Combating Peak Oil With Sunshine and Aluminium

Combating Peak Oil With Sunshine and Aluminium

T Ray Deal, futurist author of 'Unlimited Energy,' reveals how the world will use Sunlight and Aluminium as a fuel to provide renewable energy in the near future.

(PRWEB) September 22, 2005 -- There are two major ways of using sunlight. The first is by direct conversion into electricity with solar panels and either transmission where distance permits, or by conversion into a renewable fuel.

The second use of sunlight is to heat up very large areas similar to greenhouses and use the hot air produced. The hot air then rises up a chimney and drives turbines which produce electricity.

Countries with hot deserts are the ideal sites for making renewable fuels. Large area, low cost panels are already in an advanced stage of development. As oil is depleted investment will replace oil production with renewable energy products. Such countries are usually free from Mother Nature producing Hurricanes such as Rita.

The Australian Solar Tower project, already being financed, will provide electricity for 200,000 homes from one such site. Google...Solar Tower Australia... This site has a video of how the tower works.

Such a chimney would also provide water for desert islands and clear air in cities suffering from long term pollution. The book ‘Unlimited Energy’ details how.

Renewable fuels have always been thought of as Hydrogen based, but transport and safety is a major problem. Aluminum is currently used as an explosion enhancer and is being developed as a rocket fuel and bio-fuel enhancer. The next stage is to use it as renewable fuel.

Electricity from sunlight is the means of recycling aluminium with no carbon cost to the Planet. Shipping to countries via boat is easy and existing oil tankers can be converted.

Volume for volume, aluminium gives off twice as much heat as oil when burnt in oxygen, with no pollution, and burns fiercely. Oxygen can be easily be made with machines already in use by the steel industry or collected from the recycling process. The resultant oxide can then be recycled back to aluminium.

A fuel cell, that uses Aluminium wire, has been developed. It produces hydrogen and oxygen in enough quantities to efficiently run a car. The spent fuel is then electro-chemically recycled back to Aluminium and used again.

When there is low flight activity the weather changes. Finding a way of reducing the effects of aircraft double glazing the world with their flight trails is still a long way off. Until then it is essential to use aircraft that are efficient.

...Napoleon served food for his honored guests on Aluminium whilst the less favoured ate off pure Gold...A Roman Emperor is said to have killed the only man to make Aluminum from clay, in fear that it would devalue his store of gold...

...Dubai, the Gold Capital of the Middle East, has just completed a large investment in Aluminium production in India... Just as oil companies are now merging, also look for Aluminium companies doing the same thing... PRNs may be a good indicator of investment potential...
