Triangle of Energy Life

Let's come to grip with the facts. For the past 100 years, too much emphasis has been placed on burning fossil fuels while too little is placed on renewables. Some misguided promoters even cite that as oil prices skyrocket, the U.S. economy can simply shift to coal.

The real problem is that global warming is already upon us, and we cannot afford to continue this irresponsible overuse of non-renewable fuels. It's time to draft a new strategy for balance of power - Sun, Wind, and Fire.

Free Energy from the Sun

At PNGinc we are exploring new ways to utilize well-known power sources such as solar thermal concentrators and related technologies. Our development efforts focus primarily on low-cost solar turbine generator systems.

For several years we have used our free open source developer's forum to provide people around the world with hands-on, DIY solar power information  -- including a CD complete with CAD files for our Experimenter's 4.5" Tesla Turbine.  

Our work continues as we investigate efficient ways to use solar power to crack water into hydrogen (for fuel) & oxygen (to re-oxygenate our homes & atmosphere).

Wind

Low-cost, low-maintenance wind turbines are the key to energy self-sufficiency in non-sunbelt areas. We are testing wing configurations in our wind tunnel to arrive at the best SWT model for a developing world.

Electricity derived from wind power can also be used to convert water into hydrogen and oxygen, both critical 21st century resources.

... and Fire

At the same time, our Phoenix UCB (ultra-clean burner) technology now gives us the power to convert dirty fuels such as waste oil and coal into clean, particulate-free heat without the use of exhaust scrubbers. This one technology could revolutionize the manner in which coal is utilized, while reducing the cost of emissions remediation, resulting in higher efficiencies and reduced pollution. 

State and municipal governments may benefit from this technology by collecting waste products and converting them into ultra-clean heat & power. Raw coal, used automotive oil, restaurant grease, crude oil, paper & plastic waste, and tires can all be used - reducing operational costs while eliminating carbon particulates.
