(Natural News) If you’ve dabbled in the art of prepping and browsed articles on the subject, then you’ve probably come across the term EMP, or electromagnetic pulse. And while the concept and mechanics behind an electromagnetic pulse attack might seem like something straight out of a science fiction novel, the threat is very real —albeit one that […]

(Natural News) The United States is the world’s only remaining superpower and we got that way through innovation, development, investment and freedom.   But our country runs on power — electricity — and without it, our way of life would surely be decimated. A widespread grid failure would, overnight, lead to chaos, death and destruction. In […]

(Natural News) Thermoelectric power plants provide a third of America’s electrical generation, and the combination of aging technologies, droughts, and strict environmental regulations is likely to sharply reduce the energy output. To prevent this, researchers recommend replacing the once-through cooling systems of the aging power plants with drought-resistant recirculating models. Their study countered the calls by […]

(Natural News) A power outage is one of the most challenging situations any homeowner may face. Society has grown to be heavily dependent on technology and electricity, with the latter becoming almost a necessity. Losing access to electricity can lead to adverse effects on everyday life. What’s even more unfortunate is that you don’t usually […]

(Natural News) People can now tap snowfall for electricity, thanks to triboelectric nanogenerators that collect electrical energy from innocuous activities like footsteps and raindrops. The new energy harvester, developed by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), is not only inexpensive but light as well – matching the thinness and flexibility of a plastic sheet. “The device […]

(Natural News) Society has grown into one that relies heavily on electricity-powered devices, appliances and gadgets. Most people can’t even imagine a world without the convenience that comes with electricity. A lot of electrical outages usually last a few hours or maybe a few days. However, some disasters can lead to power outages that may last weeks, […]

(Natural News) Preppers habitually get their gear ready for common SHTF scenarios like power outages. Blackouts can occur at any time due to issues at a power station or natural causes like winds from a storm that’s strong enough to bring down power lines. Whatever the cause is, you must take measures to ensure that your family […]

(Natural News) You’ve heard of all the ways to convert light or wind or heat into usable electricity. But have you ever thought that the coldness of the universe might serve as an alternative source of clean and renewable power? Most energy production systems get their power from somewhere. Solar panels collect light while wind […]

(Natural News) Experts know that a strange species of bacteria found in oxygen-deprived sediment and soil can generate electricity. But they only recently learned that the microorganism achieves this through a method that differs from that used by other electric bacteria. Called Geobacter sulfurreducens, the anaerobic bacteria possess a unique biological structure. This previously unidentified feature makes […]

(Natural News) Solar panels are largely a scam. And over the last week, thousands of solar panel owners in California are colliding with that sobering reality as they realize solar panels don’t work when the power grid goes down. That’s because nearly all residential and commercial solar systems are “grid-tie” systems that feed power to […]
