Green Technologies & Alternative Fuels

A real Green Technology & Alternative Fuel.  What is Thorium?

It is the answer to our energy crisis. Truly green: no emissions, safe, scalable, versatile, simple to build, easy to maintain, cheap to operate, no infrastructure required to implement and most important enough fuel for the next 5000 thousand years! This is the alternative to oil, gas, coal, conventional Nuclear power plants and the replacement technology for the internal combustion engines.      

                              
 

The fact that the world is desperately searching for new sources of energy, and the fact that the value of thorium as an energy source has been well known in the scientific community for over 60 years! Yet the value of thorium is not well-understood in the "energy" community is some what of a mystery.  

The amount of free energy contained in thorium fuel is 20 million times the amount of free energy contained in a similar mass of chemical fuel such as coal or gas making thorium an ideal source of energy.  

The key to thorium as an energy source is not in the thorium itself but in the technology to unlock it. Laser Power Systems, LLC is developing that technology.

No other fuel or energy technology has all the advantages of “MaxFelaser Technology” using Thorium fuel. It can produce energy for the power grid, in large or smaller diversified systems that can be decentralized or located at the end users locations.

In power systems for transportation the vehicles would be pre-fueled with enough fuel to drive the average car 300,000 yes 300,000 thousand miles. It would not require construction of any new infrastructure to implement. Which is one of the biggest road blocks to all other alternatives listed below?

Not So Green Technologies & Alternative Fuels

Gasoline engine + electric motor = greater efficiency

Not Green

What are Hybrids?

Hybrids combine two or more different propulsion systems, typically a gasoline engine and one or more electric drive motors. Most hybrids on the road today compliment their gas engines by charging a battery when breaking. Engines running on diesel or other alternative fuels can also be used in hybrids. A hybrid drive is fully scalable, which means the drive can be used to power everything from small commuter cars to large buses and even locomotives. Hybrids get more MPG or miles per gallon than most non-hybrids, and usually have very low tailpipe emissions.

Battery electric drive provides zero emissions

Not So Green

What are Electric Cars?

Electric cars produce zero localized emissions since they’re propelled by electric motors that run on batteries charged at home, or special electric vehicle charging stations. Car manufacturers are actively developing a new generation of electric cars using technologies and lessons learned from electric vehicles developed in the 1990s. Electric cars are extremely efficient and run for pennies per mile, much cheaper than any other alternative fuel.

 

A sustainable alternative to gasoline

Not Green

What is Ethanol?

Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) is the same type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages. As a fuel, ethanol can be used in more than 30 flex fuel vehicle models that have been designed to run on alcohol, gasoline, or any combination of the two fuels from the same tank. Most ethanol today is produced from corn or sugar cane, although this will change as cheaper cellulosic ethanol made from fast growing woody grasses and other biomass becomes a reality.

The cleanest of all liquid or gaseous fuels

Not So Green

What are Hydrogen Cars & Hydrogen Fuel Cells?

Hydrogen is perhaps the cleanest of all alternative fuels, burning with nearly zero emissions in an internal combustion engine and with emissions of only water vapor and heat in an electro-mechanical fuel cell. Hydrogen vehicles are being developed in many forms by most major car manufacturers. Some vehicles powered by hydrogen are in demonstration fleets, while others like the Honda FCX Clarity and Chevy Equinox Fuel Cell are being driven by consumers.

Powering cars with the cleanest fossil fuel

Not Green

What is Natural Gas?

Natural gas, the cleanest-burning fossil fuel, is being used by an increasing number of medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles like refuse trucks and delivery vans. Natural gas is stored and used in its liquefied or compressed states. It is most commonly abbreviated as LNG for Liquefied Natural Gas, and CNG for Compressed Natural Gas. While a variety of light-duty natural gas cars were once available, the only factory-produced natural gas car made today in the U.S. is Honda’s Civic GX. Other car models may be developed and sold in the United States as additional focus is placed on natural gas as a fuel source for alternative fuel vehicles.

Hybrids that plug into the grid to recharge

Not So Green

What are Plug In Hybrids?

Plug in hybrids boast great potential for improving fuel economy. Plug in hybrid technology allows gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles to be recharged from the grid and run many miles on battery power alone. A gas engine provides additional driving range as needed after the battery power is gone. Plug in hybrids may never need to run on anything but electricity for shorter commutes. The combination of gas and electric driving technologies can already achieve up to 150 mpg.

 

Renewable fuel made from soybeans and biomass

Not Green

What is Biodiesel?

Biodiesel is a renewable alternative fuel made from various sources ranging from waste vegetable oil to soybeans. It can often be used seamlessly in diesel engines of all kinds. Biodiesel is a cleaner fuel than standard petroleum diesel. Since it can be produced locally, biodiesel has the potential to decrease our dependence on foreign countries for oil, and enhance local economies where biodiesel production is taking place.

How the free-electron laser works

How the free-electron laser works

The free-electron laser (FEL) is an ideal instrument for charting the interactions of light and matter in many of the still unexplored regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. As a laser, it produces light in a single wavelength. Ordinary white light contains particles of light, or photons, with a broad range of different colors. So, when white light strikes an object, it causes a multiplicity of responses. By contrast laser light provokes a far more limited set of reactions. This allows scientists to use it to measure the physical properties of materials with great precision.

Ordinary lasers, however, operate at a fixed frequency. That is, they produce light in only one color. This has limited their usefulness. A number of different types of lasers have been created that produce light at a number of different wavelengths ranging through much of the electromagnetic spectrum. Also, researchers have found ways to alter their output frequencies by using lenses made of special optical materials. Nevertheless, there are a number of regions of the spectrum where few, if any lasers operate.

The FEL is ideal for exploring the unknown regions in the spectrum because it is tunable over a broad range of the spectrum. That enables researchers to study how different materials respond as the wavelength of light impinging on them changes. In addition, the FEL is capable of producing very high power levels. The power level is important in applications like surgery where the beam needs enough energy to vaporize soft tissue and bone.

Both the FEL’s tunability and power are the result of its unusual design. In most other lasers, the lasing process occurs within a liquid, solid or gas. So the wavelengths are limited by those permitted by the electrical structure of the material. Similarly, the power of the beam is limited by the amount of energy that the material can withstand before breaking down.

The FEL, however, is not subject to this limitation because it produces laser light by sending bunches of electrons through a series of magnets in a vacuum. These electrons are first accelerated to nearly the speed of light and then they are sent through a device called a “wiggler” or “undulator.”

The wiggler consists of a series of magnets with alternating north and south poles. As a bunch of electrons travels through this alternating field, it causes them to wiggle back and forth in a fashion that causes them to emit some photons of a specific color. These photons are directed onto a mirror that allows 15 percent of them through and reflects 85 percent back along the beam line. At the end of the beam line is another mirror that reflects the photons back up the beam line. The distance between these two mirrors is set with extreme precision so that each bundle of photons meets a new bunch of electrons starting through the wiggler. These photons stimulate the electrons to produce even more photons. After thousands of iterations the power of the laser beam builds up until it reaches a steady state.

The color of the laser beam can be varied in two ways: putting more power into the electron beam and changing the spacing between the magnets in the wiggler. The Vanderbilt FEL is designed to operate at infrared frequencies and can be tuned from two to nine microns.

Because the production of laser light occurs in a vacuum, an FEL can be designed to operate at extremely high power levels. The Vanderbilt FEL is designed to produce a beam with a peak power of more than 10 Megawatts and an average power of 10 Watts.
