Solar
Great example. Your "EER" concept, even if it DID work,
has absolutely nothing to do with the problems facing solar
power. (Hint: solar power isn't being held back because
there's no good way to store or distribute the energy
collected.) In short, this whole "EER" nonsense is IRRELEVANT
to the question of how rapidly solar power sources could be
adopted.

The point being, you have shown absolutely no evidence of any background

question that in the first place.

Common sense.
Exactly when do you intend to start showing THAT? Nothing
you have said to date demonstrates a shred of "common sense"

I think the main problem with solar is the diffuse nature of the energy.

Eer would solve that.


(Hint: solar power isn't being held back because there's no good way to store

No? The most powerful energy source in the solar system, and we heat our water
with it?

That same energy stored with eer could power our EV's.


In short, this whole "EER" nonsense is IRRELEVANT to the question of how
rapidly solar power sources could be

Without a doubt, you are wrong.

Only that we store energy so that we can USE it for what we need.

Electric vehicles being the prime example.

No it wouldn't. Or am I misunderstanding EER? I thought it was just an
amazing capacitor and distributed energy gathering.

The problem with diffuse energy sources is not getting it all in once
place. The problem is getting your potentials big enough to be of
practical use in an efficient way.

You are one small step from proposing a perpetual motion machine.

Eer would collect diffuse energy, and store it in a nondiffuse manner.

Sorta like coal and oil.


I thought it was just an

It would be just a cap with high storage capability.

NOTHING to do with collection.


The problem with diffuse energy sources is not getting it all in once place.
Eer suggests using about 15 renewable sources. Some are diffuse, some not.

But, after they are collected, they are combined and STORED in a nondiffuse
manner.

I donno

True.

I am suggesting that we borrow, store and USE the energy from the solar system.

That is legal.

Only question is this - is the solar system perpetual?

Matters NOT to ME.

If it will run my EV, I do not care what they call it.

Such a device is here now and has been for a long time. It's called a
secondary cell and when two or more of them are connected together the
combination is called a "rechargeable battery".

The difference between a secondary cell and a capacitor is that the
secondary cell stores energy when the constituents of the battery are
changed chemically by electrons from the current being forced into the
cell. This happens, for example, when a lead-acid battery is being
charged and the lead sulphate plates and water change into a negative
electrode made of pure lead, a positive electrode made of lead dioxide
and an electrolyte made of sulfuric acid. There is no such mechanism
occurring in a capacitor, and all that happens there is that electrons
are piled onto the dielectric, one on top of another, and with each one
that is added the force that keeps the next one from being added to the
pile increases. So, since it can never "absorb" the number of
electrons a rechargeable battery can, it can never hope to achieve the
same energy storage capability as the battery.

Cutting to the chase, it would seem to be much more sensible, IMO, to
work on rechargeable battery systems with an eye toward vastly improving
their number of charge-discharge cycles than to be tilting at that
unattainable capacitive windmill.

How? EER has nothing to do with the energy being "diffuse" or
not, and doesn't do ANYTHING about the two major problems
with solar power - poor conversion efficiency, and the relatively
low concentration of available energy in watts/sq. meter (which
you would call "being diffuse"). Your silly "EER" notion is ONLY

No? The most powerful energy source in the solar system, and we heat our

What in the hell are you talking about? Either you can deliver
the energy to the grid, or you can't; EER doesn't change
this, as it is merely a way of taking energy OFF the grid and
storing it. Big deal.

Nonsense. Nothing you have ever said about EER makes

noted that EER doesn't make sense at all unless the storage
can be done at a very high potential - which is BAD if you're
trying to directly store "diffuse" energy. In short, such energy
STILL has to be collected and made "non-diffuse" through
means that EER (or any other storage method) has absolutely
nothing to do with. The case could be made, in fact, that
battery storage is FAR better suited to solar power than your
"EER" notion, even IF the latter worked, since "battery" -
actually, electrochemical cell - storage is practical at low
potentials.

Again, you simply prove that you don't know the first thing

And therefore, NOTHING to do with whether or not a

Loading the eer banks would, naturally, be more easy to do with non-diffuse

ways would be found.....I donno - close all gas stations in the country, and
make them solar collectors.

Eer is a way to capture, accumulate and save all this energy in a NONdiffuse

and doesn't do ANYTHING about the two major problems

Remember, the solar is combined with 15, or so, other renewables, some of which

In that case, your understanding of capacitive storage is even poorer

The energy stored in a capacitor is proportional to the capacitance

to get high energy density, you want to increase the voltage to as high
a level as possible (and hence the endless comments that your idea requires
an impossibly strong dielectric, something which at least you've finally
incorporated into your overly-long drivel). Getting significant energy
storage at a potential of just a single volt or so makes your task just
that much harder (or not, really, since what you're describing is already
impossible).


There are others....there are BIG companies.

Same with wind, etc.
