“Energy Tourism” appears to be in the future for Lake Worth
with it becoming an “Economic Powerhouse.”
Mayor Pam Triola has been instrumental in both “Solar power”
and “Gulfstream power.” She began with a solar farm she brought to Lake Worth
and is already delivering significant power to the electric grid through the Lake Worth power station… Ed Liberty, Electric Utility Director Lake Worth, brought her good ideas into the Power Utility and the two of them are now
reshaping the energy future of Lake Worth.
Both Ed and Mayor Pam are also involved in the groundbreaking
work to harness the electric power producing potential of Gulfstream Current.
This is a project where FAU received a Federal grant to develop the turbine technology,
and in the near future the goal will be running the power from the turbines to
the Lake Worth Power grid.
Even more impressive, because of the electricity and the money it can make for Lake Worth, and for the Energy Tourism that could result
from it, is the development of a “Cavitation Energy” prototype at the Lake
Worth Power Utility, funded by the owners of CAVITATION ENERGY SYSTEMS and to
be built by Florida Atlantic University.
I believe this will be the Alternative Energy project that Lake
Worth could actually get “rich” with, if a town could “get rich.”
Cavitation Energy is CLEAN ENERGY . Even it’s waste - Steam
byproduct, can be used to clean polluted water
if we wish ( water polluted by someone else). In other words, this is beyond
clean!
FAU tests already showed the first Cavitation Energy System prototype could
take a small generation of power and use this
to create Cavitation implosions in a “cavitation engine” that multiplies the source power to far beyond what science used to believe
possible.
Think of the “cavitation engine” as a modular “engine” using
something similar to diesel injectors that create the bubbles and shoot them
into impact chambers, where the cavitation bubbles ignite at 18,000 degrees
kelvin, and generate plasma/steam for a turbine to make electricity.
FAU has proven that with fresh water being shot into the
impact chambers, the bubble implosions create enough steam to run a turbine for
electrical production putting out 5
times the power put into it by solar, natural gas or Gulfstream Energy. With saltwater used instead, the implosion
reactions are far more violent, releasing closer to 18 times the power put
in…but the long term operation with salt needs a few more tweaks before it can
be utilized for a town….future grants are necessary, of course.
For now, the 5 times
increase is very dramatic all by itself and
Cavitation Energy Systems is
presently in talks with the town to get the
new
prototype
built at the
Lake Worth power plant where it could run a
large building in phase one, a city block in phase 2, and the whole downtown in
a phase 3. The system is perfectly modular, allowing very easing scaling of
additional power. 10 megawatts of Solar produced Electricity would become 50
megawatts of Electricity in our grid.
The future could mean a huge net EXPORT of electrical energy
for Lake Worth, generating untold millions of dollars per year to
Lake Worth and then “ENERGY TOURISM” - where companies and countries come
from all over the world to learn how they could use Cavitation Energy.
