Practical Guige to Free Energy Devices

For a decade, Musk’s startup called “The Kitchen” has served real, local food to millions of city residents,
while getting kids interested in real food through 300 Learning Gardens across the country. Square Roots will
naturally build on this success.
“Leveraging proven technologies like Freight Farms and ZipGrow, Square Roots’ vertical farms are literally
built inside shipping containers. They essentially enable three-dimensional growing - giving farmers the
annual yield equivalent of two acres of outdoor farmland inside a climate-controlled module with a footprint of
barely 320 sq. ft. These systems also use 80% less water than outdoor farms. That’s the potential for a lot of
real food grown in a very small space using very few resources. Best of all: vertical farms can be installed in
the middle of cities. Our urban campuses will have anywhere from 10 to 100 farms. Using this platform,
Square Roots entrepreneurs can avoid almost all the transport-impact of the industrial food system - by
growing real food, at scale, right next to people who want to eat it”.
Their first campus will debut in Brooklyn, New York this autumn, and they admittedly “have a lot to prove” in
the beginning stage. But all indications point to a huge demand for real food in urban areas, and plenty of
young entrepreneurs ready to merge their business drive with sustainable solutions for the planet.
Toribio Bellocq’s Water Pump.
A serious problem for farmers and individuals is the cost of pumping water up from a borehole or well. While
the combined Lever / Pendulum system of Veljko Milkovic described in Chapter 4 can reduce the amount of
effort required by a substantial margin, there are other methods which could be useful.
It was originally thought that water could not readily be pumped to a greater height than 32 feet or so unless
the pump was located at the bottom of the pipe. Toribio Bellocq demonstrated in 1924 that this is actually
not the case and that water can be pumped to any height using a pump mounted at the top of a vertical pipe.
He showed a working system to the Patent Office where an 80-foot vertical pipe was used to demonstrate
the principle and having proved the point, he was granted US Patents 1,730,336, and 1,730,337, and later,
US Patent 1,941,593 in which he describes chamber devices which can enhance the sonic wave operation.
Toribio’s system is very straightforward. He places a one-way ball valve at the bottom of the vertical pipe
(item V in the diagram below). A crank rod is then used to vibrate piston C in its pumping cylinder. The
pumping cylinder has no valves and the piston stroke is very short. Both the pipe and the pump cylinder are
filled with water before the operation is begun.
The rapid movement of the piston creates a pressure wave in the water in the pipe. The pressure wave
causes the water pressure inside the pipe to rise and fall rapidly. This altering water pressure at the one-way
valve at the bottom of the pipe, causes water to be drawn into the pipe when the pressure is low and the
valve prevents the water flowing out again when the pressure rises.
This repeating action causes water to be pumped up the vertical pipe and out through an adjustable valve R.
When the pumping action is timed correctly, there is an almost continuous flow of water from the pipe.
Toribio quotes an example in his patent, where the vertical pipe has an internal diameter of one inch, placed
in a well where the water is twenty metres below the ground level. The valve opening is 30 mm and the
sealing ball of the valve has a diameter of about 38 mm and contained in an ordinary cage which allows
some 20 mm of vertical movement of the valve.
