| IAA International Motor Show (cars) 2007 |
| Volvo Plug-in-Hybrid | 
| ||
| Finally expectation for a decent car for a strict ''No plug - no deal'' fan. It will take regretfully some years until it will be ready to order at a Volvo dealer. | |||
| IAA 2007 concept car from Volvo | 
| ||
| Concept cars are usually nice to look, but not decisively for the future. But it is different here. This here looks like a normal car in the Golf class. | |||
| Volvo wheelhub engine | 
| ||
| The revolution lets nothing like it was before. Gearing, clutch, differential for front and rear, differentials for the axles are yesterday. | |||
| Volvo wheel hub engines | 
| ||
| All the mechanical insufficiency from a 4 wheel drive replaced by 4 wheel hub engines. Complicate mechanic replaced by some electric cables. | |||
| Brake better without brakes | 
| ||
| Here is no brake to see, only the wheel hub engine. The total revolution in automobile construction does even not stop at the mechanical brake. | |||
| Volov plug-in-hybrid battery | 
| ||
| For about 100 km only electric driving is the battery below the luggage department. The battery can be charged extrem fast, because it must also deal with 500 kW from an emergency stop. | |||
| Volvo Plug-in-Hybrid Generator | 
| ||
| What is the range of an electric car? As long as the carried generator delivers electric power. The engine has no mechanical contact to the wheels. | |||
| Volvo Interview Plug-in-Hybrid |

| General Motors Opel fair sensation IAA 2007 | 
| ||
| September 13th 11:25, hundreds of journalists wait for the visiot of theGerman prime minister Angela Merkel at the GM fair sensation: The solution for our future mobility. | |||
| Revelation of the IAA 2007 fair sensation | 
| ||
| 2 dancers make a show in front of the veiled fair sensation on Segway scooters. At the end of the performance, the sensation is disclosed for the big public. | |||
| Opel Flextreme Plug-in-Hybrid |
| ||
| 55 km is the range of the Flextreme only with electric power. On longer distances produces a 1,3 litre Diesel engine with a 53 kW peak generator for the supply with electric power. | |||
| Tomorrow we will charge our cars like our mobiles | 
| ||
| On the IAA 2007 booth of Opel is near the Flextreme a couch and a desk with plugs to recharge mobiles. On the desk is written: | |||
| Criteria to purchase a car ready for the future | 
| ||
| At the Flextreme concept car without coachwork is to see the most important criteria to purchase a car in the future: The plug to recharge. | |||
| Flextreme chassis based on Opel Astra | 
| ||
| Opel builts the Plug-in-Hybrid Flextreme with as much parts from the large serial construction. So the chassis is from the Opel Astra. | |||
| Serial Hybrid Opel Flextreme | 
| ||
| The 1,3 litre Dieselengine with urea exhaust cleaning resides in the usual position, but it propels only a generator with 53 kW peak performance. | |||
| Opel Flextreme battery | 
| ||
| The battery is listed with 16 kWh capacity. This sould be enough for 100km or even more. The range of only 55 km is an indicator | |||
| Urea tank for exhaust cleaning | 
| ||
| The Opel Flextreme has left in the photo a 26 litre Diesel tank. In the smaller tank behind the battery is urea to reduce NOx nitric oxide in the exhaust gases. | |||
| Opel Flextreme front view | 
| ||
| Already the optic lets assume, hier is a coachwork with very small air resistance. A view below the car show an entire flat bottom. | |||
| Opel Flextreme side view | 
| ||
| PHEV Plug-in hybrid car. In the rear are the open Segway garage visivle. | |||
| Opel Flextreme without side mirrors | 
| ||
| Because of the aerodynamic optimization, there are no more side mirrors. Instead of a side mirror are in the fron part of the front side window is a camera installed. | |||
| Opel Flextreme rear view camera | 
| ||
| At the upper end of the dark deepening is the rear view camera. Finally, one has not to renounce for a central rear view, only because the cargo space if filled up to the top. | |||
| Instruments in the Opel Flextreme | 
| ||
| In front is a flat screen over the full interior width. The screen shows mainly the pictures from the left, middle and right rear view camera. | |||
| Opel Flextreme interior | 
| ||
| The front and rear door of the Flextreme open contra-rotating. There is no B pillar. | |||
| Carry a Segway in a car | 
| ||
| Below the luggage department is a garage for 2 Segway scooters. No, this is not a motorhome, this is a medium sized car. | |||
| Aerodynamic optimized rims | 
| ||
| Who looks exactly will notice the transparent plastic at the large free spaces of the rim. Only the small free spaces let air to the disk brakes. | |||
| GM Chevrolet Volt | 
| ||
| The plug-in-hybrid Chevrolet Volt shows on the General Motors fair booth the other options for the generator: Petrol engine or hydrogen fuel cell instead of Diesel engine. | |||
| Chevrolet Volt gasoline | 
| ||
| The chevrolet Volt with a 3 cylinder turbo engine for the range extender. Because the generator is only used with high load, there is no advantage for the Diesel at small load. | |||
