The_Prince_of_Death Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 the only thing we havent converted yet is lightning. the rest we have used and still use today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I didn't say we can't convert, just not EFFECTIVELY enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Prince_of_Death Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 We actually get plenty of power from wind and water and riction, just not the sun and definately not the lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 wind, water, and friction so far isn't enough for EVERYTHING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Prince_of_Death Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 of course, thats why we try to harness the sun's energy of light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 once we have that, our problems should be solved (until the sun burns out of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Prince_of_Death Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 nobody can tell when the sun will burn out. also somebody is trying to start a new topic in this section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 that's true. In the meantime we're trying to substitute for it via geothermal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Prince_of_Death Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Geothermal = harnesing the powers on the earth, right? If we could harness the power of volcanoes then we could power alteast half the planet for atleast 7 days straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 well there's also the matter of underground hot springs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Prince_of_Death Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 true, they are caused by volcanoes too. the lava atleast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 yeah but that is more dangerous for fatalities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Prince_of_Death Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 of course. I wonder if somebody is trying to harness the power of volcanoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 oh that's nothing new. We're trying that right now. But we're not going to put it into full scale practice until we know what to expect in terms of fatalities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Prince_of_Death Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I know we have the ability to harness underwater volcanoes, I just wonder if someone is trying to use the ones above ground. If we can use the energy the earth gives us we will be fine until it runs out or goes out of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 well the ones above ground would cause even greater risks, so I'd say yes but only for simulations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Prince_of_Death Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I know if someone tries to use the under water curents for energy, they will fail in the end because they were not meant for that and the sea floor is too loose for the facility to stay up and running for atleast 2 days.

ragnarok1945 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 you just have to go deeper. That's how we'll eventually create our Atlantis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Prince_of_Death Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 the deeper you go the less current and the less light. you need light to build the facility, and for the facility to work you have to have current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 light uses energy, which you can get elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Prince_of_Death Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 we can use the sun/moon for light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 or creative your artificial lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Prince_of_Death Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 we can use lightning bugs or glow worms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 if our tech hasn't allowed us to harness other energy forms effectively, you mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Prince_of_Death Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 We created glow sticks, flares, flareguns, heat lamps(te ones the run on heat not cold), fire, and wind up flashlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
