Dear All.
I was in conversation with Chet earlier today and whilst he is under 2 foot of snow I have Snowdrops in bloom. Temperature 4 deg C.
I just thought that it would be nice to share this years natural unfolding with everyone.
The attached photo was taken at 1500 hrs GMT. Our brook, Black Brook wending it's weary way to the River Alyn, is captured in the background.
Cheers Grum.
Grum
tomorrow I will send a shot of My brook....
its like Mount Snow around here ,and more coming.....I could use some of TinMans 42C at the moment.... :'(
Chet, careful what you wish for. Here's a phone camera dodgy panorama from Central Queensland Aus. almost right on the "Tropic of Capricorn", we get lots of sun and/rain, during summer the sun is so strong it stings the skin then it rains a torrential downpour and when the sun comes back out it's like living in a sauna with the sun on you as well when outside. It can get truly oppressive, but I don't like the cold. This area looks nice in a picture, but being here takes the edge off at times because of the humidity and heat together, not sure if Tinman's area gets tropical like here. So far this year not too bad, I've got free air con now. Thank the heavens for that.
I've never seen snow in real life, it doesn't snow here ever but we do get hailstorms and serious electrical storms. Downright scary when you live on the top of a ridgeline on a mountain.
Good luck with the heavy snow, take care. I feel for ya. I see it on the Telly, looks nasty cold there.
P.S. Oh I forgot the deadly snakes, you can take some heat if you take some snakes as well, you can have all the eastern brown snakes and Taipans over 3 feet long. hehehe
Tinman might have some Tiger snakes or Death Adders if you want them as well. O0
Farmhand
Yes it Looks beautiful ....however I know what you mean about the heat and humidity,it gets hard to breathe if you exert yourself.[at least if your not adjusted to it]
one thing about snow, you have to shovel it ....The _boys_ use to complain that it was Too cold outside to shovel...
I handed them a shovel and said "here grab a furnace" ten minutes with this and you'll be taking cloths off do to the heat...worked every time O0
may I ask how you get free Aircond?
thx for the pic
Chet
Chet the free Air con is a bit tongue in cheek, someone else paid for the unit and fitted it, the power here is virtually free last bill for three months was about $40.00,
grid tie solar array almost gave a zero bill. The next one will be credit I think. More sun now and the majority of power being used during the day.
Better to aim for a zero bill than try to make money from exporting power. In my opinion, depends on the tariff.
Dear contributors.
Many thanks for getting this thread off to a good start. I feel there should always be a little time spent just kicking back and enjoying life as best we can. I was very lucky to be given a second chance, so to speak !!
Farmhands photo made me so envious, I could feel the warmth oozing out of my monitor, snakes? No worries, we have kept a few over the years. Funny though, Oz seems to be the receptacle for a much greater diversity of dangerous critters than anywhere else.
I sometimes wonder whether it was some sort of ancient experiment ?? Oooh, moving into the area of theology, I think I'll pass !! ;)
Keep em coming. O0
Cheers Grum.
Well im off on vacation tomorrow.
Here is a couple of snaps of where we are heading. I have been delivering freight to this place for a year now,and have never seen the beaches lol.
Nearly the caribbean TJ lol.
See you all when i get back-->if i come back lol. O0

Well
Its not much of a pic however you get the idea ...
one is of two pieces of equipment sitting sadly
in the snow ,the other shot is back towards My house from the
hoop building [which was being crunched]
lots of snow here ,still removing 3 feet from the
roof of my Motherinlaws empty house ,she hasn't
moved in yet and when the house is not heated
the snow doesn't melt and can crush big spans
quite easily... :D
If 3 foot of snow dropped on the UK the entire country would grind to halt, we had a few inches not many years ago and people could not cope. The government ran out of grit for the roads within 24 hours and it was a complete shambles. If we are entering a new Maunder Minimum as some scientists are now saying most in the UK will struggle to survive. Personally I do not like the snow, not got the body fat to cope with it, and I am in favour of "Global Warming", pity it is a lie not backed by the data!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maunder_Minimum
Dear Chet.
Many thanks for the photos. The last time I personally saw snow that deep was the winter of 62/63. I was 7 years old !!
As EA says, these days Britain would grind to a halt !! Back then I still had to attend school.
Cheers Grum.
Here's a pic of my Brook [covered over with snow :o]
it runs through the whole pic from right to left at the treeline.
and one other building off to the side which still needs
clearing , gotta do "Moms" first >:(
speaking of which...heading back to Moms Now for more
toiling ....
so now you fellows know why I want to hide in
Mr Caribbeans suitcase when he goes to that balmy island... O0
Chet
Dear Chet,
thanks for sharing these pictures, beautiful and I like your place and I love the snow.

those yellow flowers are mimosa or am I mistaken. If it is, mine is fully out now, I will take a photo tomorrow
Not too warm here, well it did go up to 19c the other day :D, but today 14c and I'm feeling cold ;D
Did see snow here one year, lasted 24hrs only. Just 80km up the road there is half a meter and a ski resort, I can do sking and sun myself on the beach all in one hour :D :D :D

I might need to learn how to fly before the morning, we got a cat 4 cyclone expected to intensify to cat 5 cyclone "Marcia" should be here just before daylight, should get about a half a meter of rain from it as well as wind gusts up to 250 to 280 Kph maybe more if it keeps intensifying. This is when I'm glad I'm a fussy builder of buildings.
Sometimes the small ones are more damaging with the wind, but the big ones dump water like mad. This one is small but fairly intense wind gusts apparently.
Being dead on top of a mountain might be good because of less debris in the wind. Hopefully it'll calm down, and if it doesn't I hope nothing or no one gets killed or badly injured. Spare phone and a wind up torch/radio in my grab bag with a whole bunch of strong pain killers, they could be useful if someone is badly injured. I'll get a helmet, safety glasses that I can tape on O0 and prepare some makeshift body armor just in case I need to change my position.
Wow farmhand, keep your head down. My sister is in New Zeland at the moment but far enough away.
The weather all over the world is strange at the moment, here in Europe the winters are getting shorter but big extreams. Here in Spain we have had up to 1.5mtrs of snow this winter and it has taken a week the clear some roads to villages higher up.
Here where I am in Valencia it has been very mild, a good job as use less oil for heating.
regards
Mike 8)
The eye is still a couple of hundred Klm's from here, I'm south east of Rockhampton, the rain is really starting to come down now but it should be light before the strong winds get to near here so that's a lot better to begin with, but it has intensified to cat 5. There's another in the Gulf up north so we can compare notes later, hahaha.
Oh and there is an occasional odd sounding thunder clap, they don't rumble just like a single "boom". Cool.

FarmHand
I hope you did OK with the twister,they can be really Dicey...
I have rarely seen snow. Was a balmy 36deg here. Tinman, Farmhand and I form the Aussie triangle. We're each about 3 -4000 kms from each other. (https://scontent-lax.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/t31.0-8/1396881_10153298101272786_7053914285768814570_o.jpg) My sunrise.
Dear Jim.
Lovely photo, just wondering what that strange looking whitish Orange disc is ?? UFO ? :)
Cheers Grum.
Lol
Hi all, and wow that was an intense cyclone, the small town of Yeppoon right on the coast got the brunt at Cat 5 and the eye of the cyclone fairly much connected the dots between Yeppon then Rockhampton at Cat 3 then Here also at Cat 3 it was a bit different for us here on the mountain near Mt Morgan town, by the time the cyclone got here the eye had distorted into a south to north oval and we experienced the full force of the wind just on the edge of the eyewall for the entire time with no real letup it just got stronger and stronger and at first the winds from the east were only brief before they turned and we got about 1.5 hours of gusts up to seemed like about 180 to 220 Kph then the last 20 minutes or so were very destructive winds must have been over 250 Kph.
Lots of damage, only just got mobile service from the main carrier Telstra. Will be no grid power for maybe a week or more here, no injuries or casualties at all in this cyclone but after the one in NT a child got an electrical burn, 1 injury. Not bad considering the destruction and flooding. I only found 1 injured bird which was a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo, it's branch came down and it's head was flat on top and it was drenched and docile, but I wasn't sure if they naturally have a flat head or not so I put it in a cage and by morning it's feathers were all dry and it screamed at me while climbing the wire so I let it go and it flew off but hung around because it flock is away, seems fine.
I heard there was over 1000 spans of power lines down with trees on them across the entire destruction zone, and we are a small backwater place so we'll be low priority. Some people are falling to pieces because they must throwout their food and don't know what to do, "panicking", but I'll bet most of them have blown the cost of several generators over the past few years. Truckloads of generators are being sold like hotcakes. Even our generator suffered some kind of failure I think due to the horizontal rain. So we had to make do with a 2.2 KVA genny which we had to reclaim back from friends for a couple of days which is not wired up to the house so leads everywhere and didn't get it back till day after, I'm in an outbuilding so I'm just using battery lights and my Android Tablet with a TV dongle, I can watch TV for about 5 Watts. Because the grid tie solar array is out of service my small solar array charging batteries came in very handy first night with no power, the folks up at the house were chuffed when I took a battery and inverter up and turned on the telly for them to watch the news. ^-^ And to think they often make fun at me for my ways and insistence on having a bunch of big batteries always ready to use. A new 6 KVA genny was fired up today. So we're set again.
We have 35 000 liters of rain water, fresh eggs every day and animals to butcher if we need to but it won't come to that, we need them to keep the bush at bay.
I'll make up a short video of some of the more interesting footage I shot from my patio and side door during the early part of the cyclone, I didn't film the worst of it because it was just too dangerous, we got zero damage to buildings but next door is trashed and lost the roof. My TV antenna didn't even move on my Bunkhouse.
All my goat huts are all still in tact and without damage as well. The electric fence is a mess though. There is so much tree on the ground and it's so damn hot and humid the animals don't go anywhere, if they chose they could just walk away.
We are now Cat 3 cyclone rated at this residence we required no help, pity the infrastructure isn't, even too much rain ruins the show for power and phones.
Looks like the darn thing is heading back up north out to sea, it would not surprise me if it turned around and intensified again after getting some more warm water into it. Not sure when I'll be able to upload the footage everything is on and off and will be for some time.

@Grum,
Looks like you need to get your lawnmower out. :o

I stitched a short clip of the middle of the cyclone when the winds were not overly destructive. It was too dangerous to film the last 1/2 hour or so when all the real wild action was going on, after the wind died down I went to check my goats and they were already at work clearing the leaves and bark from the tree limbs that came down. Even the old wooden goat shack free standing all on it's own made from timber and tied together with # 8. wire "Cobb and Co." style is undamaged. My nice white car is now motley green stained by bruised and wet leaves stuck to it for four days.
At about 1:50 - 2:00 mins in the clip you can see the tree over in the paddock in the left of screen over the carport roof is bending almost to 90 degrees. On the front porch I was protected from the wind mostly but retreated when the door sucked shut.

PeeWee says hello.
Soon you'll be spending hours playing with him. Hopefully I'll get to see it on Skype.
Hey Grumage
I have a couple border collies Mishka and Milo... best dogs one could ever hope to have. They are on anything that crosses our fence line one behind the other and are very protective. On the other hand they are the most docile dogs I have had and while they may bark they have absolutely no aggressive tendencies. In fact many times I find the cats sleeping next to or even on top of the dogs. This a strange one as well, when the cats had kittens whenever a kitten strayed from the barn the dogs would pick them up by the scruff of the neck like a cat would and carry them to the front step then bark a few times. In the one picture I have a not bad hay crop and the dogs are out there keeping an eye on things, lol.

Oh... that doesn't sound too good. I really hope he's OK and just on vacation or something. It would be good to hear from him.
Just sent another Email
I will start looking much harder next week
Chet
I would not bother him too much for now, he probably has a lot on his mind, i am sure we will hear some news at some point.
All we can do right now is wish him a good recovery and hope he is on the mend.
Peter
It would not be that kind of bother or personal contact, ...
the recent passing of Mark E has frazzled me a bit and given Pause to
how we should act or treat each other in these mostly anonymous places.
and how would we ever know if someone passed on ??
as you are aware Groundloop stands out here and elsewhere with his contributions
and Kind heart, I truly have great affection for him and his work [as I am sure many here do].
to be clear It would just be a Closer "look" in places I don't even want to think about, never mind actually going thru the Process.
respectfully
Chet
Dear Peterae.
I have been wracking my brains out trying to remember Groundloop's home village then it suddenly dawned on me that we had been in the chatbox and he provided me a link to a site where he had his photos.
Are chatbox records kept ? Or do they disappear into the aether ?
Alex IS a great guy and I for one would like to see if we can get some more news about him.
Writing from experience of my own event, I was up and about 2 days later, and yes, having a crafty smoke underneath the hospital stairs !! >:-)
Cheers Grum.

Has there been any success in finding out what has happened to Groundloop?
No one has heard back from him, we have been trying much harder to reach him this last week ...
it would seem his phone numbers are not working at this time [all four].
??
Not done looking though.
Dear All.
I sent an email to Groundloop from my non Google ISP, I know he's got a " thing " about "G " !! No reply as yet.
Peterae, did you miss this post ? http://www.overunityresearch.com/index.php?topic=2783.msg52194#msg52194
Perhaps, if his location is known a simple call to the Police station would yield a result?
Cheers Grum.
I've got his postal address and gave that to Chet.
Phones not working, wow that dont sound good, hope he is OK
Another leed is being pursued ,will keep you posted.

Peter should have access.
Worst case they should still be stored in the database.
And what about ION ? I haven't seen him posting lately either and I heard he was feeling poorly too. Any news there?
ION Is doing much better after the surgery ,should be home in a few days.
send him a Pm .
Chet
PS
Good news On Groundloop ,He is still on the planet but has some very serious medical issues which need attention.
please keep him in your thoughts....
perhaps he may be able to update in the near future ?
My best To both.
So far the news is good. For both ION and GroundLoop.

Hi All
My condition is improving daily after surgery for a cancerous intestinal tumor, second one in three years.
Groundloop has a much worse condition, as open heart surgery is another matter entirely.
Thanks to all that sent best wishes and prayers, now we need to get them behind GL for procuring a transplant and a successful operation.
Kindest Regards
ION
Good to hear you are doing well ION O0
Wishes go to Groundloop for a speedy recovery as well.