| Chevrolet Volt Motor | 
| ||
| Is a Diesel engine at 30.000 km a year economical? Presently yes. At a plug-in-hybrid are the borders of economy moved towards the petrol engine. | |||
| Chevrolet Volt tanks | 
| ||
| The petrol version has 2 tanks with 26 litres. Left is at the Diesel the exhaust pipe. Where at the Diesel is the urea tank, is here the battery longer. | |||
| Chevrolet Volt Plug-in hybrid hydrogen | 
| ||
| 32 km range with the batteries and 480 km with the hydrogen tanks. Mankind will seriously stop the climate disaster. Fossile fuels are highly taxed. | |||
| Chevrolet Volt Plug-in hybrid with fuel cell | 
| ||
| The plug-in hybrid drive concept makes the use of a fuel cell more easy. 32km range with the batteries alone, complete without fuel cell. | |||
| Hydrogen tank halfs place for batteries | 
| ||
| The battery for the Chevrolet Volt hydrogen is only half as long as at the petrol version. The front hydrogen tank reduces the space away for the battery. | |||
| Maybe upgradeable with 4 wheel drive | 
| ||
| At the hydrogen variant of the Chevrolet Volt is at each rear wheel a wheel hub engine. Maybe it's in the future possible to have four wheel drive as an upgrade? | |||
| Chevrolet Volt front view | 
| ||
| Fair report from the 62nd international motor show in Frankfurt, all in the sense of ''See what's driving the future''. Part 1: Plug-in-Hybrid PHEV. Part 2:other just building. | |||
| Chevrolet Volt flat bottom | 
| ||
| Most of todays cars look very aerodynamic above. But below very cleft. Not so Volt and Flextreme, they have both a flat bottom. | |||
| Because they do not know what they do | 
| ||
| Should the automobile industry do more for the climate protection? The result, only 1/3 Yes shows the insufficient enlightenment of the car drivers about our future cars. | |||

 | A new sustainable building standard | |
| How many similar houses can be produced within 30 years with the surplus electricity of one house? The replication factor provides the answer. |
 | No one should have to be afraid of big changes | |
| Those who are afraid of their existence will vehemently oppose any change. We must therefore design a system where every loser of change becomes a winner. |
 | Cheap home ownership in the flood zone | |
| Why ban construction in an area at risk of flooding? Why not simply "Only floatable houses may be used"? |
 | Wall construction with the top specialists for each task | |
| The tasks of a wall are statics, thermal insulation, noise insulation and heat storage. We use a top specialist for each of these tasks. |
 | Wall heating and/or floor heating | |
| How a combination of measures drastically reduces the electricity demand of a heat pump: The additional wall heating enables lower flow temperature, higher COP. |
 | 1 ha settlement with 12 GEMINI Standard and 4 GEMINI XL houses | |
| 50 times more electricity yield than with the biogas from the cornfield. In addition, living space for 16 families and habitat for many animals and plants that can not live on the cornfield. |
 | Floating settlement in the flood zone | |
| Can we abandon all residential areas where there could be extreme flooding? We are fighting for you to be able to use a cheap plot of land in the red zone! |
 | Simulation test of iron-air batteries and power to methanol | |
| The simulation puts 5 MWh of sodium batteries and 6 MWh of iron-air batteries on the winning test, which really surprised me. What would happen without all the new technology? |
 | CO2 calculator — Energy balance calculator | |
| Since there is not a single footprint calculator where you can enter the values of a GEMINI next generation, here is our CO2 energy balance calculator for housing and mobility. |
 | Disruption in housing and energy for a livable future | |
| Through synergy effects, state-of-the-art technology and cost optimization Disruption in two areas crucial to our future: Housing and energy. |
 | 390 PWh/year electricity for CO2 from the atmosphere | |
| Reduce the CO2 content with Power to Carbon, generate fuels with Power to Liquid and use CO2 for indoor plant cultivation to replace large-scale agriculture. |
| Configurator for GEMINI next generation house Configure your future home from empty house to fully equipped with furniture, heated garage, ice and snow free sidewalks and driveway. |
 | Calculation ERROR | |
| Why is humanity not half the way to solar age, like it was intended 1991 as PEGE - Planetary Engineering Group Earth was founded? There is a deadly calculation ERROR! |
 | Rural areas have a higher birth rate than cities | |
| important for the demographic problem. Sufficient housing for children in a child-friendly environment must not be an unaffordable luxury. |
| Developments for the ClimateProtectionSuperiorityHouse CPSH 2022 It is much more than a building standard, it is evolving towards a civilization standard for worldwide wealth and to address the climate catastrophe. |
 | Example Germany | |
| With 233 inhabitants per km², Germany is four times more densely populated than the world average. This is how the 1,000 m² society and 100% renewable energy works. |
