Carbon nanofibers (CNFs), vapor grown carbon fibers (VGCFs), or vapor grown carbon nanofibers (VGCNFs) are cylindric nanostructures with graphene layers arranged as stacked cones, cups or plates. Carbon nanofibers with graphene layers wrapped into perfect cylinders are called carbon...

for the orkeys id suggest something like this then, maybe on a smaller scale as i have no idea what the depth is like there. also not dangerous to marine life (which is one argument against what there trying to do at the moment. http://www.physorg.com/news192784124.html

would this sort of technology work to self clean the laser http://thefutureofthings.com/news/1018/nanofibers-to-create-self-cleaning-windows.html "Using nanofibers, the group developed different kinds of surfaces - some are water-repellent, some attract water, and some even repel oil and dirt. "

i have read about a 1.5 kw/mw? tidal generator in the uk

someone just asked this as a comment on an article i was reading http://home.howstuffworks.com/fluorescent-lamp6.htm 'Does a phosphor powder give off a photon or electron when struck by light?' I was just thinking maybe a solar cell made of phosphor powder to emit electrons. I...

I suppose this is obvious but is your buddy looking into more common materials or will it simply only work with the rarer ones?

I'm aware of the many methods of storing energy, however that's the first I've heard of storing it the way you describe Mapes. Yours talking about storing it with cryogenics Q_goest? And Jared, remember that a house with solar panels can produce enough power to meet the houses demand...

Using Shipping containers as compressed air 'Batteries" Just joined the site, you have a much more practical captcha system, I am surprised its not more widely implemented. Anyway! Obviously if you have seen a peak energy demand graph you will notice that the peak energy requirement is from...
