In 1606 Jerónimo de Ayanz y Beaumont
patented the first working steam engine, it was the first commercial mechanical use of energy. Contrary to popular belief, this was not the first time human used energy for practical means, we have been using energy for as long s history can remember. Man has used fire for cooking, baking of clay ware, and forging of metals. Water from streams to power mills for the grinding of grain and distribution of water, even wind to power grinders for grains. We even used it in transportation for sail boats.
With the invention of the steam engine, this expanded innovation and facilitated land transportation via the rail ways as well as steam powered cars (Yes we had steam powered cars, very impractical but it was state of the art and worked, just fell out of business quickly). The railway started a new industrialization era which increased the need and demand for energy. Its the basis of the modern society we live in today.
In the early 20th Century the first
internal combustion engine was invented.
This was all because of Crude Oil (fossil fuel).The first
Modern oil well which was built in 1854 was based on the process's created by
Jan Józef Ignacy Łukasiewicz, a polish pharmacist used to extract kerosene from crude oil. He Pioneered and built the first
Modern Oil well.
The reason I stress on the word modern is because oil has also been used for energy and its properties from as early as Babylonian times. Pitch was used in the construction of the Tower of Babylon, Tar and Crude oil were key components of greek fire used in warfare. Oil wells date back further than 347 AD in China. Man has been using energy and current sources for as long as we can remember.
In 1981 the World Used 58,013.31 Barrels Of Oil Per Day. Today we use 92 Million Barrels Per Day. Bill McDonald of Forbes estimates at our current consumption rate, discovery rate, with reserves, we possibly have around 50 years or so of oil left!. The world is in dire need of a new energy source, a renewable one. There are several projects and new technologies available and on the way that offer this, but based on the efficiency and commercialization and cost it has become impractical. Energy is one of the things we will always need, but with commercialization it has become costly. We at AECTT aim to bring to the common man a cost effective simple solutions where you can generate energy yourself from solar power, wind power, water power in an effective efficient manner.
The products we offer comes from simple do it your self (DIY) assembly kits to professionally installed systems that reduce cost for your energy demand. Its safe, environmentally friendly and the power sources are free. Our kits allow you to harness these free sources and convert it into electricity or heat, use it or store it for later use. No More BILLS, with us, you save money, save the environment, and Build a Brighter Future.
