Forget Solar Energy, This is the Future

New invention 'harvests' electricity from background radiation and could be used to beam power to remote locations or recharge phones wirelessly

  • Device captures microwaves and converts them into electricity
  • Future versions could harvest satellite, sound or Wi-Fi signals
  • Technology could be used to recharge phones without cables or beam electricity to mountaintops

  • Engineers at Duke University have designed a breakthrough gadget that 'harvests' background microwave radiation and converts it into electricity, with the same efficiency as solar panels.
    The development, unveiled on Thursday, raises exciting possibilities such as recharging a phone wirelessly and providing power to remote locations that can't access conventional electricity.
    And the researchers say that their inexpensive invention is remarkably versatile. It could be used to capture 'lost' energy from a range of sources such as satellite transmissions, sound signals or Wi-Fi.
    The future: The device that is capable of harvesting microwave signals from the air consists of five fiberglass and copper conductors wired together on a circuit board

    The Duke engineers used metamaterials, which their press release describes as 'engineered structures that can capture various forms of wave energy and tune them for useful applications.'

    New Delivery Service With a Robotic Smile

    Obama Destroying US Military

    Obama to Force Military Families Away From Tricare ...By Tripling Their Fees.         
    President Barack Obama has said on multiple occasions that he stands by the troops, and lauds their selflessness in fighting the Iraq war and the conflict in Afghanistan.  During a time when our bravest in uniform have been in a state of war for more than a decade, one would think that our fearless leaders should reward their efforts by making life a bit easier at home.
    Instead, Obama simply insists on tripling their fees on the military health insurance program called Tricare.
    What is the administration’s reasoning on this?  Well, they actually admit that Obama would rather the troops partake in ‘alternatives’ that were established in the Affordable Care Act (otherwise known as Obamacare).  In a report from the FreeBeacon.com, Bill Gertz states:
    Administration officials told Congress that one goal of the increased fees is to force military retirees to reduce their involvement in Tricare and eventually opt out of the program in favor of alternatives established by the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare.”
    This is quite a telling move by the Obama administration, due to the transparency in a letter written to congress, as the FreeBeacon.com further reports:
    The Administration is disappointed that the Congress did not incorporate the requested TRICARE fee initiatives into either the appropriation or authorization legislation,” the White House wrote in an official policy statement expressing opposition to the bill, which the House approved in May.”

    Prosperity Index
    The United States is now less economically prosperous than China, Thailand, New Zealand and South Korea, ranking 24th overall in the world.
    The ranking is part of the Prosperity Index, which is produced by the Legatum Institute, a think tank arm of the investment firm Legatum Group based in Dubai. The index measures 142 countries based on a number of criteria, including health, education and economic prosperity.
    Norway ranked first for its economy, followed in the Top 5 by Switzerland, Singapore, Canada and Japan. China was ranked seventh. The US ranked in the Top 20 last year.

    UnPlug Your Electricity As Soon As Possible!

    Walmart, Safeway, Others Unplugging From Unreliable Power Grid

    More large corporations have decided that the electric power grid is unreliable and are planning to unplug from it and generate their own electricity.
    The Wall Street Journal has confirmed a story that Off the Grid News previously reported – and the newspaper found the practice is even more widespread than previously thought.
    Off The Grid News had reported that several large corporations, including Walmart, Safeway, Google, Bank of America and Coca-Cola, are spending hundreds of millions of dollars on systems to generate their own electricity. A Journal article indicates that many other large companies, too, are taking steps to generate their own electricity.
    Electric companies are worried
    The generation of electricity by private corporations has grown to such a level that it’s beginning to cause utility executives to worry, Journal reporters Rebecca Smith and Cassandra Sweet noted. They wrote: “The growing number of companies that are at least partially energy self-sufficient is sending a shudder through the utility industry, threatening its revenues and growth prospects.”
