Inventor Frederick W. Wood, and his associate, David Seigler, from Future Energy Concepts, Inc., give a video tour of the pickup truck that they’ve converted to run on nothing but hydroxy gas, electrolyzed on-board, and on-demand, via a super-efficient electrolysis (from water) method they have developed.

Their system produces 55 liters per minute on 55 amps. The truck recently completed a road trip of more than 3000 miles, running on this set-up.

BRUSSEL, 8 augustus 2010 (IPS) – Het Britse afvalwaterbedrijf GENeco heeft een Volkswagen Kever zo omgebouwd dat de wagen rijdt op methaan, een gas dat vrijkomt bij de verwerking van uitwerpselen.

De eigenschappen van de “Bio-Bug” zijn indrukwekkend: met de uitwerpselen van zeventig huizen kan het wagentje het gemiddelde jaartraject van een Britse wagen afleggen, zo’n 15.000 kilometer. Eén verwerkingsinstallatie kan op die manier meer dan zesduizend wagens op de baan houden, en 19.000 ton CO2 uit de atmosfeer houden.

Bovendien moet de wagen niet onderdoen voor de bezinevariant, zegt Mohammed Saddiq van GENeco. “Vroeger was het gas niet schoon genoeg en had het nog een weerslag op de performantie van motorvoertuigen”, zegt hij in de krant Daily Mail. “Maar nieuwe technologie laat toe dat de Bio-Bug net zo rijdt als een conventionele auto, en dat met een duurzame brandstof.”

Het gas voor de Bio-Bug is voorlopig volledig afkomstig van menselijke uitwerpselen, maar in de toekomst kan volgens GENeco ook voedselafval gebruikt worden.

Guiyang, China – Philips gaat deelnemen in het 1000-Village Solar LED-programma, een initiatief dat door The Climate Group en de One Foundation is opgezet om landelijke gemeenschappen in China te voorzien van energiezuinige LED-verlichting op zonne-energie.

De betrokkenheid van Philips bij het programma werd formeel bekendgemaakt als onderdeel van een evenement van The Climate Group in Xiao Xi Chong, een van de dertien dorpen in de regio rondom Guiyang City waar het project actief is. Het evenement werd bijgewoond door Tony Blair, de voormalige premier van Groot-Brittannië en toonaangevend partner in The Climate Group; Changhua Wu, directeur van The Climate Group Greater China; Weixiang Yu, locoburgemeester van Guiyang; en Liangqi Ling, algemeen manager van Philips Lighting Greater China.

Het 1000-Village programma dat in augustus 2009 van start is gegaan in Guiyang City, richt zich op het onderzoeken van de grootschalige toepassing en bevordering van schone technologie in landelijke gebieden, en omvat zowel operationele aspecten als milieubeleid en technologische oplossingen. Het programma heeft als doelstelling de komende vijf jaar de toepassing van schone technologie te bevorderen in 1000 dorpen in China en andere landen, en alvast tijdens het eerste jaar LED-verlichtingsoplossingen te realiseren in meer dan 40 administratieve dorpen in landelijke gebieden van China.

Tijdens het evenement, dat ook de eerste verjaardag markeerde van het 1000-Village programma en de aandacht voor het ‘mobiliseren van de ontwikkeling van nieuwe landelijke energie’, zei mevrouw Wu Changhua, Directeur van The Climate Group Greater China: “De eerste fase van het 1000-Village programma – het demonstreren van de LED-verlichtingstechnologie op zonne-energie – is succesvol afgerond. Veertig dorpen hebben deelgenomen aan het programma, ook in gebieden die een gebrek aan zonlicht hebben zoals Chongqing, Chengdu en Guiyang.”

Mevrouw Changhua voegde daaraan toe: “In het laatste jaar heeft The Climate Group bewezen hoe waardevol LED-verlichting op zonne-energie is het Chinese platteland, aangezien die geen bekabeling vereist. Bovendien helpt de verbetering van openbare verlichting landelijke gebieden te versterken op socio-cultureel vlak. Dit is een uitstekend voorbeeld van een schone technologie die niet alleen de kosten beperkt en de uitstoot van broeikasgassen vermindert, maar ook de levenswijze en levenskwaliteit van de mensen verbetert.”

De betrokkenheid van Philips bij het project biedt verdere kansen om het leven van mensen te verbeteren met licht door de toepassing van innovatieve LED-verlichtingssoplossingen. Als officiële partner in het programma heeft Philips een reeks verlichtingssystemen geschonken, waaronder een op maat aangepaste intelligente wegverlichtingsarmatuur op zonne-energie voor Guiyang, die lichtregeling combineert met tijdgebonden regeling om het benutten van zonlicht te optimaliseren op bewolkte en regenachtige dagen in het gebied.

