Biogas from Waste and Renewable Resources: An Introduction

Written as a practical introduction to biogas plant design and operation, this book fills a huge gap by presenting a systematic guide to this emerging technology — information otherwise only available in poorly intelligible reports by US governmental and other official agencies. The author draws on teaching material from a university course as well as a wide variety of industrial biogas projects he has been involved with, thus combining didactical skill with real-life examples. Alongside biological and technical aspects of biogas generation, this timely work also looks at safety and legal aspects as well as environmental considerations.

The Energy Evolution - Harnessing Free Energy from Nature

British architect Callum Coats edited and translated this book from Viktor Schauberger's works with the full title The Energy Evolution - Harnessing Free Energy from Nature (2000). Schauberger, a famous austrian natural philosopher, predicted the ecological catastrophes which are occuring all around us and proposed the solution - return to the principles of mother nature. Among other topics discussed here, this particular book lays out the philosophy of implosion which is nature's own way to make things move without destroying them as our current technology does via explosion. Many applications of implosion technology are discussed which can be constructed and used in our homes to provide clean ways of harnessing nature's gigantic energy potential. 260 pages, many pictures. A must read for everyone. From the backcover: This final volume in the Eco-technology series deals with generation of energy using Nature's enormous potential. Nature produces energy by slow, cool, implosive means - by a centripetal inward motion, while our present culture uses explosive centrifugal (outwards) movement, which is wasteful and many times less powerful and effective. It also uses up the Earth's resources and pollutes her ecosystems. This volume describes different kinds of energy machines which depend on the principle of implosion: ? a spring water-producing machine ? a tornado home energy generator ? a Klimator which produces mountain-quality air ? the biotechnical submarine ? a technique for producing power from ocean deeps ? a flying saucer prototype which rose at fantastic speed to high altitudes ? a perpetual motion suction-based implosion machine

Identifying the Opportunities in Alternative Energy

The prices of fossil fuels, particularly oil and natural gas, have risen sharply over the past few years. As a result, alternative sources of energy — used specifically in electricity generation and transportation — are garnering increasing attention. Although they still meet only a small percentage of global energy demand, the more commercially viable alternative energy sources are growing rapidly, presenting investors with the potential for attractive long-term opportunities.

Integration of Alternative Sources of Energy

A unique electrical engineering approach to alternative sources of energy. Unlike other books that deal with alternative sources of energy from a mechanical point of view, Integration of Alternative Sources of Energy takes an electrical engineering perspective. Moreover, the authors examine the full spectrum of alternative and renewable energy with the goal of developing viable methods of integrating energy sources and storage efficiently. Readers become thoroughly conversant with the principles, possibilities, and limits of alternative and renewable energy.
The book begins with a general introduction and then reviews principles of thermodynamics. Next, the authors explore both common and up-and-coming alternative energy sources, including hydro, wind, solar, photovoltaic, thermosolar, fuel cells, and biomass. Following that are discussions of microturbines and induction generators, as well as a special chapter dedicated to energy storage systems. After setting forth the fundamentals, the authors focus on how to integrate the various energy sources for electrical power production. Discussions related to system operation, maintenance, and management, as well as standards for interconnection, are also set forth.
