I would like to live in clean World with wealth of renewable energy and fresh water for all - and I know how to do it by using the patented (RU 2500854) invention of AIR HYDRO (CLOUDS) POWER!
The most powerful natural process - water cycle - uses the 1/4 of Sun energy and distributes this energy equally for all Earth. Air Hydro Power ( http://airhes.com ) is new invention that allows by using only 1% of this energy to get equal access to huge amount of the cheap renewable energy and the fresh water for all people and countries, and to save climate from pollution by CO2 and heat. Please, help me to start this project for happy future of our planet.
If you are interested in this project, connect with me - I can develop the pilot technical prototype (~$50-100k) for a year in any place of the world by bonding the national patents of my International application WO/2013/157991. Please, think ahead - a risk is minimal, a success will be huge!
Each cloud over your head is NPP unit, but much more cheaper and cleaner...
NB! Major trends in energetics are associated with the transition to renewable energy sources. It then becomes clear that resources are only sufficient for sun and (possibly) wind. Traditional hydropower does not have enough resources. However, the use of cloud energy changes this assessment. Principally it results from economics. All three methods of conversion (PV, wind, clouds) have the same order of magnitude of the energy density (~ 100 W/m2), but only for AIR HYDRO all this energy with virtually no loss can be merged into one point (pipe / turbine), making part of the proportional m2 far cheaper than for other alternatives. This implies the 1-2 orders of magnitude smaller the specific cost and Payback period that allows quickly rebuild the energetics and successfully avoid the collapse of climate & oil in 2050.
