You are the man!!! I wish I had all the knowledge you have on energy. Energy is the key to our success as humans on this planet. We need to use the sun and stop burning up material when the sun is free! Keep up your incredible work and would love to hear from you. I have the same basic desire you have for new energy, but my personal experience is sales.

“The sun is free, but space is not.”
The top of your roof is free space. If everyone had just one or two, it would reduce energy costs drastically. You don’t have to make this your only energy source. As a supplement used by everyone you still make significant impacts. It’s like recycling. One person doesn’t make that much difference, but thousands, millions, or billions do. We don’t need an energy farm to make a difference.
The sun is free, but space is not.
@mws123 That’s true, but whether we screw it up or not… we are still going to die. There is one thing we know for sure about life… we are not going to get out of it alive.

And there you have it, a robotic model of a sunflower. Nature was practically showing it to us already.
The air car.. air power is free… harness lightning theres loads of power in a bolt of lightning… but greedy fucks like to use stuff that costs money… when theres so much renewable out there.
Ive invented a solar powered vibrator for girls that like to exibit themselves.
@ultraliser Good job your 98 percent hydro power then isnt it
Dosen’t look like I’m getting one of thoose on my roof in the nearest future. Norway is completly white.
Awesome
For a guy with his caliber, I am rather disappointed with this solution. It is not cheap, needs plenty of space and prone to damage (by flying debris etc), also motors on the petals and the petals themselves are difficult to be weather resistant.
He should look into Zero-Point or OverUnity solutions that “aren’t beaten worse than a dead horse” for decades …
see you next week jason, wait what?

“Great, When can I buy one dozen?”
What about using the system to heat or cool the household. At about 13 minutes into the video Mr. Gross talks about reversing the process to refrigerate. Could the system be set up to amplify the heating effect during winter and cool the house during summer?

I’m sorry; but where did you hear anything mentioned about “glass” and any “reflection” thereon, thereof, therein, there-through or there-from…?
There are some very good hearing aids being produced right now and you may want to “seriously” handle one….or two….I’m sure.
