Enhanced Napalm Energy
 

Wind and solar leave our power grids particularly vulnerable to surging energy bills due to spikes in the price of gas. We need a cheap steady source of energy that is not gas and I have just the thing.

 

Napalm burns at temperatures ranging from 800 to 1,200 °C (1,470 to 2,190 °F) whereas

Petrol burns at 280 °C (536 °F)

 

While the chemical structure of napalm is complicated it is easy to make, one part polystyrene to two parts petrol. I experimented as a school boy and found just one small sphere of polystyrene with a little petrol in an ash tray heated our sitting room to such a degree that clothes had to be taken off until the room gradually cooled. Each ash tray could only be used once, I did think to test this. I got a team to help a lady in Canada whose heating had failed during winter. She had to keep warm and not sleep for ten days, and we kept her talking and heated by napalm. Fortunately the lady had enough ash trays, or I would have had to find out how many times a saucepan could be used before failing. Another contact, from the Ukraine this time, again in an online newspaper asked about heating, and napalm in saucepans (ten times only) is now used all over war-torn Ukraine. Because napalm burns at much higher temperatures lower quantities of fuel could be used in converted fossil fuel power stations to create cleaner energy for times when renewable energy is in short supply, even with back up batteries. The Soviet Union added various chemicals to the napalm that each multiplied each others burning temperatures, to get up to the heat of a nuclear explosion, 100 million degrees Celsius, so this could replace the forever twenty years away dreams of fusion energy, and much more cheaply. Reports suggest that it has been used by Russia in the Ukraine war. Napalm was invented as a weapon, now we can use it for peace time energy, turning swords into ploughshares.

All the infrastructure is already in place to generate electricity in this way, we just need to convert are fossil and nuclear power stations, which is cheaper than building new.
