COMMENTARY

9th July 2011 		P.O. Box 620263, Las Vegas, Nevada 89122, United States of America, 702-496-1990, http://newhorizonsglobalconcepts.com , email nhgc@usa.com
Magnetic Field Sustainable Energy
Sustainable energy can be well understood if we attempt to understand it is a type of energy source that has been with us from the beginning of time. Magneto-motive energy has been with us from the dawn of time. Imagination the bewilderment of Magnes. ( He was an elderly shepherd) when he discovered that the iron tip of his staff became stuck to a large black rock. Living in the area of Northern Greece called Magnesia, this invisible power motivated people to believe in magical properties and mystical powers of the black rock. As civilization moved forward into the future, Hans Christian Oersted (1777-1851 Danish) demonstrated how magnetism was related to electricity.
Past Sources of Reliable Sustainable Energy

The past list of sources of sustainable energy are solar energy, wind energy, geothermal and nuclear energy. The energy source like solar are abundant although the sun does not shine 24 hours a day, requiring the use of storage batteries It is the only natural resources which has no constraints in terms of availability, cost and ease of use. (You must keep the solar panels clean)
Wind energy and tidal power are also the types of sustainable energy because the wind and tidal pressure does not seem to seize or end. However, the wind pressure is limited to the mountain regions so as the tidal power is limited to coastal regions. Wind power is an environment friendly way of generating electricity. Sustainable energy sources are also known as green energy and alternative source of energy because of its environment attitude.
Nuclear energy is also considered a sustainable energy sources because 90% of uranium can be used again to perform nuclear fission again and again.  Therefore all those energy sources which can be used again and again without the fear of being diminished are parts of sustainable energy. Other important criteria of sustainable energy are its fuel efficacy.  Nuclear energy is a really efficient source of sustainable energy. However you need to understand the dangers of accidents, the damage to the environment that lasts for decades, rod storage & transport.
Geothermal requires major install process and there is no guaranty that an earthquake could damage the system and cost you thousands more in repairs. Magnetic-electromagnetic fields are self sustaining in the generator design.
The Need for Efficient Sustainable Energy

Until the beginning of nineteenth century the major energy sources were wood and timber. However later it was replaced with other natural resources like oil, gas and coal. The use of wood as an energy sources is a scarce resource it can not meet the energy requirement for a large population. Moreover the concern for environment due the devastation of forests has increased the risk of global warming hence we need to grow more and more trees now. Fossil fuels like gas and oil are also getting scarce and the production of these resources is limited to the specific countries. The owners of the fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas also control their prices. Thus the need of the time was to search and look for the abundant natural resources which never seem to end. Hence the need for an efficient sustainable energy supply that can be used anywhere.

Energy Conservation

Energy conservation would become a thing of the past. The 21st Century promises to deliver electric cars, trucks, trains and even aircraft. Its wonderful what can be accomplished with portable power, however battery power is toxic too. Non-recycled batteries containing lead and sulfuric acid are contaminating landfills. Portable power products require batteries! Do they really? As the size and scope of the magnetic reactor reaches a ubiquitous point, batteries may well become an emergency-only resource. Using magnetic fields we can product all the power we could ever use. This would also enable us to heat and cool all of our streets, roads, highways, turnpikes, freeways, driveways, walkways, bridges and autobahn basically any man made surface could be heated and or cooled as needed for weather conditions. This would eliminate the need to resurface or to replace as often, saving local and national governments billions of dollars.

This process would also eliminate areas where ice and black ice forms, keeping everything we walk or drive on heated to 90 degrees fahrenheit during the winter free all the surfaces from snow buildup. Thus winter weather accidents could be cut down by 87% making it safer for all of us. During the summer all surfaces could be cooled to 80 degrees fahrenheit thus prolonging the surface life span. Concrete could be used at more locations around the world instead of oil based asphalt that also adds to the world warming.


Fossil Fuel Elimination

The elimination of using fossil fuels in our vehicles will give us unlimited use without the pollutants being dumped into our atmosphere. The elimination of gas, oil, natural gas, methane gas,and the transporting and underground piping, the gas leaks, explosions and fires that has cost thousands of lives over the past years would also be eliminated. Look back over the years and see how many ruptures in major gas lines, leaks inside homes and business along with truck/ship transport accidents that has already cost millions of dollars in damage and thousand of deaths. Old dependance on oil and the internal combustion engine have tainted our social perspective; as oil runs out conflicts will erupt around the world.

The Elimination of the Power Grid

Explore different locations around the world and see how many times they have lost power and how long they were without it, either by weather or man made power loss. Our countries, cities, towns, community, neighborhoods and homes & businesses would never need to worry about power loss for the above reasons.





How would we survive a long term power failure in respect to our needs, reports of the possibility this year that a solar storms coming in 2012 will cripple electric power, GPS equipment and communications systems for months, creating an electronic apocalypse not dreamt of since the days before Y2k hysteria gripped the world. The loss of power would make finding food dang near impossible we are too dependent on fast food stores and food brought via available stores.
How will we handle our children when they are hungry, board, sick or an accident that requires medical attention. Hospitals and emergency rooms have backup generators for power but even they are designed to fail thus the time span on them. What will happen then, all stores closed, all emergency rooms closed, all hospitals closed, all schools closed, majority of government offices will also be closed!
Will law enforcement or the military be able to protect us or will they be at home protecting their own families?

We invite you to our web site http://newhorizonsglobalconcepts.com we request your help and support to insure the future of our World, our Country, our States, Counties, Cities and children.
