Scientifically eloquent indeed, with a heart!!!! The test of a genius is creating solutions from one's outpouring compassion..
@bamboo4tameshigiri Comments like that are why we don't let you run things.
Greatest. TED. Talk. Ever.
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.
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.
its a R&D field under development and research this is nanotechnolgy in these years and it has problem in mass production because it is new little bit mysterious but recently a lot of companies are working on it so this is logical
This gives me hope for the future. Not only because it makes perfect sense but because here is a scientist motivated by a picture of a little girl dying of thirst, more than any other motivation.
One of the best ever TED talks.
If we could put our collective ego's to one side perhaps we could just make this happen. Thank you for your humanity
This right here, is the answer to one of humanities greatest concerns. Clean Energy.
Blown away here, again! This should be copied, shared mentioned, redistributed everywhere.
Good luck getting all the people profiting from the power industry to go along with this. They are going to pour every cent they need into making sure this doesn't happen.
This
This guy doesn't need money. I've heard he's got D.O.D. contracts already.
This is the kind of thinking out world needs.
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.
Only if every one thinks this way !! i would love yo meet a person like you !
An excellent talk to say the least !
This guy is definitely onto something!
Wow, brilliant! Every person who can, should be contributing whatever they can to help this R&D move forward, through funding or whatever is needed! It doesn't require much if enough people get behind it. These are the kinds of solutions we need and which can change everything.
The ending was beautiful
I just love the rhythm of his speaking. Really efficient.
This talk has no less than 3 different world changing breakthroughs, if they all come to fruition. New TED record?
@MarkArandjus Absolutely correct. I dont know if you follow the zeitgeist movement, or the venus project, or if you're just incredibly informed and think things through clearly, but you nailed it, amigo.
Very encouraging! We were waiting for a new concept beyond the acid-lead battery---you mean storing energy in the window carbon film, instead? Redirecting light, even moonlight, great! Let this go viral~~~
Wow! This technology, in conjunction with; space based solar power, geothermal power, high altitude wind power, and (hopefully sometime in the near future) nuclear fusion, would be my dream for energy production. Good to see some folks are working away with aspirations to make their technology affordable, clean and efficient. More power to you!
Use to watch all your videos back in the day. Just watched the interview you posted too.
Now that's the kind of dedication I like to see!
Fantastic.
Lord God, please bless this man's work and further his ideas!!!!
This guy is a visionary
I can't understand why this doesn't have 100 million views and 50 million likes. Our current cultural climate sucks. And it makes me sad.
its not any better 10 years on. but overall, this video is still better than gold.
Pure genius.
Inspiring stuff. I hope I live long enough to see this technology become the norm.
Brilliant.
This guy just drop, not one, but two atom bombs of nex-gen technology AND said, in a very kind way, FU to all those who tried to stop him... great man, may you live long and prosper.
Where are we with this project as of December 2014?
Wow...impressive! This is most definitely the way forward.
This... Is... Absolutly Amazing...
This is the sort of thing I want to work on
Well, this is already 4 years ago. So, where is this seemingly marvelous technolgy he is heartly speaking about.
Purrscratchheadbutt carbon nano tubes, hard to mass produce still and expensive
Check out my recent interview with Justin Hall asking some in depth follow up questions on themes presented in this talk!
@Saesegral I wish TED was around when I was at school - I would have worked so much harder at it.
Now that is what technology should be about.
Looking forward to see this implemented on scale
Incredible
YES! I knew someone would be able to create night vision lenses! :D i was waiting for this for over 10 years
I WANT THIS in my house, this is beautiful
Oh my, this is brilliant!
@Vortex42 # thanks for our response. I get your points. Much appreciated.
I do hope these people are successful. They will need someone to protect them. People have been killed for less.
Its good that crowd was silent just to hear what he says not today but atleast 75yrs later his stuff would be revolutionary cuz now no one wil realise the killing of natural resources
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.
Fantastic. Just fantastic. The nanotech-revolution is upon us.
I support this.
Wow...this is amazing
He had me at a minute and thirty seconds.
