This web site is devoted to alternative energy, including
solar, wind, water, internal combustion, efficient lighting and energy
conservation. Our focus is towards the do it yourselfer and the
experimenter, though we hope the information here is helpful to anyone
with an interest in remote power systems. We'll have information
about our own experiments and experiences--successes and failures alike.
Please visit our "about us" page for further information about
who we are and what we do! Browse this web site to find our
discussion board, and an interesting line of products for folks who make
their electricity at home. http://www.otherpower.com/
Some Of My Adventures With

In the seventies the back to the land movement coaxed many people to
seek out land upon which to start such a lifestyle. The concept that
motivated most of the land seekers was to feel healthy naturally and
independent of a controlling economic or political system. Being 30
years old and a farm boy from Manitoba, Canada I was different from most
in the movement in that I actually had some experience with farming and
being on the land. Many of the city people involved new very little
about what the land required from them in order for it to provide for
them. http://www.broeckx.org/main.php3?id=62

Welcome to Reality Sculptors!
There are many problems and challenges facing us in the world today.
And many more awaiting us in the future. Unfortunately, many of the ones
we face right now are holdovers from the past. These old problems are
keeping us bogged down, and preventing us from making advances as fast
as we could be. http://reality.sculptors.com/what-sort.html
As a Design
Scientist, I try to analyze issues that are current problems, step
outside of their framework to see things from a larger perspective, and
then try to integrate ideas from other areas in order to solve the
problem at hand.
Some of my
primary interests are in finding solutions to homelessness,
hunger, poverty,
traffic
congestion, and poor
education. I'm also interested in building floating
cities on the oceans, as a way of reducing the perception that earth
is overcrowded. (It isn't really overcrowded, BTW, but the people living
in the cities all seem to think so, so I figured perhaps we need to
offer them some alternatives to the crowded conditions they live in,
now. :-) )
Rebuild America is committed to helping
communities be stronger, cleaner, and more environmentally and
economically sound through smarter energy use. The program starts with
building renovation-and expands from there-to include renewable energy,
efficient new building design, energy education, and other innovative
energy and resource conservation measures. Ultimately, communities
benefit from revitalized neighborhoods and main streets, improved school
facilities, better low-income housing, and the positive economic impact
brought by keeping local dollars at home. For more information about the
Rebuild America Program, visit

Hello,
my name is Ben Wiens and I am an applied energy scientist.
The goal in my Infosite is to supply simplified information about
energy. This does not mean that advanced topics are not covered. Theoretical
topics such as Relativity, Superstring theories, force fields,
wavicles, virtual particles, laws of energy, forms of energy, carnot's
law, and entropy are covered. Practical technologies such as fuel
cells, gas turbines, chemical-looping, chemical recuperation, combined
cycles, tidal power, solar cells, cogeneration are also analyzed in
detail. Related issues such as transportation technologies,
environmental concerns and even the politics of energy are examined. I
have rated the articles with level numbers such as Year 12 which
indicate the minimum years of formal science education that are
generally required to reasonably understand them. Many modern
scientific developments involve energy concepts from biology,
chemistry and physics. It is beneficial to group the basic concepts of
energy from the different areas of science together. Such a common study
of energy is called energy science. All of the individual
files on this website are listed in this webpage or sitemap
and can be viewed by clicking on the file title. Keep scrolling down.

http://www.windmills.co.nz/ - The

other form of "energy" was utilized.
http://www.veggievan.org - It's
called "The Veggie Van" and it's fueled with used vegetable
oil from fast food restaurants. During the summers of 1997 and
1998, the Veggie Van took America by storm, logging over 25,000 miles on
biodiesel fuel and appearing on the Today Show, Dateline, and CNN.
Author and photographer Joshua Tickell
drove the Veggie Van across the US and wrote the definitive book on
using vegetable oil as an alternative fuel. Public Relations expert Kaia
Roman coordinated press and media activities for the Veggie Van and
edited the first and second editions of From the Fryer to the Fuel Tank.
Established in 1980, the Alternative
Technology Association (ATA) is a non-profit community group
that aims to use and promote environmentally friendly technology.
We are interested in renewable energy sources such as the sun, wind and
water; building with natural materials and conserving energy.
The ATA has around one thousand members across Australia, conducts
regular meetings, workshops and courses, and produces a range of
educational publications. |
If your interest is OFF-GRID LIVING, alternative energy, renewable
energy, solar,
photovoltaic, and/or homesteading: THIS IS THE SITE FOR YOU !
"Off-Griders" are producing energy as an alternative to
being dependent on a major utility company.
Solar, wind, and hybrid generation are the primary ways of being
self-sufficient. Off-grid living is a
unique lifestyle; sometimes a balance between doing without, yet having
so much. Hope you enjoy !

One of the penalties of an ecological education is
that one lives alone in a world of wounds. Much of the damage inflicted
on land is quite invisible to laymen. An ecologist must either harden his shell
and make believe that the consequences of science are none of his business, or
he must be the doctor who sees the marks of death in a community that believes
itself well and does not want to be told otherwise. Aldo Leopold

Alternative energy
systems for the home or small property owner who is interested
in natural energy. The system collects solar energy using
heliostat arrays.
I want to use these web pages as a forum for:
- The interchange of ideas related to the production of
natural energy.
- Heliostat (mirror) based concentrator solar collectors.
- Electric vehicles (battery powered).
- Pneumatic vehicles (compressed air powered).
- Hybrid vehicles.

Welcome to earthDot, the online interactive magazine on
environmental issues that affect everything under the sun, and then some!
The way this site works is we all. . . this means you, too. . .
find articles posted anywhere on the 'Net (or published elsewhere, with
permission from the author, or write an original piece yourself) and
submit the story with your take on it and a URL (Internet address) where
we can go to read it. Then everyone who does can come back here and
comment on it, add new information and stories, argue or agree with you,
share resources.

I'd put my money on the sun and
solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait 'til
oil and coal run out before we tackle that.
