Hopper
Reviewed, Not Ranked Yet
The following technologies have been reviewed by the New Energy Congress, but are not currently ranked in the Top 100 according to the criteria established by the NEC.
- Validated | Available for Commercial Purchase | Geothermal >
Geothermal - Needs to be large to be economical in range of grid cost. Grid paridy is probably a decade away.
- Directory:Electromagnetic >
Bearden's MEG - Electromagnetic generator without moving parts which includes a permanent magnet and a magnetic core. (http://cheniere.org) (NEC Specialist: Leslie R. Pastor)
- Directory:Electromagnetic >
Supermag - Enigma G.C.'s "SuperMag" allegedly uses manipulated magnetic fields to generate electricity sufficient to power the needs of a home or office building and provides clean electrical power for free to the consumer after the initial cost of the purchase and installation of the system. "The first beta proto-type should be ready next year and is to be tested by an independent research lab over the following year to fully evaluate its performance and capabilities."
- Directory:Electrolysis >
HyPower Fuel Inc - HyPower Fuel has equipped a Volkswagen GTi with its H2 Reactor (H2R) hydrogen system that can produce sufficient hydrogen on board to power the vehicle using only water. The H2 Reactor uses electrolysis to convert water into a hydrogen/oxygen gas which powers the internal combustion engine.
- Directory:Engines >
Scuderi Split-Cycle Air Hybrid Engine - Claims potential to double fuel efficiency for same size engine, while reducing the manufacturing price by 50%. Because it very similar to existing ICE technology, existing manufacturing infrastructure can be used for rapid deployment. Presently licensing to qualified manufacturing interests. (http://www.scuderigroup.com)
- Validated | Available for Purchase | Directory:Electrolysis > Directory:Fuel_Efficiency_Hydrogen_Injection
Electrolyzed Hydrogen-Oxygen to Air Intake > Hydrogen-Boost.com (http://hydrogen-boost.com) - H and O (Brown's gas) from on-board electrolysis injected into air intake. System presently available for sale. Other techniques also employed to increase fuel economy. (http://hydrogen-boost.com) (NEC Specialist: Fran Giroux [principal])
- Directory:Fuel Efficiency >
Aeroscraft - Californian-based Aeros has a developed a modern blimp with a quiet, electric prop-motor combination, requiring only half of the fuel of a jet with similar carrying capacity. Passenger and freight models planned. Runway infrastructure not required. (http://www.aerosml.com/aeroscraft.asp)
- Validated | Available for Commercial Purchase | Directory:Electrolysis >
Electrolysis direct to pressure - techniques the produce high pressure H2 directly from electrolysis, for savings in efficiency of production infrastructure. (http://www.avalence.com/) (http://clean-air.org/) (NEC Specialist: Tai Robinson)
- Directory:Thermal Electric > OTEC
Sea Solar Power - Sea Solar Power Inc. is one of several companies seeking to tap sea temp. gradient. Reverse refrigeration process generates electricity from the difference in temperature between surface and deep water. Grid-price competitive commercial version expected in 2-3 years, depending on funding. (http://www.seasolarpower.com/otec.html)

