Things about energy you might not know

• Pascal’s principle hides the secret of “ energy creating”

• We can use universal gravitation to generate the electricity

• The law of conservation of energy is

“incomplete”

4

Understand the law of conservation of energy

“A great law can’t be shaken unless it falls itself.”

5

Understand the law of conservation of energy

• Your understanding- Energy can neither be created nor destroyed

- It is a doctrine of physics- Any research result that violate this law is realized as incorrect

- Any patent that violates this law will not be granted

6

Understand the law of conservation of energy

• My understanding- In an isolated system energy can neither be created nor destroyed

- This law is not derived from specific research results

- It is a summarized (evolutionary) result of many research results that spanned over a very long period of time

7

Understand the law of conservation of energy

• Wikipedia- In 1638, Galileo published his analysis of several situations—including the celebrated "interrupted pendulum"—which can be described (in modern language) as conservatively converting potential energy to kinetic energy and back again

8

Understand the law of conservation of energy

- Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz during 1676–1689Leibniz noticed that in many mechanical systems, the value

was conserved so long as the masses did not interact. He called this quantity the visviva or living force of the system.

Understand the law of conservation of energy

-Vis viva now started to be known as energy, after the term was first used in that sense by Thomas Young in 1807. Vis viva was recalibrated to

Understand the law of conservation of energy

-In 1843 James Prescott Joule discovered the mechanical equivalent in a series of experiments. He showed that the gravitational potential energy lost by the weight in descending was equal to the thermal energy (heat) gained by the water by friction with the paddle.

11

Understand the law of conservation of energy

-In 1844, William Robert Grove postulated a relationship between mechanics, heat, light, electricity and magnetism by treating them all as manifestations of a single "force"(energy in modern terms).

12

Understand the law of conservation of energy

- Albert Einstein's theory of relativity (1916) shows that mass is a form of energy, so they can transform one into another.

13

Understand the law of conservation of energy

- During a 1961 lecture[7] for undergraduate students at the California Institute of Technology, Richard Feynman, a celebrated physics teacher and Nobel Laureate, said this about the concept of energy:

There is a fact, or if you wish, a law, governing natural phenomena that are known to date. There is no known exception to this law; it is exact, so far we know. The law is called conservation of energy; it states that there is a certain quantity, which we call energy, that does not change in manifold changes which nature undergoes. That is a most abstract idea, because it is a mathematical principle; it says that there is a numerical quantity, which does not change when something happens. It is not a description of a mechanism, or anything concrete; it is just a strange fact that we can calculate some number, and when we finish watching nature go through her tricks and calculate the number again, it is the same.

14

Understand the law of conservation of energy

- mechanics, heat, light, electricity, magnetism and mass are different forms of energy.

- Scientists believe thatEnergy can’t be created nor destroyed

- Question:Have we found all manifestations

of energy?

15

Understand the law of conservation of energy

- Universal gravitation energy had neverbeen considered before 21 century

- The law of conservation of energy can’t be used to controvert the possibility of being able to harness an unknown energy

16

Universal gravitation energy

• Innovative (technique)refer to a new method that uses fuel more efficiently or produces less carbon dioxide

• Revolutionary (technique)refers to a new technique that will cause a paradigm shift in generating the power

17

Universal gravitation

Known recently:

- A kind of energy existed in the universe

- A kind of renewable energy

- Pascal’s principle provides Its theoretical foundation

18

Universal gravitation Known recently:

- Method of transferring intangible universal gravitation energy to tangible potential energy has been found

- Using universal gravitation, we canartificially created an energy cycle

- Method of using universal gravitation to generate the electricity has been found

19

Universal gravitation

Pascal’s principle (from Wikipedia)

“A change in the pressure of an enclosed incompressible fluid is conveyed undiminished to every part of the fluid and to the surfaces of its containner.”

Application of Pascal’s principle

Application of Pascal’s principle

Figure1. A conventional hydraulic lift

F1 / A1 = F2 / A2 …….(1) A1 d1 = A2 d2 ……….(2)

F2 = (A2 / A1) * F1 …....(3)

22

Application of Pascal’s principle

Figure2. A nonconventional hydraulic lift

F1 / A1 = F2 / A2 …….(1) A1 d1 = A2 d2 ……….(2)d2 = (A1 / A2 ) d1 …….(3)

Application of Pascal’s principle

Figure2. A nonconventional hydraulic lift

F1 / A1 = F2 / A2 …….(1) A1 d1 = A2 d2 ……….(2)d2 = (A1 / A2 ) d1 …….(3)

if A1 = 1m2 , A2 = 10cm2, d1 = 1 mThen

d2 = (A1 / A2 ) d1= (1 m2 / 10 cm2 ) * 1 m= (10000 cm2 / 10 cm2 ) * 1 m= 1000 m

1. Energy of counterweight is decreased bym g h = 1000kg · 9.8m/s2 · 1m

= 9800 kg · m2/s2 = 9800 joule

2. Potential energy increased (in water tank)m g h = (0.9 m3 ·1000 kg/ m3) · 9.8 m/s2 ·100 m

= 882,000 kg · m2/s2

= 882,000 joule 3. Potential energy increased (water in pipe)

m g h = (0.1 m3 ·1000 kg/ m3) · 9.8 m/s2 · 50 m= 49,000 kg · m2/s2 = 49,000 joule

The total energy increased:882,000 + 49,000 – 9800 = 921,200 (joule)

or 921,200 / 9800 = 94 (times)

Power of a new power generator

(1) It is very stable(2) it generates power at any time and any place(3) It can create as much energy as we want(4) it consumes no natural resource(5) it generates no carbon dioxide(6) it carries no generating cost

37

The inevitable energy revolution

• The inevitability of energy revolution depends on if the system will be adopted

• Will power companies adopt this system?- No, most of them (I think) - The revenue is the major concern

38

The inevitable energy revolutionInevitable things:

Human beings need- breath- eat- drink water- consume energy- …- pay energy bills

39

The inevitable energy revolution

Universal gravitation power generator• Once it is installed, the followed power

consumption is free of generating cost

• Can any one resist this temptation?- family-size, building-size, Community-size,

Customized-size power generators- …

Good, bad or catastrophic systems

• Good - solve the problem and cause noside effect

• Bad - solve the problem and cause some side effects

• Catastrophic - solve the problem and

cause other catastrophe

41

Good, bad or catastrophicsystems

• Gravitation power generator is the idealenergy source for 21 century and centuries after

• It can solve earth warming, energy shortage, clean water and other big world problems

• Catastrophic - solve the problem andcause other catastrophe

42

Good, bad or catastrophic systems

• Gravitation power generator is too goodto have other energy industries have chances to survive

• The domino effects will cause a serious financial crisis

• It is a very dangerous Catastrophic system

43

Conclusions

– To solve the earth warming problem, the gravitation power generator is the only choice, and is the only hope that we can solve the Earth warming, energy shortage, and other big world problems “in time”

– It is a very dangerous catastrophicsystem

– I shall leave the implications and impacts of this system to you

44

Conclusions

– “The Era of Energy Revolution” has come– Can we avoid the catastrophic parts– The answer is both “yes” and “no”– New era will create many new business

markets that has never been existed before– You need to take the right decisions and

actions in time– I shall leave the rest to you imagination
