Areva, Schneider Electric to Develop New Energy Storage Solution

Areva, Schneider Electric to Develop New Energy Storage Solution

Areva and Schneider Electric have partnered to develop energy management and storage solutions based on hydrogen fuel cell technology.

Combining their expertise, the companies will develop solutions to address power supply issues at isolated sites and areas where access to power is limited, ensuring the reliability of electrical grids.

Under the terms of the partnership agreement, Areva will provide the energy storage solution made with an electrolyzer and fuel cell – Greenergy Box, while Schneider Electric will deliver integrated solutions that ensure safe, reliable, efficient and green energy production.

Operational since 2011, Greenergy Box, the environmental-friendly solution, will store hydrogen and oxygen from water electrolysis during periods of low energy demand to produce electricity during peak consumption periods, emitting no CO2 emissions.

AREVA claims the safe and reliable system energy storage solution has power system modularity ranging from 200kW to 2MW in addition to high and long-term energy storage capacity is greater than 2MWh a unit.

The latest agreement will allow Schneider Electric to achieve grid parity for renewable energies while managing its intermittency and optimising network connection and as such the company could strengthen its unique position to connect all smart grid players.

Schneider Electric Energy Business executive vice-president Frederic Abbal said the partnership will create a robust commercial partnership for deploying an innovative solution in energy storage.

“AREVA will capitalise on the international presence of Schneider Electric and its leadership in electrical grid management, utilities and infrastructures, industrial and non-residential commercial buildings,” said Abbal.

AREVA Renewables CEO Louis-François Durret said, “This agreement will allow AREVA and Schneider Electric to combine their experience, knowledge and achievements in energy management and storage. It will also place both companies as first of its kind players in this promising market.”

Nikola Tesla’s Free Energy Invention

Nikola Tesla’s Free Energy Invention

Nikola Tesla’s Free Energy Invention Was Suppressed by the Government for Over 90 years But is Now Available to the Public

Anyone can now build a Tesla generator and save 60%–100% in home or office energy costs. The smallest device can easily power a cell phone, but the larger models are equipped to handle appliances, media equipment, camping needs and even whole house electricity. In places such as remote cabins, where bringing in electric wiring would be cost-prohibitive, a Tesla generator can become the perfect affordable alternative.

Affordable Tesla Generator is now available to the public. Creating environmental friendly, free electricity, the dream and brainchild of Nikola Tesla (who obtained approximately 300 patents worldwide for his inventions), has now become a reality for those who wish to supplement their power needs or move totally off the grid.
In 1934, Nikola Tesla, the “Einstein of Electricity” announced to the world that he had “harnessed the rays of the sun and caused them to operate a motive device.” However, rather than support his new findings as they had so many others, the government actually cut his funding and hushed his ground-breaking discovery. At his death, both his body and his papers mysteriously disappeared. Now that the Freedom of Information Act is in play, some of those important blueprints have resurfaced, and Tesla’s invention for environmental friendly electricity has finally become a reality.
By using some 21st century advancements and Tesla’s original concepts, anyone can now build a Tesla generator and save 60%–100% in home or office energy costs. The smallest device can easily power a cell phone, but the larger models are equipped to handle appliances, media equipment, camping needs and even whole house electricity. In places such as remote cabins, where bringing in electric wiring would be cost-prohibitive, a Tesla generator can become the perfect affordable alternative.
These environmental friendly power units can be built with simple, downloadable plans and less than $100 in electrical components that are readily available at the local hardware store. According to Suzanne Wool of Chicago, Illinois, “This technology is the real deal and it changed our lives…”
As electrical bills continue to rise and speculation about fossil fuel increasingly hangs over everyone’s head, knowing that there is an environmentally friendly way to satisfy your power needs without breaking the bank is cause for celebration. Finally breaking free of the control of big energy companies may seem too good to be true, but satisfied customers have found that they can cut their energy bills in half or even become totally independent of the local electrical company if they so choose.
While solar energy has recently been a promoted as an alternative to high energy bills, installation and adaptation always seem to involve spending a small fortune on solar panels and praying for sunny days. Alternatively, the Tesla generator does not require sunshine. It is simply an innovative method of harnessing some of those 200 billion watts of sun power that shoots towards earth each day. And what’s more amazing is that Tesla’s environmental friendly plans are simple and easy to follow. You can literally download them in minutes and build your own unit within the next couple of days or less, just as soon as you collect the necessary components.
The new caretakers of Tesla’s invention share his desire to help the common man. They have made everything you need to build your own power-generating unit easily available and affordable. But they have even gone one step further. Because they are so sure that you will be overwhelmingly satisfied with this product, they are offering a 60-day, no questions asked, money-back guarantee to anyone who is not absolutely happy with this product. It doesn’t get much better than that. This is a win-win situation for everybody involved. Finally Nikola Tesla is seeing his dream realized. Affordable electricity is available to everyone.

Searl Effect Generator (SEG)

Searl Effect Generator (SEG)

“When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that
something is possible, he is almost certainly right.
When he states that something is impossible,
he is very probably wrong.”
Arthur C. Clarke (1917 – 2008), Clarke’s first law

The Searl Effect Generator (SEG) functions along the principles of a linear induction motor (LIM), but designed around a circular track for continuous motion of movable rotors. It is a magnetic prime mover of electromagnetic multi-phased cylindrical rollers over fixed stator rings and free of any mechanical wear or friction.

