Give This Man a Job

There is a man in Israel who says he has at least part of the solution to global warning. According to Haaretz, the Israeli English language newspaper, Max Nadel, has a simple means of creating alternative energy. You would think a guy like this would be working for one of the larger conglomerates or at least a cutting edge alternative energy group. Think again.

Max doesn’t have a job. Max can barely afford a small room in a run down apartment building in downtown Tel Aviv. So for the time being, anyway, this leaves Max out of any presentations of his findings to science groups at the United Nations or anywhere else.

Max calls him premise the Totem system. This is short of the Total Energy Modulation Model. (see diagram) Max’s machine produces energy through steam, heat produced by solar cells, and the colling liquid produced in biogas power plants. Max claims the system could be made even more efficient by using wind, thermal, and energy from the rivers or seas.

I don’t know if it works. Who does? Maybe Max does. But I am reminded of all the great inventions that were discovered by accident or through the miracle of simplicity. From Ben Franklin to Charles Goodyear, the list goes on an on about accidental and simple inventions that have changed the planet.

Maybe Max can change the planet. Maybe Max deserves a job, or funding…something. I’m sure Max is a ready candidate for preemployment screening and the usual host of background checks. I’m sure Max could use a little money so he could show his system to the world. In this world of mega-mergers and complex approaches to our energy needs, maybe Max has one of the answers. Good luck to him.
