You are right of course, I stand corrected. "perpetual motion" sounds better as a headline though. Never let trifles like accuracy get in the way of a good headline.
99% of people wouldnt know what overunity is so perpetual motion would definately sell more . Ive done a bit of R&D on overunity... its not as easy as you might think but it is possible . If the governments done more research we wouldnt have these stupid power costs & pollution .
Yes easy. Just get yourself a bunch of social services allowances to go with the lights and you have it made.
What you're looking for is an "arbitrage controller unit". It will automatically buy electricity when it's cheap, dump it into a battery array and then drain the batteries to sell the energy back into the grid when the price is higher. You can either program it manually or plug it into the smart meter and it will monitor all the data (including feed-in tariffs) and just do the buy and sell trades by itself. Google "RAPS" and "remote area power systems" for a better idea about what is involved in storing energy and moving it around.
Just got my first Carbon Tax electricity bill. Up $250 for the same usage. We have no heaters or aircon. We don't have gas either.
I just spoke to Lumo Energy. When they spruiked me from Energy Australia a few months ago they promised me that my power price increase would be capped at a maximum 5% /anum. That was all they said. Now I find out that what they didn't disclose was that on top of the 5% that they add they also pass on the full wholesale increase and the carbon tax. Interesting that they didn't disclose that little piece of info. I guess it didn't sound as tempting as "you are protected from price increases because Lumo will cap your price increase each year to 5%". Off to the Ombudsman.
Every world economy was going gangbusters in the 2000's and every world economy has been suffering since '08. Correlation does not equal causation.
I am not talking about the absolute state of the economy, I am talking about how governments run the economies that they are given. The current government has not run it's economy with any competence.
That's cool with me if you believe that Howard was a super awesome economic power house. I just happen to think he was in the right place at the right time at the upswing of the worlds biggest credit bubble.
He wasn't awesome, and he was in place during good economic times. However he also knew how to run a stable, fiscally responsible government. Correlation does not equal causation.
Bulldust, call out statist punks for what they are. FYI: On the bottom of NSW power bills you should see a red notice. 20-25% of your power bill is carbontax/green schemes. Coercively funded science, can go jump
CSIRO CEO Dr Megan Clarke who previously served on the Board of NM Rothschild & Sons (Australia), as Director of Arrow Capital Investors Pty Ltd, and CEO and Executive Director of Rothschild Australia E-Fund Investors Limited has also been queried over her carbon sequestration enterprise: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/nat...arbon-store-role/story-fn59niix-1226170818106
The reason the guillotine was so popular during the French Revolution is because none of the financial elite and none of their courtly sycophants were clean.
You do know what the CSIRO is, right? They're scientists and they're going to get taxpayer dollars for studying stuff regardless of what the data actually tells them. They don't have an agenda because they don't need one. It's one of the great aspects of publicly funded research. And before you start going on about your tax dollars being wasted on useless research, the CSIRO actually makes an overall profit for the Australian taxpayer by spinning-off the results of their research and having it commercialised.
The CSIRO is a source of great pride for Australia. Im not sure though that I'm completely comfortable with it's CEO off running other enterprises concurrently for personal gain when they are so close to her sphere of influence in the CSIRO, I think that the CSIRO must be kept above reproach in the public eye. Bit too much Russ Hinze-like for me.