Glad to here you are doing well, but cancer twice in three years is worrisome.
Open heart surgery? Yikes! Get well soon!
Geeze you blokes look after yourselves. I had my 50th party on the weekend. My sister made the cake and her husband made a jacobs ladder and homopolar motor to go with it.
Congratulations Jim, you are now officially a "codger" ! And may you have many more, and good health to enjoy them!
(Homopolar motor? Are you sure about that?)
I'm really glad to hear that Groundloop is still on the planet, and that ION is recovering well. My best wishes to them, and to all the rest of the fine folks young and old who make up this forum.
Dear Jim.
Many happy returns mate!!
I told the dogs about your cake. :)
Cheers Grum.
Thanks TK. I'm probably wrong about it being homopolar but he said he only cleaned one end of the coil, which did not make sense to me and I did not get a chance to chat with him about it. If there is no current running through it why is it spinning. Any way he's a sparky so I'll ask him next week. Incidentally protip for blowing out candles on a birthday cake that has a Jacobs ladder in close proximity. Don't lean your shoulder into the Jacobs ladder as 9000volts has a bit of a tickle.

Hey Jim
QuoteGeeze you blokes look after yourselves. I had my 50th party on the weekend. My sister made the cake and her husband made a jacobs ladder and homopolar motor to go with it.
Awesome cake Jim, I'm right behind you and turn 50 next month. It's strange how time just fly's by once we hit a certain age. We start to see "kids" who look like they should be in grade school driving cars, holding professional jobs and whooping it up in the bars, lol. I never thought I would be like this when I was almost 50 and in the last week and a half I installed 7000 sq/ft of metal roofing by myself on my house/garage and the neighbors. Not bad for an old fart about to turn 50 and to be honest I don't feel old yet. I mean I thought I would slow down and not be able to do all the things I used to be able to do but not much has changed in the last 20 years... I'm lucky and very thankful. I have come to believe old is relative and when we get tired of living and lose hope in the future and our abilities we get old...obviously we ain't there yet. I'm just as immature as I was 20 years ago and my wife can confirm this fact, lol.
In any case happy birthday Jim and may all of us have many more.

Yeah at first I thought it was one of those motors but with the battery revealed it looked like the magnet was in series like a simple homopolar where you hang the screw off the magnet & battery. I'll find out what the hell he was talking about. At the time.. lets just say I was not a reliable witness. >:-)
All,
i just received a phone call from Groundloop.
He is still in the hospital, but doing reasonable well and will have a laptop computer any time soon.
He will be able to post himself on this forum then, so this is very good news.
Regards Itsu
OOH
That puts a very big smile on my face...
Thank you so much for that news !!
Dear Itsu.
Many thanks for sharing the news about dear Groundloop. Great to hear he's in a stable condition. O0
Cheers Grum.
Great news, Thanks Itsu O0
:D
That's very good to hear O0 and yes the portable will be good company for him I think.

Mike 8)
Good to hear, indeed! Get well soon GL! :)
My laptop was invaluable in whiling away the empty hours while I was recently hospitalized. Typing at a weird angle was a bit rough on the stitches, tho.
Get well, best wishes GL.
Good to hear folks are on the mend best wishes to them for a good recovery.
My own situation is going to change, I must leave the farm. The (black sheep) being myself cannot continue to reside with ignoramuses suffering from cognitive dissonance. Hopefully within a week or two I will be set up in another residence, then it will take me about a month to recover due to all my degenerated discs and failed cervical (neck) fusion (ACDF). By recovered I mean able to function without experiencing torturous pain after just driving my car for 30 minutes. Heavy pain will accompany me to my end as I will not take all the heavy drugs the doctors say I need, if I would take all the pills I am supposed to I would be like a zombie, or to better explain it I would be completely off my face 24/7. It's bad enough that after certain activities the pain becomes so bad it causes me to go into shock, then I have no real choice but to take the opioids and tranquilizers (muscle relaxants).
I had ross river fever and it went undiagnosed as my existing spinal problems cause such pain that the medico's blame everything on that. I also had a serious stomach issue (infection) that only resolved when I demanded a course of antibiotics for an apparent ear infection, they were blaming my stomach pain on the medications they gave me for the spine pain, but the medications were not to blame, the problem resolved after the antibiotic course but they still have no explanation about it and do care to give one or find one.
Sad thing is that many others are being abused by the medical system here as well. Many people call it the (Health Care system) I call it the (Health Don't Care system). Most of the people who call themselves health care professionals lack empathy and caring and some are simply cruel and careless as well as lazy and immune to any discipline following incidents of harming patients and/or simply failing to diagnose and treat serious medical problems.
Then they wonder why patients get frustrated and cause problems, on top of that the health "don't" care workers then blame the patients for their frustrations and label them as aggressive so as not to have to deal with them as well as impede any treatment that is needed. I have never been aggressive or violent with any health don't care worker ever, they are finding it difficult to continue with the problem patient line because I am now recording all interactions with them. Just the mention that I have recordings of past visits where problems have been caused by them is enough to shut their mouths about it. They deny that one of them would say a certain thing to me or any patient but I have proof that they have and do. The evidence is accumulating. I will soon be demanding to videotape via a bodycam all doctors visits and hospital visits so that i have evidence of what happens.
I am so disappointed with the lack of understanding and help from my own family that I intend to change my family name and disown all but one of them. My given name is who I am and who I am known as, so I will change my family name to the Swedish equivalent of my first given name. My oldest brother also has neck problems as he actually got his neck broken playing Rugby League, he understands in some way my issues but he got fixed up and even though his neck was fractured he got better, although he does have a degenerated disc. I have at least two additional ruptured discs in my neck as well as two discs removed and a fusion done to repair two discs that were completely "gone" from between the bones and squished toward and impinging on my spinal cord, I also have degenerated discs in my upper back as well as two very badly ruptured discs in my lower back. I can only describe the pain involved in all these problems acting up at the same time as Hell on Earth, My fingers and hands go numb, sometimes my legs stop working and I just have to go down and assume the fetal position for a time, luckily for me when my legs go it begins with a weird feeling in my pelvis which gives me warning that I must decompress my lower back immediately or I will end up on the ground involuntarily. Just recently even the right side of my face goes numb similar to after having a dental injection, kinda feels like just before the effect of the dental injection wears off, from the corner of my mouth to my ear. A bit disconcerting by not painful, it does cause me to bite the inside of my mouth though. grrrr
Such is Life. It's the only life I've got so I'm keeping it no matter what may come. If I am careful there can be some periods of relative productivity. However no more production here from me. They can do their own work now. From now on all my work will be for my own gains as the price fro me to do 8 hour work is high in both suffering and time incapacitated afterwards.
Stay healthy and look after your neck and back.
I rationalize my situation and condition by thanking the heavens that I am not in Iraq or Syria. At least I won't see my family/friends blown all over the place by some cowards bomb.
...
Dear Farmhand.
I can only convey my sympathies to you. I have watched, from the other side of the fence, my wife's constant battle with pain. Like you, opiates make her so ill that the pain is a better option !!
Keep your chin up...... My wife is forever saying that there are far more people with worse situations...... But it's a bummer non the less.
My best wishes to you, Grum.
Aye, I "second" and ditto what Grum has written.
The World Condition is deteriorating rapidly in
response to the activities and provocations of
the U.S. and The West. We may all find ourselves
in situations similar to FarmHand's sooner than
we may believe possible. It will be challenging to
maintain one's sense of dignity and aplomb after
the dung hits the fan...
Spine problems and and significant chronic severe pain is difficult thing to manage, for a long time I hid most of my pain and nerve numbness from most people and for different reasons. By hiding my symptoms I kind of precluded myself from treatment as well. I like to work and do manual labour. Then when things go real bad it is difficult to explain why all of a sudden I am unable to do work, and then when animals need to be tended it just has to be done. I takes a certain amount of resolve to pick up the chainsaw and cut down a tree to feed the goats when it feels like I've had my ribs kicked in and my head twisted backwards. When I use the chainsaw I can feel the vibration amplified in the bad area's of my neck and if I move the wrong way my neck makes a clunk similar to the feeling of bending a finger too far backwards and I get some pain immediately but I know that when that happens I suffer for weeks with mind bending neck issues that also involves numbness and reduced function in my hands.
But if I have been careful for a while I can a lot of stuff but not anything that vibrates too much, I like to dig holes with crowbars ( Dumped has seen a video of me and my goat making some holes to put in a gate on a 40 degree day) I love doing that stuff but now I feel as though If I walk outside I get frustrated because all I can see is stuff that needs to be done or fixed but I can't really do it. There are others here that could do it but they just try to wait for me to do it.
eg. the hay feeding area for the goats ( for when it gets bone dry like now ) was getting a layer of waste hay and goat manure about 1 or 2 inches deep which if it gets rained on turns into a real mess that must be seething with worms and parasites. I see the sky, I know it will rain that night so I just go and rake it all up and burn it,the next day the ground is all wet but it is clean with three flat patches of black and white ash from all the shite, Job done, not rocket science but it's just the kind of activity that really makes me hurt in all places at once. Using a brushcutter to clear fence lines and stuff is like paying for 3 days of torture a day before it starts with full knowledge of what is in store for me.
In a way I am fortunate that I can handle the opiods and valium without becoming dependent or addicted I'm always stopping taking them whenever I can, If I didn't I would need higher and higher doses due to tolerance. If I take too much valium I get severe hiccups which is not good for my neck because the valium relax the muscles then the hiccups jerk my head around and crunch my neck. If I take too much opiates I feel as though if I lay down I will expire due to slow down to a stop kind of thing, that causes me to force myself to stand up half the night and keep myself awake. I simply cannot follow a "take these pills at this time kind of prescription" my scripts must say "take as needed up to x amount per day max" or similar.
Then the problem arises that people say if you go for so long not needing any pills then why do you need them now. I genuinely try to explain why but usually only people who get severe pain for many years on end understand it.
Sometimes I try to hide bad pain just so I get along with others in a normal way without being on pills.
I think just before I had my neck operation I had a kind of premonition. I said to the sister in pre op prep clinic that if the operation worked I would miss the pain in a strange way as it had been my constant companion for so long.
As it turned out the pain only left me for about two and a half weeks after the operation, In those two weeks I felt better than i could ever remember feeling, then I yawned raised my arms and had a powerful stretch and pop pop crunch' something else gave way at the base of my neck and in my upper back between my shoulder blades, they say I damaged the disc above and below the fusion but no explanation for the upper back crunching and popping, I look at the MRi's and I can see the same signs in my upper back as I seen in the MRi's of my neck with the ruptured discs.
Which brings me to my point and the point your good wife makes Grum, many people have it worse than me, some get no pills or anything even here in Australia, and in the U.S. as well the medico's like to try to ignore neck disc issues and just label them as "soft tissue injuries". In other words no broken bones so your ok there is nothing wrong with you, then 10 years later an operation is needed to fix the problem that didn't exist. They know but they deny it.
Many people in my boat and many jump overboard because they cannot take it and deal with the medical peoples BS at the same time.
I'll keep my chin up for sure and they can try but they won't drug me out of my senses.
I like to have a rant every now and then about it, it stiffens my resolve.
It is conceivable to me that people with serious untreated pain could go nuts and hurt other people. or turn to illegal drugs for pain relief which is so expensive if the person does not work then some kind of crime is inevitable I guess.
I know it is selfish to think but I often envy people who get sick get treated and get better. I know that will never happen for me now, I'm a realist but I'm also an optimist. It's my fate I'll accept it and make the best of it. I have plans to make money in the city "legally of course" I think I can make enough to keep myself in toys anyway. I need $4500.00 to buy a 1983 Yamaha IT 490 2 stroke scrambler/enduro bike, with that i can get all the adrenaline I want, it's a bike that can be registered for the road, but a very capable scrambler. MY AG 100 farm bike just doesn't get the adrenaline flowing, especially with the dog on the tank. hahaha.
When I get my chooks and garden set up in town I'll get pics to show. At least in the city I'll be able to pay people to do things for me. And sack them if they don't work. lol.
A new experience is about to begin. I'm looking forward to it. I have a lot of diverse skills to draw upon.
..
Maybe some piccies to lighten the mood. I had to take my dog to the vet to get micro chipped so he is no longer an outlaw dog he's registered and legal for the city. Before and after shearing pics. ;D
There's some pics of the growth progress of my nerve medicine. >:-) It's growing like crazy. Virginia..... I mean Iceberg lettuce. ;)
And a pic of some of my home made high quality Rheumatiz Medsin out of the little barrel at 150 proof and aged for only 1 month, smaller barrel should take only 1 year to age the contents well enough :D It's already smooth and tastes great.
.
P.S. Tip for transplanting seedlings of pretty much any crop type plants for those interested, transplant in the afternoon in hot climates, transplant on or near to the full moon, raise the seedlings in destroyable potlets (little pots) so that the potlets can be cut carefully away from the dirt and roots, (I used thick paper disposable coffee cups with drainage holes punched in the bottom) when I transplanted them I just carefully cut the bottom off of the potlets with small robust scissors then cut from top to bottom down one side, then just place the plant in the hole fill in around the cut potlet lightly with soil then just pull the potlet out by the top rim even up the soil but don't push down very hard and the soil and delicate roots remain undisturbed pretty much. No transplant shock. Water with a very weak liquid fertilizer mix if the soil may be lacking in nutrients. Play early Rock music to the plants like Pink Floyd, Cake, Queen ect. and Boom nutso growth. Haha kidding about the music but that's what they got.
I might try an experiment by running a feeble current through three pots in series, my concern is if they already have very good growing conditions there might not be much difference for the trouble. I would use a battery and solar panel, regulated to some mA of current.
.
Ahh, Farmhand... take care of yourself and don't push it. It's probably for the best that you do retire from the strenuous farm work. The farm chores have to be done, the animals can't be neglected, but it's better now that someone else takes over the duty.
You sound like you are in pretty good spirits nevertheless, and I'm sure your little Jack appreciates your love and returns it. Hang in there mate, you do good work and we are all pulling for you in spirit anyway, fwiw.
Cheers--

(And hoist a glass of that rheumatism remedy for me, I have aches and pains too!)
I'm fine TK, thanks for the kind words. It's funny how life goes. Some months ago my Father died, I just recently got my inheritance, it consists of a $1.00 coin wrapped in a plastic bag stapled to a legal letter, I carry it around in my car with me, haha. I never wanted any of anyone else's money, and I think everything should go to his wife since he is long divorced from my mother and estranged from myself. I intend to legally give the $1.00 dollar back to the other beneficiaries of the will as the way I see it they cannot force me to keep it. Would be funny to see them all try to split up a $1.00 coin. O0 I see it as an insult, although I understand the legal purpose of it, I reject it.
All good. It's a shame that just changing my name cannot completely divorce me of my family except for my son of course, he is a good lad, I don't foresee him ever being in my current position.
Only days from securing my new residence. A week to move all my stuff a couple of weeks to recover, then I give in to the almighty dollar myself and will probably develop an obsession with gathering cash money. It's a tendency I usually try to ignore. But I think I will begin to feed it. >:-) I hope to keep my empathy in tune but very selective.
..
P.S. I have an ingenious way to undermine a few peoples silliness at one time. My Son carries his mothers "maiden" Surname. Which is Anderson, my First given name is Andrew, the Swedish Surname "Anders" is more or less the English version of "Andrews". And the surname "Anderson" more or less means the son of "Ander", so If I change my Surname to "Anders" I'll be "Andrew Anders" and my Son will be "xxxxx Anderson" Perfect. He will be the Son of Andrew by Name Anyway no matter, even if I do nothing, but if I change my name as mentioned then it will make a lot more sense. O0 I'll have to OK it with him as he is an independent man himself and he may wish to change his name himself.
We are both a pair of "black sheep of the families" because we are normal non programmed humans.
I don't want to change my handle from Farmhand to Cityboy or anything though.

