Risky business: A study of physics entrepreneurship
|
|
From Physicstoday.org: Physicists who work at startup companies create and improve marketable technologies. But their goals are not always aligned with those of the funders who pay the bills.
...Our findings describe the value of physics startups to high-tech
innovation, startup funding structures, the role of academic technology
transfer programs, and regional differences among startup clusters. In
addition, we have identified some factors that may be indicators of
success or failure; some mistakes to watch out for are summarized in the
box on page 44...

New Energy Systems Trust (NEST) Website Launched
|
|
 From PESWiki.com: Take a look over at www.EnergyNEST.org
where we've launched our new website, whose slogan is "Networking to
bring the best exotic free energy technologies to market." Two
additional free energy projects announced. Join in to help bring these
and many others forward to empower all Earthlings. (PESN; May 11, 2012)
...
The NEST mission statement reads: The New Energy Systems Trust is an association for matching up the best
exotic free energy technologies, business professional services,
financing, licensees, and customers (which includes everyone). We are
preemptively setting up a network to help facilitate the rapid emergence
into the marketplace of breakthrough, affordable, clean energy
technologies. The emergence of these devices can empower the individual,
remove our dependence on oil and other polluting energy sources and
corrupt political systems, create jobs, and inspire hope for a peaceful,
sustainable future in which we can thrive in harmony with the earth.
Note: [Vlad]: Another classic example of "putting the horse before the cart". Sterling Allan continues to "count one's chickens before they are hatched", and sell "futures" on them whenever possible. What does it take to realize that proper scientific validation is the "sine qua non " for breakthrough energy technologies (a.k.a exotic free energy) to emerge and be widely accepted (marketable) to make a difference? I proposed the Extreme Science Foundation (XSF) years ago to the NEC (also led by Allan) but to no avail, since it was designed to protect the public against false claims (fraudulent or not) but not to make money out of inventors' intelligence, ingenuity, perseverance and hard work.

$5 million for Missouri University Cold Fusion research
|
|
Billionaire helps fund MU energy research
Sidney Kimmel, founder and chairman of The Jones Group — which includes
brands such as Anne Klein, Nine West and Gloria Vanderbilt — donated the
money through his charitable foundation...
The money will be used to create the Sidney Kimmel Institute for Nuclear Renaissance, SKINR, which will involve researchers from the Missouri University Research Reactor and physics, engineering and chemistry departments.
Mostly, MU scientists will be trying to figure out why excess heat has been observed when hydrogen or deuterium interacts with materials such as palladium, nickel or platinum under extreme conditions. Researchers don’t know how the heat is created, nor can they duplicate the results on a consistent basis.

A Manhattan Project for Energy?
|
|
Can new energy research save the world? The economy? Supporters say, “Yes, invest now.” Budget-cutters say, “Forget it.”
Congress tried and failed to put a price on carbon, to unleash market
forces to find an alternative to cheap and dirty fossil fuels. With that
chance gone for now, advocates are saying: O.K. then, let’s invest
directly, public money, big-time, in research to find breakthrough,
game-changing clean energy — on a “Manhattan project” scale.
Note: I gave you my opinion long time ago: be smart and take advantage of the amazing research already out there and, for the "biggest bang for the buck", look at my proposed Xtreme Science Foundation (XSF) and XS-NRG prize concepts outlined on this site (see Sp. Announcements box at the top of this page). ~Vlad

By Susan Hockfield/ Thursday, September 11, 2008; Page A17 /The Washington Post
Almost 70 years ago, as Germany invaded France, President Franklin D. Roosevelt received an urgent visit from Vannevar Bush, then chairman of the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics and formerly vice president and dean of engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Bush's message was simple: For America to win the war that was to come, it had no choice but to make aggressive, focused investments in basic science. The case was so compelling that Roosevelt approved it in 10 minutes. From radar to the Manhattan Project, the innovations that decision unleashed produced the military tools that won the war.

All Charged Up -Battery power plays worth exploring

http://www.investorideas.com/gi/
By Paulo Nery
Batteries are becoming increasingly important to our lives. Not only to sustain our rapidly expanding wireless technology requirements, but also to support our need to travel about. With hybrids, plug in hybrids and fully electric vehicles beginning to provide us with more cost effective transport, we’re bound to depend more and more on batteries. And at a larger scale, as we integrate more renewable sources of energy into our electricity grid, we’ll need to manage supplies with more uncertainty. So, there is likely to be an increased need for energy storage solutions to help temper the ups and downs of power supply irregularity.

International experts foresee collapse of U.S. economy
|
|
And you thought that I had a gloomy outlook on the economy. Now the bad news pops up everywhere.
Harry Koza in the Globe and Mail quotes Bernard Connelly, the
global strategist at Banque AIG in London, who claims that the
likelihood of a Great Depression is growing by the day.
Martin Wolf, celebrated columnist of the U.K.-based Financial
Times, cites Dr. Nouriel Roubini of the New York University's Stern
School of Business, who, in 12 steps, outlines how the losses of the
American financial system will grow to more than $1 trillion - that's
one million times $1 million. That amount is equal to all the assets of
all American banks.

As green power investments rise, a fear they are being misguided
|
|
By James Kanter/ Published: February 28, 2008
International Herald Tribune -
France
PARIS:
Long considered marginal and even quixotic, energy from sources like
the wind, sun and plants is turning into one of the world's most highly
valued industries. And while power generated by "green" sources remains
tiny compared with fossil fuels, the sector has begun to attract the
attention of big-league investors seeking to profit from a new wave of
growth in alternative energy.

Venture capitalist Khosla joins in effort to save the planet
|
|
MENLO PARK, Calif. — There's little about the
building where Vinod Khosla runs his tiny venture-capital firm to
suggest he's at the forefront of a global effort to revolutionize how
the world gets energy.
Small signs point discreetly to Khosla Ventures
and other tenants at the low-slung building tucked inside a quiet
Silicon Valley office park. One of the USA's richest men, Khosla is
sitting in a sparsely furnished conference room in a blue pullover and
blue slacks. He sips tea as he describes how his children view his
rising passion for renewable energy.
