Advances in the field of electrical energy generation will peak the interests of most people. Our energy demands will increase over time and alternative forms of electrical energy may be free and more cost effective to produce over time making energy costs drastically drop as well as helping to save the planet. The newest technologies are making it possible to power our world in a more eco friendly manner.

If you thought nature was strong, you were right. The moon has a gravity force that it is so strong that it pulls on all of the water on earth. This pull creates currents, creates movement and even pulls the tide in. This same sweeping motion also causes the water to recess back into the depths from which it came. Many new types of water turbines are being installed to take advantage of this raw power to transform it into clean electricity for immediate use.

Solar cells are one of the technologies that improvements are being made upon. The creation of the actual cells and the process to generate energy from the sun has improved drastically making it possible to harness more energy from the sun. With the addition of magnifying lenses that direct the light into concentrated beams onto the solar cells, they can be provided with many more times the intensity of light. This allows for more light to be absorbed into the cell and converted into electricity.

The byproducts that nuclear plants produce are very scary. The even scarier part is that they are stored under mountains. What if the mountain was really a dormant volcano? How would scattering millions of tons of molten radioactive debris all through the earth's atmosphere sound? Very bad. With improvements in our electricity generating options, our dependence on nuclear energy will diminish, allowing us to make bad energy sources like these obsolete.

Eventually, there will be a special way to transfer electricity through the air waves. Experiments with helicopters and transfer of energy through microwaves have proven successful in the transference of electrical energy to a ground station. This allows for future of advancements in energy transfer and possible charging capabilities from long distance sources.

Solar energy cells will be able to be installed in space to collect solar energy. With advancements in energy transfer such as with the helicopter experiment, we will be able to collect energy that is almost pure and in constant collection of solar energy. These advancements may free us from energy solutions that harm the earth and create bad side effects that can harm the ecology of the world.

Closing Comments

The future looks bright, and that light is powered by alternative energy sources. This makes it possible to help our planet heal over time and maybe global warming can be stopped or reduced enough to affect our future generations a lot less.