I know the feeling! My Navy years were exciting and extremely

I've been a city dweller for all of my adult life (when not living aboard

Good Movie Matt, may I ask. What is a Dixie cup ? Please forgive my ignorance. ??? ???
muDped, I'll miss the animals I leave behind and worry about them for a while, but I'll come back to check on them,
I do think that once I'm gone other people might do the chores sooner, rather than wait for me to do them.
Hopefully due to all the arguments they may have picked up enough information to keep and raise healthy animals.
At one stage after some learning and a bit of work I was raising goats that could be mistaken for ponies if it were not for the horns,
the wethers which should be for eating at 12 to 18 months grow huge if good practices are followed.
And layer hens so quiet they would stand on your hand or shoulder or whatever. I sold one batch of 12 because I had too many
and then the same people would ring up regularly wanting to buy more of them or order them pre hatching because everyone
that seen them wanted some as well. but it isn't that simple, I couldn't raise them like that purposely for sale,
only for productive and easy to handle animals for myself, the goats don't trust strangers anyway some chooks can be like that as well.

Quite all right. I didn't know what it was either until I was issued one.
Yes, I would like to be on a farm, but I have a feeling these days I would be a vegetarian. If I had animals, it would be my goal to protect them and care for them, as well as the earth from which all life comes.
OK now I get it, being Australian I pictured him wearing a (bucket of chicken) type fast food container on his head, or some kind of "jewel" protector. hehe
Just for the sake of mentioning it I have a second you tube channel mainly for showing some things I've learned using android devices that could be useful to other "older" people who have until recently resisted smartphones and such.
I've tried Windows phones and Android phones but won't touch an Apple phone unless in an emergency, only four video's so far, all Android tips nothing spectacular, and there will never be adds if I can help it. I've had very little time but as I show real live people things I'll probably make clips about those things. Because the channel carries my Google plus Name which is my actual name I will not give any links to the channel here, anyone interested in a look, just pm me and if I'll link the channel for them in pm or work something out. I might parallel the video's on one of my google drives or something. Giving oneself "root access" on an Android phone makes them fun even more useful and interesting.
I'm in the process of trying to make my motorola's play an automated message to the caller "this conversation will be recorded, if you do NOT consent hang up now" and then begin recording, at which time I can talk if the person didn't hang up and legally record the phone call both ways. I want to do this so I can record the garbage some people speak over the phone at me then lie about what they said. My preference would be if troublemakers or scammers would just hang up.
Having some trouble with creating variables. No time to learn just now.
Also Google has a viable alternative to Skype called Hangouts, it can work from Chrome browser, Gmail or an app on a regular computer and also on android and Apple phones.

Aye, as was I. It wasn't until I finally got to Viet Nam in
'72 that it was possible to see how the world was being
massively deceived by a corrupted America. I was beginning
to understand how warped The District was after having
lived inside the beltway for nearly a year while attending
language school. D.C. was looney tunes then too.
The Republic and The Constitution have been dead for a
long time...
muDped, you would have had one of those "Dixie Cups" wouldn't you ? Would they be only Navy Issue ?
They look Navy.
..
Aye, I wore the "Dixie Cup" (officially identified as the
White Hat) for the first nine years of my Naval service.
I was also issued the "Flat Hat" with my first seabag
Feb. 1960
The Flat Hat was never worn for duty or liberty since some
time prior to 1960 but was still issued with the seabag.
My avatar photo is with my Flat Hat. It was taken at a
photo shop in Koza City, Okinawa in early 1964. After the
photo shoot that day I gave the hat away to an Okinawan
who wanted it as a souvenir.
The hats were Navy issue but were also available in clothing
stores in Navy port cities. An outfit called Seafarer (https://www.seafarer.com/) made
uniforms and accessories as alternatives to the Navy
issue. Seafarers (http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/137346-us-navy-liberty-sewn-uniform-by-seafarer-uniforms-ny/) were very popular with many career
sailors as they conveyed that "salty" look.
Seafarer also made Navy working uniforms (dungarees)
which were incredibly popular. The bell bottom dungaree (http://www.prlog.org/10187823-seafarer-navy-bellbottom-dungarees-available-at-red-bank-surplus.html)
was much saltier looking than the standard Navy issue.
The Seafarer dungaree is getting very hard to find
nowadays. (http://www.ebay.com/itm/VTG-Seafarer-Dungaree-Flare-Bell-Bottom-Denim-Jeans-US-Navy-Sailor-Talon-Zipper-/321911246646?hash=item4af367cf36:g:fosAAOSwT5tWOXU6)

Unfortunately I'll be even more pressed for time and money, I had a major road accident today and it seems it was my fault. Blackout from lack of sleep, and long drives alone. Must have been one of those micro sleeps because I remember nothing but a face full of air bag then a face full of steering wheel when the car hit the embankment after the collision. For the last two weeks I've had about 2 1/2 hours sleep per night due to of course not being able to sleep in a lot of discomfort due to all the driving. I apparently left my side of the road on a left hand bend (in Aus that means the other traffic is on the outer lane of the bend, I went kinda straight ahead and the other car could not avoid me without leaving the road himself. Luckily we are both ok since we were both driving commodores and he managed not to take me head on just missed the front, but I took his wheel off and destroyed his door and the entire side of his car, my car tehe front right wheel got folded under the car, not so bad, no passengers, thank the heavens for no serious injuries. My insurance should cover it but I am taking prescription drugs so if they decide the level was too high then I get no insurance and must pay for his car as well, both are write off's. I must have just blacked out because I don't remember feeling drowsy or anything. I'm thinking a zone out from severe lack of sleep. I should not have been driving but it was paying up day for the new residence. And I felt ok. Anyway my neck is a bit sore but i couldn't take the hospital BS and just left, They were planning on taking forever, but I've hurt my neck much worse at home then go to the hospital and they don't want to help me.
The witness behind said a white four wheel drive forced me off the road, but the other driver denies seeing one. I remember nothing from about 1 klm back down the road so the airbag cover did a job on my forehead, the nurse said one pupil is bigger than the other, and I said oh well I've had that before, I know it means probable/possible brain damage. And it is bigger but only by about 1 mm in diameter total. I'll be fine I've seen one pupil almost twice the size of the other after a bad head knock. I got better. My main issue is to try to get the guys car fixed/replaced and find out his condition, then try to work out or contact the witness following him, she even said the 4 Wheel drive just kept going. Maybe not my fault, but still I feel as though I will have to wear it regardless. I don't remember any white four wheel drive but I don't remember the 1 klm before that collision either. Cop said he would come to interview me later some time. tomorrow I guess he'll call me.
Funny thing, I sign the house contract and get the keys tomorrow on Friday the 13th. Maybe I got possessed, the guy said it looked like I was after him. lol. I'll need to ring the cops to get his details for insurance.
OH well all are safe enough, so I cannot be too worried about it. worry won't help.
Now I'll be living in town I won't drive unless they can control my pain without the heavy drugs and help me get more than 2 hours sleep, even at 0.2 BAC I cannot sleep hardly at all.
My poor car, 2001 model 14 years old and only 90 000 klm on the clock. I bet his had about 300.000 for a 2005 model.
..
Its only Iron
thank God no one was seriously hurt or killed.
do they test sleep apnea in your country?, you just described a very big symptom [nodding off in milliseconds]
as well as sleeplessness .
google it if not, the fix is under a hundred bucs ,air pump thingy on EBay or similar, you can even get them for free in the right cases
No it's chronic pain is why I can't sleep, it led to the arguments that caused me to have to leave the farm, no one believes it because I am not a sook and I can only vocalise the issues, I still stand up straight with my lower back in bad pain because I don't want to seem as though I want Pity, but some empathy from the people around me would go a long way, I accept responsibility for my part whatever that may be when I find out but, but no one else will accept any part in the lead up causes. The severe lack of sleep was due me having to drive 35 klm each way every day for almost 2 weeks with only 2 hours sleep per night after the first day of driving, however I really had no choice as once started the process of trying to secure a residence that is suitable for me is constant, if there is something I need to do in town tomorrow then I need to do it.
For instance, I have to ask for a lift that takes about 2 hours of someone's time or walk 5 k's to catch the bus to rocky so I can sign the contract and get the keys to the new residence, I doubt I would get 5 klms first thing in the morning before my legs gave out from my lower back disc collapse. Still after the accident and taking a full compliment of pain and muscle relaxant medication, I got about 3 hours 20 minutes sleep. Just two more weeks of moving and I can have a rest. But today it's 3:30 am, I have to wait 4 or 5 hours just for everyone else to wake up.
Once I'm in town I can get a friend to help me with the first few trips of moving stuff. I simply should not have driven more than one or two days per week, but then I would never get place. I don't like second guessing past finding out what actually happened, an event happened, the people involved need to deal with it and then move on. Could take a while to deal with, but I'll be posting from my new address tomorrow so life goes on.
I'm not superstitious but the move in date (Friday the 13th) and the fact that the other car had a 666 number plate seems like an odd coincidence.
Modern cars are fairly safe if they hit another modern car or a flattish surface. I went back to the scene, and I think he might have crossed to my side of the road. Hugging the bend. No way I can argue anything with no memory of it. Cop's should sort it out.
Could be worse at least I'm not stuck in Iraq or Syria ect. But if the insurance won't pay I'll be out 20 000 at the least.
Such is Life.

Many thanks Podnah!! :)
How were you able to do it?
Quote from: FarmHand
Such is Life.
Aye, that it is! Many of us have recently been overcome by
un-anticipated difficulties which are a heavy burden.
The "numbers" in your case give one pause for thought...
Insurance claim is lodged. I feel bad for the guy, he has a job but he has no insurance for the car, his car was a 2008 VE SS Ute (a special model Holden), I haven't looked at the book values yet but mine is insured for 5000, I doubt i can replace it considering the very low klms I had on the clock only 90 000 klms travelled. His car being a special model may not be replaceable so he would likely get book value or an over estimate if customised.
My air bag actually ruptured and released the contents, no one can tell me if that is normal or not, another search I guess.
I have dash cam footage of the event, it's kinda shocking, he had no way of knowing there was a problem until I began to cross the lines, then he tried to avoid me but had no time or space to do it. Basically I drove into him like a train.
I think my hands must have even dropped of the steering wheel because I have a neat bruise on each arm about 2 inches back from my thumbs and my thumbs are not sore I always drive with both hands and I lay my thumbs on top of the steering wheel "spoke" if you can call it that, so I should have sore thumbs if my hands were on the wheel. I claim total blackout and my hands dropped of the steering wheel, then on impact they would have swung forward and hit the steering wheel on the bottom quadrants of the wheel, hence the bruises on the tops of my arms back from my thumbs.
He is ok, and I am glad that the main impact was taken in the front corners of the cars, by trying to avoid me he actually took the risk of me hitting his door and him, he says it seemed like I was accelerating. WOW.
I don't even remember seeing any cars coming in the other direction the impact or anything, I originally thought I could not remember back 1 klm but that was to the previous concrete culvert, as it turns out I remember going into the culvert (that's it end of memory until stopped after collision) however I then travelled about 300 or 400 meters directly in a straight line until impact, and I remember none of that at all. I rang the police and offered the cam footage as well as I want to show them my arm bruises. My dash cam footage might make it onto an add for road safety.
Thanks be to the heavens. The car behind him had children in it, and that would have devastated me, people would definitely have been hurt if I had hit the next car following him.