The title of this video reminds me of Iain M Banks Culture series. They use something called 'the Grid' to get nearly unlimited energy. In the scifi series this is supposedly a grid between universes.
@HarrysMusicBlog so fucking true brahh word up... may god bless this man with unlimited resources
@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.
@IHighLikePlane
I remember 2 years ago there were little comments on youtube about the zeitgeist movement and the resource based economy. Now, I see it on practically every video related to the depletion of resources. Great how things turn out =)
@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.
@jbdyoni That sounds like a good mixture to me, JB. I wish you the best with that, and look forward to benefitting from your contribution to society! :D
@ennot if those in power are rotten, we must take the power from them.In the energy issue, we can build alternatives inside our community, which provide us with at least a small part of our needs. Solutions (real ones) won't come from them, we must start to build them ourselves.Basically all the world's major issues are due to carelessness for people versus money.what do you think of the rest of my arguments?centralisation vs resilience,complementing different small sources,reducing consumption
this is great, where can we get updates on development of this? No news often means bad news so please keep us updated :)
A great dream for the future, please let it be soon!! Without the greed of current system would be nice too thanks!
AMAZING!
@PederPadde "They can't allow this" is referring to corporations' responses towards interests, not only contrary to the interests of the corporations, but contrary to the survival of the corporations themselves.
@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.
@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?
Wow! Just Wow!
@depro9 I agree with this statement. It is seemingly the will of corporations to crush innovation over profits. So, the will will have to come from somewhere not guarded by selfishness. The money likewise.
It is unfair to call this a red herring, but perhaps it is overstated. It is hard to see how all of our electricity can come from surrounding solar light, when this is of less energy than is needed to power devices of varying sorts.
It could still help though. 1 kW less is still 1 kW
@Vortex42 How much oil is used in the material in that laptop?
This idea of a greener power source is great, and I'm all aboard. I've been doing everything i can to reduce my carbon footprint. Well, I could probably do more, but we all could.
The problem is, reducing our dependencies on oil energy is only a percentage of the solution, and yes, I agree, it's a start.
The use of fossil fuel needs to be reduced across the board. As energy source and building material, etc.
@soulsanctuarymusic1 Conductivity is important but what is most important is the photovoltaic effect of the material. You can have say a superconductor but it won't build an electric tension is it doesn't have a photovoltaic effect.
I love the idea, however what is not mentioned is simple efficiency. What is the efficiency of such a unit in conversion and power density. Photovoltaics are 15% efficient and rely on that someone what steady 1000 watt meter square of isolation, this requires quite a bit area of area to generate sufficient power. This technology needs to surpass 15% efficiency and cost quite a bit less than other alternative energies. I do hope the research continues as this will undoubtedly be beneficial.
@jbdyoni
I am excited for you! :)
I am still a freshmen in college. Science and technology is my passion, but i don't know where i want to go yet.
@Applest2oApples However, the raw energy falling upon human infrastructure (cities, roads etc) is of many magnitudes greater than our energy needs!
Amazing!
Is research on this still ongoing?
Corporations are amoral,and so while they cannot necessarily be considered"evil",they cannot be considered"good".If they buy out your idea,you end up losing in a certain sense.A company will not buy out your idea/patent unless it foresees a profit in doing so.
The question isn't "what if you come up with a 3000mpg carburetor?",the question is"what if you don't need a carburetor at all?"If energy becomes free,the shift of wealth in the world would be astronomical.They can't allow this.
Free Energy True Freedom !
WE need to build huge MIRROR in space that can give us a ONLY light NOT HEAT at night. Do, that is how we can save some energy. Great video!
Id love to see some numbers of how effective this is, is it working on a scale that will be useable?
Nanotubes currently cost a hundred dollars per gram to produce. They are expensive because they require a crapload of time and energy to make
Besides solar power isn't the densest energy source we can tap. There's breeder-fission which could be as cheap as a thousandth of a cent per kilowatt (see LFTR), and fusion via PNE which would litterally make money over operation time by transmuting fissile isotopes for a few lithium and deuterium (see PACER). All this could be available within 10 years.
