Ocean Floor Volcanic Vents and GeoThermal Heat for Powering Cities
The idea in the title was in a very short article I wrote a year or so ago!
But now it's gone.
That we humans could harness the amazing energy of seafloor vents -- turning heat into electricity, or even into motion -- by taking advantage of the rapidly uprising currents churning from these boiling pockets of superheated water on our ocean floor.
Tesla was able to light a bulb remotely -- can't we power our cities the same way?
Surely a pair of towers, one near the vent and one near the city, could transport this amazingly huge amount of energy from the volcano to the people.
It doesn't have to end underwater, either. It stands to reason that sufficient heat is generated by above-ground volcanoes, and those just beneath the surface, to allow for careful harnessing of the ripe energy within.
All of the universe is energy -- free and otherwise.
We are, ourselves, little bundles of walking energy.
Nature is all kinds -- from the lightest breeze to the mightiest verneshot to the hottest star's heart, energy takes many forms. And man can learn to use those forms -- but will he?
Is there any reason we should be building furnaces for the burning of coal, plutonium, or anything else, when nature has provided fire aplenty?
Something in the order of the world smells of hell.
Because like fruit, the answers hang within our reach.
And like slaves, we look toward the ground rather than the sky.
The dust of our own toil is our eventual reward and the only memory we will leave behind,
if the world can't change.
I suppose more SOLID info will have to migrate into this topic soon. But for now,
just chew on the basics and wonder, why do we pay for electricity in America?

TOPIC TWO: printable skyscrapers
Glass extrusion, modern alchemy and palladium production
Have you heard of the company in Holland that can print a whole room from a machine?
Well, some months back, people expressed concern that 3D printers, as they are now called, would be used to make weapons.
I said then that people could use them to rebuild cities -- especially after disasters.
You can push hot glass right out of the end of a gun just like glue -- and with the help of robotic arms, you can literally build an entire skyscraper from the floor up, strand by strand, with only a few men on the site and no cranes. yeah, I think it's possible, and we should see it in a few decades, I hope.
In the LHC it is possible to produce palladium glass from other elements. In fact, although it is an isotope, the half life is so long and the decay so gentle that this radiation is not thought to be in the range to harm humans.
Meaning we can build with the stuff and it can provide power for devices.
I would love to see these dreams come to light before mine goes out.
