Alternative Energy HQ solar power for homes, wind energy, and bio fuel issues
Some claim this is an old idea that is now being trotted out for profit. Maybe that is so but the bottom line is that this is how energy works these days. There has to be a monitizable channel before some new technology (or even old) gets promoted widely. Check it out and comment below with your thoughts.
Investors have bet billions on developing new forms of energy, so far with mixed results. Engineers at GE Oil & Gas took a different tack. They focused on waste heat. Today, they are pulling clean power out of a lot of hot air.
A typical gas turbine wastes as much as two-thirds of the heat it generates by burning natural gas. Billions of dollars are lost as wasted heat in the U.S. every year. GE’s new technology, called ORegen, short for Organic Regenerator, uses an innovative way to trap heat and convert into megawatts of clean power. The technology does not need any additional source of energy to operate and generates zero greenhouse emissions.
