future of power generation

FUTURE OF

POWER GENERATION

- SWAPNIL JAIN

UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE

OF ALTERNATIVE POWER SOURCES.

ENDING FOSSIL FUELS.

INCREASING POWER NEEDS.

INCREASING POIPULATION.

POLLUTION.

SAVE ENVIRONMENT.

REUSE REDUCE AND RECYCLE.

Space solar power

stations by JAPAN

Space solar power stations by japan:

Panels around 36,000 kms away from the planet.

Expect achievement in 2030.

Wireless power transmission from space.

Microwave transmission of energy.

No cables around the world.

Clean energy from sun.

Tests performrd: on 12 march 2008 Mitsubishi heavy industries limited performed a demonstration where 10 kilowatts electricity was successfully transmitted via a microwave unit to a power receiver at a distance of 500 meters.

Good year electricity

generating tires

BH03

Good year electricity generating tires

BH03

Electricity generation from the friction between tires and road.

Small patches on the tires thermo-piezoelectric layer can collect heat from the sun

on a hot day.

Coil in the center of the tire and the rotating magnet around will produce EMF and

thus electricity.

Concept by good year tires.

FLYING WIND FARMS

FLYING WIND FARMS: FUTURE POWER

HARVESTORS.

Kite like air borne turbines spinning at high altitudes.

Project by NASA

Nano tube cable power transmission system.

High altitude wind hence more power and velocity

Power generated 8 to 27 times the energy generated on earth surface.

Prototype by Italian startup TWIND where a pair of balloons at 2,600 feet. Where turbines were attached to produce electricity.

THORIUM POWER

PLANTS:

THORIUM POWER PLANTS:

Th-232 lies as rock in earth crust.

Th-232 burst into u-233 which result in enormous heat.

Much abundant then URANIUM.

CLEANER and SAFER FUEL.

NO NEUTRON REACTORS required, SELF SUSTAINING in nature.

THORIUM abundance in INDIA dragged it to develop 62 reactors by 2025.

No harmful nuclear waste production involves.

COMMON ALGAE FOR

BIOFUEL PRODUCTION

COMMON ALGAE FOR BIOFUEL

PRODUCTION: UNIVERSITY OF

ARKANSAS Common algae survives on NITROGEN, PHOSHPHORUS, SUNLIGHT AND CO2

ORGANIC ACIDS ARE PRODUCED.

Under process program at ROCKWAY waste water plant in queens, NY.

The process of converting ALGAE TO BUTANOL follow –

MARINE MICROBES AS ELECRI METAL

ACTIVATORS

MARINE MICROBES AS ELECRI METAL

ACTIVATORS:

ELECTRICITY producing MICROBES.

These microbes can be synthesized artificially.

The bacteria show great potential as MICROBIAL FUEL CELL, where electricity

can be generated from the breakdown of domestic or agricultural waste.

Researchers at the university of East Anglia have been studying a strain of

bacteria called shewanella oneidensis, which produces proteins that can transfer

electricity into metals.
