Well, if I were king, i'd rather establish this system for one group, and make another Group that is a Theocracy for God. But pretty much.

Some people wouldn't take too kindly to being forced to follow a king, so if I were a king, it be a king of people God sends to me to rule in righteousness.

Personally though I'd rather be a "Rook" and a lead man for God's Theocracy. Letting God rule through me.

If I had to give it a name, i'd call it the "Truth Rally" and rally together the people in the truth of God's word.

So years ago, I came up with a concept for a Generator powered by plasma. Superheated Gases.Preferably gases that could easily be made in a Lab, and also produce enough energy so that in volume it would be enough to power the world.
Is this possible? The way I imagine it is the quality might be lacking, but in volume it would be made up for.We could manufacture these into Plasma Cells, and use those cells to power the generator.


The problem is that your proposal is not tapping into an unused source of power. In any case other than that, you end up putting more power into producing the solution than what comes out. For example, one guy proposed creating small cyclones and spinning the dissolved minerals out of sea water. One of the things spun out of the water was gold. So his (not practical) proposal was tapping into an unused source of value.

Your plasma gasses, if they could be stored in some way, will require more energy in, than out.

One practical proposal is to outfit the Sahara Desert with electrical solar panels and power the continent. As a side effect this might increase the updrafts and cause more rain in the desert and make it more habitable as well.
Morocco turns the Sahara desert into a solar energy oasis

Again, the advantage is tapping into unused energy that currently is wasted.

So, Lava is not an unused source? I think you missed quite a few posts there.

Thanks for the input though.

I was responding only to the OP as quoted.

But regarding your mention of lava, it is not a dependable source of heat
except where general geothermal heat is dependably available near the surface.

Five major geothermal power plants exist in Iceland, which produce approximately 26.2% (2010)[2] of the nation's electricity. In addition, geothermal heating meets the heating and hot water requirements of approximately 87% of all buildings in Iceland. Apart from geothermal energy, 73.8% of the nation’s electricity is generated by hydro power,[2] and 0.1% from fossil fuels.[3] Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from geothermal energy has impacted the health of Icelanders.[4]

Yeah, I just meant that I had already found a possible solution with the help of @Tone

Sorry for any misunderstanding.

I know about Solar Power, but even that isn't solving all of the world's energy, and it's so expensive that not everyone can afford to put a solar panel on their house. I'm offering a secondary solution, and asking people if it is possible.
something like this:

"They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever." - Rev 22:5

Yeah, but we don't know when Jesus will return. So our, Tone and My, plan is only until he returns, and hopefully afterward.

We plan to use this method.

Well, at least using the base concepts.

It's a power hungry process that doesn't tap into unused sources.
So it takes more energy to create than what comes back out.

Volume. Or rather, instead we can devise a way to capture star energy from space. Thanks for everything, but I know there is a better way, just not exactly sure how to implement it.

You mean that? Hey, it is possible! So it be like, instead of superheating, super cooling.

Now if I only had a lab, and could do it.

Super cooling does not create plasma, and sucks a lot of energy, more than what comes out.

The power of the sun you are referring to is Fusion, at very high temperatures.

There are no good containers for fusion...has been the problem so far.

It takes high heat and some kind of container.
That's why stars are in space.....its a suitable container.
On earth fusion containers tend to melt.

Yes. We can build a solar collector around an entire sun and capture all the radiation. Its hard to keep it in a stable orbit though. As a unit, a globe shell does not orbit in a stable way.

Then we just have to recreate the "Container" that is space. You just gave me an idea!

What are the known elements that make space the best container!? Let me know!

What does a doctor use to keep bones in place? Stints! I think...anyway that is also a good Idea! Building stabilizers into it should work right? Think about the Skyscrapers and how they are stablized, use some of that logic!

Yup. That is how the story goes all right. You are on the right logic track.

Seriously, if "one child birth control" policy is enforced around the world, world population would be reduced to highly sustainable levels in 100 years.

Highly sustainable means, everyone can live at least a middle class quality of life sustainably (without depleting natural resources).
It wouldn't need to be enforced around the world. Only in trouble areas.
