy who would be out of work otherwise.

(They caused the big black-out of 2003 !).
I will develop safely the system of tapping energy out of the aether like a Saucer does and what was probably used by Tesla for his Pierce Arrow Car in 1931.

STEM video, STEM is a prototipe of a first Kitegen. The video show the plant with a kite on air.

But at what cost? Lightning also produces enormous power. But when to expect lightning? Even OFF SHORE WIND FARMS are to catch up in Developing countries? Such research may be luxury for NASA but there are other forms which can bring energy at affordable price.

All as yet uninvented technology is “complete BS” until it is invented.

(But, for example, solar in space will use microwave power to transmit it to earth-based receivers. Possibly wind power can be sent by microwave)

However it finally gets invented – the wind is up there. We need the power down here. We are nothing if not inventive. Yes, it is an outside chance.

The $100K is not to devise an as-yet uninvented technology, but to handle finding the best site for sharing the airspace, so we narrow down where to site (and therefor, how to design) the technology, enabling some wind inventor to devise the technology. That part will take more than $100K.

The entire idea is complete BS.

1) A tether 10km long that is able to conduct MW’s worth of energy would weigh 100s of tons! 2) A MW range generator weighs 10s of tons. 3) To lift just 200 ton requires a craft the size of the Hindenberg (which was larger than the Titanic and 3.5 times longer than a 747).

The Magenn Power proto-type, as filmed on the Discovery channel, conclusively prove these things simply don’t work!

These guys propose hanging 100’s of tons of power generating and transmission hardware on a lighter than air vehicle blowing around on the end of a 10km long ground attached tether and subjecting it to the 150 mph jetstream?? LOL

And the biggest driver in COE is the turbine cost. While there may be potentially 20 times the wind energy available at 30K ft, the small diameter rotor wind turbine operating at that altitude won’t be able to capture as large a percentage of that energy as a land based turbine. The airborne turbine will also cost about 10 times as much as a land based turbine per kW, it will be much more prone to damage and breakdown, it will require much more maintenance, and will have much more downtime.

The economics don’t make sense.

Let’s get this straight this blog is supposed to be “Clean” Technica. Amateur Technica is more like it!
Chemtrails = toxic water supply and food supply not to mention we breathe this shit!

Airplane contrails don’t usually hang up there and turn into clouds unless you do it on purpose. I wonder what they’re spraying?

The density of the air has a direct correlation to the energy density.
