Rockets are inefficient because they have to carry heavy propellant, stuff that can be expelled to produce lift. This promises to be a game changer ... propulsion without propellant. 

This is work done in Russia inspired by the magnetic generator with antigravity effect originally invented by John Searle in the 1950s. The salient effects, self-running operation and anti-gravity effects among other things, were confirmed. 

Magnetohydrodynamic marine thruster technology? No moving parts required for this type of turbine... 

An Austro/Hungarian collaboration has allowed to overcome limits of hydrogen combustion motors. Port Fuel Injection of water moderates combustion and increases motor power.

Interesting conference coming up on cutting edge alt technology. And they have a record of decades of conferences ... a wealth of information.

This website explains in some detail the company's ready-to-use implementation of Cold Fusion, or let's rather call it Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR), how this might be put to use in energy production. 

Keep an open mind, there are energy solutions out there that were previously not given a fair hearing ... this may be one of them. 

The Safire project of Aureon Energy - creating stable self-confining electric hydrogen plasma in a reactor -  has been in research for a decade. It is now ready to get into nuclear waste remediation and energy production... 

Would be nice if what for now is a rumor could turn into actual reality where one day we might be able to buy a water powered car, not to mention a water powered electricity generator for our house...

"Disclaimer: Our content is based on facts, rumors, and fiction."

A fuelless space drive working with electricity only, is being tested in space... but that headline ... "defies known laws of physics" is rather sensionalistic.

I think we should be careful with terms like "the known laws of physics"., because If something can violate those "laws" as observation seems to suggest, then obviously they weren't laws in the first place but rather theories or suppositions.

Finally we have some inventors who don't want to be 'inventors' taking out patents but youtubers who simply make videos of what they found, offering what they have just invented to the world to build and use ...

Isn't it telling that water can be used as a propellant in space with relative ease, but that a similar technology has not been developed to run our cars and other transport here on earth... 

This looks interesting and serious. Sustained production of 12 KW with motor-rotated permanent magnet type generator. Prototype stage for now.

We know what gravity does but we haven't quite figured out what causes it or how to reverse it ... except perhaps in dream land. 

Can AI be defeated by AI? Can it support human creativity instead the designs of tose corporate giants? Here's an interesting video interview I just came across as if "by chance"...

Let's talk about information technology for a moment and look at its potential for misuse. Google is a great example of that. 

A company in Belgium is planning and constructing micro hydro power plants that are taking some river water, running it through a vortex power plant and returning to the river with minimal altitude differences. This looks like a very doable way to tap hydro potential without large projects requiring dams and deeply affecting the environment... 

China is pushing ahead with fusion energy, and it seems they may be ahead of other contendents with this technology. This is the kind of technology that could help get us off hydrocarbons as fuel. Don't wait for it though. Fusion energy has been "around the corner" for decades now. May this be the good one. 

Industry is getting serious about hydrogen. One application is to use excess electrical power to produce hydrogen, which is then used to drive generators to supply power that isn't subject to the intermittency of wind and solar energy. 

Hydrogen is a gas that can be used to heat and to cleanly drive all kinds of machinery including motors and turbines. If made by electrolysis using renewable energy such as solar or wind, it is called 'green hydrogen'. Here is a new way of making the stuff. 

If we are to change over to renewable energy, which is largely intermittent, then we need proper methods of storing all that energy in large amounts. This video is about some of the options out there. 

What a good idea - develop technology that bores holes in the ground with microwave lasers rather than physical drill bits to convert existing plants that burn coal or gas and let the earth do the work of making the steam... 

Change in battery technology on the horizon. Although these are incremental changes, they could ease the pressure battery production puts on the environment and on the people, often children, doing the mining... 

With hydrogen or water-as-fuel technology readily available, why are we stuck on hydrocarbons like gasoline or diesel fuel for running motors and generators? Could there be some hidden interests involved...

Google engineers and executives think an AI cannot be a sentient being. We do have some trouble even defining sentience. But what if a soul chose a computer's neural network instead of a human (baby) body to take up residence in ... impossible?

Based on the concept of hydrogen/boron fusion in an unconventional magnetic environment, we have here an alternative energy technology under development that could help eliminate pollution from fossil fuels substituting with low-cost energy from direct conversion to electricity of the fusion-produced highly energetic helium particles... 

While this is not a lot of energy, we are going in the right direction. Nikola Tesla's idea that we would learn to latch on to the "wheelwork of nature" is definitely coming closer, one small step at a time.  

Yes - some real progress in understanding magnetic materials and their properties ... lends itself to myriad technological uses, including catalytic splitting of water to obtain hydrogen.

Sounds like good progress for getting fast from one place to the other ... if your teleportation service is not working

Comment by a friend: "Gee.. so maybe there is more to the nano palladium and nickel mixtures described by Andrea Rossi and other proponents of LENR/ ColdFusion."

