I am very very very glad to see these progresses there. i cant put my words in sentences about how i am happy about. Thank you so much ALjazeeraEnglish from uploading this video. You just made my day today. My lovely homeland. i am tooooooo proud to be from this great land.

These solar/dynamos charge only the dedicated internal hard wired battery but can easily be modified to charge AA, C, or D batteries. This would provide a reliable source of low voltage DC power day or night by sunlight or muscle power. With organized battery switching, a "sneaker net" grid would exist in many homes and villages in Afghanistan.

What is your basis for saying that?

I don't think that the market system is likely to promote the sort of long-term investment needed. Moreover, even with 100% efficiency, energy would still be needed for the machine to do its job: you need energy to accelerate a train (including turning it round bends) or whatever. However effiecient we make things, we are still going to need a huge amount of energy to continue as we are.

Wind power for me is old fashioned,it is time to move into the future.I am against coventional nuclear power but nuclear fusion is an option that applies modern technology that could propel humanity a little futher. We are now living in the age of 3 immense pillars of science: quantum physics, supercomputers and biotech.Forget wind!

The magnets are kinetic without releasing heat not matter which speed the are moving as there is no friction. The problem with superconducters is finding a way of producing them without having to use liquid nitrogen but having them become superconducters at room temperature which is a pretty large hurdle but nothing is impossible. Without friction there is 100% efficiency and all energy is retained, none lost. What I mean with 100% efficiency is superconduction.