P.S. My car worth almost $10 000, his car worth about $20 000, 30 grand plus down the tube, I'm upset because I ruined two good Holdens. :'( Don't make em any more. Or soon won't be.
sleep deprivation can cause this , the lack of REM sleep causes these types of black outs, whether your not sleeping due to Pain or sleep apnea[which you have no idea if you have it]
Sleep Apnea can kill you due to the interruptions it causes in the sleep cycle, My Dad was diagnosed with a bad heart Valve 5 years ago[at 75] ,they checked him for sleep apnea and found he had sleep Apnea ,put him on the Machine at night [simple breathing thingy I mentioned] and Now he no longer has any heart valve symptoms.
your Body fixes all this stuff at night when you get the appropriate sleep, when you don't ??
not good !!
I know allot about pain Myself ,having been struck By a Drunk driver as a kid I have spent a lifetime in Pain, there are other ways to manage it besides pain killers [ which may interrupt REM sleep too].
perhaps this incident will lead to a solution for your sleeplessness ?
I agree it is torture to have no good rest at night.
and to be clear I did want to share this info on Apnea ..because I personally had no idea how devastating it could be [to the heart and other organs] ,and your experience is a symptom [instant blackouts] as well as unusual and unexplainable fatigue .
respectfully
Chet
Ps
Only you rear view camera link worked for me ,very scary indeed how fast you blacked out,.
For some reason that video is still processing you can download the clip and it plays fine. The camera records in MJPEG so I transcoded them to H264 MP4, I'll try uploading a different format for that clip.
I hear ya chet the reason for me moving to town mainly is so I can access medical services, I understand about the sleep apnea but I'm talking about acute serious pain but it's not always mind and body bending pain, however when it is I go into shock without some kind of pain killers, if I go to the hospital they pump me full of it and send me home tell me to go to the GP and get some pain pills so that I don't end up at the emergency dept. in pain shock. Very difficult situation for me to deal with as all the medico's are all full of advice but if something goes wrong I am responsible. I'm not one of them I accept responsibility for my actions whatever the consequences may be.
To get the medical sevices I need I have to move to the city, to move to the city I need to drive in to the city everyday for as long as it takes to get the job done, driving is what causes me to get serious pain later that night, and I'm talking I feel like I should call an ambulance type pain. I'm no sook, as long as I don't go into shock or close to it I can deal with the pain and others would hardly know, except if I go too long it takes longer to recover and I risk the pain shock thing, by that stage the pain is so great it is sickening. The pills stop the pain from hurting but I can still feel the problem and often that is a very sickening feeling in itself.
I got the scan and it looks like the fusion let go a while back and there is some bone growth towards my throat, which explains why it is difficult to swallow again. Just can't help bad luck.
P.S. For some reason the front camera clip won't "hyperlink' automatically, so just copy and paste the URL to a new tab seems to work. .
Geez FH take care mate. If you didn't live in QLD I'd suggest growing some pain relieving herbs.
Here's what I got up to on Thurs night. Thought some of you would find this amusing.

Haha, furniture and wiring is temporary but the entertainment wall is functioning at about 75% so far.
The Birds in the city are bold, the Willy Wag Tail birds up on the mountain would never come this close to a person, but they do ride on the goats and other animals and attack the cats up there, but in the city they seem to decide if an area is safe and just take risks. I like to watch the Wag Tails they are cool birds.

Ahh, Farmhand... take care of yourself and don't push it. It's probably for the best that you do retire from the strenuous farm work. The farm chores have to be done, the animals can't be neglected, but it's better now that someone else takes over the duty.
You sound like you are in pretty good spirits nevertheless, and I'm sure your little Jack appreciates your love and returns it. Hang in there mate, you do good work and we are all pulling for you in spirit anyway, fwiw.

(And hoist a glass of that rheumatism remedy for me, I have aches and pains too!)
My bold.
I hoisted a few for ya on the weekend, the bottle on the left holds the spirit as it comes out of the little charred Oak barrel at 75 to 80% ABV the other two bottles are the result of mixing 50-50 with distilled water to get a spirit of between 37.5 and 40 % ABV, it certainly looks the part and tastes really nice, like sweet Jack Daniels. It was a part molasses brew so that would explain the sweetness and the barrel gives the spirit some vanillas and caramels as well, I like it, it is smoother than stuff from the pub and I do not get a hangover from it. It is triple distilled, and before the last distillation I did use some Bi-carb soda to convert some acetic acids if there was any left. It seems to have worked.
A funny thing happens when I mix the distilled water with the 160 proof spirit, very small bubbles form and the entire bottle gets a bit warm, then after about 10 minutes the contents is normal and behaves as it should when shaken up. I thought i was imagining it at first but it is happening.
.
If ya have a "Sip/nip" of the stuff on the left then within about 3 to 5 minutes = no Rheumatism bingo, umm two and no face feels like for a bit. lol. I use the stuff on the right with coke normally 90 ml to 410 ml of coke and ice works. O0 A can of coke is 375 ml. I use 500 ml Jars for glasses because I am poor.
All the color and most of the flavor comes from the 1 month in the barrel, the ambient temp is up to 35 or more centigrade during the day and the barrel sometimes exudes a thick sweet bourbon smelling liquid from the stopper and the tap if the stopper is too tight. Works out to about $3.00 per 700 ml bottle much better than $30.00 for Cougar which is cheap stuff anyway, mine is better, more like Jack Daniels with hint of Southern Comfort or similar. Another trick that I did not use but works for a smoothing agent for neutral spirit or "Vodka" is adding a tad of Glycerine (for cooking from the supermarket- Not Nitro ;D ) to the bottled end product. I have not tried that yet and not sure if would I want to add anything to a good neutral spirit but the commercial guys do.
All Strictly for Medicinal use only of course. And it works for
several ailments including insomnia and digestive issues as well it thins the blood, in the mid morning is the danger time for blood pressure type events. And a shot the night before bed may help keep the blood thin enough to prevent some issues,
much like how asprin is used. I took great care to make the medicinal spirit as pure as I could with triple distillation and cutting out the "heads" and "Tails" harshly so as to only collect the best of the distillate at at least 160 proof, so as to get good results from the American White Oak barrel Charred inside all proper and the barrel is also baked beforehand I'm told, to ready the wood. They did a good job it works wonderfully even in a hot climate, maybe the hot climate helps to "age" or "condition" the spirit quicker in the small barrel. Small barrel = more barrel surface area per liter as well. Bigger barrels the liquid has less contact with the wood ect.
Barrel is refilled immediately of course with more of the same input. Ready for Xmas. >:-) No Pain Xmas Day for me.
At 75 to 80 % the spirit can be used as fuel in a spirit burner.
.
Your "lesson" on barrels and their use is very
informative FarmHand! Although I've made
my fair share of spirit by fermentation I've never
yet aged any in one of those barrels. I must one
day give it a try.
Something tells me it might be a very, very
useful skill to possess if and when the "collapse"
comes upon us...
Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see an
interesting video which shows how the barrels are
made. (http://www.independentstavecompany.com/page.asp?id=16)
Getting the char done is quite a skill too. (http://www.iscbarrels.com/char-options)
It is an amazing thing to see happening the changes in the spirit as it "reacts" with the wood. Of course ethanol is a powerful solvent and so if the distillate is higher proof then the flavors are different slightly, depending on the "proof" of the distillate decides a fair bit the final flavor, and of course the period the spirit stays in the barrel and how often it is turned and the ambient temp as well as the temp differentials all play a part. One thing is for sure the ethanol and the wood combining do most to impart the flavor.
Not sure if I showed the barrel but anyway here you can see the thick almost black liquid being forced from the barrel around the stopper, there the ethanol has direct access to the grain of the timber as well. The stopper has a leather seal around it. They are expensive for the small ones but get cheaper per liter as the size goes up, I think if I can get a 5 liter barrel as well I will be really happy because I could age more spirit for a longer period, 5 Liters sounds just right for me. They only work for a certain amount of refills I guess.
I suppose if I don't clean it off or put it back inside the barrel I run the risk of the liquid setting into a hard or very sticky state. It's a cute little thing, a piece of artwork from the makers, i congratulate them.
They come with Steel hoops like I got or brass hoops, also they can be varnished outside or unvarnished, I chose unvarnished for the traditional aspect of it, didn't want a varnished barrel. Might get brass hoops on the next one.
Quite right muDped, it is a very useful skill, and I will be teaching my son all the necessary steps when he comes to stay in January. Right from brewing with bakers yeast to distillation and conditioning the spirit. I have written down for him the ingredients and method of fermenting so far as I do it. Maybe too much to teach so I need to write down the finer points as I do it like acid levels in the ferment ect. and what to do about it. There are a few sites that help a lot with "Home Distillation of Alcohol". I believe the bi-Carb soda trick comes from an old homesteading handbook.
Here is most of my new allotment of workable ground. Due to "Aspect" There is a small area along the left wall that should get enough sun in winter time to grow tomatoes or some appropriate veggies. I guess I could use about half of it in summer if I needed to. I'll probably make at least one big L shaped raised bed around the left and back fence. Gotta produce something. O0

I want to see the rooster!
No Roosters allowed in town, I had to put my old Rooster down not long before I moved, I think he blew a valve or got a snake bite or something he was unable to crow and seemed in great pain so I set him free from his body. And my allotment is too small in Square meters to keep chickens, but I might try to keep three of my Layer chooks as soon as I can get the small Dog cage/ chicken coop down here from the mountain. There is a perfect spot for the coop in a corner under a mango tree where there is shade all day in summer. It will all depend on the neighbors, if they complain I'll have to take the chooks back to the mountain, If they don't complain they might get some free yummy eggs. I'll have to get quiet ones so that means no black chooks which is a shame they perform very well and live longer.
If I get little chicks or incubate some eggs and raise the chickens from little chicks to chooks then the neighbors might get used to them better than if I just bring some full grown chickens here and they start to cluck and lay eggs there will be a sudden change in the usual noises so people will notice. I'll probably buy four chicks. At least here I can set up an auto feeder and water nipples for ease of caring for them and to keep rodents from eating the chickens feed, open chook feed containers at night attract rodents and the rodents attract snakes, but try to tell that to some people and you get accused of being a smart arse and people infer that I am calling them stupid, (which I probably am in a way if they cannot see the sense of it). it is what it is I guess. >:(

Well it seems the tobacco plants are doing ok even though they had a rough start and got moved, took a while to sun harden them as it is the middle of summer here. I can see that the two in the smaller pots are stunted, of course. Even the larger pots are not big enough I need 20 Large pots or I need to make a large raised bed or two. Flowers and seeds are coming, I've chosen two plants that resisted the bugs best and got good bushy growth but not too tall for the amount of leaf on them and will collect seeds from them, I let one early bloomer go to seed just in case there is a bad storm and they all get damaged, that way I'll get some seeds soon I hope. Later for the seeds from the better plants. One plant in particular was really picked on by the grubs, it must be susceptible to bugs and so no seeds from it. The plants themselves (the better ones) are about 5 1/2 feet tall not including the pot. Soon one of the big trees will be cut down and so more sun for the garden. It's Virginia type. First time growing tobacco. I've learned some tricks for growing it here, next time will be better. I'll get a few ounces if I can ferment it properly, testing now and making a fermenting chamber and stuff. Time to organize a veggie plot soon.
Oh I found out by deduction then asking the other neighbor that next door on one side lives a Hooker, 3 to 5 clients per day, every week day. lol. It is legal here. So she is a good neighbor, I hardly ever see her and she is quiet. All the other neighbors seem ok, on the other side next door wants to buy all my stuff. Just down the road is a Bikie haunt/business and across the road is all businesses, a huge boarding house just down the lane that used to be a Nunnery, so some down and outers there. I fit in and go largely unnoticed. Just the way I like it.
And I've got a set of almost hidden roms under the house which used to be a terrarium or aquarium room or something, it has a sink, exhaust fan and lots of power points ect. Might be useful. ;)
FH
you seem to have done a very good thing for your quality of life by relocating , it is good to read.
on another note I did not know that "lady's of the night " were a legal and thriving business down under ?
learn something everyday [like I recently learned that "Buddy" is not always a good term to use when speaking with a fellow from Down under :-[ ]
@Graham
yes a bit quiet ,"not a creature was stirring Not even a mouse "

Hey Chet it's ok to call people buddy here I think, some do, usually we call each other "mate" which is a bit weird to most other peoples overseas, buddy can be annoying though if the person has a strong accent (not Australian) lol.
Well insurance paid out and I got me another car, cheap too. Insurance was a bit more expensive for a bit less money to be paid out but I don't expect to need it unless some nutter runs into me. :D This car is the same year and make that I had previously but it's a better model=more air bags O0 however it has 70 000 more k's on the clock, it has had a lot of new bushes put into the suspension and stuff and drives almost as well as the other one. Not as much vision out the back because of the silly thing on the bootlid, old one didn't have that, only good it does is hold a light. It's maroon color not red so hopefully it won't trigger the cops to pull me over, white cars are less likely to get the police attention for no reason. No matter plenty of licence points, and a bit of money left over which I'll use to pay any fine I might get. Almost all sorted and thinking of setting up an upstairs workbench and finishing a sidelined electronics project or two. I gotta go get my big green bench, it weighs heaps too. not sure how i will pull that one off, it's my bench so I must get it here.
I had to cut the wires to the 7 inch rear view monitor to get it out of the wreck fast so that will take some working out to refit. Some other small things I can improve. I guess I better check the brakes and stuff under the car properly, I'll see if I can get it on a hoist at a business, I know a guy that might be able to arrange it at a car detailing place for free. I better put the fire extinguisher in there too. Never know when you can save a damsel from a fire.
P.S. It has a CD/Radio and Cassette tape player all in the one unit, as a standard item. Never seen one of those before. It works too. I have Cassettes hahaha they are very old and sound horrible, I guess I should clean the heads in the tape player, somehow, so I can use it with new tapes.
Oh Chet, and the "Night Ladies" have to keep to certain standards and pay tax too I guess, they can work from home or a "red light house" but no street stuff is legal, how do they keep track of the transactions, a lot of cash in hand work I would guess, but some would need to be declared as income or they would get busted by the law. Tax em double i say they earn enough money. I wonder if she needs her gutters cleaned. :-\ I don't think they've outlawed bartering yet.
This time of year here is the longest days, we have a hot, humid 40 degree Christmas time here. It's warming up and the storms are getting wilder. Seafood, Salad and cold cuts for lunch here.
Is there anyone with knowledge of tobacco cutters ? I am considering buying these two antique tobacco cutters and restoring them to working condition so
I can use one maybe. These two look as though they might be still in almost working condition. Any advice ?
I was considering using a paper guillotine but I think a chisel type cutting edge is required.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Antique-2-Tobacco-Cutters-/231786549995?
An expensive one shows that a piece of wood may be used to give the cutting blade a shaving surface kinda thing. I've never seen or used one in person.
Looks like this one has almost all of it's sharpening adjustment left, like a new blade.

