Israeli Technology Will Prevent Massive Power Failures in North America
A team of researchers from Ricor and Bar-Ilan University in Israel have, in the past several weeks, reached the final stages of the development of a unique technology, the product of a four year collaboration, that will prevent the kind of vast power failures that have frequented North America. Research into the groundbreaking Israeli technology, intended for use in North America, began in 2003, following the great power outage in New York and much of the North Eastern United States. The Israeli product has already sparked the interest of US energy companies who have begun meeting with Israeli researchers to investigate the possibility of utilizing the unique technology that prevents unlimited surges of electrical current without shutting off the power entirely. If meetings between the Israelis and Americans proceed according to plan New Yorkers will no longer have to suffer through power failures as in 2003 and again this past June that were, in fact, caused by a local power outage in a remote location far from the city. Just this past June amidst a heat wave, close to one million people in Manhattan had no electricity. Many businesses also endured power failures, among them museums, office buildings and stores. The NYPD had to evacuate countless people into the streets, and businesses in the Big Apple reported losses of millions of dollars, despite the fact that New Yorkers had been certain that a power failure of the magnitude of the one back in 2003 could never happen again. The 2003 power failure that lead scientists at Bar Ilan University and Ricor developers to begin research into the exclusive technology for the prevention of sudden surges of electrical current, left 50 million people the North Eastern United States, from Canada to New York, New England, New Jersey and other states without power. Millions overflowed into Manhattan streets escaping the sweltering heat in the subways, a grim reminder of the September 11 attacks. According to Ricor and Bar Ilan University, much of the electrical infrastructure in North America was designed decades ago and is unable to meet rising energy demands. As an alternative to replacing the entire framework, Ricor will be able to install the exclusive technology into the existing system without adding to the unsightly current structures already damaging the environment. The new technology developed by Israeli scientists that will be presented to US energy corporations will be implemented within existing structures and therefore save Americans millions of dollars in tax money. "In the event of a short circuit situation in North America, our technology will limit electrical current surges at the particular location so that it does not damage the entire infrastructure," explains Dr Shuki Wolfus of Bar Ilan University, "Americans can rest assured that existing configurations can remain intact and further construction of energy lines that harm the environment can thus be avoided."
