so you guys are just an immense pleasure to kick off the second session so today Alberto boats electricity for you and me so when I was younger I used to dream of this fairy tale a smack fairy tales and juror utopia but then as I grew older those utopias I treats it gradually fell apart and I like many others learn to say that utopias belong in
fairy tales in the real world belongs in the real world what I'm here to tell you a lot of junk because you took his might not exist but after that comes yet yeah but let's talk about technology and how technology can treat this utopia that we won't so how the iPhone one to bring no not once or if I die for three four five six boom
technology also recounted what enough to make born a proud but let's talk about an industry that we all love and who dared the electric generation Destry that's talk about how we first %HESITATION thought about energy generation well Barbara cave people we saw that when you burn a fire all snowboarding name cool me fire and that that fire burn our food and we're able to cook meat
and then later became a bit smarter and reliable to use the rivers to grind our brain is you can see food is a recurring theme in human history then come the industrial pollution we're a bit smarter what we did was a combined the two combined fire and Walter supporting that's Bernie something to turn water into steam it turns out turbine which turns a Dynamo which makes
electricity which then comes to your house lousy to power your Mike we've and warm not hot pockets yours won't but if I hope you learned something from this is that it's still fundamentally remains the same humans love burning stuff if it were such avid pyromania acts than the last night it burned an additional nineteen million tons of global warming pollution it's atmosphere twenty percent of which
will remain for the next ten thousand years so all of his innovative as we'd like to think this thinking does not cuts it recounts keep on using the industrial pollution thinking a power our future because of our problems go more complex I see that we need to come up with even more ambitious solutions we see like John F. Kennedy said that too often we live in
the comfort of our opinion thousand during the discomforts thought and today this talk is about making sure we put ourselves in that region of discomfort to think and to creates a system that works for all of us that's all right here want to trace a generation system all together that means mean you guys so I've interviewed okay I have already interviewed any of you all but
if I were to if I didn't serve you guys what I probably see is that with electricity maybe you don't want to hear that trickles anymore we want to decrease your electricity Repsol's all they see on where the water heater on twenty four seven without mother nature slopping Uniphase or perhaps your parents love in your face because electricity bills are too damn high but that's not
the point the thing is we can trace so that we can make the idea for dreamers and also just going back with the electricity bills of my father complaints for the both of us so I'm well acquainted with its all anyway so we are going to treat a system and that system involves this solar panels because human ambition in human traits seventy is only contained by
the shackles of energy and once we free ourselves from the shock of energy increasing energy in such abundance we can accomplish anything like fully electrically powered aircraft like Richard Branson would like to do we'll probably go to space with electric rockets or even more or even more we can have wireless electricity like nuclear test will try to do like Nicholas Tesla accomplished the nineteen hundreds so
what I do know we don't need these large multi billion dollar solar panel forms in fact I do as much simpler than that read you something everybody how something up and that's his property we were sort of panels and few people will buy solar panels put on their house and what happens is that big and they're allowed to sell their surplus electricity any other building so
read divorce ourselves away from you today to come so you see the diagram connecting communities together the house is in yellow are the ones I have sore panels and they can sell it to the houses and white and the house isn't white can buy from them and from this you see we connect communities reconnect regions and in the grand scheme of Russ strategy of it all
is to connect the coincidence and that's where we have the wireless extricity and selling things off shore in his grand ideas so remember how I mentioned it was an idea for dreamers well that's just something my marketing agents to which Cold Robert Hauser who name but it's it's personality nothing's bet no Johnny Depp Depp dynamic electric what form so that's where we're trying to create we're
trying to treat a pursuit of wealth for me as our pursuit of all for us and to create a culture of a type assured electricity that's costing me flooring throughout the globe so brown from are in Serlio which is a nation of beautiful nation along the west African continent while police is that hello my relatives are shopkeepers and you'll realize that in this twenty first century
