    Hi,
    My name is Claudio Bianco. I am an inventor, and have just completed my last work called "Continual Wind-Up", with which I take advantage of water oscillations to wind up a cord, and thus generate electricity.
    I believe to have opened a new research field for renewable energy, but since I am the father of this invention, my opinion does not matter.
    I chose to use internet to make the invention known and I would appreciate your opinion.I would therefore like to invite you to discover a
    new way of generating electricity without polluting on www.cuerdacontinua.com

    wow, I think they already have these things at waterfalls called GENERATORS... They're the same.

    actually the name "Continual Wind Up" is doubtful as in Britain to wind someone up - as in "winding a clock" - means to fool them or to make a mockery of them.
    However the invention itself looks pretty amazing on that website but it could just be a hoax wind up

    I myself invented something called the jazz turbine which works by basically using the trombonists of all the worlds jazz musicians to generate enough electricity to recharge batteries as they are playing
    the trombone would have to be modified and as they cost a few thousand dollars each, not many musicians were willing to let me borrow theirs.
    I couldnt afford to buy one so unfortunately its on the drawing board
    and must remain the plan a of forgotten genius

    much like the inventor that started this thread I suspect
    of course you could help me out by sending $2000 or $250 a month to .......

    we've had solar for decades, hydro for centuries and wind for millinea. what we need are new ways to overcome political resistence to any and every way of doing things that doesn't line their (politicians and economic interests playing politics) pockets at the expense of screwing everything else up.

    it sounds like, what your saying about using a water wheel to wind a string, is storing kenetic energy from a waterwheel in somekind of escarpment mechanism.

    this is truely a fine and nonepoluting way of going about it. the same can be done with energy from wind. energy from solar is usualy in the form of electricity, which usualy requires batteries to store and smoothe out, although a motor driving a flywheel with a VERY good bearing is another way of doing that (the perry people mover is an example of transportation propelled by energy stored in a flywheel). solar can also be collected in the form of hot water which can be used to drive heatpumps and even heat engines.

    people do reinvent the wheel all the time. it's easy to not realize when we're doing this considering how little attention popular media pays to how anything really works. or schools too for the most part.

    Hmmm... K, so what are you suggesting, that we have this huge enormous battery sitting near the north pole - I mean a battery the size of texas and then we fuel the world with that as it charges up all the small batteries -

    hmmm I think I will invent the clockwork train that will require 10,000 horses to wind the mechanism and then a brake pad the size of london to stop it

    Are you talking about some kind of tidal generation?

    If you have some sketches, I would be more than glad to take a look at them.

    And unless somebody else can find a critical engineering flaw, filter out the pessimism, it seems to always be trying to shoot down ingenuity. Good luck.

    The engineering flaw is that the batteries would charge each other and eventually since all stored energy would reach an equillibrium there would no stored energy capable of recharging the bigger battery -

    No, no, no. Forget that stuff. The solution is to charge up batteries with lightning :)

    I think you got that exactly right.

    Why else would we still have the OPEC dagger to our throats 30-some years after the first oil embargo showed how vulnerable we all are? Does anyone really believe that American technological savvy couldn't wean us from our oil dependency inside of five years if we simply put our minds to it? Recruit the best and brightest and turn 'em loose! Good god, they'd have a solution ready to go within six months.

    We got a good start on doing exactly that right after the first embargo, but then we elected ourselves a string of Presidential administrations who let it go and we threw it all away ...

    No, not even that, let us become truely enlightened and use our minds! :D
