This article is based on the following observations:
Wave energy. The forward motion of a wave represents its kinetic energy, and many devices have been proposed for the capture of this energy. The vertical distance between the crest and valley of a wave represents the wave’s potential energy. A simple device for exploiting this potential energy consists of an air-filled floating tank, open at the bottom and attached at the top to an air-driven turbine. As the air in the tank is compressed by a wave, the air is forced through the turbine, producing power. As the wave falls, the pressure within the tank drops, the turbine valve closes and air is then readmitted into the tank through another valve. In spite of the large amount of energy available in waves, no device has yet proved to be economically feasible.
And you would never have to look further than your very own bedroom …
Though everyone might not be able to produce their own electricity. A few might be more than willing to share with their neighbours !!!
Let me introduce you to this new untapped eco-friendly energy source:
Bed energy. The pulsating motion of a copulating couple, represents – kinetic energy, and no known devices have been proposed for the capture of this eco-friendly energy source. The vertical distance between the apex and base of a thrust represents the bed’s potential energy. A simple device for exploiting this potential energy consists of a waterbed, which is coupled to a hydro-turbine at the head of the bed, discharging into a reservoir tank underneath and returned by suction to the foot of bed. As the water in the bed is compressed by a thrust the water is forced through the turbine, producing power. As the water level falls, the pressure within the bed drops, the turbine valve closes and water is then readmitted from the reservoir into the bed through another valve. This action is reciprocating, until enough energy is produced - rhythmic action is essential.
Although it might be sporadic at time, such as sleeping at the most crucial time.
Though in spite of the large amount of energy available in beds, no device has yet proved to be economically feasible or reliable – mainly due to headaches.
Three- or four-some’s could supply energy for their neighbourhood. Whereas groupies would be used for the supply of energy to the aged or handicapped homes, hospitals and other emergency services. Red light ladies could sell take-out packages in the form of batteries.
Always take the necessary precautions, or you might throw a spanner, by confining the works.
Remember, if it’s Cooking, Ironing or Washing that needs to be done … there is always Bed Energy!