it's nearly impossible to do anything without electricity so a lot of them have to suffer so from that but however my my relatives are fortunate able to afford generators and using those generators they can they can how light the point here is the money you spend on that generator and maintaining the generator that's less money for you to so also less money for you to buy
inventory and also will be down the road less money for the country to grow and that's our role here after all we want grow as people and we want to prove countries and grow the world but remember those are people who can afford it generates imagine those accounts imagine a former in Syria and in rural Sir William his wealth sleeveless is slavishly tied to his health
and his well being what he does today will dictate whether his family has food next week and the reason we can't have this these large forms in stereo is because really lock the mother of all infrastructure electricity so how can we have this idea work in a place like serotonin or in other developing nations that is we just have some entrepreneurs save up money and what
they do is on their little properties they built the solar panels and then they begin selling that surplus the people around them so you begin silence your neighbors friends we buy from the person you saw on who the other day that's the beauty of it all tracing a dynamic platform so this is going to into the actual a finer finer details of it one hundred and
seventy three thousand terror what's that's a hundred thirty three thousand trillion what's it's earth continuously and makes no sense for us not to use what has been given to us ever got fucked doesn't amaze you drop this will in two thousand two one hour of sunlight on the globe power the entire planet four year the sun is strewn amazing thing we we tend to think of
it just as a yellow ball in the sky with Morinda it turns six hundred and fifty million tons of hydrogen to him every second six hundred and fifty million tons actress amends heats and rents lights not just gotten to universe amber lights is just packets of energies quanta and what happens is that when light takes eight minutes goes to reach earth it might strike one of
our solar panels sore panels are made of silicone which happens to be the second most abundant material on the planet and one lights remember energy is a silicone the electrons dislodged and moved upwards when the electron has no ability we can facilitate electric current so what do we need to create the solar systems for our houses for this round idea we're going need the same three
things reader collector that's a solar array knows pretty self explanatory we need a battery nuts meant to store electricity for use at a later time finally we need and then we also need a DC to AC inverter Rachel gets very soon another thing we need is like a meter a meter where it's it's a platform that allows us to see those customers around us so our
electricity for them which even buy from them what's even puts it on auto pilot so you're constantly selling your making profits and what so yes I go into details of big DC and AC inverter what god is is that in electricity we have two signals we help DC direct current an AC alternating current and do you see is what we're most familiar with that's where the
electron you think if you saw my arm is a a wire Israel electron moves in one direction well ABC alternating current it's where the electron alternates between moving forward and backward the results emotions always forwards was like this and that's the reason why these lights that you see a pair actually refreshing at sixty hertz or sixty cycles per second it's just so fast that we don't
notice it not that happens because it has an AC pulsing through it so remember our solar panels big DC and we just need something because our houses and all appliances use AC and that's just the reason we have so one of the big issue the major like this remember it's largely political we're saying that we completely divorce the utility generation come we're saying we empower the
consumer to become both the consumer and the project in fact many of us all in this trial maybe work in oil and gas well suited thing is you guys are she won't points this season I do like this and turn it to your benefit because using the men's assets in capsule that your company's how you guys can be the talents that creates new bigger things you
guys can make this is a reality you can make this wireless electricity because once you start playing the game the game of dynamic electricity you realize that the only way you can win itself more customers and the only way to get more customers so to the so that means you can have the American coincidence thanks African Franken because it's thanks Australia Stevens or Antarctica and the
arctic if you he wants it that's the beauty of it all so but we were the real way that we're going to fix this is just through coming together and cooperating and tracing this culture of kindness and culture of sharing it's all about interconnection treating those physical in deeper connection it's about making electricity warden just a commodity that we use everyday what's a human right so
San read common we like to say re runs are an idea like moths attracted to a flame but I say no we don't use the flame fire is what brings us the fires are all thinking we need a new thinking in that new thinking comes in the form of actresses who and that's why we was one to this idea like moths to a light bulb thank