De heer Liangqi Ling, algemeen manager van Philips Lighting Greater China, zei: “Wij hopen dat LED-verlichting op zonne-energie breder erkend en toegepast zal gaan worden door onze betrokkenheid bij dit programma.  We doen inspanningen om te laten zien hoe we de kosten en de negatieve invloed van broeikasgassenuitstoot kunnen reduceren. Als wereldwijde markleider in de verlichtingsindustrie is Philips moreel verplicht de overschakeling op groene energie te bevorderen op alle terreinen van de maatschappij. Dankzij het 1000-Village Project kan Philips de levenskwaliteit van de dorpelingen verbeteren via uitstekende, energiezuinige verlichting. Ook kunnen we verder onderzoek doen naar duurzame landelijke ontwikkeling als onderdeel van een grotere bijdrage aan de volledige realisatie van een CO2-neutrale maatschappij en de bouw van nieuwe dorpen.”

For the past two years, The Orion Project has worked to raise funds to build a facility where we can bring scientists and inventors together in a peaceful type of Manhattan Project for energy – to develop new sources of energy that will get us off the fossil fuel economy. We have also worked to identify scientists and inventors capable of this work. For the past hundred years, scientists such as Nicola Tesla have worked on such devices. The fact that many have tried, and we are still using predominantly fossil fuels – the same fuels used in the 1800s – can be illustrated by our recent experience.

We reported last December that we had under contract a very talented scientist who wanted to work with us. Because he still is doing work for a private company that is linked to the Intelligence Community, he preferred working with his identity concealed. A side note is that he had agreed to work with us in the fall of 2008. At that time, he met with the Board of Directors and took a contract home to read and sign, but called us within three days saying that he was being deployed abroad for fifteen months. We heard nothing else from him until a year later – precisely after Dr. Greer publicly disclosed the energy briefing he had put together for President Obama.

He resurfaced and said that he wanted to work with us to develop new energy technologies. He met with the Board of Directors again. He assured us that he was cleared by his “shepherds” in the Intelligence Community to work with us to build advanced energy systems, but he was not allowed to work on advanced propulsion systems – that is, he could build systems to power our houses and businesses, but he would not be allowed to reproduce the advanced propulsion systems he has developed in the past.

We spent a long weekend with him and agreed upon a system he described that would be akin to a Tesla-type high-voltage system that would extract energy out of the Earth’s energy field. It could run twenty-four hours a day, independent of solar energy or wind, and be more cost-effective, as well as non-polluting. This scientist also described three more technologies he could and would develop for us. He and his wife agreed that they wanted to work with us and would move to Virginia when we could fund a facility. They presented a timeline for completion of the first device, with work on the other devices to follow after that. Given his credentials and independent high-level confirmation from scientists who had reproduced his work, we were excited to move forward with this particular scientist.

Things went well and were very positive for the first couple of months. He contacted Dr. Bravo several times a week to say he was working on the project and was quite excited about it, although he apologized that the work was going more slowly than he had hoped.

In mid-March, there was a sudden change. He called Dr. Bravo to say that he was receiving threats from “foreign nationals” that had to do with his other job obligations. He said that phone calls with the Orion Project Board had been recorded and “played back” to him. He said there was no problem with us (The Orion Project) – in fact, several times over the past couple of months, he reiterated that his handlers in the Intelligence Community had checked us out and okayed our working together. He confirmed to Dr. Bravo that he planned to finish the device he was working on and come to work with us in the future. But then, over a course of six days, he changed his stance from “Yes, I’m anxious and excited about working with you guys” to “No, I can’t work with you.”

Dr. Bravo had multiple conversations with him during that period. He said several people who worked in “security” visited him and they gave him disturbing information. One of these he identified (and named) was a past Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Apparently, he was getting disinformation – because he had previously mentioned multiple times that we had been thoroughly checked out by the Intelligence Community before he was allowed to sign a contract with us.

Nothing had changed about us in the past few months. Hence, someone, somewhere must have decided that he indeed was capable of producing a paradigm-changing device, and The Orion Project was the group that could get it out to the world – and wanted that work to stop. This is called oppositional research or “oppo research”, and it consists of distorting truth or telling absolute lies meant to deceive. One absurd statement he made is that he was told that we were teaching terrorists how to explode weapons of mass destruction by using their minds.

Just after this occurred, three more scientists who had agreed to work with us – with impeccable credentials and experience in the aerospace industry, a major government laboratory and military projects – were all provided with disinformation or threatened in some way to keep them from working with us. This is an astonishing example of how a group who wishes to retain power – this group called “Majestic” – keeps its grip on the world, maintaining the fossil fuel economy with its multi-trillion dollar derivatives value. Coal-mine shafts collapse worldwide and kill many, vast amounts of oil continue to spew into the Gulf of Mexico, while many in the world continue without basic energy resources.

We must have been on the right track for these beasts to circle their wagons with illegal wire-tapping of our conversations, interference with a legal contract, and bringing in a powerful former CIA director to intimidate and kill this initiative.

