Energy What?

---

Solar power is obtained by collecting the sun's heat and/or light using solar panels and photovoltaic panels and converting it into usable energy. It is commonly used for heating, cooking and electricity production.

Pros

• There is no emission of greenhouse gases in the production of solar power.
• There is no fear of the sun “running out” or getting depleted.

Cons

• Solar power stations are costly to put up.
• Power generation is dependent on sunny weather conditions that aren't always available.
• They have been known to melt and start fires.

Wind towers have their blades turned by wind which in turn rotates magnets that produce electricity using a generator. They are usually used in large-scale on wind farms for greater profitability. This method is usually used in Europe, Asia and United States.

Pros

• If you put them in the right places, there is always wind.
• You can make them big or small, and get energy.
• Generation of wind power does not result in the production of greenhouse gases.

Cons

• Wind towers can only be in areas that are relatively windy and even then, not every day is sufficiently windy for energy production.
• For adequate commercial power generation, numerous wind towers must be built.
• Windmills have been said to be aesthetically unpleasant to look at and big.
• No one wants to build their houses around them in tornado areas.

This is a box some Engineers came up with that generates more power than it takes in and creates little to no heat.

Pros

• There are no emissions.
• Commercial power plants will be relatively small and thus have no adverse effects on the surrounding areas.
• Everyone can own their own power plant and power their homes.
• They have no earth-bound requirement to be made or used.
• They work in the darkness of oceans and space.
• They are EMP resistant.
• It is the only one on this page that makes energy, the others just convert energy. The Sun and Earth make all their energy for them.

Cons

• No one knows about it.
• You have to help get it out to the world and fund the inventors for it to be released.
• They will try and make it an economic danger, until they can figure out how to make money from it.

Geothermal: This is heat trapped in the earth's core that is harnessed to generate energy.

Pros

• There is no emission of harmful gases so long as the process is properly carried out.
• Power plants are relatively small thus have no adverse effects on the surrounding areas.

Cons

• Pollutants may be produced if drilling is done improperly.
• Geothermal sites can run out of steam.
• I heard the word drilling.
• Tries to pretend to be renewable, anything from the Earth is not renewable. 

Fossil Fuels: These are found in three types- coal, petroleum and natural gas- all of which are derived from the decomposition of plant and animal matter.

Pros

• They are more easily available than other energy sources from the energy companies.
• They are considered more affordable than many alternative energy sources by the energy companies.

Cons

• These fuels are the biggest producers of greenhouse gases.
• They are steadily decreasing in availability due to over-dependency on them that often results in overuse.
• Big and not usable in space. 
• Natural gas only came to be used in energy, so the Gas Companies could take out the Coal Companies that were cheaper. 

Nuclear Energy Sources: Nuclear energy can be obtained either using fission or fusion. Uranium atoms are split through fission to release large amounts of nuclear energy. The energy is then used to heat water which turns turbines that in turn produce electricity.

The use of fusion is thought to be more efficient than fission, however research into its use is still in its early stages.

Pros

• A small amount of nuclear fuel can produce tremendous amounts of steam to convert into energy.
• There is no emission of greenhouse gases in production of energy because of its steam.

Cons

• By-products from the use of nuclear fuel are highly toxic.
• Supply of sources of nuclear energy like uranium is very limited.
• Nuclear energy can easily be misused to carry out terrorist attacks.
• It's used in space (Nasa's MMRTG), but radioactive to humans and aliens. 
• Just bad, bad, and bad again!

There are a few others, but they have been proven to not generate/convert enough energy to be viable. Or do the same thing as one of the others at a higher cost, and consequence.

Okay, here we go. Let's talk about the problem humans have with energy. First everything we use to convert energy is huge! Go ahead, you put a 30 story wind turbine on your spacecraft. See how many aliens laugh at you. I also don't want my spacecraft stalling out every time I go on the dark side of a planet, so I will pass on solar. The others will just kill everyone onboard, so definitely a pass.

Starting to get it? Furthermore, all the others just convert energy to be used in a power source, then to be made into energy by a big monstrous energy generator. They all need an energy generator to make energy, they don't make energy on their own. The Autonomous Energy Generator uses a battery to start the components making energy, and energy comes out the other side to charge the battery and power the world. Therefore, it is the only energy source that creates its own energy, and produces energy at all. The only exception to that is solar, unless you count that big thing in the sky during the day as a big monstrous energy generator.

Yes, our AEG is small now and only generates 262 watts. But if you compared size to those equations, you get a different answer. We don't need it to be huge, nor do we need energy companies doing it all. The average home needs 11kw of power to run, so if you stacked 41 of these AEG's on top of each other, connected to "one" battery, you could power your house for free for 15-20 years. You could even build your house out of them, and power a city block. Two of these would equal one standard building brick. Your house would be a big faraday cage too! That's for the preppers out there.

Ideas aside, the real wins for human science here are, the AEG's capability to demand and charge its source. Never been done before, and that's what makes it autonomous. Also, the efficiency, there has never been a power source that does not produce more heat than it produces energy. Even a dam under cold water, the turbines are boiling hot, and so are the generators. Solar panels are known to melt and start house fires.

What's really funny, there are people that go to school forever and still think things can't be done. Anyone seen the latest UFO footage from the US Navy. There is a Professor of Physics somewhere on this planet pointing at the sky right now. Yelling at the aliens, "You can't do that!" If you see one of these guys, tell them, "We are humans, yes we can!"

There you go, you now know more than most people in history about human energy. Power Engineers and Scientists saying what! They didn't know Autonomous Energy exists.
