Episode of Malcolm In the Middle. Energy Independence.
Malcolm has to do another report for school.
Political candidates have been saying that we need a moon
mission right here on Earth to develop energy independence.
The solution that I am proposing is for American Voters
to require the U.S. congress to build new hydroelectric
dams and improve exsisting hydroelctric dams by increasing
the number of turbines and generators.
I have questions about every major river in the United
States .
Is there still unregulated river FLOODING during the rainy
season ??
Is the flow at the bottom of every dam at about the same
altitude as the resevoir of the next downstream dam ??
The previous questions can help point to locations for new
dams.
In every exsisting hydroelectric dam does all of the water
flowing through that dam flow through hydroelectric turbines
on its way through the dam all year arround or is there water
wasted by flowing over a spillway at least during the rainy
season ??
Every hydroelectric dam deserves to have enough turbines
and generators added so that water will not have to be wasted
by flowing over the spillway even during the rainy season.
Even part time additional power is better that wasting water
by dumping it over a spillway.
Some turbines and generators are over a hundred years old. Is
every old hydroelectric turbine and old generator with rusty
core pieces and cracked insulation and worn out brushes and
slip rings and commutators at least 95 per cent as efficient as
a new hydroelectric turbine and generator would be ??
Hydroelectric power is a non-polluting renewable energy source
that is renewed every rainy season. The fossil fuels will all
soon run out so hydroelectric power is the only reliable source
of electricity that can help future generations recieve power.
Please require congress to improve exsisting hydroelectric
dams and construct additional hydroelectric dams instead of
requiring young men to register to be drafted into combat to
fight for foreign fossil fuels that will run out very soon
anyway.
FIVEPHASE124
Episode Stargate SG1. The Tokrah come through the stargate. They
bring over a small generator. Oneil notices it has five phases
instead of 3. Then the Tokrah guy says that a five phase A.C.
power system is smoother than traditional 3 phase power. Then
they go
through the stargate to visit the Tokrah homeworld. Over there
they have groups of five power lines on their power poles instead
of groups of only 3 wires.
Then Carter comments that the Northeastern U.S. is considering
rewiring its power grid. The Tokrah guy reccommends using five
phase power because it is smoother than 3 phase power. Emergency
partial brownout performance is improved. On a 3 phase delta
connection if one of the 3 phases opens up the remaining two
wires only
carry one phase and it is like trying to run a car on an enjine
with only one remaining cylinder. There is an inherent
unreliability in traditional 3 phase power grids. Five phase
power grids will provide a higher reliability network.
The Tokrah people use hydroelectric power as the only source
of power. Every river has dams from the mountain snowpacks
to the oceans on the Tokrah homeworld.
The hydroelectric dams improve the environment. The resevoirs
provide year round fresh water for fresh water fish that
otherwise would be dry in the summer and fall.

Geothermal is like other crude forms of transforming some sort of action to energy.