Further, since we started The Orion Project, Dr. Greer has received multiple death threats and repeatedly been stalked. This has accelerated in the last year. There are FBI files open on this as well as local law enforcement files. Dr. Greer’s computer was hacked into by one of the most lethal programs a criminal can use. One of our chief engineers who is volunteering with The Orion Project had his email hacked into. A specific email from an inventor with a sensitive document that involved a Department of Defense memo and the inventor’s contact information was deleted from his inbox – these were the only things tampered with.

So, what can we do in the face of these highly orchestrated suppression efforts?

We have, in the last couple of weeks, created a very extensive file (including both audio and paper documents) that contains information relating to these events. In the event that anything happens to any of us (injury, false legal charges, disappearance, death), and we cannot go forward, copies of this information will be released to the public. The file includes every bit of information about the scientists who can do this work and are not allowed to as well as very reliable evidence and information about those involved in the suppression – names, addresses, phone numbers, specific details of actions.

We have contacts who can get it to the President, as well as the highest people in the media and Hollywood. And it will be released to you. We feel this is the best strategic step we can take because we cannot enter into protracted legal battles with these individuals with limitless money and power. Our one weapon – the best one we could have – is the truth, and the documentation we have of the truth.

Our goal is not to get into endless fights with these corrupt individuals; we just want to give humanity a chance to move forward with earth-saving, life-saving technologies.

We have not raised the three million dollars we had hoped for to open a laboratory and invest in equipment and staff. We have only received enough to provide modest grants to people working on their own. With no facility, people who are senior scientists and engineers cannot quit their day jobs without assurance that we have a place to bring them and give them salaries.

We have concluded at this point that people working on their own without collaborative support or project management are not going to be able to do this work successfully. If there is anyone who has a fully operational technology, please go the www.theorionproject.org and review the protocol we have for moving forward. Of course, we will sign non-disclosure agreements.

We have some very qualified engineers who understand the complexity and the urgency of the situation. Dr. Greer, Dr. Loder, Dr. Bravo, and these engineers are volunteering their time and energy. None of us has ever taken a salary or any compensation for our efforts solely because we believe in what we are doing. So, if you know anyone or any group who has a legitimate technology and they are willing to cooperate transparently and honestly with the testing and reproduction of it so that it can be verified and shown to be legitimate, they are welcome to contact us.

With any technology, it is crucial to follow the scientific method of evaluation. There are inventors who say they have technologies that work, but they do not know how they work. Over the years, Dr. Greer has uncovered many frauds. An example has to do with one technology that Dr. Greer and Dr. Loder were called to evaluate. This was brought from another country and was actually a circuit embedded in a plastic resin that appeared to be pulling energy from the zero point or ether. The late Eugene Mallove, PhD (MIT – he is the scientist who blew the whistle on the distortion of cold fusion data and the coverup) was also involved in this evaluation. It turned out that this technology was actually a clever circuit that was tricking the meters and causing what is known as a power phase angle shift (the electronics people know what this means), but the bottom line is that many people had sunk money into this, and it was a clever fraud. This is why we require transparency. We are professionals. We have very professional engineers. We do not wish to be involved in a sleight of hand trick. We also cannot at this time fund people’s ideas. We have come to the realization that in order to get this work done, we must set up a secure lab, properly equipped with scientific research equipment and a professional scientific staff.

We are also in the process of completing a professional proposal for funding. The individual writing it is first-rate and highly qualified. We have an extensive amount of research and information in this proposal that we believe will make it the best proposal put forward in the new energy field. We will make this proposal available to foundations. We have always realized that adequately outfitting a lab and bringing in the best talent will require millions of dollars. Although we have just endured the intimidation of these scientists (reported above), several more excellent scientists stand ready to work with us. So, if you are a personal point of contact to someone you think would be interested in funding really new energy sources, please feel free to contact us.

It has been a very trying two years, culminating in the recent events we have just reported. Yet we see the good future that is possible for humanity. We want to thank the many amazing people throughout the world who have supported our efforts and continue to support us.

Thank you,

The Board of Directors of The Orion Project

Boven zijn twee zonnekrachtcentrales te zien, verspreid rond twee torens.

De grootste aan de linkerkant, is PS20 gedoopt door de Spaanse eigenaar Solucar en nog niet afgebouwd. De kleinere aan de rechterkant, PS10, is reeds in gebruik en voorziet het netwerk van elektriciteit.

Beide werken door de energie van de Spaanse zon te kanaliseren in een enkele straal van warmte. Deze warmte wordt vervolgens gebruikt om water te koken, wat genoeg stoom produceert om een serie turbines te laten draaien.

Ongeveer 92% van de warmte van de zon wordt direct omgezet in elektriciteit. De hoeveelheid energie die geproduceerd wordt door dergelijke centrales is van dusdanige omvang dat geopperd wordt dat het gebruikt kan worden om waterstof te onderscheiden van water om milieuvriendelijke auto’s op te laten rijden.

Meer van dit soort centrales staan gepland voor Marokko en Algerije.
