Animation production
In this blog, our design team engineer Jorge will give our visitors some introduction of animation rendering by AutoCAD Inventor. The featured video you see in our crowdfunding requires extensive design of individual parts, assembled into a virtual mechanical product. The animation will be produced based the assembly file.
Blue Energy Buoyancy Engine
Buoyancy definition
Archimedes' principle of buoyancy states that: "Any object, wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object." This discovery, only to be true if the object is within a gravity field, because only when such object is within a gravity field then "weight" exists.
About Blue Energy
"Pray if Armageddon is about to happen".
Yes, Pray, this was the advise from Charles Bolden, the NASA chief, who told lawmakers at an US House of Representatives Science Committee hearing on March, 19th, 2013 on the issue if a potential killer asteroid is about to impact our planet. Basically, in Mr. Bolden's view, so far human beings have no technology yet can stop such events from happening.
BETE - The engine
Blue Energy visions
Blue Energy Thermal Engine (BETE) is the heart of Blue Energy innovation. BETE is a versatile heat engine that can be used in all applications which handles heat energy. It is our goal to build a prototype for off-grid electricity generation. Electricity users will enjoy the benefit of low cost electricity once the products are available. This engine would also essential for flying car, when buoyancy engine project is successful.
This invention would be a good news to people and business looking for potential energy saving. Potential outcome of BETE success is that that low energy efficiency heat engine, from traditional reciprocation engine such as ICE, to turbine style jet engine, or steam turbine, will lost their value. Though the effort to get feedback from these corporate giants is silence. Blue Energy is not only planning disruption in transport, electricity and energy production, it is also prepared for the tough business venture.
At the moment, car makers don't have to worry about directly facilitate fuel production and emission sequestration after the sales of vehicles. We will change that business mode and put social and environmental duty to the manufacturers. Future cars will not discharge gaseous waste into the atmosphere. Instead, with BETE inherently pure oxygen combustion solution, and efficient compression ability, fume will be locally stored for renewable energy fuel production
Transport solution for land and sea:
We have made published some features on BETE invention in our patent specification. You might check out our WIPO links in HERE. Because land vehicles and sea vessels are working with the same principles, we will combine both categories into one section. We will have following table to further compare what could be the difference when using a BETE for a car or a truck

Transport solutions for air travel within atmosphere
BETE as part of VTOL technology, the main task is to convert fuel energy into compressed air and electrical energy. Buoyancy engine BEBE will provide transport vehicles the antigravity force for taking off and cruise control in the air. No fixed wings or propellers are required.