Hi Farmhand
Most in the UK are using a new type to shred 0.8mm strands.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tobacco-Leaf-Shredder-0-8mm-Cut-Fine-Cutter-Slight-Defect-But-TESTED-Working-/181594645747?hash=item2a47e264f3:g:cUcAAOSwjVVVzgE4
You will be there all day with a guillotine.
Nice plants by the way :)
Peter
They look pretty good I will try to get one of those, I'm guessing the leaves are fed in one by one or a few at once or something, never knew they existed. I usually use a blend of cheap dry fine shredded tobacco of any kind (dry means more product for the weight) and Log Cabin tobacco from a tin or box which is compressed and sliced tobacco. It comes in slivers folded in the tin and is slow burning, the compressed tobacco needs rubbing and I like it's flavor but it burns too slow hence the blend, the cheap stuff alone is not so good either. Cuts cost a bit. I really need a shredder as well as a slicer and I need to make a compressing device to get the correct size blocks for slicing. The compressed stuff can be stored for a year or so If I can produce enough, I'll grow Havana next then another different one and layer the leaves of different kinds together to blend by compression and slicing. Gets an even amount of each type and thoroughly mixes it when it's finally rubbed.
Hardly anyone smokes tobacco anymore. One of my vices.
Hi Farmhand
Yes the leaves get fed in bit by bit without any stalk, they jam quiet easily if too much is fed in.
There are several places for the UK the leaves can be bought that are ready flue cured.
http://www.tobaccoleaf4u.com/shop/
we are not allowed to smoke shredded tobacco over here without incurring £175 kg duty payable to the UK duty police.
Tobacco leaves dont carry Duty only when it's been shredded.
My Granddad was a potato farmer in the UK and he grew his own years ago.
Peter
Yes I think the tobacco the tomato and the potato are all members of the nightshade family of plants, they all like to have the stems buried as they grow unlike many plants, when transplanting these plants the bottom leaves can be removed and the plant stalk buried deeper, which promotes even more root growth and gives the plants greater stability.
I'm not sure about the laws here, and I won't bother to try to find out too much, I would bet that it is much like home distilled alcohol which is actually subject to customs excise or some such tax, however the authorities simply do not enforce it, lot's of people do it and the homebrew shops sell all the equipment except the stills. They do sell still extra bits and replacement parts as well as spirit filtering set ups and so forth.
Which is sensible as the real problem is the meth amphetamine/pills, heroine and the criminals surrounding that supply. I have not heard of anyone being caught with acid trips since the early 90's. People on those are extremely weird as well but from memory not violent.
I'm suffering terribly last several days from over exertion again making me almost lame in the left leg, I think either my hip is going or my lower back is worse than they tell me. Getting better though. It's rough when all the pills do little to help, I've been sedated and tranquilized for days with opioids and diazepam but it only helps to lay me out. The scary thing is that because it is all prescription stuff I can drive with impunity even though I think it is madness to allow people like me to drive on those medicines. If I must drive I usually don't take anything and drive in the morning or just suffer until I'm finished. I'll do what I want though when I am restricted so much by physical problems I think I should be allowed to produce as much of my own stuff as I want. No one should have any right to dictate to me what I do at my own residence as long as I am not harming anyone or costing anyone else anything due to actual damages, not unlawful taxation.
They cannot get anything much out of me except jail time so I think they would just ignore me unless someone makes a complaint, then would have to do something. I think it's a customs thing with the alcohol and tobacco, no ATF here, thank the heavens.
I even considered asking the cop that came here to charge me over the accident to leave his firearm in his car, If I cannot have one then he should have no legal right to bring one into my house unless there is a reason, like if I was known to be violent, which I am not, I am against violence, but like anyone I am capable of it. But no sane person would do violence on a policeman over such trivial matters. I think it is quite rude of him to bring a firearm into my house without asking me permission first. I decided to ignore it. I think I went to school and played football with the officers brother he was indigenous, if he had been a white cop I would likely have asked him to leave the firearm in the car or we could do the interview out in the yard in the sun. I like the sunshine, but the cops like the aircon. haha
Couple more days I will be back to a not so bad condition.
Thanks for the info !
You can actually use crushed and steeped tomato leaves as an organic pesticide because nightshade plants have toxic leaves, when concentrated it works, and the grubs that did attack the tobacco looked really sick. It's a bit of a no no to feed tomato plants to goats or other ruminants.
Dear all.
We spent yesterday, the 21 st celebrating the shortest day. Mmmm, lots of nice food.
Today saw us delving into the depths of the workshop to retrieve an engine I built in the year 2000 from 100 year old castings that had been recovered from a famous school in the Uk.

Hi Grum :)
What is this sputtering and why does it happen sporadically ?
Grum
Very spooky fire breathing Beast you have there...
I love how you are rock solid [no jumping or shaking] as it Belches up Flames ....
most Mannly.... O0
That looks like fun Grum, it works, and looks as though it could do work with some more refinements. Well done !
Thanks gentlemen.
Three more comments better than the response I got from the Model engineering forum I'm a member of !!
Chet, a lifetime spent with these beasts kinda makes you ready for anything! But that tube needs to be heated at a specific place so you can't flinch.
Verpies, I assume you're referring to the flames? Normally this engine would have a separate valve for the gaseous fuel but just as a " get go " I put a constant metered input to the the air tube, as a consequence no gas is used over the other 3 strokes and was being ignited by the heating torch.
Farmhand, here in the UK around the 1900's Town gas was made in nearly every place. There were literally 100's of manufacturers making built and kit form Gas engines. My Barker engine came to me as a collection of un machined parts in Iron, Gunmetal and Steel forgings which I machined up in my workshop.
These days we take electricity so for granted but that little beast was capable of providing 1 HP @ 400 RPM for as long as was required. I did mention to Chet that the USA was still making Gasoline powered washing machines into the 1950's, Maytag being one of them. Go kickstart the washer Abner!! :)
Cheers Grum.
I'm assuming in the UK you actually call Gasoline "petrol" like we do in Australia, here gas is LPG "Liquefied petroleum Gas" and Gasoline is called "petrol", diesel is diesel. Saves any confusion because Gas is actually Gas when it comes out of the pressure vessel not liquid, and petrol is liquid fuel like diesel but petrol is actually gasoline I guess. No one says gasoline here.
So I am seeing you are using the LPG from the Cylinder to power the engine as well as to heat the tube.
Well done again anyway, hopefully you can find the carby and spark plug setup. A lot of industry here uses LPG in place of Acetylene, special mixers and nozzles are required from memory. And the flame is no quite as hot, but it seems to be much cleaner, and cheaper.
Maybe you could use a LPG-oxygen mixer from a cutting torch to really cause a bang in there. Run the torch to get a neutral flame then you have the correct mixture for complete combustion. Maybe you already did that anyway.
Dear All.
Roo is 6 months old today, he's grown !!
He too would like to wish you all a very happy time.

That UFO is fusion powered, it's there to poke us in the face and remind us that there is unlimited energy around us, it's ironic that we spend years looking for free energy when we feel the radiation produced by the biggest free energy generator known to man and it's been there all through history laughing at us as we rub sticks together to make heat.

Dear Peter.
That made me chuckle!! It's usually obscured here.
Well........ It's my 12 th anniversary today, a near change in state from one form of energy to the next. I can vaguely remember the serious looks on the faces of my family, luck was on my side!
In reflective mood I was given the chance to welcome nine more grandchildren to this world, make many new friends and, most importantly get a second stab at life.
Just remember, stress
IS a killer, so let's take it easy and hope 2016 is a little more peaceful both worldly and locally.
All the very best for the New year, cheers Grum.
Hi Graham
Happy Anniversary may you have many more and a Happy New Year to you and your family and everyone else here O0
I will set myself a target of Fusion this year and try to really go for it, i have been feeling the pieces coming together for a while but need to devote more time to the purpose, I'm fed up with rubbing sticks together :)

I opened this thread 10 months ago with a picture of Snowdrops in bloom, far earlier than usual.
How about this then?
Crazy weather we haven't even had a decent frost yet.
Happy new year, Grum.
Hi Grum
Yes the climate change is getting faster all over the world, what with over 100 forest fires here, huge floods in the UK and south America along with tornados never seen before, also in Asia
Doom is coming

All,
since i in july this year shot a video of an Eagle Owl (rare sighting over here) sitting on a roof nearby and showed it to my wife, she is all into bird watching.
So we go out on an almost daily base to view and record special animals / birds that freely live in the coastal dune/forrest area on 5 minutes walk away from my house.
Here a collection of video's giving an impression of what we have seen up till now.
Shots where mostly taken from a birdwatching cabin which are setup on severall places (and could be crowded/noisy).
I try to put up the English names for the animals / birds we have spotted, enjoy.

thank you for posting the Vids...
taking time in life to smell the flowers and see the world around us is always a delight .
I too luv the birds .
That big Owl is a handsome beast and definitely one to keep an eye on...especially if you have small cats and dogs within his view :o
Thanks,
Chet K
Dear Itsu.
Lovely..... What a sight!
I had an experience with an Owl a few years back.
Spring had sprung and the birds and bees were doing what comes naturally.... One very dark night the Owls were calling to each other whilst I was locking up. I decided to call back... Immediately there was a response, called again, the response grew louder. Called again and got my hair ruffled by a couple of what felt like very large talons. Moral...
Don't ruffle the feathers of a courting Owl... :)
Cheers Grum.
Thanks guys,
nice story Grum, 2 years ago we had an Eagle owl in a nearby city who attacked people all the time for months like you mentioned, so they called him "terror owl" because you don't see or hear him coming.
They finally caught him (normally forbidden as its a protected bird) and he now lives his life in a zoo.
Funny birds :D
Itsu
Wow just had a 5.7 Mag Earthquake about 400 K's north of here and I felt it. First time I've ever felt an Earthquake. Funny thing is within about 5 seconds I realised what it was and was ready to vacate the house. No reports of any damage as yet from near it's center.
Dear Farmhand.
I have to agree, an earthquake is rather frightening.
My only experience, to date was a 6.something whilst on holiday in Kephalonia. The epicentre was on the neighbouring island of Zakinthos. My wife and I were in bed at the time...... The earth truly moved!! ;)
Kephalonia was hit by a devastating earthquake in 1953 that destroyed many beautiful buildings. They adopted a policy of solid reinforced concrete structures that move as a whole. I have to say that although our apartment shook violently it stayed in one piece.
I missed the only big one here in the UK, 1988, if memory serves me correctly. My first wife was nursing one of the children as the lounge floor appeared to roll like a wave from one end to the other. I was driving to work when it happened, didn't notice a thing.
Cheers Grum.
Hi Farmhand,
It's been a while since I have exchanged posts with you.
I also can only remember feeling an earthquake one time. I think it was back in the early 70's. I was at my Dad's house sitting on the couch talking to Dad. He was in his recliner chair. All of a sudden I felt the couch (I guess that would be sofa in some parts of the world) start to move just like Grum has described. I felt like I was in a boat as it seemed to rise on one end and then that end started down as the other end started up and then it went down. Very strange feeling. Dad and I both at the same time said "What was that?" We came to the conclusion it must have been an earthquake so we turned on the TV and found out in a little while there had been an earthquake about 200 miles to the west of us. Fortunately it was relatively small and only caused minor damage like chimneys collapsing and stuff falling off the walls in the area closest to the quake.
Take care,
Carroll
Earthquakes make me think of Groundloop ,He was working on that early detection project [I believe WW was also involved ?] .
Will have to reach out this weekend and see how he's doing .
@ FarmHand
Glad your OK ,areas not prone to quakes are much more susceptible to structural issues with their infrastructure.
Still some aftershocks but It's too far away to feel them I guess. Mag 3 aftershocks or something. My house is an old high block house on wooden stumps it shakes when a heavy truck goes past haha, which is probably why I felt it so well from so far away. Others here in Rockhampton did feel it but not too many.
What got me was the frequency of the wobble in the house, when a truck goes past it kind of shakes and wobbles but at a higher frequency than the slow rhythmic wave like feeling of the Quake, quite different and the street was quiet. Only really one cause left and my mind naturally went to that, earthquake "get to the door". lol
I'll bet the folks only 30 k's from it were a bit rattled by it. Still appears to be very little damage, some broken cups and stuff fell off shelves ect. Kinda makes sense because any structure from here north can and has stood up to cyclones, the newer buildings are made to withstand cyclones, although the cyclones do take/damage a lot of roofs.
With all the floods, fires and cyclones home insurance is almost unaffordable for many.
Anyway my thoughts are going to the unfortunate folks dealing with the fires in Cali. They look horrific.
..
The climate change is increasing each year, here in Spain we have passed all records since records began. The forest fires here are horrific as well, and of course the less forest the less the rain in that part of the world, it falls more in other parts creating huge flooding, from heating up the ocean and evapourating, only to fall in an area which has plenty of water, hence the floods.
The swings are terrific and the seasons have shifted it seems by around a month.
Farmhand, the quake could have been caused by fracking for methane, I think there is a lot going on in the Aus at the moment, it caused similar here, around 5.7 in Castellon, the fracking off shore was stopped.
Regards
Mike 8)
Dear Mike....... Sigh......
Why, oh why can't the so called leaders of our nations get their act together.
Fracking is destructive and uses many toxic chemicals during the process which contaminate the surrounding area. And as you've pointed out destabilise the ground causing mini quakes.
Here in the UK there's a sudden realisation that we haven't got new power stations being built, to replace the now ageing ones in use. We have a surplus of solar, so much that we can't store it.
Your idea of a plant that converts sea water into a hydrocarbon fuel that could be burned at night is surely a win, win ?
There will be those that suggest it's not very efficient, but as far as I'm concerned it's a damned sight more environmentally friendly.
Time to lobby our local MP, methinks.
Cheers Grum.

Who's the north Wales representative for parliment now?
The change of hydrogen and carbon to a hydrocarbon is very efficient, it is exothermic, the problem has been to get the
hydrogen from water cheaply enough. Excess power is if you think about it, free, use it or throw it away, like pouring milk down the drain because the farmers produce too much C.C
Methane or ethanol or both is a great storage means, there is enough CO2 in the oceans, this would recycle it, as the US navy have found

Hi Jim
I have this old site which I have not used in a long time (updated)
www.centraflow.yolasite.com
I suppose with it being old (years) it is well marked on Google, or could set up a new one! It is a free site but works well and now there is a lot more with these sites.
If a new site is required, then the name could be centraflow systems (an old company of mine). There are going to be several people involved with this, all are on this forum, and any money raised should be controlled by a another.
Let me know about site and I can make changes or start a new one.

