Preproposal To fight Climate Change John N. Hait, in...@drhait.info • What hypothesis do you propose and why do you propose it? 24/7 Solar Energy Powered Geothermal Storage and Electric Generation. Also Higher efficiency wind And Day/Night Temperature Difference Electric Generation Wave Power (if we get enough money to build by a beach.) Higher Efficiency Storage of Solar Energy for generation of electricity both for local utilities and EV recharging and sales oasis. The planet desperately needs practical help that can be quickly implemented worldwide to replace fossil fuels. 24/7 Solar can be installed easily in Africa, America, Mexico and any other place that needs a suitable replacement for greenhouse gas producing technologies. • Briefly, how will you test your hypothesis? Construct an example non-commercial sized 24/7 Solar storage and electric generation facility. See http://advanced-how-to.info/ebooks/ '24/7 Solar” ebook for technology and “Executive Summary” of Business Plan for exponential worldwide growth method to be initiated only. • Which field of science or group of scientists does your proposal challenge? Popular commercial use of renewable energy, although the science is well known, only the configurations are new. Common commercial photovoltaic methods are only 15% efficient, and even less using expensive batteries, and those 3-bladed windmills allow 95% of the wind's energy to blow between the blades. It can't be too difficult for solar powered geothermal to beat that! And initiate manufacturing from our first example. Dr. John N. Hait 50 years experience both as a scientist, home builder, contractor and commercially licensed electronic engineer. I have 20 US Patents (many of which have gone worldwide,) and 20 on the way. Designed and directed the building of the world's first PAHS earth shelter In Missoula, Montana (average annual air temperature = 43.5° F.) This home maintains a comfortable internal temperature year-round, without a furnace, air conditioner, over-sized windows or use of any commercial outside energy. With an adjustable internal temperature, last measured at 74° F. It's just always nice. (See my articles in Mother Earth News and Popular Science.) It works without machinery, but uses properly laid out natural heat flow to store Solar Energy by cooling the home in the summer for heating the home in winter. It's an expansion of the work published by the University of Minnesota. Home was built in 1980. Solar heat captured from within the home heats the earth around the home measured 10 feet behind the building at 70° F. My first book (now on Amazon,) “Passive Annual Heat Storage, Improving the Design of Earth Shelters,” 1983 sold in 25 countries, and PAHS homes have been built around the world. I'm currently handicapped and retired, but I can still write, teach, and inspect locations under construction. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Digest for cooperat...@googlegroups.com - 1 update in 1 topic From: cooperat...@googlegroups.com Date: Wed, March 30, 2016 2:10 am To: Digest recipients <cooperat...@googlegroups.com> cooperat...@googlegroups.com Google Groups Topic digest View all topics APPLICATIONS FOR FUNDING OPEN - 1 Update APPLICATIONS FOR FUNDING OPEN Charles Fraser <cdm...@gmail.com>: Mar 29 07:59PM +0100 Dear friends of The *Foundation For Common Good* I am delighted to let you know that Professor Gerald Pollack, professor of bio-engineering at The University of Washington [ http://faculty.washington.edu/ghp/ <http://t.yesware.com/tt/54eacdd63cdf08e2f4e6c29383f8518f5036af71/f9990b6124495e87293c88e07c948ea8/ad102e20a5a6937c5bbbe821f9617fbd/faculty.washington.edu/ghp/>], has successfully financed *The Institute for Venture Science* <http://t.yesware.com/tt/54eacdd63cdf08e2f4e6c29383f8518f5036af71/f9990b6124495e87293c88e07c948ea8/d73015df42cc9b91e985f0ebb503156d/www.theinstituteforventurescience.net/> (IVS) that he created and is the executive director of. $1bn per year is the estimated cashflow of the IVS for the first 10 years and those funds are dedicated to funding scientific research to: [image: Inline images 1] Promising Ideas that Challenge Conventional Thinking: The Institute for Venture Science (IVS) will fund high-risk, non-traditional scientific inquiries that may produce fundamental breakthroughs. We identify the most promising challenges to prevailing paradigms. We then simultaneously fund multiple research groups worldwide for each selected challenge. I have been working to help Professor Pollack to get the IVS going (however unsuccessfully) yet he has very kindly offered me a window to submit pre-proposals for funding before they open to the general public (between now and the 20th of April). I have plans to work with some of you on this and will be contacting you directly but otherwise please follow the instructions below and send to me your pre-proposals and I will include them with the pre-proposals I have also developed in this special opportunity we have to be among the first selected for funding. Preproposal Pre-proposal Instructions Those interested in submitting a proposal to the IVS must first submit a pre-proposal. Pre-proposals should be no more than two pages long, plus title page. They must follow the format below, each section beginning with the indicated heading. Otherwise, they will be returned without review. Please tell us the following, using language understandable to non-experts: • What hypothesis do you propose and why do you propose it? • Why is your proposal of earth-shaking significance? • Briefly, how will you test your hypothesis? • Which field of science or group of scientists does your proposal challenge? A title page should include your name, contact information, and pre-proposal title. Be sure to append your resume or CV when you submit. A few suggestions for preparation: 1. Scope. We are seeking proposals that have the capacity to turn conventional thinking upside down. Proposals with modest goals will not receive favorable evaluation. Nor will proposals with weak rationale. We understand that a two-page proposal cannot include comprehensive supporting arguments. (These will be requested later at the full proposal stage.) 2. Clarity. Reviewers of your pre-proposal may include people outside your field. Acronyms, abbreviations, jargon and the like not defined in the document should not be used. It goes without saying that unclear pre-proposals will not be favorably reviewed. To reach the next stage, you will need to use clear writing to convince reviewers that you have a potentially powerful idea that could reshape scientific thinking. 3. Technology. We do not support technology development, although we understand that new technologies may arise from your research. Successful applications will generally propose testable hypotheses on fundamental scientific concepts rather than on development of technology. 4. Feedback. Expect brief comments on your pre-proposal. Regrettably, we have no capacity to respond to questions about the content of these brief reviews. 5. Success. Successful applicants will be encouraged to submit full proposals in which detailed arguments can be presented. 6. Failure. Unsuccessful applicants are discouraged from submitting full proposals. In future rounds, however, they may submit new pre-proposals without prejudice. Those who consider the negative response unjust are nevertheless free to submit full proposals, although they should consider whether the exercise is worth the effort. A brief response to the pre-proposal critique, one page or less, may accompany the full proposal submission.
