The Entire State & City Bureaucracy been co-opted by Bloomberg & his Cronies to try to oust 'OWS'. You can bet that there's a Fed. Task Force / 'OccupyCom.' there to try to stymie 'OWS' & The 99% Movement & it's NO accident that as the weather turns colder, Buttberg & Co. want to make oWs' life extra hard. The 1% Hate 'OWS' & will do everything that THEY can to close it down.
Thus, I post the following :
1) @ 'OWS' Tech-Heads : Maybe Wiring Up Groups Of 12v Car -Batteries into Battery Banks may be an idea + http://www.pedalpowergenerator.com/ etc.
2) 'OWS' will need to call up many more peddle powered generating rigs. Thus : http://www.windstreampower.com/Human_Power_Generator.php and http://tinyurl.com/yep4m7n .
3) Also a Very Interesting Link re. 'Peddle Power in NY': http://inhabitat.com/pedal-powered-generators-to-light-up-times-square-on-new-years-eve/ ! Very 'Illuminating' Link ...
4) Further, re. Electricity Powered "BY NATURAL (x)", please see : http://katstoolbox.com/feedyourhealth/2011/09/bicycle-powered-concert-wtg-new-york/ ! A Rather 'Resounding' Link Pertaining to Past & Present Events in NYC!
5) For An Insight Into The Kind Of 'Off The Shelve' Unit That is Available : http://www.theselfsufficiencyshop.co.uk/181-gazelle-pedal-powered-generator.html .
Finally, there are NO Shortages of Willing Volunteers who'd happily devote time & effort so as to generate electricity for OWS + It's gr8 for keeping WARM & Staying Fit ! You Can't Get a more Virtuous Circle ! Indeed, a chat stream poster ('Timalmighty') has suggested a "I Peddled 99 miles (or 'kliks'!) For The 99%" pin/badge for those who wish to do so & would like their effort recognised.
Revolujah !!!
Resistence Is Fertile !!
SOLIDARITY from the UK !
Great ideas.
And those might be best.
Brainstorming a bit, not saying these might work, but:
Fuel cells might help, too somehow, like run off hydrogen stored in metal hydrides which is safer than gasoline? "TMI's 1 kW fuel cell module for 3rd world deployment runs on wide range of fuels" http://pesn.com/2010/02/05/9501609_TMI_1kW_Fuel_Cell_Module/
One example of safer hydrogen storage: http://www.safehydrogen.com/about.html
Others: http://www.horizonfuelcell.com/hydrogen_solutions.htm
Maybe integrated into carts? http://www.edar.org/
Maybe wireless power could be beamed in from nearby offices? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_energy_transfer
Anyway, why not get the best minds at various universities solving these problems for OWS?
Feed everyone beans. Have everyone who needs to pass gas do it in a communal tent. People who are cold can go in there to warm up. Everyone else will work on a bean farm to provide this fuel.
there you have it, a sustainable and green solution for an indefinite occupation!
