New wheel design with 8 swinging blades capable of extracting power from either wind or wave forces, it could be submersed either horizontally or vertically in the water or stacked horizontally in vertical tower assembly . Points explaining my enthusiasm toward submersed wheels: + Accommodates with tremendous sea/ocean water area and depths . + Can absorb more power from travelling waves compared with point absorbers . + Simplicity of design and ease of implementation with lowest costs . + Can be arrayed in matrix of thousands units aligned together in rows . + Such arrangement achieves dual goals, one is generating electricity and the other is protecting shore lines from erosion damage caused by embedded wave energy .

This Earth Report video describes Germany’s highly successful program for making solar and other forms of renewable energy cost-effective today. This high quality video explains how the German incentive program works and how it can be duplicated in other countries around the world. It was produced with the help of the World Future Council.

Are there local manufacturers in the Philippines where small homeowners can buy or get service in installing equipments for solar panelling and the likes? maybe even bio-source energy?
If renewable energy is already available, is there also a program for selling (i’m taking small scale) excess energy back to the energy grid in the Philippines?

I was just wondering if renewable energy sources are better to the enviorment then nonrnewable.
ok, thank you to everyone.
i just needed to know if burning stuff like biomass would cause more or less pollution to the word then say, gas.

A device called VIVACE developed at the University of Michigan draws power out of slow water currents to produce clean electricity. It imitates the swim strategy of a school of fish.

I am researching the current energy and renewable energy issues facing the world. The task is very extensive and complicated. Each region has renewable energy opportunities that can be important to environmental issues, economic development, and social needs for all humans. Government agencies, industry, agriculture, educational and research organizations are focused upon massive research efforts. This seems to provide a way to share information, thoughts and ways to help people to improve our lives by conserving energy, find alternative energy resources and realize that fossil fuels are depleting and non-renewable. Can renewable energy be a way to produce additional energy? Networking can provide valuable information to further the advancement of changing habits about energy. I am a farmer with a background in sustainable energy and educational degrees in agriculture. A sustainable energy for industrial and developing countries can improve the quality of life of all human beings.

What is the career called that deals with renewable energy, and teaches students how to design things like, solar panels and wind powered generators. What universities of colleges offer the course? Also can someone provide a link to the college or university page that deals with their renewable energy course.
Does anyone know about the course in Uvic? They have someone guy in their commercial holding a wind powered generator model.

I’m really worried about the economy and looking for a quick certification so I can have some sort of qualification in case it totally goes under. I found a 14 credit hour renewable energy certification at a community college. Do you think this will do any good for finding jobs?

I made this video for my class, Web 2.0. It is about Alternative energy sources, how they work, and how they are used today. I hope you like it!

Im doing this project on energy sources and I need to know what is the most work done on the most renewable energy sources.