Yup!
...and my nephew said " play it again! "
This seems to be the place for random topics about life in general so I have a story to share. My dad passed away a few months ago and so I have been doing some thinking of course about some of the things he tried to teach me over the years. Some were of course important and some didn't really matter all that much in the grand scheme of things. The following is one of the more minor things he taught me.
I remember him telling me a few times that if you have a dog barking at you and generally acting ferocious that you just need to point your finger straight at the dog and stare him or her down until they turn and walk away. Well my son has a mutt that is always barking at me when I go down there. He lives next door so I am there almost every day and sometimes several times in one day. So the dog clearly knows who I am.
The other day my son and I were cutting down some tall pine trees near where the dog stays. I got tired of the yapping dog and decided to try what Dad had told me. I walked to where the dog was and pointed my finger straight at her. She immediately stopped barking and looked at me with kind of a puzzled look on her face. I continued to stare at her with my finger pointed at her. She went behind a tree and then peeked out to see if I was still there. When she saw I was still there she waited a while and did it again. Then she just walked over and laid down in the shade and didn't bark at me anymore the rest of the day. Usually she would bark at me even if I had been there for an hour or more.
For the next 3 days she never made a sound when I went down to my sons. Today for the first time she did bark a couple of times until I pointed my finger at her again and she immediately went and laid down.
Does anyone know how or why this works?
Carroll

Nice story and a tribute to your Dad's wisdom
making direct eye contact with authority [pointing] is a good idea, never unlock the eyes or dart around or act nervous
you turn and run!!
lunchtime !!
you assumed the alpha role and removed her from authority [over you]...and she actually knows you are welcome there
not a stranger.
I have had many encounters with dogs I did not trust, I never take my eyes off them[lock eyes]
its like speaking their language ,
not saying you could get away with this when trespassing as an unknown person on a dogs home turf.
while you could still perhaps get away from the dog if you back out slowly and keep the eyes locked on
However
if there is more than one dog to lock eyes on...
lunchtime
Hi Chet,
I thought it must be something like that but I am still not sure what part the finger pointing plays in it. I know I have yelled at the dog over and over before with what I thought was authority but she just kept on barking. But as soon as I tried the finger pointing thing she immediately hushed.
I read on the EF your eye problem is back. Very sorry to hear that. I will keep you in my prayers. I'll be praying for a speedy and lasting recovery.
Take care,
Carroll

I'd not heard of this technique before. I have tried it now several times in the
past two days and am delightfully impressed. It does indeed seem to work!
Many thanks for the little known "secret!"
Chet,
Give us a report on your condition as soon as you are able.
We're all rooting for you!
I spoke with Chet a little while ago. He is home from hospital after successful surgery, in good spirits and is probably resting quietly now.

Well
I saw a vision a little while ago, I had to go back to the surgeon this AM to have the bandage taken off,I wa convinced it was a waste of time
[to far gone] since they keep you awake and last time I could see all the laser welding, and this time it was all dark
well she took off the bandage and was I ever shocked!! a beautiful Polish Nurse ....of course there is more to come down the road [my eye has been filled with "heavy silicone oil ,and they put a rubber band [stitched] to the back Muscles behind the eye.
I feel like I won the lottery ...3-6 months and they remove the oil.
thanks for all the positive vibes...
Amazing what they can do.
it does hurt to read ATM so I'll be resting although he said I really can't over do it as long as I let the pain be my Guide...
Dear Chet
Wishing you a speedy recovery on your eye problem.

Good morning All.
As most known my primary passion was the preservation/restoration of our industrial engineering past.
I spent yesterday at the Anson Engine museum where I have been a quiet contributor since it started nearly 40 years ago. The Anson started as a predominately " Manchester made " internal combustion engine museum, there were many makers back then but has slowly expanded towards the diverse collection seen today.
Here's the latest addition to the " Steam Room " ..... A not so " Grimy " but very old contraption...... ;)

Hi Graham,
Chet mentioned you were interested in the sawmill my son is putting together. So here are a couple of pictures of what he has gotten done so far. The main support base is finished and just needs some minor leveling. He has taken everything completely apart and is sandblasting and repainting everything. The other picture is of the carriage assembly. He doesn't have all the rails down yet. He just got new bearings today for the main saw blade shaft. If you are interested I will post more pictures as he gets more of it together. He works a normal job and just works on this in the evenings and weekends so it will be a while before it is all done.
Kind regards,
Carroll
Hi Carroll.
Yes indeed, that looks rather a large one.
I have been a bit preoccupied today trying to sort out the mess over at OU. Com. I have actually locked the topic at 18.00 BST today.
If there is still an interest I will open a topic here at OUR, it's sad though because I felt it would bring a few newcomers into this area of research. Hey ho.....
Kind regards, Graham.
That was this morning's sunrise as we farewell Autumn. Hope yours is nice too :)
Well, today is my 61st birthday.
Most spend time celebrating, not me I spent my day under the car. After my recent disaster in the turbo charger area.
The replacement " cartridge " arrived this morning and turned out to be a quite pleasant and easy rebuild.....
Things went South rather rapidly after that though, I could do with a well trained mouse for the refit everything's so
b****y tightly packed these days.
I've knocked off now and shall be raising a glass or two later, cheers Grum. O0
Happy Birthday Graham,
I hope your next ten go as well as my last ten have. Only a few minor surgeries and still going along pretty well at 71 and 1/2.
Best wishes for a good rest of the day.

Hi Brad.
Things get from bad to worse sometimes, don't they?
After a few hours of intensive reassembly the time came to start her up..... Gave four ignition on's then turned the key..... The engine didn't get above 2000 RPM before a noise developed, took off the rubber hose from turbo to air box to find a lovely looking spiral oil mist being produced.
Blasted thing's a " knacker " !! At this moment I'm kinda doubting myself, but we even cold cranked the engine to get oil pressure and flow to the HP side ! All new HP & LP pipes, gaskets and Copper washers too. The only thing I didn't do was change the oil as it's long life ( fully synthetic ) and has only got 1500 miles on it.
Where do we go from here??
Cheers Graham.

Sounds like 1 of two things
1-you got a dud-bad seals or bearings
2-the oil drain pipe is blocked
Im guessing you cleaned out the air filter and box,before fitting the new turbo?.
Brad
Well
unfortunately housing cracks can be hard to see too [when cold]
and to be honest could be the cause of original failure .[lack of supply oil is big cause of failure]
what a bummer, even pressure testing on the bench at running oil pressure would not be conclusive
until operating temp was reached
Dye penetrant testing would be necessary now,
can the oil supply line be rigged so as to pressure test it in the vehicle [while watching for source of leak with engine off ?
in a hope that the oil is coming from outside or a crack in supply line somehow?
yeesh
Feeling your pain over here....
Thanks both.
I've received a response from the seller, also astonished!
How quickly should the oil run through the bearing housing? I did notice that the oil we cold cranked up to the inlet stayed there, didn't drop. This was before fitting the top " Banjo " bolt and washers.
I must confess to not checking the LP side into the crankcase but the return side is 16 mm bore and IMO unlikely to have blocked.
Cheers Graham.
I'm kind of old school, stick a wire in the holes to make sure there clear or blow in the tubing/hoses on everything I fix... just to make sure. Just because it's always that thing we never thought of that always comes full circle to bite us in the rear. I cannot tell you how many times I have reassembled something then had to take it all back apart. The last episode was not making sure the hydraulic pump activation levers on my old 1947 9N were locked into place in the bowels of my tractor gear box. So I had to open the case again, reach through a foot or so of gear oil around the pump and sure enough one side was ready to pop off again. Hindsight is always 20/20.

Dear Verpies.
I haven't heard of that, but by injecting fuel into the stream just before the turbine will keep em " Spooling " !!
Cheers Graham.
I would imagine there will be no such thing as Turbo Lag in the not too distant future ,Grum was just mentioning a Staggered fuel injector which is the bee's knee's in marine diesels and greatly improves performance and economy.
that is to say it staggers the fuel [thru pulses instead of one shot] during induction and power stroke. hard to imagine how fast those pulses would be at high Rpm.[this tech is working its way into high end cars ATM
doing similar with manifold pressure would be easily managed thru an oversized turbo and waste gate [might be noisy at idle]

"Your both right and your both wrong.
F1 tech is my domain haha, F1 engines DO use Hydraulic or Pnumatic (depending on the team) to close valves (a few years ago they did both) Under the hybrid era, Valves must be mechanically opened, but there pneumatically closed, so they can be closed faster and harder than a cam would allow, whats the point of all that boost and energy recovery when it all leaks by valves closing as is traditional with a normal cam shaft.
F1 get the best of both worlds, each system has its advantages and disadvantges.
If you do a bit of fishing online you can find photos of F1 engine camshafts, and you aint ever seen lobe profiles like it
On another note i saw a comment about laser ignition this is bollox, and a tech that will never make it, HCCI or Hermerogeneous Charge Compression and Ignition is a spark less way of ignighting fuel, sticking with F1, Merceidies and Ferrari and Honda all use HCCI at some level now mercedies is obviously the best it operates much better, if you listen to a MERC of the throttle in breaking zones and listen carefull you can hear the engines switching from SPARK to HCCI and vice versa, its even more apparant on the HONDA listen to that fucker of throttle sounds like the days of the blown diffusers HCCI is way superior to any other kind of ignition but its only recently the technology has been around that it can be done, for more than 40years HCCI has been on some form of bench.
For those who dont know HCCI is exactly the way Diesel Engines ignite or detonate there fuel, without a spark, just cold fuel into a red hot pocket of air and KABOOM, well petrol and other fuels can be ignighted this way aswell, only its not so simple.
These 2 together pneumatic valves and HCCI is estimated to be between 5 and 25% more efficent all around, more power less fuel, less nocking, less risk of detonation, relativly low cylinder pressures, lower stress on engine components in particular to the piston, where detonation no longer hppens over the pistons center to push down, but burns way more unitform pressing the WHOLE surface of the piston down.
I have no doubt the trolls will soon be here to abuse me so come and get it, ill see if i can find the photos for yall of the cam profiles, and the link to the HCCI information for you all"

In my opinion it spools down way to fast and it sounds like something is binding internally. Did you check if it ran free before installation?, it should have been pre-lubed at the factory. Did you check the clearance moving it axially?, give it a spin?. My guess is something is binding internally or the bearings are pooched because normally the spool down is not so abrupt.

Camless engines have been around for some time now-a lot of large ship engines use solenoid operated valves.
I designed and built my own camless 4 stroke engine 28 years ago,using Honda's XR350 engine as a base-it had only one moving part +plus the drive gears of course,and rotated a 1/4 the engine RPM.
It also only required 1/10 of the power that was needed to run the original valve train.

Defiantly sounds like a bearing problem Grum--sounds like one of the rotors is touching the housing.
The oil coming out like that,is a sure sign of a bearing and seal problem there--maybe the endfloat was not set correctly ?

Hi Verpies.
You may recall we discussed the topic some time ago via PM.
Such a lot of energy is required to operate the conventional valve train and as Chet has said, infinite control of overlap etc.
Now...... All we need to do is get rid of the " poppet " valves altogether by replacing them with a " skylight " type of valve making for much easier transit of the working fluids! ;)

Hi Brad.
The " cassette " was allegedly factory ballanced etc. All that I had to do was put my inlet and exhaust chambers on to the ends.
I double checked all clearances and fully primed the centre bearing before the final start up. The unit failed within seconds....
I've been out to my favourite BMW breaker this morning and bought a second hand one.... less play in it than the new one!!
As usual the weather has turned nasty again, a case of " rain stopped play " :)

The infinitely variable valve timing sure allows for a lot of tuning options ! (together with ignition and fuel injector timing).

QuoteRotary valve system--the only way to go
You read my mind and a rotary valve becomes feasible once we understand the work from the heat of expansion can be equivalent to the work of a transformation without the high temperatures. The GEET inventor claimed frost started forming on the exhaust of his motor in which case a modified brass ball valve with teflon seals and a little lube might work?.
It gives us options not normally present within the realm of high temperature internal combustion engines while reducing the cost of components. How far could we take this... an injection molded or 3D printed plastic engine?. We are only limited by our imagination and I think you have a very good one.

Chester our 13 year old Chocolate Labrador passed away an hour or so ago.
He found us at a rescue centre aged nine months and has been a faithful companion to all the grandchildren for many years.
Good bye Chester, old friend....
Graham, being sad on such a moment is very understandable, but don't stay sad for to long, 13 year is a respectable age for a labrador.
Looking at the picture he had a very enjoyable life with you guys, so be thankfull instead lateron.

Well
I never knew who you were talking to at times [telling me to be patient at feeding time :o when it was He who would show up like clockwork for his dinner]

he had a good life with you folks...a dream life for a noble hound...
Sorry to hear of your loss, Graham. I too have an elderly dog that I love dearly and don't want to think of that day. I hope you find some peace of mind soon.

My condolences Graham. I'm a dog man too. I know how hard it is, saying goodbye to an old and faithful friend.
I'll give my Maggie some extra hugs tonight, thinking of your Chester dog.

This is a " Doggie " household, the four that remain are a little subdued this morning.
It's Mir, Chester's lifelong friend that's been hit the hardest she is a 12 and a half year old Great Dane, she keeps looking for him, they were the best of friends.

I dont see it working-not even with tacking,as it wouldnt matter if the water was flowing under the boat,or the boat was moving across the water--either way,there would only need to be motion between the boat and water. This being the case,you would have a boat moving through water,with no apparent power/energy source.
The land yacht going down wind faster than the wind ,is a no brainer,when you understand that the sail surface is traveling in the opposite direction to that of which the wind is blowing,and the land yacht is moving.
There is also the fact that the land yacht has two mediums to work with,where it takes energy from the wind,and transfers it to the wheel's,which then push against the ground.
The boat only has the water,and so ,there saying we take energy from the moving water,and transfer it to the moving water ???.
This is like trying to lift yourself of the ground by pulling on your own shoe laces. :D

Dear All.
I would like to ask both members and guests to sign and share the petition linked below.
https://actions.sumofus.org/a/it-s-high-time-for-a-global-ban-on-bee-killing-pesticides-1/?source=taf
This is a subject close to my heart as I kept Bees for many years until a sting followed by another the next day caused a near fatal allergic reaction. I was told to stop, for obvious reasons!
Neonics.
In less than a week, European politicians are voting on whether to block a historic new ban on bee-killing neonics.
A small group of industry-backed politicians is trying to stop the critical new protections -- which would ban three deadly neonics from fields all across Europe -- before EU member states even get to vote on it.
We need the Bees and other pollinators, they provide our food.
Cheers Graham.
I also kept bees for many years. I signed the petition. Most people just don't have a clue how important our bees are for pollination. Many many of our food crops depend on them to produce their seeds and fruit.

