  • www.ted.com What would happen if we could generate power from our windowpanes? In this moving talk, entrepreneur Justin Hall-Tipping shows the materials that could make that possible, and how questioning our notion of 'normal' can lead to extraordinary breakthroughs.
    TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of languages are now available on TED.com, at www.ted.com/translate.

    What I have a problem with in these TED talks is there is nowhere to buy these materials. All the labs make behind the scenes deals and make the material unavailable and/or highly expensive to the everyday person. If they made these materials "open source" and allowed the masses to innovate with it, more people would become wealthy and more technologies would emerge. "Take my money" is usually never an option. If anyone knows where to buy these materials. LET ME KNOW

      Benjamin Gresko ....you'll never get them mate, your here to serve. Anyone coming out with this simple technology would be & have been assassinated. It started at your birth.........your birth 'certificate', your an indentured servant. Your here to serve the system, your a slave & so are your children & your children's children. Wake up bro 👊

      That's kind of the point of TED talks, is showing people what companies are doing with cutting edge technology, usually decades away from commercial application. Chances are if an invention threatens a lucrative business, it won't see the light of day.

    • @sigma682
      @sigma682 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Justin Hall-Tipping is CEO of Nanoholdings, LLC. Their slogan on their website (nH2.com) is "We invent and commercialise" so i't's not a completely altruistic company, they are in business to make a profit. However, Tesla is also a for-profit business, yet it's not their mission to make a profit, it's simply a means to an end.

    I'm always amazed when I see the amazing capacity of the human mind and the ability to solve so many problems. I've seen it so many times, solutions for energy, that sound so convincing, and that they're going to happen, soon even, and then ... where are they now? What I desire most of all now, is not so much free energy but a revolution of heart and mind. Without that we will remain static.

    @ennot I live in Minnesota and according to the professor at my university the cost of solar cells per kilowatt hour will be cheaper than using other sources within this decade. Based on research, to power the entire state of Minnesota, we would need 144 sq.miles of solar panels (15% efficiency). For the sake of comparison, Minneapolis-stpaul area is 6000 sq.miles. If you include only the area of roofs and glass panels in buildings in Minneapolis you could power the entire state.

    Yep, and that's why we're reaching a bit of a roadblock in Moore's Law. Instead of just doubling the number of transistors again and thereby making each gap even smaller, we're just doubling the amount of cores on the CPU.

    @hpearson902 The water is brought up because it needs energy to make drinkable water out of polluted or otherwise undrinkable water (like the case he brought up, salt water).
    And the "energy maker" is that size as a proof of concept, not the final deal most likely :P
    The changing of color absorbs or lets through light.
    If you can reflect light you can reflect energy, hence the "beaming" energy where you need it.
    That's how i understood it atleast :)

    @Vortex42 But you have to also consider everything related to oil corporations, and other corporations. Many corporations are interconnected, or part of a conglomerate. They can't stop competition, in theory, but they can advertise against, it, buy politicians to stop it, attempt to buy them out (imagine if Salk were coerced to sell the patent for the Polio vaccine to Bayer or some pharmaceutical corporation), and other things. Can you power your car with home energy sources? Farm food? Water?

    @vanakes Any start up costs would be enormous. It's in the 'longterm' savings that the benefits would occur. Once mass production and consumption occur, costs would eventually lower.
    Creating a new infrastructure, disassembling the old one, and handling the surge of initial unemployment is another 'cost'.
    It's daunting but not impossible. If we live to see it happen we'll also suffer through it as well. It's our children, possibly our grandchildren that would truly benefit from this change.

  • @rhodesphotoco
    @rhodesphotoco 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    You makes some good points, and this is definately the type of discussion that should be going on everywhere right now. You mentioned that energy abundance would cause the pop. to explode, but abundance and freedom from want of necessity slows the birthrate dramatically as there isn't a struggle to pass genes into the future like there is in the 3rd world. Global energy abundance would amelierate most human woes. Plus, low-impact and high-efficiency energy would cure enviromental woes, duh.

    @Vortex42 (Don't know if you got my reply, the server ate it.) This is the point of our disagreement, this doesn't have the potential to become powerful simply because there isn't enough power density there to do anything with. It's like the gold in the ocean, there's enough there to make you the richest man alive, but it's so distributed that you'd go broke trying to get it.

    @phaedrusalt That's a fair point well made - Solar radiation on the ground depends much on your region and the ability to capture it, on the efficiency of your capturing technology. However, to suggest that non-grid electricity generation of this kind can't be done is short sighted. First, we don't know efficiency of tech here, & second, we don't know how it's applied - Also, it appeared to be capable of more than generate power alone - Also of regulating temperature of building & storing power.
