The grand and lonely journey

On 5th of September, 1977, NASA launched Voyager 1 space probe. So far it has traveled 125 AU as of August 2013, and it is still traveling at the relative speed against the Sun at 17 km per second, which is the fastest speed of an object made by mankind. The rocket engine that lift Voyager 1 was Titan IIIE. NASA did great missions which took advantage of The Planetary Grand Tour and gravitational slingshot. Using gravity energy during the mission, Voyager 1 and 2 are now into the eternity of interstellar travel of lonely and silent.

How can superman fly? You can Googol all the “reasons” why Superman can fly. But in real life, everything within a gravity field will fall towards its centre, until something stops them. There are three possibilities: lighter than air objects will float in the air, boats can sail on the water, and everything else stop at solid ground. The first and second scenarios are due to buoyancy effect. How can a heavier than air object stay airborne? You need energy to offset gravity drag.

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.

Your electricity price can be 10 times profit markup by energy business

For people living in Australia, when you pay your electricity bill, the profit markup is about 10 times when coal energy is converted into electricity energy. Steam turbines in the power station will lost nearly 70% of energy. 10% energy lost incurs during transmission. Even at such high energy lost, electricity companies has profit markup at 1000%.

Why Blue Energy needs trading

Fossil fuel is traded as commodity in global market. Is there anything you can do with the energy you consume everyday?

While writing this webpage, ABC television aired Dick Smith's own documentary production - Ten Bucks a Liter. In this show, Mr. Smith made no discussion on engine efficiency. He failed to see the most important "attributes" that differentiate fossil energy and renewable energy. Without such in depth of understanding, the world could eventually face the reality that petrol price will be sold at (or more than) $10/L. It will happen if we don't address many important issues, such as, heat engine efficiency.

Blue Energy Wind Tower (BEWiT) is another innovation by Blue Energy Australia. This invention can overcome many problems in existing vertical wind energy designs. With vertical shaft and modular design, assembling a tall and large wind tower is easy. Most importantly the efficiency to harvest wind energy will be doubled because this design will not have bias caused by wind energy drag. It is also elegant, low noise. It will prevent any chance that birds can be injured.

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.

Blue Energy Thermal Engine (BETE) is a heat engine similar to a reciprocation engine, for example, Internal Combustion Engine (ICE).

Because crankshaft is a component contributing to very high level of energy waste in a reciprocation engine, we have invented a mechanical system to replace crankshaft. This system provides alternating action caused by gas expansion through a dual_cylinders arrangement, and a creative gear transmission system to tangentially transfer reciprocating force into torque force, which minimizes energy lost seen in a crankshaft solution.

"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.
