Aurora Australis aspires to aid the formation of a global charter.
That is, of assisting the people of the earth to become strong & united, that individuals increase their capacity to influence & determine issues critical to our survival & future well being. As witnessed by the growing acceptance in the human consciousness of the reality of climate change. We are at a defining moment in the history of this planet and the evolutionary journey of its inhabitants because in order to effectively lighten our “carbon footprint” on the earth we have to tread more carefully, gently & respectfully with each other along the way.
The real challenge of climate change is the change of climate required in human relations, that is, the coolness or warmth we extend to our fellow human beings. We recognize the fundamental importance of heritage, language and the cultural expression of all people in order to create a just, caring and enterprising society where creativity is nurtured & innovation rewarded.
The original role of technology from the earliest time of human development was to make our lives easier, free us from the drudgery of mere survival, so we can be more self sufficient & mutually supportive but more importantly so that we would have more time to contemplate, create & dream – we aim to reclaim that heritage here in Australia and light the way of others worldwide.
We do seek an ambitious agenda of change – one that otherwise would likely not be possible except for growing imperative that climate change presents to the global community.
And if there is light at the end of the tunnel it is entirely plausible that it is in the lessons to be learned from the erstwhile indigenous inhabitants of this great southern land.
Please consider.
I would like to congradulate you on your efforts. After reading your goals, I would like to contribute my idea on desert energy production. THe idea is to run a four inche line from the ocean to a few miles inland. THe four inck line woud be supported in the air at a line parallel to the travel of the sun. Behnd the four inch water line with the ocean flowing through it is a reflector arranged such that the full eneegy at any one time is reflected onto the four inch line holding water. That water asorbs the heat/energy of the light, and as the water moves down the pipe driven by a motor, it absorbs more and more energy. At some point the water begins to boil. If the pressure rises, the boiling point will be retarded. I haven’t thought about this for a couple years, but at the end of the four inch pipe filled with water asorbing the heat of the Sun as it travels from one end to the other end, energy is stored in the water for free. So what we end up with is a water at a significant pressure and much higher that the boiling point of the water. And all we have to do is figure out what to do with this Distilled Water. Oh, the thing can be made out of PVC instead of stainless steel
