The Future of Energy: An Emerging Science by Dr. Thomas Valone
A new 220 page softcover book discusses the latest emerging energy technologies and mankind’s history of energy and its future trends. Includes an examination of the sociopolitical aspects of man’s use of energy.
In a world of uncertainty about the future, The Future of Energy: An Emerging Science by Thomas Valone offers “…hope for solving the world’s looming energy shortage,” according to Science magazine, since it considers things we have barely imagined in search of new carbon-free technologies.
Containing a myriad of new energy technologies assembled into archetypal categories, a sociological perspective emerges along with the science. Well funded, emerging energy sources such as dense plasma focus fusion, powdered metal-burning engines, wireless transmission of electricity, space-based solar power, piezoelectric highway electricity generators and zero point energy are given simple and short summaries.
Recent Conferences on Future Energy sponsored by the author’s institute, offering the best examples of emerging future energy sources, are also listed and described.
“[I]t would be foolhardy not to assess a broad spectrum of advanced energy sources, converters, and enabling technologies.” - Martin Hoffert, et al., Science, Vol. 300, 25 April 2003, p. 581 (more…)

Out of the Box: Building Robots, Transforming Lives
In his memoir, "Out of the Box: Building Robots, Transforming Lives" (Lift Every Voice, January 2009), Williams shares his childhood affinity for inventions, gadgets, basketball, spiritual faith and his pursuit of seemingly impossible dreams.
While American history was made with the inauguration of the first African-American President Barack Obama, young people are realizing their career aspirations are endless. Andrew Williams, Ph.D., is inspiring African-Americans to overcome obstacles of higher education through his personal story of education, determination and robotics.
College education discrepancies between the races are startling. 2008 statistics reveal that African-Americans make up only 13.3 percent of incoming college freshman, with 9 percent receiving bachelor’s degrees (8 percent in science and technology majors). However, White students comprise almost 75 percent of incoming freshmen, with 70 percent earning bachelor’s degrees (67 percent in science and technology). (Science Magazine, May 16, 2008).
Williams believes these findings are a result of the lack of role models in the science and engineering field, unlike the entertainment and sports industry. In his memoir, “Out of the Box: Building Robots, Transforming Lives” (Lift Every Voice, January 2009), Williams shares his childhood affinity for inventions, gadgets, basketball, spiritual faith and his pursuit of seemingly impossible dreams.