Copper has been known to disinfect, meaning to kill bacteria very efficiently, but it appears that with a specially designed surface, the metal is even more effective. Hospitals, pay attention... 

Finally someone who can seriously reduce radioactivity levels orders of magnitude faster than the natural half life of those elements, and who has demonstrated in the real world that they can do so. 

A little bit of progress on pushing more of our traffic into the air. More independence than cars and motorbikes, and perhaps it really is better to leave the streets to people walking and biking or skateboarding... 

Using electricity to induce rain from existing clouds... crude but efficient it seems. Something similar has been done with more subtle energies, but science never caught on, so now they are down to "electroshock therapy" for the clouds... 

This looks like some real progress in battery technology. Abundant non-toxic materials graphite and aluminium, fast charging and three times the energy density of lithium-ion. 

Tensegrity - or tensional integrity - a concept discovered and explored by Buckminster Fuller, whose best known structure built on that principle is the Geodesic Dome... 

One of John F Kennedy's advanced projects of energy production ... sadly dropped after JFK was assassinated... 

Looks like a useful invention to make people's lives a little easier...

This looks like a much needed advance in our ability to store hydrogen to be released on demand. It might get fuel cells (making electricity from hydrogen) off the ground into more widespread application. 

So neat ... invisibility shield with simple materials... 

Batteries for a home solar system that are not based on rare and difficult-to-mine raw materials ... seems like a good idea. They are too heavy for use in cars, but in a home that is no real problem. 

Air has always been part of the "fuel" of jet engines, helped by some combustible hydrocarbon stuff. Now a Chinese professor says we could do without the hydrocarbons, by turning the air directly into plasma using electricity and microwaves. It would certainly help to make cleaner air transport technology.

This interview of Ben Gertzel at London Real centers around the possible future development of artificial intelligence (AI), from today's limited forms into one that is more generally "aware" and could, conceivably, outdo humans in being intelligent. One of the questions is whether AI should be in the hands of humans, in a distributed, open way, or whether it should it be locked up and under the control of large corporations. The answer to that could make the difference between AI developing into something benevolent or whether it might turn out to be a forece adversarial to humans. 

Right to repair ... something long overdue in the world of Technology. Apparently it took an epidemic for lawmakers to start thinking of this...

We are learning about light...

Batteries - for large scale energy storage - are the weak link in renewable energy. Some good research going on to substitute expensive lithium with sodium...

This new battery technology has been in the works for some years, and it seems now there is a patent application. Things take time...

Some years ago we heard that the Hydrogen economy is to be our future, but then ... fossil fuel interests made sure we forgot. Meanwhile Yull Brown's HHO technology is available, and is for sale in China.

This looks like a milestone in plasma based energy production, with an added bonus, the capability to remediate, meaning to render harmless, nuclear waste materials.

Great idea, to entrain air by flowing vapor over curved surfaces... we might one day be flying in one of these, although a lot of engineering work still has to go into making them.

Water as fuel ... it has been done. Water is disassociated into hydrogen and oxygen, which can be "burned" in an internal combustion engine. Stanley Meyer was particularly advanced with his invention, he had converted a Dune Buggy to run on water and was getting ready to get his hydrogen technology into production as he died an untimely death ... under mysterious circumstances.. Sooner or later, someone will replicate the feat.

Here's an interesting new development in airplane propulsion. It works with pressurised air producing air flow in specially designed "jets" that can power drones and small aircraft more efficiently than propellers. 

Hydrogen Boron fusion ... an Australian development not quite ready to make a reactor yet, but a good prospect on the horizon for cheap-and-simple fusion power that can be directly converted to electricity.

Graphene (ultra flat carbon) was invented some years ago. Here is the first actual application in the market...

A good way to generate electricity from water that is anyway flowing to supply the city's users...

We have the plastic waste ... might as well make something useful out of it.

That looks like good progress. Commercial air travel electrified... 

David LaPoint built and shows in this video an operating ion thruster, an electromagnetic plasma space drive... 

Good research by a French scientist. We must find a way to make nuclear waste harmless. Storing radioactive waste for thousands of years is just idiocy ... unacceptable. 

Viktor Schauberger, the Austrian inventor, was way ahead of his time using the principle of vortex action to achieve lift and propulsion...

Real progress in using the tidal forces of the oceans for energy production...

Looks like useful technology to clean up our plastic mess...

Here we go ... technological progress on the horizon for electric cars and indeed anything that uses batteries. Nine times the energy density of today's lithium-ion batteries. Actually, it isn't a battery that has to be re-charged but a chemical fuel cell that works with aluminium and air, plus an electrolyte. Once exhausted, it gets swapped out for a new one, and the old one is re-cycled. 

This is one technological development that should NOT go ahead. Phones and WiFi cause enough suffering as it is, and there are biocompatible alternatives...

LiFi is an ideal technology to make 5G more friendly to living creatures, which tend to suffer with the microwave energy emitted by current WiFi and mobile phone technology... 

