Free energy

We don't need to find new sources of energy, what we need to make is new devices that use no energy. IBM said that in 5 years we will have cell phones with extremely small processors and also low energy consumption material which will not need charging but will instead be charged by motion in the same way wrist watches are.

Wrist watches can use no energy. But we had those 500 years ago with scientific sundials(just a piece of wood and string) that can tell direction, time, day of month, wind direction, and do the same at night time also.

We don't need cars and roads and gasolene if we use flying vehicle like hang gliders and paragliders. They use wind power just like birds do and even if you did have a motor you wouldn't need a big one.

Do we need TV? Do we need computers? Do we need video games? Do we need washing machines? Do we need dryers? Can we heat water on a wood stove, or with the sun? Do we need AC? Do we need phone lines? Do we even need wires in our house at all?

Things that use no electricity:
Bucket/water/plunger/clothes/soap
wind up light
oil lamp
clothes line
solar heating
wood stove
Good insulation
Winding watch
Sundial
Solar powered flashlight
Solar powered power source for cell phone
books
traveling by hiking, bike, paraglider, sail boat,
making stuff or gardening or talking for entertainment.
Low power laptops powered by solar panels for internet phone and TV/movies/games
Wind powered turbine on kite for lights

The only free energy I know of so far or at least cheap energy is lasers. They have spontaneaous emission and can provide more energy than anything else.

They're also doing fusion tests this year at NIF.

But for us regular joe's we have to use wood for heat and oil lamps for light. Or wind up flashlights.

Solar panels can keep ultra-capacitors topped off for use in the house during the day but they may lose lots of energy throughout the night. This can run lights easily.
