Hybrid Means Synergistic Life

How I love that name -- the hybrid. Today there are many hybrid cars with plenty of new designs. We live in a time when many people want to invest in renewable sources of energy ... or in highly accessible non-polluting sources of energy. Wind, solar, compressed air, steam, hydrogen, bio fuels, electricity, nuclear power, brown's gas -- are but a few of them.

See the hybrids most advertised today here.

I love the air compressed car they plan to release in the United States for about $18,000 with a seating of six passengers. It gets 106 MPG and has half the pollution of a Toyota prius. I'm told it goes up to 96 miles per hour on the highway. Under 35 MPG it runs solely on compressed air. It needs oil changes only once every 50,000 miles.

Is this only more compressed air? Judge for yourself here.

I love the idea of 20 percent of our energy coming from giant wind turbines that span the middle of the United States. This would free up natural gas for trucks and reduce our dependence on foreign oil while we improve renewable resources. George Pickens has a distant cousin, T. Boone Pickens, who heads up an initiative to do it. He is already spending his own resources and building fields of mega-wind mills in Texas. Anyone of us can join this effort in our own way -- he has a grand web of sites to organize. On my web site I keep a link. I invite you to join us and begin fighting a renewable energy future.

I love the idea of using more solar and wind for electrical generation. Did you see the car in the 2007 Time inventions of the year that ran on a windmill (on the roof) and solar panels. What a crackup. It used electricity with batteries. I love it! Check it out.

I love the idea of hydrogen with hydride storage which reduces hydrogen to 4 X less space. It used to take a 60 gallon tank to hold what 15 gallons of gasoline provides -- no longer. With hydride storage you can shoot a bullet through the tank and it will simply create a momentary flicker of flame and go out. No explosion! Thank you Roger Billings for yet another hydrogen related invention. Hydrogen could now become a reality. I noticed a recent invention with hydrogen cartridges for hydrogen cars -- printer anyone?

Check an an early article on Roger Billings drinking water from the exhaust!

Or how about the new hydrogen fuel cell released by Honda -- invented by Roger Billings years a go but Honda has worked out a hydrogen plan that can work from your home storage system using natural gas. Okay, I think there are better renewable energy sources for hydrogen in our oceans with wave action. Isn't that obvious? Others have converted water to hydrogen with solar, wind, and even pulsed sound generation.

See the California effort with hydrogen cars.

See many hydrogen options here.

Did you love that Hybrid that works on electricity designed by a physics inventor for Volvo? The engine is in the wheels and so the brakes are actually removed. Why use brakes if you can do breaking with an engine that puts the energy back into the car. Look ma -- no engine!

I see them using the radiator steam to put back 40 percent more power to the engine from an inventor in San Diego. I heard that the Germans had done the same thing only with a 15 percent recycling rate and 14 percent additional horsepower. Don't you love American inventors? He did it without using a radiator and making it six strokes. Talk about a hot run!

Many of these cars are running on the fuel of your choice. It reminds me of camper stoves in days past. Bruce Crower, an American Steam Engine inventor, says this will run on almost any fuel! What an advantage. A veritable montage of choices.

Brown's gas is a gas -- almost hydrogen. No storage at all but a conversion of water to brown's gas which has more hydrogen in it. And then it boosts your car's output with plain water. And the conversion kits are often done at home by everyday ordinary people. American ingenuity. I was so sad the day that inventor died. If you ever see his youtube demonstrations -- he'll win you over in a moment.

What an age to live in.

I used to say that cars were 76 percent of the pollution that we have in the United States. But that can change. We have the ability to change it. And the ability to reduce allergies, asthma, cancer, and many other diseases from it. It is not the only area that needs a hybrid solution.

How about all the pollution from our pharmaceuticals entering the water stream by throwing pills in the trash? Or from batteries with mercury in the trash? Or by strong lobbyists who put the run-off aluminum manufacturing waste into our water? Be informed, fight for a cleaner environment. Make manufacturers offer a synergistic self-feeding system of renewable energy. Better yet, start buying from those who do it now.

In all of this I see hope. Great pollutions are filling up the air, the water, the ground fills, and many areas but we have a choice. Even local organic food can be a choice we make. I live in a senior complex where we have over 60 plots of gardens. Some of them live out of their gardens for 100 percent of their food. Amazing. Many local growers actually deliver locally grown vegetables weekly for a fee -- direct marketing for local, organic food.

Life needs synergy. Maybe that is why I'm so intrigued with hybrids. They use the best of what we have got and improve upon it. Every tree we grow has the synergy of microbials and fungi all around it. This symbiotic relationship gives more to life. Food grown with the same rich microbial environment gives back to us many fold. Bio-intensive farming actually increases the loam of soil 12 to 60 times each year. Over the years it is richer, not poorer. Pests are not controlled, they are condoned and pick off the weaker plants we should not be eating. Companion planting helps control the life cycle of pests in a positive way.

It is ironic that the Chinese who had to feed a billion figured this all out long before we did and created renewable energy resources, acupuncture for healthy animals, and a self-feeding system that fed the cycle of life upon itself. It is ironic that we polluted them with our cars, our style of agriculture, and crazy need to put TVs, radios, electronics, and noise in every home. Today we import their style of farming to over 100 countries through Stanford University.

Even in our lifestyle, the hybrid design can be an incredible tool. My brother now takes tai chi chuan in classes and herbs. I wake up early to an hour of Qi Qong every day. It is my hybrid design with American ingenuity. We can make this life synergistically better in every way.

I plan to give my life to hybrids and a synergistic life and I hope you will join me.