The SEG’s stators and rollers are magnetic components uniquely magnetized or imprinted with matching magnetic pole patterns.

While the neodymium layer serves as a source or reservoir of electroncharges that are drawn out by electromagnetic induction. These redial currents though the rollers makes for mechnical motion at right angles to both the electric and magnetic fields.

The SEG configuration of rollers in motion, cuts through the magnetic flux with a unique cycloid pattern that is superimposed over an orbit around the circumference of the stator. In this manner, each roller can also induce eddy currents of mutual induction between the copper surfaces to form a frictionless ‘magnetic bearing’ as it generates radial electrical potentials. Frictionless operation enables the SEG to operate without physical wear and thus enabling it to operate with a service expectancy of a lifetime.

Technical Definition of a Surface Operating SEG

A Plate cross-sectional view showing the four material component layers

The generator consists of three stator rings (called Plates) that are composed of four distinctively different materials concentrically layered to each other and fixed to a base. Surrounding each of the Plates is rotors (called rollers) constructed with the same materials but are free to rotate around the Plates. The inner most Plate typically has 12 rollers, 22 on the second stage and 32 on the final Plate. Surrounding the outer most rollers are conventional electromagnets, which by way of magnetic induction taps energy out of the rapid passing of magnetized rollers. These inductive pickup coils are connected in various configurations to supply AC power at a variety of desired voltage and current levels to suit residential or industrial applications.

The SEG is defined as a device constructed of 2,124 component parts that make up 3 plates and 66 roller sets. 12 of the 2,124 components make the 3 plates that act as reaction components. 2,112 components are employed to create 66 roller sets that also act as active components. Each roller set consists of 8 segments constructed from 32 components.

Each segment cannot be less than 34 grams in weight, as the law of the squares defines that value as the lowest value suitable for the reasonable generation of electricity. Therefore the smallest roller set must weigh 272 grams, making a grand total of 2,244 grams per roller set for the smallest surface bound SEG.

The SEG is a step up rotary transformer. In fact it’s a ‘three rotary transformers’ operational system, within the whole unit. The inner transformer output is fed in to the input of the second plate which increases the output of the second unit, which output feeds as an input to the final unit, thereby increasing its final output to a very high voltage. The output windings can be designed to step down the output to a standard 240 volts at the rate of about 15 Kilowatts for a home unit.

From 1946 up to 1968 the Searl Effect was referred to as magnetic bubbles in motion as it was explained in John’s early newsletters. In 1968, it became clear that these magnetic bubbles contained particles in a set manner and that there was a set pattern to how many bubbles were present in the material. Because of this finding, Searl dropped the term ‘magnetic bubbles’ and replace it with the term ‘magnetic quantum material’ and released these details in a newsletter which has since been reproduced in one of Searl’s books a few years ago. A laboratory examination also agrees that somehow the material changes its state when produced in this manner.

When the rollers are brought into close proximity to the SEG plate,

the Searl Effect resonant magnetic field causes electrons to be drawn

into and accelerated through the machine. This process is assisted by

the highly electron-attracting or capturing effect of the neodymium layer.

The unique mechanical and material arrangement of the SEG pulses the neodymium to continually release and replace the surplus electrons that provides both mechanical and electrical power.

View here a video demonstration of the unit (Courtesy of the Searl team).

This SEG mockup is a recent development towards a working prototype which demonstrates many of the core principles of the SEG in motion.

Earths Magnetic Field

Earths Magnetic Field

On a web forum I frequent, a person asked if it would be possible to extract energy from the Earth’s magnetic field. He was told no – static magnetic fields can’t transfer energy. For all practical purposes this is true, but in fact we also know that the earth’s magnetic field isn’t static. It changes from day to day and from year to year – and even second to second. The changes are small over small timescales, but in fact the magnetic poles do drift around and the solar wind does perturb the fields and so forth.

Wikipedia gives a reference saying that typical local variations in the magnetic field at the surface are of the order of 1 nanotesla per second. This is pretty small compared to the total field of perhaps 50 microtesla, but it is measurable with sensitive equipment. Can we extract that energy and free ourselves from reliance on coal and oil? We expect the answer is “no” because otherwise someone would have done it, but we can crunch the numbers to make sure. First, Faraday’s law:

i-d4bb9fe09d6b78eb832985821d8a307f-1.png

Looks bad, but it’s not. In this simple physical situation the calculation above will only involve multiplication.

The right hand side says “Make a closed shape out of a bent wire. A square, a circle, a heart, whatever. Now hold it in place and look at the local magnetic field as it passes through the loop. Take that total magnetic flux and look at the rate at which it’s changing with time.”

The left hand side is just the total potential difference in volts that each electron gains after making one circuit of that loop. It’s that number which will tell us something about how useful this might be as a power source.

Magnetic flux is just the magnetic field multiplied by the area of the loop, assuming the field is perpendicular to and uniform within the loop. We’re interested in the time rate of change of this flux, and let’s say we have a circle with a diameter of 1 meter. The rate of change of the flux is thus (1 nanotesla/second)*(3.14 meters^2).

Which is 3.14×10^-9 volts. Three one-billionths of a volt per square meter of flux-collecting surface. If you tried very hard you might be able to finagle some useful energy out of such a small potential, perhaps with very long superconducting solenoids. But it would be less cost-effective than pretty much any other form of renewable energy by many orders of magnitude.

Still, it was worth a try!
