    Underwater Turbines to Harness the Gulf Stream

    The underwater stream roughly contains around 21,000 times more energy than the Niagara Falls and by some estimates, could potentially provide up to one-third of Florida's electricity needs. The "marine energy" industry has come up with a number of ideas to make use of the movement of water...

    Solar Heaters

    The intense rays set the sails on fire and staved off the invasion. Since Archimedes, many of the most progressive thinkers have harnessed the power of the sun. The effect is similar to that of our atmosphere which traps sunlight and warms the earth.

    Self sustaining power

    The dynamo model that would explain the earths persistent magnetism. If we had a material that could conduct electricity a thousand times better than copper, the system would indeed yield a self-sustaining current.