Your work Brad is a real inspiration for the community. I was thinking about our conversations from long ago about the potential to integrate a hot and a cold engine.
It might be possible if we substitute the solid piston for the liquid piston and gain a significant thermal properties advantage. no stress O0
The heat can be used to cause phase transition of a liquid to a gas, and in a confined space this generates a pressure increase driving the power stroke.
The core system of my model is hhop gen 7, could be enhanced by the hydro pneumatic valves, better timing characteristics so faster cycles.

The problem with HHO propagation is-it is too slow.
What we need ,is a liquid that expands instantly when an electrical current is passed through it,and then contract's to it's original volume when the current flow is cut.
Once this is found,we then build a simple diaphragm engine to harness this effect. O0

HHO production rate (what i assume you mean by propagation) is very slow via Faraday Electrolysis straight DC. There are ways to "instantly" create a pressure increase ('very' rapid liquid / gas rate of change) there is a video floating around of an OUR members secret tech, or you can look at the Gorilla, same effect different ish process.
A liquid that expands instantly when an electrical current is passed through it, and then contracts to it's original volume when the current flow is cut, does not exist and would require a new mechanism of operation (frame of reference).
Currently there are only two main mechanisms that exhibit an overpressure condition through a phase transition change of state of the system liquid, electrolysis (real gas) and boiling (pseudo gas).
You are looking for both the mechanism and the fluid..
hhop gen 7 suggests that it is possible to have an inner heat engine based around the electrolysis principle, and an outer cold engine based around the boiling of a cold liquid fluid pump.
The key component is the heat exchanger sleeved between the annular gap of the hot / cold heat engine pump, which must efficiently transfer heat from one side of the system to the sink, while absorbing all mechanical stress developed by mechanical system operation and thermal system solid stress differential.
I don't have to invent anything new to explore this potential, just need my own lab and sufficient resources to support it.

I have been looking at this concept for a long time and I don't think we have to invent anything "new" to achieve our goals. As existing technology improves and new technology is invented the overall effect on the total system will be expected to improve.
https://www.solarpowerworldonline.com/2015/08/what-is-the-best-type-of-battery-for-solar-storage/
A nice summary of some of the options for battery storage of the energy from the solar panels. As solar panel output will vary day to day and season it needs to be sized to the average we would require everyday, with an excess for emergency power requirements. We could literally begin experimenting tomorrow on some aspects, but first we need to size everything.
My hhophouse concept aims for something like the 'Naturhus', a home within a greenhouse:
https://www.ecowatch.com/couple-builds-greenhouse-around-home-to-grow-food-and-keep-warm-1882128131.html
I would prefer an underground house with a 'living garden area' inside a dome above the surface. The hhop hybrid pumps potable water up to a tank in the center of the roof and drip feed irrigates your plants, while the hho flame provides cooking and heating abilities.
The thermoelectric generator TK posted the other day provides a very cute way of using any waste heat energy for LED lighting, and refrigeration is taken care of by using the recaptured latent heat from the water purification system.
Ideally you would be running the hybrids from the battery bank itself and being direct DC devices no inverter required, it uses natural resistance of the electrolysis cell itself.

it dawned on me that "Son of Grum's" sterling engine could be a real power house if designed to run on these temperature potentials between the warm earth 53 F below my feet and the -20 coming this way.
we could harvest the energy from these storms...but sadly it will be coming your way fellows unweakened by any ambient energy harvesting [would be nice to change that ??]

Yes there is information suppression going on, and yes because of your membership at OUR you are being monitored and targeted in different ways. Despite the paranoia that knowledge of this can induce you must discern accurately specific targeting as opposed to technological incompatibility. Are your drivers up to date ? Is there a program that you unaware of running in the background preventing you from accessing this information ? The list could go on.. and on.. it becomes tedious to keep up to date with changing technology, and as you get older the desire to do so lessens.. as indeed does the desire to get involved in the first place. There was an incidence recently when I posted a wiki page privately for the members here at OUR, that page disappeared rather quick.. it was commented on the lack of access.. it was there when I read it, it was not there when you went to read it.. there is a reason for this. You are capable of manipulating reality with the power of your mind and subsequent action, you don't know this (in the majority) and so are manipulated by those that do.This is the reason there is a war on for your mind and why OUR children are groomed. Free your mind, remove the preconditioned labels and redefine them for yOURselves.. the truth will set you free, but do not jump to conclusions, question more.

Grahams link (@ 12 min) : http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09rzs61
I spoke with Graham last night and listened to a few minutes of the link while he was sorting out computer issues.
I disapprove of Grahams meeting with the BBC representative, a propaganda organisation, and the predictable result of this being a hit piece on OUR community.
I do not consider Graham's praise of the agents build to be accurate, anyone can build from a set of plans and do a good job or not, that does not make them an elite member. People build kit cars all the time and are not considered elite in the field and often don't even understand how what they built actually works. My son can build a jigsaw from the picture supplied and I don't consider him an elite jigsaw builder! In short I found Graham's praise of this fellow an insult to this small community of talented, motivated and moral men.
I believe Graham was in error to agree when pushed to claiming 'overunity' for his device because of it's ability to seemingly overcome the friction in the device, and I believe because a battery was claimed to be involved the discussion should have been to simply perform a full "energy" analysis of the system before making such claims. In his defence he did clarify 'unity at best' and not overunity but his position was edited and made to seem unclear and delusional from a scientific point of view.
This interview I personally found insulting and was certainly not representative of me. Graham is my closest friend in this community and we chat often, in addition I told him all this last night personally. I treat everyone equally when it comes to criticism of their positions from my frame of reference.

As most know I have spent a lot of time with all of Stan's original doc's, machines and his car. Also I have read the true report of the auto: of his body, his brain was like jelly which is typical of a particular poison. I also met his brother Steve who now works for Homeland Security, Hmmmmm

I think they are trying to disarm you.... :o I don't think they're pacifists
Could be planning a coup... [harvesting ammo :D

I released My Meece captors [all 5 of them], during a warm spell here a few days ago
two days later the little B and E artists busted back in... they're in Lock down again ...
next time it will be more than a trip to the local forest [less than 100 yards away]
gonna try at least a half mile... and I'll wait till its a real warm up.
you have to remember these guys have built in survival skills ,and it seems like your Big rodents have combat training.
tread softly and carry a big stick...
Out of 2 full boxes (50 shells) only one single shell is undamaged. The rats appear to consider the gunpowder to be a delicacy.
(The shells are not mine, they belong to my housemate, and were buried under a pile of rat habitat, which I am insisting she clean up immediately. She has been working on it for a couple of hours and some progress is being made in that one pile. A good half-dozen similar piles remain, yet to be touched, and I'm afraid of what we may find under them.)

Chet
I think I've seen these bits available in the past however, I learned to grind these on a bench grinder years ago and they work wonderful for thin material as Grum says. Dress a stone so the edges are reasonably sharp and take an ordinary bit and place on the edge of the stone and grind into each flute as the pix shows. The idea is to create an angled cutting surface with the outside tip recessed from the center tip. Larger sizes will need a pilot hole for the center of the bit. Takes a little practice to achieve but is worth the time IMO.

Hi Chet.
Well.... All I know is they were made to " order " out of ordinary " jobber " drill bits in the Blacksmith department of Rover experimental.
Alan spent the last years of his working life making prototype cars also the concept cars that appeared in the film Judge Dread.
His favourite was the converted " Mini Metro " that featured a mid engine that later became the MG.
I, and the whole family miss Alan's presence, but his skills are still with us along with his very special tools.
Cheers Graham.
Brad-point drill bits.
Will have to see if my Spot weld remover bits work ?

Rover Bits HUH?
put an old Rover all aluminum V8 in the back of an old beetle years back [had to flip the Dif ring gear ]
that was a wild Wee car ,shortened it too ..cut the car in half and removed the doors welded the front and rear door posts together and cut a new door in the back rear Quarter then sectioned all the fenders 10 inches for Fat tires all the way around
Kids........ :-[
restored a crunchy old Mini a few years back ,would Luv to see that Metro
Hi Chet.
Sorry, no pictures, the project as with all new car designs were well kept secrets!
The Mini Metro was front wheel drive, Alan completely modified the floor pan to take the mid engine form.
The vehicle Alan helped to build was then " test " driven around the Midlands area very few noticed the " wolf in sheep clothing " !!

Nice little engine Grum
I found a gearbox to fit to it :D
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXW0bx_Ooq4
Wow Grum, that thing is mesmerising.
How it slows and speeds up and yet looks like it just wants to run. Marvelous bit of engineering and well done to all who kept it in a decent condition over the years.
Ok,here is a !free energy :D! system that is coming together,but not the kind of free energy you might be thinking about.
Below is a short video of my old 3.5 HP SD1 Bamford Diesel,which i now have running very well on old fish and chip oil.Had to advance the injector timing a bit to get it to run well,but that can be done on the fly with these engines--so we just advance the injector timing until we get the least amount of smoke out of the exhaust,while maintaining the correct rpm-->600rpm.
I cant believe how little fuel these engines use.
Noted that it is unloaded ATM,but still-->3 hours and 47 minutes at running speed on one liter of oil O0 .
So,your asking--how is this free energy?
Well,i now collect the old chip oil from 3 fish and chip shops around our city,and they pay me(yes,pay me) to take it away,as it would cost them to have the recycler take it for them.
Not only can i use the oil to run my engine,but i also get $2.00 for every 20 liter drum of oil i take away for them O0 .
Two of the three shops are on my way home from work,and one is only a 5 minute drive away,so the $2.00 more than pays for the fuel required to pick up the oil.
I get 2 drums(40 liters) from each shop each week on average.
Next is to save up for a 3kva gen head ;)

3.5 HP it looks soo big for the HP ,funny how that was back then [huge engines]
and sounds soo good too.
one thing you forgot to mention, the smell of fresh cooked fish and chips coming out the exhaust pipe...I passed an old Mercedes running on recycled food oil,smelled like a Chinese restaurant...made me hungry :)
that is a neet old Motor and a great project/recycle story

Better than smelly old diesel smoke i guess.
Hi Brad.
Lovely engine, Bamford were late starters, first engine produced in 1919, horizontal open crank petrol.
One of the brothers became rather famous with the introduction of the JCB !! JC Bamford....
I know you're allready onto a winner with the fuel, but....

in the Advertisement .
they show what looks like a FLIR image ,maybe CGI ?
HMmm
Yes
finding Meeces Hiding between the Pieces........
Here a small Tale...
I live in a woodsy area of New England USA and always have to harden my defenses against the Evil
Meece [similar to a Mouse but much craftier and sneakier ]. After hardening every opening I could find
and being fairly confident I had solved the Access/intruder problem.........
twas upstairs in the Tiny Attic workshop... looking out the 3 story high window ,I noticed some Movement
along a tiny wire...in Broad daylight .. A meece "Scout" was shimmying upside down along a Tiny wire
right outside the window ...looked right at me with those Evil eyes ...only a scrooge could hate....and then he [or she or " it?" ] disappeared ....presumably into some access point in the dwelling.
I have since seen unbelievable sights looking up at My Fortress from outside... A Meece Jumping out from between the cement and Decorative trim along the roof in Broad daylight ,and scurrying down the facade as if by magic ...and disappearing into the surrounding forest .... at dizzying speed [this old house is built from concrete Block ]
I was obviously dealing with an exceptional Mouse....
so here is the next installment of this sordid tale...
capture and release [after a nice car ride] ,
I noticed some plastic "have a heart" traps which were fairly inexpensive online,
ordered a few and after setting them up in places Where the Misses had heard midnight Meece parties,
I caught "one" ...I had read its not good to leave them too long in the trap [more on that later ..]
I was all happy with myself and very early that rainy dark morning in November , at 3:30 AM
I dressed and hopped in the car with My fuzzy little Quarry [staring at me in Disbelief]
and decided to drive at least a half mile away and release "it" near a small Brook...
as I opened the door and still sitting inside ....held My captive in the wee cage ,I flipped the device upside down out side the
car and there was the meece all calm and collected staring back at me in the dim Light [my interior light from the car]
I thought for a moment to bid him a farewell .... he sitting on his haunches sniffing the air in the Short grass at the edge of the pond...
Immediately Bolted ....
right back towards me and went underneath my Running Car ....[at the time I did not understand why]...
Now I'm afraid to move the car ,if I was gonna just squish him I could have done that back at my fortress...
after a bit of flopping around under the car in the dark [and light rain] ..
I decided he was just confused and must have run to the other side of the road...
off I went feeling all Humane and happy that the menace was gone from my life.
well the exact same scenario happened a few more times , very early mornings in my Bath robe ,driving
to the pond ...only to be stared back at after a few short hops toward freedom... the Mouse would bolt back under my Car
what the heck?
well I did not know that those seeds I had seen on top of the engine when I check the oil [actually the AC compressor]
were fresh seeds,I had thought them old Crumbs from times long past...and was too lazy to climb down in there and clean them out...
I had not realized that this particular Meece knew My car all too well...and was grabbing the bird seed every night from the bird feeder spillage on the ground next to my car, and feasting in the warmth or my engine Bay...
My car he has no fear of ,on the contrary it seems he is quite familiar with it running or not...for all I know he's in there as I type this....was probably in there yesterday for the trip with the grandson to the submarine museum in Groton CT....
there is more.....
But I will not relent...the Armistice has set in since the cold weather has arrived...and he knows the rules of engagement,
no winter releases into a frozen world...
Sigh..........installed a new plywood floor in the Kitchen yesterday...to cover the holes in the corners and pipes passing thru from down stairs ...I wonder if he has power tools....
a true challenge indeed
Chet K
Wonderfully humanitarian story Chet! Brings to mind my own
experiences with those lovely little creatures a few years back.
I caught and released about eleven of them to the wilderness
over a period of a month.
When their mouse family was most numerous they were quite bold and
fun to watch. They'd come out into the open near me as I sat at
my computer and romp and play just like pet doggies do. I guess
they somehow knew that I'd not harm them and for a time we had
an almost daily get together.
But my wife from Japan wasn't amused, sadly, so I was forced to take
action and relocate them to other digs. They've been gone for
several years but I still have fond memories of our times together.
A heart warming tale, Chet ;)
We can't park our cars in the garage, too full of electronic equipment, so naturally the warm engines are a nice place for Meeces in the cold of winter.
In the summer when I went to use the air conditioner in the car....nada. A quick look under thee hood showed that the wires to the electric clutch had been nibbled away, even some of the copper conductor was gone. What plastic was left had little biting marks on it.
So always keep some extra wire under the hood, they seem to prefer rubber insulation, especially cheap Chinese made rubber tires, many of which around here have been nibbled through.

