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 –
Scraping and

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.
