While the carbohydrates produced by plants through photosynthesis does not apply to our energy needs, this process can be modified to produce hydrogen. Artificial photosynthesis mimics an extremely efficient process that bacteria, algae, and plants use to produce renewable energy resources.

Initial Ideas

Stirling Engine

Thermoelectric

  • Forum for the Future’s Head of Built Environment, Martin Hunt, notes that “Geothermal technologies have been around for a long time and are commercially viable. It looks like this application of heat recapture technology will only make sense in busy public spaces, but if the numbers stack up I can see it could be used on a wider scale.”

  • "There is nothing in this that would have prevented them inventing this 10 or even 20 years ago," commented Professor Sir John Pendry of Imperial College London who has seen the experiments.

  • monitoring neurons in brain, brain's electricity is only 20-100 microvolts, too small, but one person did map it out to produce an epilepsy song

Getting closer

  • Designing a fictional history in which an artist is contracted to redesign an electrical company. the artwork is the redesign of the organisation which will design the next electrical company and generator product. a slightly decentralised solution. it needs to be mass production, scalable.
  • Franchising, turn key operation
  • a world in which stirling engine and other thermoelectrics were more popular?
  • blinking?
  • energy harvesting + wireless energy transmission (distributed generation) -> driving forward miniaturisation -> providing infinite power to the internet of things
  • good points of wireless energy is that it has a long operating life and no battery maintenance with this
