GSE: FAQ
|
 |
I've never heard of this technology, give
me a technical overview?
Over the last few decades
industry and commerce has discovered that energy can come from sources
other than traditional physical transformational methods such as
combustion, fission, or fusion. These physical transformational
methods are based upon a fuel model While
all energy results from state changes, the traditional methods represent
a small fraction of viable state changes. Wind, solar, and
hydro power are classed as ephemeral state change energy sources, in
that they are based upon temporal state changes, rather than physical
changes. Wind, solar, and hydro are based upon a
field model.
At GSE we see all state changes as energetic, and many as viable if
concentrated and directed. GSE methods are based upon a variation
or change model.
GSE pumps and
compressors, gain energy from the movement of significant animated
masses, (i.e. livestock, motor vehicles, trains, and grounded aircraft).
Contrary to popular misconceptions, GSE methods can be engineered to be
completely transparent to a targeted mass. That is to say, that if
the technology is engineered into the fundamental structure of a
structure, (i.e. road, bridge, or building), as opposed applied to a
post-production design, just as with field model methods, no additional
vehicle fuel, or livestock calories need be consumed by the method.
All of GSE's current methods are primarily based upon concentrating
and directing gravitational energy into various storable forms such as
physical pressure, or weight. The logical proof of gravity as a
viable source, is that none of GSE current products would work on the
International Space Station (ISS) or the moon.

We are looking for green
solutions for our road crews. How can GSE technologies help us?
GSE R and S series devices are as green as fresh grass.
Zero emissions: GSE pumps and compressors are made from
recycled rubber, and emit no green house gasses. Very low
approaching zero fuel consumption: GSE pumps,
compressors, and hydrostatics use no petrochemical, no electricity, no
sunlight, and no wind. In the case of roadway appliances, 2-4
inches of additional distance is added to the fuel consumption of
passing vehicles.
GSE R series, pumps and compressors, can assist
road crews by supplying compressed air, by eliminating the need
for fuel based fluid pumping, and increase both motorist and worker
safety by calming traffic flows. The R series are easily deployed,
durable, reliable, and acceptable to motorists.
Unlike traditional temporary speed bumps and speed humps, GSE R-series
roadway devices are more pliable, allowing higher vehicle speeds, less
noise, and very limited driver discomfort.

What are the advantages of
GSE systems over wind or solar powered solutions?
GSE R
series devices are base energy systems, in that they
are always available for traffic based applications. The traffic
base of GSE R series pumps and compressors makes them ideal for
applications where a lot of vehicle or heavy animal traffic flows are
available, or when such flows are coincident with energy requirements,
as in livestock watering, or electronic roadway signage.

We are looking for a reliable
dependable pumping system to water our cattle. What does GSE have
to offer?
GSE R series livestock systems can be
engineered for animals ranging from goats to elephants. GSE
systems are low maintenance, extremely durable, well tolerated by
livestock, and most importantly always available when the animals are
present. A GSE R-series livestock pump can easily be applied to
livestock watering or feeding, automatic flushing, or to provide
water for irrigation, or compressed air for gates, and tools.

Where does this technology fit
within a modern country like the US?

5-8 GSE SHP500, placed at key transition points, can replace a
6 x 6 200 Hp (100 KWh) above ground pressure booster
with normal suburban traffic, during normal driving hours. Each of
these 200 hp units that are replaced will be as if more than 50 typical
American homes were taken off the grid during the day.
When used
on freeway exits, 2-3 GSE SHP500 can replace the same 200 Hp pump, and
multiple units can be employed on each ramp. These equivalent
installations would dramatically reduce accidents, and save the local
government up to 1200 KWh of electrical generation cost each day.
This application is like many for GSE innovative fluid movement
methods. The municipal rational for the investment can combine
both fiscal and safety considerations, in that GSE units can be
configured to calm traffic as well as move fluids, or compress gases.
Another key aspect of GSE technologies is the symbiotic relationship
between activity and power generation. For example if GSE units
are employed on a suspension bridge, to compress air for power
generation, cooling, and air storage, the power generation is greatest
when activity levels peak. The added benefit of local power
generation, is key to disaster preparedness, and disaster
nullification,, (i.e. road lighting during a blackout).
