  Harness Hydro Power with a Trompe
Using water pressure to make free compressed air.
	
  
  
Anyone really serious about green energy needs to know about the trompe; a compressed air producing hydropower system. A few thousand of these on our  smaller rivers will produce sigificant amounts of energy from slow flowing low head hydropower.

Another Trompe paper, much more up to date.

While most alternative energy technologies won't compete with with cold 
fusion when it arrives; maintainance free systems like the trompe, roof 
top solar, solar windows and other set and forget power system will hold 
their own against the eventual cold fusion jugganaught.

Third trombe paper. More details on the trombe and siphon systems being 
designed by the Engineering Department at Lancaster University.

Their doing excellent wave power work. I've studied several hundred wave 
power systems the frog looks good.

A good history of the wave power work is on their site.

The 1970's Lancaster Flexible Bag was a very good power technology but I 
happen to know that someone in the British Department of Energy rewrote 
a positive Scientific Review Summery to make it negative. By the time 
the sabotage was detected the men responsible were representing British 
nuclear fuels in the Caribbean. Funny thing was the Caribbeans had no 
nuclear power systems! But it also lacked extradition treaties.  ;-)
If you send somthing to a govenment department that has skeptics in it 
make sure you hand a hard copy to the minister not a departmental lacky. 
Word and PDF files can be made to say anything with a few hours of editing.
My source for the story was 1980's Habatat magazine. Then one of the 
better environment journals.