Can permanent magnets be configured to actually produce energy? This inventor says yes, and he has a unit in production...

Gravitricity or gravitational storage of electricity is the cheapest known way of storing electricity at utility scale, and it is simple - a technological walk-in-the-park. 

How about increasing the fuel efficiency of a LPG or diesel powered electricity generator? Brown's gas, a hydrogen/oxygen mixture obtained from water, can do it!

This is something that could be very useful in emergency situations, in space, and of course as a means to curb our over-use of agricultural land to grow grains for cows... veggie burgers or rather Solar burgers - mmmmhh

Wireless transmission of electricity around the world to any point you care to "catch it" ... that brings to mind the genius of Tesla. This is just a heads-uip. It isn't active yet, but does sound very interesting.

Something like this was proposed by a German engineer in the late 1980s ... only that no one was ready to listen. The guy said the solar panels should be encased in glass with air bubbles so the elements will swim and resist sea water corrosion, and they could be linked together.

Instead of sending the electricity to land through cables, he proposed it could be used to electrolyse sea water and the hydrogen could then be transported to land by tanker ship, to be used in various combinations, gaseous or liquid, as a fuel that does not require oil drilling.

Watching an interview about new energy technologies and an interesting point is made by Susan Manewich. Those exotic technologies are morally based, meaning we can develop and use them only if and when we are morally ready for them, when we are ready to use them for the advancement of not only humanity but life in the cosmos...

If you know how many pallets are used to transport things around the globe, you will appreciate how much of a difference this technological solution can make. Huge numbers of trees spared and an otherwise unused resource put to good use...

Cavitation Energy is a method of steam production much more efficient than the currently used coal, oil and atomic fission based water heating used in our power plants. 

CES works by impacting water at super high speeds on a hard surface, where it releases heat through cavitation (sonoluminescence) and through oxygen/hydrogen explosion. 

Storing energy as compressed air sounds good in principle, although it's only in the idea stage for now. If they could also change those windmills to directly compress air instead of generating electricity and then running a compressor, one energy conversion step and the losses inherent in it could be eliminated, making the whole process more efficient.

Conversion of heat into cold using the principle of thermoacoustics... hard to explain but apparently it works like a charm.

Technologies that would threaten the status quo and current investments have been unceremoniously kept from public use by strong commercial interests...

Magnets can light a light bulb without external electricity input...

Harvesting water from relatively dry desert air is becoming a definite technological possibility...

Here is an example of a not-so-cool future technology being rolled out ... time to put our foot down?

This opens some interesting possibilities ... perhaps we won't have to mistreat and kill millions of animals for food in the future.

Patents are often used as a means of actually keeping technological advances out of the hands of the public. Thousands of inventors found that, when they were patenting their invention, instead of a patent they got a gag order. Do not speak about this patent and do not work on it any more, it is of military significance, so no one better know about it...

Whirlpool hydroelectric with minimal altitude differential. Decentralized hydroelectric power without the need for a dam...

Use a candle to heat your room. A neat low-tech way to get warm...

This technology, if developed further and put in production, could make a dent in the huge amount of nuclear waste no one knows what to do with, and it could give us 'eternal' batteries...

This is some really "far out there" technology being developed which is based on a new understanding of physics that does not exclude consciousness but actually uses it for applications such as energy production, health, agriculture, transport and - yes - advanced space travel tech. 

This looks very promising. Full spectrum light at a cost potentially lower than LEDs...

Certainly a step in the right direction...

This would be much better than an electro chemical battery ... as long as the phones we power with it don't microwave us to death...

An electric air vehicle with decent range and speed - could revolutionize personal transport...

About all those batteries our devices use and then we throw them away ... some brave open hardware geeks are putting together a re-charger that can regenerate both rechargeables as well as the normal alcaline batteries...

An Indian engineer has created a device that takes water out of the air. Runs on batteries for now but solar will be the next step.

LED lights are the future ... or so it might seem. But it turns out that they leave out an important part of the spectrum that we need for good health. Mercola has an excellent artile, with video interview, on the lighting issue. 

We're learning about the chemistry of the combustion process - a new type of catalyst (nano copper) allows to reverse the process and produce ethanol from CO2...

Urine seems to be better suited for electrolysis and production of hydroxy gas than water. There have been several efforts to develop this, and the technology is not anything we can't handle.

5G - the next mobile phone technology around the corner - has been given the official seal of approval and go-ahead for roll-out. The FCC has said 'yes' to a technology that will use the 5 to 100 GHz microwave band... but questions of what all those high power microwaves will do to humans are being evaded...

Li-Fi - using visible light to transmit data ... meanwhile the telecoms are pushing to roll out 5G phone technology, which is using microwaves in the millimeter band (5 to 100 GHz) and which has not been tested for safety in any meaningful way...

Computers learning by themselves ... they are starting to talk like a human.

Electric powered flight is coming...
