V2G technology is receiving a lot of popular media coverage these days. The idea that we can plug in and sell back energy from our electric vehicle battery has a certain appeal in today's demand response environment. But is the idea truly viable, especially from the battery manufacturers' point of view?
Dr. Michael Kintner-Meyer, an electrical power systems integration engineer with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, says new research and technology from the national lab shows there's an alternative that's also beneficial to both utility and consumer. Speaking at the 2nd Annual Smart Grid for Utilities conference in Austin this week, he presented an alternative, plug-and-play option that's easy for consumers to use and utilities to enable, and saves on battery wear and tear, at the same time.
PNNL's Smart Charger Controller was designed to monitor and mitigate peak demand on the grid, such as dinnertime, so that your automobile isn't adding to the power load at the traditional early evening peak. Currently at prototype stage, the controller device uses a low-range wireless technology to communicate with the power grid to determine the best and cheapest time to recharge the vehicle. The plug-and-play concept involves integrating the device in the car's navigational system, so the auto's owner can choose either the "Charge Now" button or simply set the system to a "Charge By" time for the next morning. (This is ideal for the consumer who wants to take advantage of non-peak electricity prices, but doesn't want to have to plug in at 2 a.m.).
The Smart Charger Controller "never turns the battery into a generator," Kintner-Meyer explains, so the utility is never extracting power from the battery. It's a one-way flow, but optimized for flexible load smart charging. PNNL's technology should leave battery manufacturers extremely happy, especially in California, where electric car batteries are required to have a 10-year lifetime warranty. "Battery manufacturers probably would not like to have the utility cycling energy out of the battery," Kintner-Meyer notes, explaining that each cycle of the battery, whether it be driving, or sending energy back to the grid, shortens its life.
Simply, the question becomes: do you earn enough by selling your auto's extra power back to the utility to cover the cost of replacing your battery prematurely?
PNNL is currently seeking industry partners to move the project from in-lab prototype to an end-to-end, real-world demonstration.
These on-board generators will make possible what has been termed Super V2G. Utilities will be able to view vehicles as power plants when parked in locations that have been prepared for wireless connection of up to 150 kW to the grid.
Parallel to MagGen systems will be hybrid vehicles powered by a SPICE(tm). This acronym stands for Self Powered Internal Combustion Engine. A SPICE will be fueled by fractional Hydrogen. Engines of this type will require one gallon of demineralized water as fuel for each 1,000 miles of driving.
Rowan University recently published the results of an independent fractional Hydrogen experiment that pertained to technology producing heat. National laboratories as well as distinguished universities are clearly capable of repeating the experiments and publishing their findings. To the surprise of many, that will herald the use of water as fuel. Using fractional Hydrogen, one barrel of water can equal two hundred or more barrels of oil.
See my posts and our website for more information.
Do you have any idea what will happen to magnetic field of the Earth in case an application of so called Super V2G starts?
What does make sense are load leveling chargers. These devices can be fairly stupid, working from fixed timing tables and no grid feedback and still work very well. Fixed schedules also do not introduce feedback instability issues which is a plus for simple and stupid. They can work even better if they know what the grid is up to as the PNNL devices do, provided that feedback stability is properly insured by design. Experience with the internet provides valuable lessons in stability issues of large feedback systems and the difficulties that can occur. When the web gets bogged people are annoyed. Power grid instability is a major economic and public safety issue.
I think the PNNL approach is wrong headed with respect to the radio communication. There is no need for yet another data transmission infrastructure to get this job done. The existing internet infrastructure and HTTP protocols already provide that. What is needed is to standardize the data representation. Once the data format is established then software for the chargers can be designed as can the web pages for the utilities.
MagGen converts energy from sources other than the geomagnetic field. These include ambient heat. Therefore the answer to your question is there will be no effect on the geomagnetic field.
Utilities in California, Delaware and Colorado are experimenting with V2G. A faculty member at the University of Delaware is a leading advocate. Denmark is also running experiments. An Australian University is as well. None of these involve Super V2G.
Would you like to tell that the source is out of our Earth?
Fractional Hydrogen systems reflect equally unsettled theory. Rowan University opened a door to validation of the heat production potential. Commercial generators that utilize heat have been promised for production next year, by the firm cooperating with Rowan.
A recent summary of one perspective on this new science can be found at: http://www.scienceblog.com/cms/blog/7200-lorentz-m...
Skeptics are hardly surprising. Our work with Ultraconductors(tm), polymer equivalents of room temperature superconductors, continues to be met with disbelief. The name reflects the fact that we choose not to debate with disbelievers. However, those materials have been independently reproduced for the USAF by Fractal Systems, which succesfully made almost 1,000 samples.
As products from all of our new technologies enter the markets, as they now clearly are going to do, conventional wisdom will change.
Until that occurs, skeptics will dominate the conversation. After it does, they will hardly be heard.
The word for you and your ilk is fraud.
Tell me, if hydrinos ( hydrogen with fractional orbits ) only exist in Casimir cavities, then how do they convey any energy outside those cavities?