 | Filtering and splitting CO2 from the atmosphere | |
| Due to their enormous space and water requirements, plants are unsuitable for the necessary reduction of the CO2 content in the atmosphere. There is no room for 37 million km² of growing forest. |
 | Functional energy transition vs. German energy transition | |
| We have to denounce very hard the grotesque German energy transition in order to turn all the enemies of this grotesque into fans of a functional energy transition. |
 | UBI - Universal basic income | |
| UBI is becoming increasingly necessary, but is not compatible with the current system. Creating the foundations of a UBI compatible society. |
 | Take 2 steps at once and fall flat on your face | |
| Artists recognize trends very early on. What could be a more fitting phrase for German energy policy than “Take two steps at once and fall flat on your face”? |
 | Iron-air battery - will decentral summer/winter balancing become standard? | |
| A new big duel is emerging: hydrogen fuel cells, power to methane and combined cycle power plants against the iron-air battery. Where can the iron-air battery save costs? |
 | Homeownership cheaper than rental apartment | |
| Because rent + operating costs + electricity + fuel for the car cost more than the loan installment MINUS profit from the sale of electricity. Ideal retirement provision. |
 | Energy change — Food change — Social change | |
| Everyone is only talking about the energy transition for climate protection, but we also need a change in food production and in the social sphere. A solution for all 3 changes. |
 | Ventilation with heat and moisture recovery from exhaust air | |
| We do not take just any ventilation system, but one with moisture and heat recovery from exhaust air and 20 cm pipes for extremely quiet and economical operation. |
 | Revenue-neutral CO2 tax vs. bans | |
| Bans instead of free market economy. Restrictions and coercion instead of effective CO2 reduction. All of this can also be summed up in a single word: Misanthropy. |
 | Electricity surplus: The power grid is only there to sell electricity | |
| On-grid and off-grid with identical GEMINI next generation houses. Off-grid is only more difficult to finance because the income from electricity sales is missing. |
 | GEMINI next Generation AG (Inc.) shares | |
| Let's make the world a better place! Your investment and our ideas as an unbeatable team to give humanity a future well worth living. So much more than only an investment! |
 | Significantly more efficiency with heat pumps | |
| You can sell more electricity if you need less yourself. Therefore, 3 innovations at once for the utmost efficiency in space heating, space cooling and hot water. |
 | The EFH is dead, long live the new EFH! | |
| But why is everything concentrated so close to the 0 line? It is a failure due to wrong target setting. People have focused only on reducing space heating demand. |
 | From surface heating to full surface heating | |
| To increase the coefficient of performance of the heat pump, every degree less flow temperature counts. We take this to the extreme with full-surface heating! |
 | Use comparison 1 ha maize for biogas vs 1 ha settlement area | |
| "We need 2 Earths" is an urgent reminder that space optimization is necessary and we need to stop senseless inefficient waste of space. |
 | Housing turnaround and energy turnaround | |
| Urbanization has been underway since the 1st industrial revolution. An efficient energy transition and a higher standard of living require a reversal of this trend. |
 | Carbon fiber becomes standard material for construction | |
| If we filter the 33.1 Gt CO2 emission of 2019 from the atmosphere and split it into C and O, we get 9 billion tons of carbon. What to do with it? |
 | Marshall Plan for Palestinians | |
| Learn from history! In any case, defusing the conflict is much cheaper than risking a third world war. Would only cost 1.25 years of US military budget. |
 | Planet renovation back to 350 ppm CO2 | |
| We contribute house by house. This means Climate Protection Superiority House for Climate Protection Superiority House. |
 | How do you plan an electricity system? | |
| Photovoltaics are very cheap. Photovoltaics can be dimensioned so large that you can get by with it even in December. This means you have a lot of surplus electricity in June. |
 | Energy-optimized settlements | |
| We need living space, we need energy. Combining both in one area enables considerable cost optimization, less space and material requirements. |
 | Conference of Mayors in Upper Austria | |
| Global prosperity and planetary restoration instead of destroying society with constant “save restrict renounce” demands. |
 | GEMINI next Generation AG is looking for employees and freelancers | |
| We are completely redefining what a house is, how it is produced and want to establish a new building standard worldwide. Of course, there's a lot of work to be done. |
 | Against “You will have nothing but be happy” | |