Water Wall Turbine - Efficient converting of tidal flow energy into electricity. (http://www.wwturbine.com/)
- Directory:Nuclear >
Dr. Bogdan Maglich's aneutronic MIGMA fusion process (http://www.google.com/search?q=Bogdan+Maglich%27s+aneutronic+MIGMA+fusion+process) - was highly praised by MIT and actually closer to overunity than any other fusion system, inexpensive (in economy of scale), and non-radioactive.
- Directory:Electromagnetic >
EV Gray Motor - Gray motor was the first market-ready prototype replication of Nikola Tesla's radiant energy phenomenon. Never made it to market for reasons that his nephew described as "paranoia, secrecy, and greed". Numerous attempts to resurrect the technology.
- Directory:Electromagnetic >
Godin & Roschin (Searl-like) (http://www.freeenergynews.com/Directory/Roschin_and_Godin/)
- Directory:Tidal Power >
Tidal and River Turbine by University of Southampton - The University of Southampton's minimalist design significantly reduces the number of moving parts, and is fully assembled prior to installation, reducing costs. Estimates five years to commercialization.
- Directory:Engines >
Jirnov Vortex Engine (http://pesn.com/2005/04/25/6900086_Jirnov_Vortex_Turbine/) - 25 kW prototype shown to have strong torque, using half the energy, with half the emissions. $1 million grant awarded General Vortex Energy by the Navy to build 125-kW prototype. Nine U.S. patents.
- Directory:Electromagnetic >
Hilden-Brand Electromagnet Motor - Jack Hilden-Brand recently measured around 2x over-unity in his electromagnetic motor design, which closely resembles the Joseph Flynn parallel path concept.
- Deriving Power from Atmospheric Pressure Differences over Geographically-Spaced Sites - New method of power generation proposes to harness the difference in atmospheric pressure between locations 100 to 200 miles apart, with reliability comparable to coal, nuclear, gas, and hydro, but at a cost substantially lower, and with no pollution. (http://www.coldenergyllc.com/)
- Wave Propulsion (http://pesn.com/2005/09/21/9600170_Wave_Propulsion/) - Brief History identifying why the approach has been abandoned by major entities, and suggesting how to revive this yet-to-be-fully-actualized approach.
- Directory:Electromagnetic >
Wingate Lambertson solid state system (http://www.google.com/search?q=Wingate+Lambertson+solid+state+system)
- Directory:Vortex Technologies >
Mimicing nature's design for fans - PAX Scientific designs fans, impellers, propellers, mixers based on the geometries of a whirlpool. The result is an approximate 33% improvement in efficiency, reduced noise, size and cost. (http://paxscientific.com)
Need to Create PESWiki page for T100 Vote

ReGen Power Systems
Ken Rauen march 8, 2007
This posting for a commercial Stirling engine is worth putting on NEC for a vote for Top 100. It is a very practical interrim technology for waste heat conversion into electricity, plus low grade solar heat. It might be cheaper than the solar collector project in San Diego.
From Dick Meloy
Please add the invention of ReGen Power Systems to your store of Stirling engine knowledge. We will demonstrate within the week a bench model, 10-cylinder engine operating on a hot side of 185F and a cold side of 55F. This is the proof of concept for planned engines in the power output range of 200kW - 2 MW. Our website is www.rgpsystems.com.
Technologies to Consider for T100 Status
- Instructions
- As you (NEC member) move items up and down in this list, be sure to include the entire set of text that is part of the listing.
Gritskevich
The following was recommended by Robert Nelson of http://RexResearch.com on Jan. 30, 2007.
The Russian inventor Gritskevich has patented & built a simple OU device that is extremely powerful (Barium-Titanate, ultrapure water, capacitors, toroid --- see http://www.rexresearch.com/gritskevich/gritskevich.htm ) --- and Russian scientists are very available... and so is barium titanate (for now)...
Roy Meyers' Diamagnetic Absorber
The following was recommended by Robert Nelson of http://RexResearch.com on Jan. 30, 2007.
Roy Meyers' diamagnetic Absorber (http://www.rexresearch.com/meyers/meyers.htm) --- simple, cheap, powerful, proven/built, public domain, but with plenty of room for improvement ( = more patents = busine$$ deals).

Need More Information Before Listing
Post items here for which additional information is necessary before it is ready to be considered by NEC.
- Electromagnetic / ZPE > China - A New Magnetic Conversion of Zero Point Energy (http://www.zpenergy.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2206) - The Wang Shum Ho Prototype Electricity Generator was reportedly demonstrated to five Chinese Officials on Jan 15, 2007. Four 5kW working units are planned for academic validation, then 200 more will be produced. Mass production may begin in 2008. “The World Energy Crisis is effectively over.��? (ZPEnergy; January 24, 2007)
- Plug Power - In 1998 a man named Wallace Edward Brand in Washington DC was mentioning this often on the usa-tesla list, but he's been inactive for a few years now. It looked like a promising technology, involving installations on individual homes. Supposedly they were well funded through corporate and venture capital sources. {Referred by Michael Riversong}
