9/8/08   I AM FOCUSSING THIS GUIDE TO THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF OUR SALT WATER-THAT IS OCEAN WATER, AS OUR MOST IMPORTANT SOURCE OF FUTURE ENERGY.(tbc)  Atticus Alberts                        9/11/08  Our earth is encircled by a continuous interconnected system of waters that we call ocean. It is generally accepted that this global ocean is divided into these five (5) major bodies. I shall list them by name, in order of size. The largest being the "Pacific Ocean". The 2nd largest is the "Atlantic Ocean". The "Indian Ocean" comes in at number 3. Number 4 in size is the "Southern Ocean", & the smallest & shallowest is number 5, the "Arctic Ocean". (tbc)     Atticus Alberts                                        9/15/08  I was laying on my couch - sleeping. The only energy my body was giving off was just enough to sustain life. I later awoke. I sat up, grabbed the remote & surfed the TV channels for awhile. Next, I stood up & walked into the kitchen. I then opened the refrigerator door & checked to see if I had missed anything when I looked earlier, before my nap. I was now using more energy in performing all of the above activities. I next opened the kitchen door & walked out on the porch to get some fresh air. My cat - Angelina, a house pet, had snuck out the door behind me. She proceeded to stroll down the walkway, so I followed her. I was now using even more energy. Angelina soon spotted a bird in flight, landing on the lawn, & low & behold, against her better judgement, she darted after it. I ran after her as I continued to yell her name. I was then using my maximum energy. I'm sure you'll agree it was much easier for me back when I was sleeping on the couch. What this demonstrates though, is that our bodies use an amount of energy as it needs to perform what we command of it. However, note that the same body that is using that energy, is also the sole source providing it. If you can adopt this concept, I will later illustrate how to adapt it. (tbc) Atticus Alberts                                                   9/21/08    I am now going to mention a few components that are provided to us from our oceans, whether we are currently putting them to their highest & best use, or not. Let's start with the mega tons of algae, which includes seaweed. Do you think we might be able to harvest, compact & compress it? We would then have an end result of allgae lumps, which we might burn for energy instead of mining coal...  Next, what about all of that saline that infiltrates our ocean water? The average salt content in our ocean water is 3.5%. I am inclined to believe that there are many more significant uses for all of that salt besides tantalizing our taste buds & melting ice off of our highways & sidewalks. You would'nt suppose that it would be a good idea to have some of our great scientists research & explore just how ocean salt might be converted into energy now would you?  Now we certainly cannot ignore the oceans gift of sand. While we do enjoy our sandy beaches & our children do love to play in their sand boxes, we have not yet begun to explore all of its' energy possibilities. You're probably familar with one of our current uses in sandblasting, where we can clean metal & other surfaces with a jet blast of sand driven by compressed air or steam. Then there's all of those different kinds of coral. I surely believe its uses can go far beyond making jewelry.  As I indicated in an earlier guide, we need the best of our chemists, scientists, oceanographers & engineers to step forward. I am presenting only ideas. I haven't even yet mentioned one of the most promising characteristics of ocean energy. Maybe that's because I don't want you to think I'm a poet. What I am referring to is: "OCEAN MOTION". This is the topic of my next energy guide, #4, on ocean exploration as our new energy source. Until next time, Keep Thinking,  Atticus Alberts
