Help with homework:I need a clean, efficient, and environment friendly energy source that isnt discovered yet?

Question

Surely Im not asking too much am I?

Answer 1

Exercise bicycles for everyone as they watch the box.

Answer 2

Use a steam powered generator for home lighting. Make the steam using solar heat and use a bio-fuel as a backup heat source for nights and cloudy days. Compact batteries will store enough energy for at least a whole night.

Remove the engine from an auto and replace it with a steam powered generator, batteries and an electric motor. When at home plug it in to recharge the batteries. Drive it on electricity until the batteries get low and have the steam powered generator start automatically to recharge the batteries. It would probably use no fuel unless driven past the battery range and then the only fuel used would be to recharge the batteries long enough to find a place to park and recharge by plugging in even if you had to drive 800 miles to do it. It should average well above 60 mpg since 90% of the driving would use no fuel, just electricity. E-mail [e-mail] and ask about steam-electric hybrids. Feel free to use the info there to impress your teacher, but do some research online too. Check steam cars such as Stanley Steamer and Doble, research the different designs of steam engines and boilers. Check on IC engine powered generators used in electric motor powered vehicles.

Best thing about steam is it is naturally clean, more efficient than IC and can use any heat source or fuel, although in an auto that should be a liquid or gaseous fuel for ease of use. The fuel can easily be some type of relatively unprocessed, unrefined biofuel which would be very environmentally friendly.

It has not been done in this way yet, so although both steam and electricity are known, no one has put them together this way. By the way, how are you expected to describe an energy source that hasn't been discovered, make one up? Yes, I can see that - a rare mineral called energite produces megawatts of electricity when exposed to sunlight - however energite doesn't exist. Good luck!

Answer 3

I have a few environmentally friendly and totally renewable energy sources that have not been discovered yet as I have kept them to myself for a number of years.

Pay me a billion billion and I will sign the patents over to you...

Answer 4

wouldnt we all love to discover that


you could say

hydroelectric power, powered by turbines in the sewage system

1) very environmentally friendly
2) not in use yet
3) clean (in terms of carbon footprint)
4) efficient - well, on the face of it, it sounds efficient, as there is sewage already flowing under most towns and cities.

I will leave you to find out if it is practical (hint: see point number 2)

Answer 5

Yes, you are asking too much. You are asking someone to tell you about something that no person in the world has ever discovered! How could you even expect such a thing?

Answer 6

altho they are discovered the folowing are not really harnessed to their full potential:

tidal, water, wind, solar

i wouldnt say biofuels as there are other uses for the land that could be more beneficial and im sure its a very time consuming process altho the above are what is available to us aaaaaaaaaaaaall the time and just ignored

Answer 7

Apparently the Internet can be used to efficiently write homework, saving energy for the less motivated among us ;-)

Answer 8

The same idea as the nuclear bombs which some scientists are trying to do on the small scale.....E=MC squared

Answer 9

Thought power!

Answer 10

Well, as a final solution: Burn the foriegners, and generate energy. Plenty of grease for a good fire!
