Hello Tom,

As we approach our country’s Independence Day, let us imagine what our future will look like with Energy Independence from fossil fuels. It is happening slowly and this month’s FE eNews helps inform our readers about the real progress that is being made. This week I am applying for a TED talk presentation that will center around future energy.

Our Story #1 shows how helium may still be a winner for cutting 90% of fossil fuel usage for air transport. Ten Airlanders, leased by a Spanish airline company called Air Nostrum, will show the world that a 100-seat helium airship can be attractive and economically driven. Creating 1800 jobs, the parent company Hybrid Air Vehicles HAV (hybridairvehicles.com) will be using Airlanders on domestic routes in the UK as well, with the goal of going all-electric as well.

Story #2 offers a solution to the lithium-ion battery that has been beleagured with many unsolved issues, including price, safety, and source stability. A solid-state sodium-sulfur battery developed by the University of Houston Researchers Develop Sodium Glassy Electrolytes Capable of Supporting Long-Duration Grid-scale Energy Storage - University of Houston (uh.edu) and entering a pilot program of production by Solid Power Solid Power Announces Installation of EV Cell Pilot Line (globenewswire.com), is an exciting development for electric vehicles.

Story #3 is a NASA Tech Briefs endorsement of pulsed electrotherapy for tendon healing but is starting in the same place where Drs. Becker, Bassett, and Pilla started in the 1970s: implant the electrodes just to prove that such microcurrent electrostimulation speeds healing in the Body Electric (name of Becker’s best-selling book). This very similar to the “Electric Knee Implants Help Relieve Osteoarthritis Pain” invention that we just reported in the May, 2022 issue of FE eNews. In this case, it is the National University of Ireland that also added a power source of body movement for its microelectronic piezoelectric device. Read the full study in Advanced Materials here. Next time, our Integrity Research Institute predicts that a spinoff invention will “miraculously” discover that by Faraday’s Law, pulsed magnetic fields can also create endogenous electric impulses in deep tissue without the invasive surgery, as history repeats itself. If you want the future of electromedicine, visit our www.BioenergyDevice.org and try one of our EM Pulser 78 models for 30 days under a money back guarantee. Ninety nine percent of our clients find it helps speed pain reduction and healing, as Dr. Glen Gordon found, ironically, from a NASA PEMF Study decades ago. You can also now get the Audio Version of our Bestselling: Bioelectromagnetic Healing, A Rationale for Its Use. Available on Audible or iTunes

Story #4 is what many of us have been impatiently waiting for: a solution to the growing plastic waste globally. Here is another 90% savings for you as this reaction converts 90% of plastic to jet fuel. Using a feed source of polyethylene, commonly found in milk jugs, bottles, and plastic furniture, researchers at Washington State University, New technology converts waste plastics to jet fuel in an hour – WSU Insider under the direction of Professor Hongfei Lin, heat it in a moderate 220 degrees C with a special ruthenium catalyst to form the hydrocarbon fuel, as reported in Chem Catalysis Deconstruction of high-density polyethylene into liquid hydrocarbon fuels and lubricants by hydrogenolysis over Ru catalyst: Chem Catalysis (cell.com).

Story #5 brings us up to date on another much anticipated future air travel, the supersonic jet. Besides NASA’s research with the X-59, we find that another company called Boom has an Overture craft Boom - Overture (boomsupersonic.com) ready for test flights.

Sincerely,

Tom Valone, PhD
