What can absolutely replace electricity?

I have asked this question a milllion times. I am still looking for answers and hoping somthing could replace electricity. That would mean our radios, TVs, fans, electric motors, electrical equipments, computers, bulbs, etc would all be discarded - since they require electricity to work.

It would be a completely new world. Can somthing absolutely replace electricity. What can absolutely replace electricity?

several years ago people lived without electricity. They survived. Can we still live without it today?

The solar flare that occurred in the 1800's was so bad, that if they had today's technology it would have all been completely fried and we would have returned to living with no electricity.

So, can anything run this world other than electricity? (A goodbye to electrons)
I think so.

Thanks, Pebbles.
Assuming all the hardware in the world are destroyed, or assuming we are now in a completely empty world (radios, fans, TVs, etc all gone - since electricity is no longer available), how would you look at the new hardware that would replace what we have in the world today?

Honestly, the absence of electricity will change the world. Even man has electric current in him.

So, a lot of changes...
Thanks once more:wave

Depends on what level of diruption your talking about because EMP dosen't really effect electricity as such it effects eletrical items sensitive to magnetism. So we could still build machines based on vacume tubes and local power sources like mills and what not.
I'd still class it as a Class 1 apocolypse (Sociotal collapse human die back+technological regression)

But if it effected All electrity including that in our brain all humans and most complex animals would die that's a Class 5 Apocolypse (Complete biosphere collapse)
 
Thnks again, Pebbles.
Going down to dc/ac/electron drive etc - it'd be a new world. This is actually what I'm trying to say.

Disaster!
 
We are truly spoiled by technology. Can we live without electric, YES! I've seen people make electric out of potatoes, but I guess you would need a bunch of them to run anything. Also you can use a bicycle hooked up to a battery, not sure how to do it, but have seen it done.

I'm glad I was brought up in the country and still live in the country. In case of civil unrest and having to flee your home hunting and fishing would be provision for food. Building a fire for warmth in the winter under pine trees will keep you warm and hide the smoke so others will not find you. Saving and drying seeds from the veggies you buy will plant many gardens and supply food throughout the winter months if you stock pile them. I could go on and on, but I think it would do us all good to learn how to survive without electric if we find ourselves without any and especially if we would have to flee our homes.
 
Can you milk a cow? Can you hunt? Can you build a structure that retains heat easily? (Don't google it for instructions)

I've got my bow and that deer has my arrow. I think I could do it.
 
Even if you were trained in such measures there isn't enough ariable land to support the population as is without modern machinery or modern farming techniques. Whitch is why it would be a disaster by any measure. Alot of elderly pepole would die come first winter from peumonia

I have a bow and arrows and I can aim and shoot reasonably well. but my arrows are field arrows not hunting arrows (whitch are generally illegal here in the UK) thus would be prone to snapping... and I don't know howto fix a fletch to a wooden spar without using glue. And I have no idea what to do when my bowstrings wore out :/

:shocked
I love my Yamaha PSR Keyboard, I love my church studio. Please, you just gave me a heartattack.
 
Oh I agree with you completely, Pebbles. But as you mention, there would be a huge population decline until a balance was met so these methods are not to be over looked.

But to be honest, I think that if all that were to happen I would simply default to my sailboat and horse plan. By plan I really mean boyhood fantasy/adventure.

Alot of peole would do, yeah.

Can you shoot a lion?
 
This song by Damien Marley and Nas has quite a lot of truth pertaining to this matter.

Patience

And I borrowed a line from the song.
 
I have enough in my life to worry about w/o thinking about "what if's". :lol

I'm just glad God will still be in charge. :thumbsup
