I-CORE Center of Excellence Alternative Energies

25 Comments

Prof. Gideon Grader, director of the Grand Technion Energy Program (GTEP), was chosen to lead the Center of Excellence in Alternative Energies, as announced by the Council of Higher Education at the end of June 2011. This initiative, the fourth center to be named in the I-CORE (Israeli Centers of Research Excellence) framework will incorporate 36 researchers at Technion, Weizmann Institute of Science and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
Video Rating: 5 / 5

I made this video for my Web 2.0 class a few years back. It gives a quick overview of the most prominent alternative energy sources that are gaining momentum today. I hope you learn something new and enjoy the video! I do now own any of the images used in the video, all rights reserved to original artists. The video is for educational purposes, so feel free to use it in class or use it to study.

    Good video. Just one problem with Wind energy that contradicts what you said about fossil fuels being bad. Did you know that when wind turbines do not have wind to power them, they have to use jet fuel? Just wanted to point that out to you.
    Good video though. I’m going to use a simliar to process to make my next 2 videos.

    Yup, I’m pretty shure the average person can afford a 21.5 trillion dollars for a windmill.They can also use dams. Which is even more. Oh, and also solar panals. NOT

    Solar and wind never become viable. Society needs massive amounts of energy due to large populations.Wind turbines are only being built because of goverment subsidies.They are a disaster, cost more then a nuclear plant (installed $/kw) capacity factors of only about 25%(see DOE statistics) , their induction generators are causing grid problems, they take up massive amounts of land. Electric planners rely on only 8% of their capacity for peak loads. Renewables are bad for poor, higher rates.

    3) DEVELOP POWERFUL, SMALL (LITHIUM BASED?) BATTERIES FOR ELECTRICALLY-DRIVEN VEHICLES.

    What can we do, as individuals, and also in a collective way, to prevent or lessen the effects of this catastrophe, if its not already too late?

    BILLY’ REPLY:

    1) REDUCE THE HUMAN POPULATION THROUGH A RADICAL BIRTHRATE CHECK.

    2) USE THE EARTH’S UNDERGROUND HEAT FOR PRODUCING HEATING AND ENERGY
    (= DIRECTLY USE OUR PLANET’S INNER CORE’S HEAT WHICH IS ABUNDENTLY AVAILABLE AND CAN BE USED WITHOUT ANY HARMFUL CONSEQUENCES).

    Thank you, BEAM, the Plejaren, everyone at FIGU, and everyone else helping your mission.

    It seems as though the catastrophe that you described in contact 469 on the 11th of August 2008, regarding the depletion of oil reserves and losing the ability to transport food and goods, is starting to unfold.

    Why should all these wind power locations ignore solar and geothermal power alternatives? Are wasting your resources the major income resources for our existing industrialists? What about those high speed trains? They occupies a lot of your invaluable landscapes if you don’t design more compact and robust designs for electricity generating devices that can be polled up easily. You should lobby your govt to deploy these devices as basic requirement for your high speed trains.

    Many countries are now aware of the many benefits of wind turbines in generating electricity. It doesn’t contaminate the environment aside from the fact that wind energy has unlimited resources. In this case, we can expect that the supply of energy is never ending. One good thing is that, this resources is just for free.

    @robrice2004 i dont have hippy friends just people trying to get through our worst winter for a 100 years worrying about paying bills. Global warming s so much bullshit, o dear a 100 years from now this might happen who gives a fuck, Your type of arsehole will still be here in a hundred years on the streets wearing your the end is nigh sandwich board selling the next eco scare story.

    @JOOGAL1111 well I’m sure your hippy friends that cant get a job wont blaim that on the money the goverment spends for solar and wind turbines,,,so if all the people in the world die from global worming thats ok if that happens but if some people have to suffer for 10 or 20 years for technology to catch up,,,I think it would be better for your hippy friends to suffer than to destroy the world and kill us all, so you hang your head in shame for trying to kill us all
