Electric
Energy. What is it? Well electricity is all around us. It occurs
naturally as lighting and static electricity. Its just producing it can be
tricky. It is currently a secondary source. This means that another fuel is
consumed to produce it. With the
exception of hydro electric which is 90% efficient, most ways to generate it
are at best 40% efficient. If we generated it with magnets, We would be
generating electricity directly as a primary source. We are using magnetism to
pull electricity right out of thin air and can achieve efficiencies greater than
100%.
With many types being over 500 to 1000 % efficient.
Currently most
of our electrical generation is done thru heat engines. These are engines that
burn something to produce heat. This heat boils water to produce steam, and then
this steam flows thru a turbine to spin a generator that produces electricity.
Its too bad we don't use magnets.
We could make
energy greater than 100% efficiency with no pollution.