| We, on the other hand, want to make home ownership and energy ownership possible for a very large part of the population. Our own food production is also one of our important issues. |
 | Dynamics of goals and decisions | |
| The invention of the catalyst in 1950 developed a momentum that will lead to the end of the ICE. Rio 1992, Paris 2015 will likewise establish the CPSH building standard. |
 | Land for energy - electricity as a lease price | |
| If the state leases 10,000 km², then it has lease income of 600 TWh/a. Germany's current electricity demand is then rental income. |
 | Intensive agriculture unequal to nature | |
| The worst greenwashing is the term "organic corn" and "biofuel". These areas for settlements with ClimateProtectionSuperiorityHouses and renaturation. |
 | Summer / winter balancing of solar power — seasonal storage | |
| Different approaches to summer/winter balancing compared. Seven different locations, from Oslo to Cairo, are examined for seasonal balancing. |
 | Investing in disruption for survival: GEMINI 1991 to 2023 | |
| In 1991, the “GEMINI habitable solar power plant” was extremely far ahead of its time, but in 2021, “GEMINI next Generation” has the potential for the next big disruption. |
 | Pitch for investors | |
| Our pitch in a 12 slide PDF on how we will manage to change the world and become one of the most valuable companies in the world in the process. |
 | Sri Lanka crisis 2022 example of oil exit failures | |
| Hit hard by the breakdown in tourism caused by COVID-19, the higher price of oil comes as the next blow. The serious failures of the industrialized countries. |
 | The 1 million hectares program | |
| Functional energy transition, affordable housing, genuine climate protection, reduce land requirements, reduce old-age poverty, increase far too low birth rate |
 | Power grid or no power grid, that is here the question | |
| Let's take a larger settlement with 1024 houses and 90 MW of photovoltaics. In an area as sunny as Mountain View in California, 125 GWh annual yield. |
 | The Scandinavian parable | |
| A very cold winter's day in Scandinavia. Either drive 498 km from Oslo to Trondheim in a City-El or 1,867 km from Oslo to Hammerfest in a Tesla Y. |
 | COP 29 with unscientific net-zero emissions nonsense | |
| In 2023, almost no more CO2 was absorbed on land. This is overwhelming proof that net-zero emissions are a nonsense that endangers civilization. |
 | Levels of civilization and the status of the civilization on planet Earth | |
| Without knowing it, mankind has been on a civilization jump for a 1/4 millennium. This must now be completed as quickly as possible with the urgently needed planet renovation. |
 | Keeping the economy competitive | |
| If the costs for housing, food and energy are very high, even enormously high wages are hardly enough to live on. A vicious circle of economic decline. |
 | Land for Energy: Affordable Housing, efficient Energy Transition | |
| and cheap electricity for worldwide wealth. Resolutely stop the economic decline caused by exploding housing costs and skyrocketing energy costs. |
 | We combine the dream of home ownership | |
| with society's dream of 100 rrenewable energy. Using synergy effects of the GEMINI next generation house to make both affordable. |
 | Change of Earth orbit because the sun gradually releases more energy | |
| The sun's energy output has been rising since its inception 4.6 billion years ago. This increase will be critical for life on Earth in the next half-billion years. |
 | Irresponsible sectarians demand renunciation of children | |
| Children are our future! Renounce our future because of the delusions of a doomsday cult? Re-ruralization creates a family-friendly environment. |
| Example of room design 360° panoramic tour and individual shots of each room. The living room is shown in 3 different states, from full size to left and right a children's room. |
| Investing in disruption for survival Humanity has several existence-threatening problems, we offer to invest in a multiple disruption, which can solve several of these problems. |
 | Destructive cult prevents functional energy transition | |
| A horror novel about a world without renewable energy and recycling delayed a workable energy transition and thus effective climate protection by decades. |
 | Rethinking the energy transition: The price lie | |
| The demand for “more money for climate protection” is based on the price lie. But we need more motivation, credit and opportunity for a real effective energy transition. |
 | A pessimistic society without dreams and visions of the future | |
| will crumble. Concrete solutions for a higher standard of living and a stable society instead of constant scaremongering about how terrible the future will be. |
 | For decades all the “Save Restrict Renounce” sermons | |
| We, on the other hand, believe that only worldwide wealth can provide the economic basis for a planet renovation, back to 350 ppm CO2. |
 | The 1000 m² Civilization | |
| More space for nature, more space for humans, stop wasting land through inefficient use, stop destroying nature for the nonsensically inefficient. |
 | Planetary renovation back to 350 ppm CO2 | |
