A Working Radiant Free Energy System By Ossie Callanan – January 2007 A Working Radiant Free Energy System Introduction - By Ossie Callanan I believe I may have this radiant energy system worked out to the point where anyone can build it and when you build it‚ all of it‚ it can provide you with free and continuous energy. There are two sides to it and just having either side is no good‚ you must have both. Of course‚ one side is the motor/charger side‚ and the other is the battery and accumulatorconverter

High-performance building insulation and high-efficiency lighting combined with energy efficient HVAC systems accounts for total energy cost savings of 18.6%. Guestrooms and public space feature low flow dual flush toilets and low flow shower heads and faucets‚ which have contributed to a 40% reduction in potable water demand for the property. The building also features high-albedo roofing and pavers to reflect light and heat energy thereby mitigating the heat island effect and reducing the need for building
