Driven by steam, hydraulics, ocean waves, hydro or ice fluids can be a great way to make energy. There are hundreds of ideas that need to be explored and thus there is a big need for the meeting of minds online. If not to protect our atmosphere from unnecessary pollution to improve health or Global Climate Change then surely for our unfortunate dependence on foreign oil we must seek other innovative alternative energies.
Funding International Terrorists with soon too be nuclear weapons, is a disaster waiting for a location. I must tell you I agree that we need additional methods deriving energy to propel our nation and our transportation devices, well stated indeed.
I guess in colder parts of the United States, especially in the Winter Time, that we could very easily allow the water to freeze and thus expand to push some form of device, connected to an energy generation system. We know that hydro-electricity is a super way to go and it was invented here in the United States you know.
Ocean Wave energy is another very nice idea. Here is an interesting member of our think tank's concept:

He uses ocean wave energy, but the same could be done with ice, after all its volume expands and it can separate boulders and crack giant rocks, that is a lot of force? Or steam of course we know is a very power thing as well.
If you change the make up of the liquid or fluid then the temperature could be less on either side of the equation, and you could use sound waves or vibrational energies to change the state of the fluid to move an electricity generator device. Even some gases when bombarded with sound waves that build up in a confined area can create tremendous pressures. Tests have been done with Compressed Helium in steel tanks.
Its time for America and America’s greatest assets, its entrepreneurs and innovators to get us out of this dilemma. I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.