| Humanity will succeed if it does not allow itself to be stopped. From 30,000 TWh/a to 250,000 TWh/a in 35 years, only 6.2 % more electricity production per year is required |
 | Foundation of GEMINI next Generation inc.: we will be Tesla at houses | |
| The first step is to establish a stock corporation in Austria with €70,000 in share capital. This will create a legal structure for further investors. |
 | Climate Protection Superiority House CPSH | |
| An enduring civilization with respect and space for nature requires that housing, energy production and food production be combined in a space-saving way. |
| The extreme lie of overproduction Where would the rich Westerner end up with photovoltaics and electricity storage if he could no longer provoke the poor African with a "Your poverty pisses me off"? |
 | GEMINI next Generation AG (Inc.) | |
| We improve the world through Climate Protection Superiority Houses. Our mission statement: planet renovation back to 350 ppm CO2, we contribute house by house. |
 | Housing counseling life counseling - new opportunity for more living standard | |
| Homeownership cheaper than a rental apartment? The dream of a house with your own garden suddenly not only within reach, but also a financial improvement? |
 | Why study a lot, work a lot, when the dream of owning your own home | |
| becomes unfulfillable even for higher earners? A system that offers no motivations will end up with a completely motivationless population. |
 | Would Germany be possible with 100% solar electricity? | |
| The expansion of wind energy is faltering. Is wind energy really indispensable for the energy transition or would it even work with exclusively 100% solar power? |
 | UBI for self-supplying people | |
| Rental apartment in San Francisco, electricity, fuel, food, craftsmen for repairs are all easily paid by the UBI. Free yourself from such excessive illusions. |
 | Since the beginning of the industrial revolution is urbanization running | |
| We think that the limits of urbanization have been reached and also already exceeded, a good part of the population should go back to the countryside, a re-ruralization. |
 | -250% CO2 emission until 350 ppm are reached again | |
| Less CO2 emission is much too little, even zero emission is insufficient. Only a planet renovation with large-scale CO2 filtering and splitting from the atmosphere will help. |
 | Rethinking cities | |
| The Green parliamentary group in the German Bundestag is hosting the online conference “Rethinking Cities” on March 19, 2021. We are participating in the virtual exhibition. |
 | Standard of living should be measured among the poorest 20% | |
| the richest 80% are better off. A society cannot be called rich if the super-rich drive through the tent cities of the homeless poor. |
 | Green dogmatism and the destruction of the German photovoltaic industry | |
| How the dogma “the demand for electricity will decrease” led to extremely wrong targets, which led to the destruction of the German photovoltaic industry in 2013. |
 | Austria Earth Exhaustion Day and what lies behind it | |
| Such footprint calculators are not about solutions, but about making people compliant for an eco-fascist dictatorship. |
 | Model of energy-optimized settlement areas 2060 | |
| Development of production capacity for 560,000 new homes in energy-optimized residential areas with 42 GW of photovoltaics and 126 GWh of batteries per year in Germany. |
 | Strictly against “Man Is a Pest” | |
| We vehemently disagree with this. Any direction that views man as a pest will be completely incapable of developing solutions for the survival of mankind. |
 | Disruption at houses | |
| The market for homes is in as horrifying a state as the electric car market was in 2003: in the year Tesla was founded, the Peugeot 106 was a top electric car. |
 | Counter theses to central dogmas of climate activists | |
| Is there really only one way to 100 % renewable energy? Is there really only one way to protect the climate? Is the target sufficient and achievable? |
 | IPCC Report 2021: “Net Zero Emissions” Fairy Tale and its Devastating Consequences | |
| Constantly contradicting itself, the IPCC 2021 report adheres to the completely inadequate “net zero emissions” target. This can only be thinking prohibitions. |
 | Why Germany is failing in the energy transition | |
| In the first decade of the new millennium, Germany was the great role model in the energy transition, why, on the other hand, the current EEG policy leads to disaster. |
 | Politics WorldFurther prosperity | |
| Philosophy sets the big goals, politics has the task of creating the framework conditions to achieve these big goals. |
 | Obstacles on the way to a real civilisation | |
| Technology and natural sciences very good plus politics and economics not enough minus What is preventing humanity from becoming a real civilization? |
 | Sunny Sunday: the best time to charge electric car | |
| When prices are negative, people will of course not sell electricity, but store as much as possible. In the batteries of the house, in the batteries of the electric cars. |