That included the Wright Brothers. Everyone now knows they first flew in 1903, yet it was not until 1908 when then President Teddy Roosevelt asked someone to visit the bicycle mechanics and determine if they really flew, that Scientific American, the New York Times, the Smithsonian, etc. all changed their minds and accepted the facts involved.
Those with a genuine need to evaluate our work have always been able to do so under NonDisclosure Agreements. As the technologies move forward, they will demonstrate their reality more widely and will become impossible to deny.
Remember the boy who persistently cried wolf and eventually no one believed him anymore. If your purported discoveries are not frauds and fabrications, and especially government funds were used to develop just one single product from any one of your claims, it would make international headlines in a pinch and you would be vindicated. What are you and your friends waiting for ?
Misrepresentation of the Wright Brothers as defying science of the early 1900s is a favorite of pseudoscience promoting crazies and frauds who won't be bothered to deal in factual history. The Chinese were flying kites as early as 400 BC. Daniel Bernoulli's Hydrodynamica published in 1738. Manned gliders were flying in the mid 1800s. Samuel Langley flew powered, but unmanned model aircraft 12 years before Kitty Hawk. The Wright Brothers in fact relied heavily on Chanute's 1894 "Progress in Flying Machines" for key guidance in their efforts. The Wright Brothers' achievement of powered manned flight was the result of diligent application of the science of their time, not snake oil fantasies. Only the ignorant and frauds claim that Wright Brothers defied science of the day. Contrary to pseudoscience peddling frauds like yourself, the Wright Brothers were readily able to demonstrate what they claimed.
Given that you have long claimed that you have shown several multi billion dollar organizations your snake oil under NDA and not a one has partnered with, or is funding you, it is safe to infer that having seen your secrets, they don't believe you. It's rather hard to take anyone seriously who claims to have a car that ran 4800 miles on ambient heat, but they can't produce it for inspection.
Modest government funds have been provided for our Ultraconductors(tm). We completed four Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contracts. These included a Phase I and a highly competitive Phase II with the USAF; followed by two Phase I contracts with what is now called the Missile Defense Agency. We were invited to apply for an additional Phase II but due to the "March-in Clause" in government contracts, decided to pass. That clause gives the government royalty free rights to inventions made on such contracts for the life of any resulting patents.
Private capital is at last interested in cutting edge technology. We no longer have any shortage of serious interest in funding our work, although that was a problem for some time following the dot.com crash. High-tech firms not yet producing revenue had a long period where capital was extremely scarce. Even venture firms (I am a former consultant on venture capital to a unit of the U.S. Department of Commerce) on rare occasions now seek out game changing technologies. They have always claimed to do so, but anyone familiar with that industry knows that has rarely been true. By the way, I was also a consultant on economic development to the N.Y. office of then Senator Robert F. Kennedy.
Where's the magic overunity transformer? You've said you've had one working since 2004.
Where's the magic overunity tuning fork? You've said you've had that working since early 2007.
Where's the magic overunity motor? You've said you've had that since mid 2007.
Where's the magic ambient heat engine? Over a year ago you said you had a car that ran 4800 miles on it.
You said the transformer broke. You said you never built another one because it so much faster and easier to build your magic tuning forks. That was three years ago. After a year and a half of the tuning fork ruse, you switched to the ambient heat scam. The car, the outboard motor, the golf cart you all said ran from ambient heat alone, you cannot produce for inspection. You told the childishly ridiculous story that the inventor removed the engine, and sold the car. The car is gone but where is the magic motor that you say propelled it? Was it siezed with the outboard motor and golf cart by agents of big oil or aliens? Now you're onto the hydrino scam. For a person who constantly complains of a shortage of R&D funds you sure are willing to throw precious cash in many directions at once. We both know how the story will go. In the not too distant future, likely within 12 months you will announce yet another wonderful breatkthrough that redirects your scarce resources and precludes evidencing what you most recently claimed. Will it be zero bias diodes, magic piezo electric devices, or sheep's bladders used to predict earthquakes?

Since these are indeed world changing technologies they are inherently slow and extremely difficult. As President Kennedy once said: "We choose to go to the moon and do the other things in this decade, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize..."
Paul Story is a credulous fiction writer with absolutely no observations of your company. He still wants to believe in the Irish scammers Steorn whose own scientific jury has come back saying they have absolutely nothing.
If you want credibility then it is up to you to produce verifiable evidence of what you claim. You can't even come up with a testimonial. There isn't one expert who has seen your energy snake oil who will vouch to it.
Since the power produced by fractional Hydrogen (which we call ECHO - Energy from Collapsing Hydrogen Orbits) is inherently cost-competitive, Super V2G is likely to find market acceptance. Especially, since cars, trucks and buses powered by ECHO will also be able to power a home or a business. No need for wires.
When I first spoke to a utility about innovation, back about 1975, I was told by a senior engineer: Mark, what we consider innovation in the utility industry is a wooden power pole that can be coated with an improved creosote, so it will last another 2 or 3 years before replacement.
The industry has come a long way since.
Economics will inevitably open new doors and let light into places that have been closed to new ideas and perspectives.
Since an early application of ECHO involves sharply improved fuel mileage in existing vehicles, it is likely to penetrate minds and markets more easily than might be imagined.
