Have you ever been to the flight line of a military base? It is very noisy. The hum of the jet engines piloted by officers wearing wings of lead. It is serious business being in the Air Force and it costs a lot of taxpayers dollars to run those jet engines, ground equipment and thinking of the flightline lighting costs. All this creates vibrational energy, which can be collected. Ask any Air Force Human Resource Commander, the Air Force is a 24-hour endeavor and the action never stops. There are operations going all the time all the way around the world, you pick the time zone. I propose we collect this vibrational energy using hundreds of collectors along the flightlines of our military bases. By placing large 4 x 8’ sandwich sheets with a taunt film on the vibrational side and small copper lined tubes, hundreds of them running perpendicular to the sheets, with magnets inside bouncing back and forth. These magnets will charge a capacitor and be hooked up to an LED lighting system using fiber optics or reflectors, each one hooked up to a .2 to .5 watt light. With hundreds of thousands of lights hooked up in a composite format it will light up the ramp and tarmac and since the lights can shine down on the taxiways and runways in the direction of traffic it would be like daylight without the light pollution and associated glare. Currently this technology is being used in those little flashlights you see advertised on television that you shake and they light, but you never need batteries. This idea of lighting up the ramp, taxiways and runways is using that technology on a larger scale with miniaturized parts making up the guts between the sandwich sheets. Let there be light, thru vibrational energy and there was. Think on it. "Lance Winslow" - Online Think Tank forum board.
