The Tidal Irrigation and Electrical System becomes Haven Atolls a shelter for coral and ocean peoples
Martin on Apr 19th 2016
In 2015 Ocean Foesters, a multidisciplinary team, began a detailed investigation into The Tidal Irrigation and Electrical System. This process revealed that developments embodied in the patent pending Tidal Irrigation and Electrcal System 2 were substationally on the right track. This means that while the basis of this website is correct the details are out […]
TIESystem Algal Growth can Replace Fossil Fuels
Martin on Mar 31st 2015
In December of 2014, I presented a poster at the American Geophysical Union’s conference in San Francisco titled ‘Carbon Sequestration through Sustainably Sourced Algal Fertilizer: Deep Ocean Water’. It compared the TIESystem (the central purpose of this website) with other potential users of deep ocean water (DOW). The paper then went on to examine the […]
A Tidal Lagoon for Swansea
Martin on Feb 7th 2014
The west of the United Kingdom has some exceptionally wide tidal fluctuations. This has inspired several companies to propose constructions which exploit this. Tidal Lagoon Swansea Ltd. has now put forward its own scheme. The technology is maturing with companies like Tidal Electric developing in fields like Alaska and Mexico. TE also tried to harvest […]
Standing Waves Climate Swings
Martin on Nov 20th 2013
About a year ago I wrote a post about Fracking and the dangers of opening up a new fossil source of CO2. I also predicted that the societal and economic pressure to exploit this resource was probably going to surmount the warnings that the consumption of traditional carbons were likely to cause enormous climate change […]
Potential Discovery of Multiple Terrestrial Impact Craters
Martin on Jan 31st 2013
This is not my normal area of interest but recently I was looking at some high resolution topographical maps of Australia and noticed what looks like a series of impact craters. As they are all in a line and seem to have the same topographic profile, I surmise that they occurred in an event much […]
Fracking Our Way to Mass Extinction
Martin on Apr 27th 2012
In the last few years new fossil fuel technologies such as oil shale and oil sand energy extraction, and more importantly fracking, has quietly opened up vast reserves of energy to nations all over the globe. It is rewriting the economic futures of countries like the United States, where access to cheap energy is making manufacturing competitive […]
Welcome
Martin on Apr 12th 2008
Sharp is claiming to have achieved a new record in direct methanol fuel cell power output of .3W/cc. This is very good. The power consumption needs of all sort of devices can be met by that. The general loss of energy by using electricity to recharge a lithium-ion battery relative to the amount of methanol […]