@hpearson902
His energy maker is just cheap night vision goggles. But if you mix the technology with large sheet of nano film it will produce a lot more energy, especially if you were to coat your house with it. The color change film is becoming available soon and will save in heating and cooling especially in large buildings. Line of sight means basically, the extra energy will be put back into the IR window film and make it glow, someone across the street with the same tech absorb it
@phaedrusalt the tech isn't perfect i think i just mentioned that, what i am saying is you keep working at it. if you can't do that then there is no such thing as progress. it's like hey i think i can make this object fly out and kill your enemies if you shoot it out of a barrel by adding some explosive powder. the first couple times it probably blew everything up and seemed useless, does that mean you stop and say i think i'll stick with my spear? no you keep going till you find out what works.
I freakin love u !! just incredible !
mankind is not going to prevail, but evolve into a godlike being capable of immortalizing himself in this particular universe.
This is great if it comes into reality in this context. Unfortunately I believe that the big power companies will find a way to tax this system. They are never going to allow the public to have free energy. Just because it's free doesn't mean that they will make it available to us free, no way.
@mellamosean Actually, it is, in a way. Just like yours is. We're all captives of the guardians of the status quo on energy, work and money right now.
@hpearson902 Just because you don't get it, doen't mean he isn't working. The plastic that "changes colour" is Carbon and carbon is a green house gas. So if you had it on your window in the winter, you'd keep in all the heat with little need of central heating. And he does give a solution. If his energy solution is mass produced, we won't need $19trillion to de-salt or filter our water.
Well there is no such thing as "free", technically not even air is free, it just has such a low cost and high abundance that nobody is going to pay for it. Still though, the cost of energy and it's availability could improve hugely, and the world needs this. Same goes for water availability.
@Vortex42 Not all the power you need, not even close. You might have noticed that your windows tend to be vertical, not horizontal, right? So, installing this on your windows will give you sub-optimal solar gathering capability. So, even assuming that you're living on the equator (Best possible case) and assuming that it's 100% efficient, you will need something like 54 square meters of windows to generate your home's power, plus a huge gang of batteries.
@rigamortis1066 Good point, but I suggest you take a look at the Japanese space-based solar work. Although solar in space would seem to be ideal, there's then the dual problems of getting the collectors into space, and then getting the energy back down to the ground. Sadly, it doesn't appear to be cost-effective anytime in the near future.
Oil Barons will never let go of their ability to make money, that's why clean energy hasn't taken off and I feel it'll be very hard to make it work simply due to behind the scenes dark politics.
We've had the ability for years to create infinite energy from multiple sources but they're always brushed aside.
Brilliant
I got slightly chocked up watching this! Fucking bravo that man, Make this man fucking President of the world NOW!!!!!
great idea, too avant garde, we have to wait for at least another several decades to even just make these applicable even just in a lab
Can someone let me know where I can find a job building stuff like this?
this guy earned his standing ovation. The scientists of today HAVE to give a fuck because the politicians certainly do not.
@SuperFinGuy my bad, but whatever they are currently made of, i was trying to suggest that the more conductive the material, the more efficient they would be at absorbing solar energy. Or is that incorrect?
most likely they are already utilizing some form of this technology concerning beaming microwaves to Earth.
Thanks for uploading this Very informative.
Very interesting, but I wish he'd gone a bit more in detail since I didn't quite understand the way this tech works.
Batman's night vision contacts! Hell yeah!
@phaedrusalt also his initial point was to heat/cool your house by controlling the light that reaches the interior of the house, power might come later after you figure out how you could produce energy with a small area. i believe they will though, humans aren't stupid; and we most definitely have not reached a plateau in technology.
@GregYong Suppose someone came to you and said, "I can get 500 gallons of water out of that 100 gallon container." Would you believe them? Now, when someone says that he can produce enough energy for you to take your house off the grid, shouldn't you be just as skeptical? He's saying that you can produce enough energy from the space of your windows, I'm saying your windows would have to be many times BIGGER THAN YOUR HOUSE for that to work. Oh, and it would cost more than your house, too.
