In engineering, Free Energy means an
energy source available directly
from the environment and which
cannot be depleted (so it is
available in an effectively
unlimited quantity). Free
Energy, in a strict sense, is energy
directly transceived from the
environment, and utilized without
any artificial aid.
Free Energy, ecolonomically, refers
to energy with no or negligible
feedstock cost, including solar
power, telluric power, water power,
and wind power. But there are
lesser known -more exotic- free
energy mechanisms. These
include cold fusion, magnet motors,
gravity motors, and electromagnetic
overunity.
Anything currently involved in the
extraction, refining, transport and
storage of energy would become
obsolete if a free energy device was
developed. Oil, for example,
could still be used to produce
rubber, fertilizer, etc. but as a
fuel source, it could not compete
with a device that provides infinite
energy beyond the initial cost of
the device. Everything related
to oil, including rigs, tankers,
refineries, gas stations, etc.,
would become things of the past.
Power companies, powered by natural
gas or coal would also vanish.
Everything related to that kind of
electricity; coal mines, power
poles, power lines, etc., would no
longer be needed. Even batteries
could be replaced by a free energy
device. Also, alternative
energy sources, such as solar
panels, wind turbines, nuclear,
hydro, etc., would be replaced.
Beyond the probable catastrophic
impact on the energy industry and
oil rich nations, the impact on
industry -as a whole- should be
quite positive. Taking away
the cost of energy for the creation
of your goods or to provide your
services, could only mean higher
profits for your business.
Industries with particular high
energy costs, such as mining and
construction, would see the greatest
benefits. The economy as a
whole would also see significant
benefits from the potential for
growth as new efficiencies are
discovered. |