We already have the local Frogs spawning. This time last year we were " knee deep " in snow, our Tomcat Austin missing presumed dead.... He actually managed to trek 10 miles West and was welcomed back 8 months later after his finder had taken him to the vets and his microchip gave them our address and telephone number.

Butterflies here 10 days ago (latitude 47° 13' N).
It's not the climate, it's the weather. There was also such a heat wave in France in 1960 (20.2° on average 28 February 1960, Saint-Girons: 31.2° C).
All weather events are now manipulated in support of the anthropogenic global warming, even when it is a cold wave like in the USA this year.
Todays foot or more of snow leaves Mildred [Mourning Dove ] waiting for the flowers and the flutterbyes
An interesting discussion has arisen among the Qanons
regarding the strange weather in some areas. Apparently
the Deep State weather manipulation systems have been
neutralized. Those systems had been activated to cause
numerous catastrophic weather activities in support of the
"global climate change" program intended to lead up to
certain restrictive measures placed upon the global
human population. Now that the recent targeted droughts
have been terminated Mother Earth is bouncing back with
rain and snow in areas that had been previously deprived.
We shall see how this all works out in coming weeks and
months. The war of good vs. evil is presently underway
with much more evidence of that war expected to occur
soon in The District of Crime and elsewhere with the taking
down of prominent personalities deeply engaged in The
Occult.
From my phone.
There are big changes in the world climate, I will not say it is man made, but I think we will see increasing changes which are going to be difficult for many. The world is in a cycle which could be catastrophic within the next 30yrs, sooner or later. I really think it is like this, and others too, just look at where the money is going, private especially. I fear for the young of this world and I'm sorry to be talking of doom but the writing seems to be on the board.

An interesting discussion has arisen among the Qanons
regarding the strange weather in some areas. Apparently
the Deep State weather manipulation systems have been
neutralized. Those systems had been activated to cause
numerous catastrophic weather activities in support of the
"global climate change" program intended to lead up to
certain restrictive measures placed upon the global
human population. Now that the recent targeted droughts
have been terminated Mother Earth is bouncing back with
rain and snow in areas that had been previously deprived.
We shall see how this all works out in coming weeks and
months. The war of good vs. evil is presently underway
with much more evidence of that war expected to occur
soon in The District of Crime and elsewhere with the taking
down of prominent personalities deeply engaged in The
Occult.
Mother nature always wins in the end.
As with that big meteorite that took out the dino's,and devastated the earth,she came bouncing back to make it greener and cleaner than ever.
We might mess the world up to the point where we do not survive,but once were gone,she will carry out the repairs needed,and once again a new race will evolve in a green clean world.

On Tues I travelled to tropics to keynote a conference in Cairns. That Salty croc is 7yo. They can grow up to 8m in their 80s. Imagine 8M of that coming at you.
Well....
As many know I've had a " working " free energy device installed here for about 3 years. It has a modest 2KWh output but has still managed to provide us with 3.7 MWh since its installation in April 2016.
Thanks to Facebook market place I spotted some rather cheap 260 W new but slightly soiled panels for sale. I bought four of them. Luckily I had also bought a 3.2 KW inverter when I originally bought the smaller system.
Yesterday afternoon saw my son and I fitting " string 3 " with the intention of providing us with Summer hot water heating rather than burning Kerosene! My plan is to divert 1KWh into the heating system when available.
Cheers Graham.

Nice Graham, here in Spain solar panels have
just become free energy, up to this year we had a tax on the sun C.C we generally have more sun hours than most places in Europe, the socialist government has just removed this right wing tax O0 now hoping that with the coming general elections this month that the right-wing >:-), especially the extream right >:-) >:-) >:-), do not get back into government.
While I'm at it, Brexit has cost me since the vote, 1000's of Euros on the exchange rate of my pension. There are 250,000 expats living here in Spain and they are not happy bunnies atm. They came here to retire in the warmth and be able to live better than in the UK, now if they wanted or need to return they can not, the UK has become so expensive that they could not even afford to rent a home on their pension never mind buy.
My moan for the day >:(

Well....
Mike has snow 2 hours North of him in Spain. We have the warmer version here in North Wales!
The last couple of days has seen rainfall at the rate of 32>mm per hour, many rivers bursting their banks.
Attached is a picture of our normally benign brook as it fights its way under the bridge to our home. At 1am this morning it was level with the beginning of the arch, it's now 4" lower.
The start of the bridge arch is 12 feet from the river bed!! :D
We're told there's more to come....
Cheers Graham.
Seasons greetings to one and All
Here's hoping that 2020 heralds a NEW vision. O0
Best wishes, Graham.

The very best to you and yours
And May this new year be the "one"!
Oh dear Michael – sad the Brexit thing isn't running as you'd like. As I recall (and I don't know if it still applies) pensions are arrested at the rate you leave the UK. (Until you return and advance the claim that is) .
Well Michael your something of an unsung hero of mine – (because after some faffing about your stuff worked)
anyway all be it I'm a little rustic and of single status – (I hesitate to use the word squalid) but alas its what males who would rather play with their oscilloscopes capacitors and wine bottles slowly become without a lady running about with a whip hand in the background.
Still there is plenty of room and for you and yours and I'd be sure to make the effort to tidy things up a bit– Promise
Michael our meeting was brief and if left strictly to others would never have happened at all , I'm sure your aware of that now.
You can take it as granted you and family are always welcome across my threshold rent free for as long as whatever might need be attended to.
(Take as you find of course.)

2020 is an election year in the USA, promising to be a most interesting year.
But my main hope for 2020 is the realization of a true Freedom Energy device. My sense is that this WILL occur in 2020, and that the FIRST TWO to appear will be revolutionary...

Maybe we can roll out devices during the election. There'll be so much noise that life changing energy work won't get seen by negative ninnies for months!

The appearance of such a device could indeed be revolutionary if made available
to all without hindrance. How do you see such events unfolding?
If the tumult we've seen thus far in 2019 carries forward it could reach new
heights. 2020 will no doubt be a year to remember.

A long way from me. It's pretty hellish for them right now.
One of my Daughter in laws best friends had her kids and herself in the water at Mallacoota beach for New Years Eve as they watched it burn. Loss of life reported so far is surprisingly low but it could be we just don't know yet. I have been through two events like this in my memory. Thankfully me and my family were spared. I remember as an 18 yo being the only one left to man the two way radio in the concrete plant as all the agitators were being filled with water and taken up to the blaze a few short km away. A property either side of my brothers were razed to the ground 11 years ago in a bushfire that had a front travelling at 20km and hour. Huge eucalyptus were literally exploding. My brothers house was spared though. It's horrifying shit. But our flora and fauna literally depend on it. Before anyone was here the continent regularly caught fire and no one was no one to put it out. A lot of these fires are caused by lighting. Certain seed pods can only open in bushfires, the continent has evolved to rely on them. This year rival those other 2 events in my life. Hopefully not in loss of life.
And this bloke in the neighbour's tree just now.

Simply put ... you reap what you sow.
Definition, You reap what you sow is a proverb that says future consequences are inevitably shaped by present actions.
This is ancient wisdom proven by time and regardless of anyone's ignorance or disbelief of the facts we will be held to account for our actions. You think this is bad?... you ain't seen nothing and this is just a warm up for what is to come. You see everyone thinks there a rocket scientist until there own house is on fire at which point you better know how to do something or your history. Which begs the question... what do you really know, what can you really do?.
Happy new year to you too. Yeah co2 causes bushfires. Btw it ain't that hot. It's one of the coldest start to summer in living memory here. Go and shit in another nest. Not interested in your childish nonsense AC.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE O0
Love the photo Jim, the most unusual thing in our tree is a spent rocket !!
Last nights fireworks were the most prolific in my memory. As a child no one did fireworks, the fifth of November was the time. Guy Fawks night.

As a child in rural America fireworks were a rare event in the 50s. Now
they're much more common. We see them frequently in the fall at
High School Homecoming games.
I've always been fascinated by fireworks. We used to order them by
freight from fireworks companies in Ohio and South Dakota for the
annual 4th of July celebration at home. A kit for $4.95 contained a
couple of sky rockets with stars, some buzz bombs, several aerial
star shots and about a dozen packets of firecrackers. All made in
China. Those were the fun days. This was back in the 50s.
We had to order them by freight (rail train delivery) because the Post
Office wouldn't deliver them. We'd pick them up at the local rail
freight delivery office. I wonder if they even exist nowadays.
Now Pyrotechnics is one of my hobbies. Learning how to make
fireworks is really easy and the materials are mostly inexpensive.
The sounds, the sights and the smells of fireworks can be very
addictive! Incredible fun with adequate safety in mind.

The "title" in your photo looks intriguing. Can you give us
a brief sense of what your work is about?
It is a colloquial Aussie term to explain frustration with big business.
The Term "Brown eye" is very similar and along the same lines of a frustration shared by those who feel powerless , a tongue in cheek finger at authority.
The need to explain such a term is rarely anticipated

It's a guide for business - how not waste time chasing the Google algorithm but instead focus on user experience & building brand and forget about keyword ranking. I've been doing SEO for about 20 years and its what I've learned. Basically we go in and double retailers revenue by fixing their sites, managing ad spend, increasing conversion rates etc.

Hi muDped.
Here in the last century UK fireworks were mainly used to celebrate a failed attempt at bringing down parliament, Guy Fawks was the architect.
" Remember, remember the fifth of November, gunpowder treason and plot. There's no good reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot "
For us youngsters preparation could start up to a month before the night where large bonfires were lit and an effigy of Guy Fawks was burnt. Penny for the Guy, was a common practice of wheeling the effigy in a barrow around the streets to add funding for fireworks.
Penny " Bangers " were the most sought after firework by us younger one's. Prankish behaviour like ringing the bell and dropping a lit one near the doorstep then hiding in the shadows to watch the outcome. Hmmm, the things we did back then.
Today, fireworks are still sold for this event but highly restricted. No bangers or jumping jacks, but much more expensive and elaborate ones, and only available to adults.
A misspent childhood? Possibly !!
Cheers Grum.

Hoax it wouldn't make a 50hz arc sound :)
Running rails go back to an earth point, so the energy should be arcing to ground just as well as the running rails and lamp post.
It's been one of coldest summers I can remember here. Despite the dec bushfires we had snow as well, plus we've had heating on during summer which never happens. Apparently agw is meant to mask the grand solar minimum but I'm not seeing here.
Moving house on Monday, a brand new house on a new housing estate. Fibre connection already laid on. Problem is it will take two weeks before an engineer can come and get us connected. So for the next two weeks I will be offline, although I might occasionally take my tablet to a WiFi hot spot.

Lovely to see Grum. Very wet and cold summer where I am. Been here 6 years this is first time I've seen fungi in February. The market garden next door is usually a sandy desert in feb. this year it's covered with weeds. Could have handled a bit more heat but the cooler conditions are welcome

Not Zinc but Iron oxide....

The present situation has provided me with a couple of " strapping " lads to help in the workshop. This flywheel was cast over 20 years ago, only now going on to one of my vintage stationary engines.

Just a bit of fun in hard times – So we are all I'm sure well aware of the smoke never mind the mirrors associated with and clouding over unity research . One strain of it involves a bit of looped musak and some Bangladeshi guy working a high speed machinery miracle made with a glue gun and a few bits of scrap warped wood .
Most are worth a laugh – some a belly laugh. I still do look out for these gem's even in in these troubled times .
I thought it might be nice to share this particular glue gun majesty with you.

No machinery, just the engine that drove the seed preparation equipment.

You're bringing it together very nicely!
The V-Two offers some very interesting possibilities.
How do you plan to fuel it and ignite it?
I get the feeling that you're putting something rather unique together there.
Hi muDped.
Thanks for the interest, I just love making engines.
These are " Vacuum " engines, sometimes called flame lickers/gulpers. A volume of heated air is sucked into the cylinder and then a timed valve shuts. The air entering the cooler cylinder now starts to contract and good old atmospheric pressure does the work. These are my own design going back about 25 years.
These short videos show my progression through the various " standard " arrangements. Vertical, inverted vertical and horizontal. The " V " twin is my latest design and much larger than most out there, the design is yet to be proven as a runner....

Nice little engines Grum.
But it would seem that the hotter the cylinder get's,the less efficient the engine become's.
Also,so much wasted heat going on there.
I see a couple of things that could be done to make those engines far more efficient.
But fun to watch them work anyway O0

Thanks Brad. O0
Knowing you yes, there's definitely room for greater efficiency and you're correct, as the cylinder warms up the cooling effect lessens.
At the end of the day they are merely toys, my designs loosely based upon the late Victorian engine shown at the front in the picture below. Built by Ernst Planck of Nuremberg.

It is quite amazing how they're able to pull flammable gases from the flames.

The Retlas Dynamo.
Many moons ago a friend and I designed a dynamo ( Manchester style ) to go with the increasingly larger model IC engine kits I produced.
Sadly Vincent passed away and whilst clearing his workshop I found a set of very partially machined castings, these were passed on to a good friend who had recently finished one of Vincent's masterpieces, the Retlas gas engine.
I thought you might like to see how these very bare castings are coming together.
Cheers Graham.

Amazing workmanship Grum!
It is so nice to see those old well-engineered machines.
I especially like the Dynamo. Brings back many memories!
Thank you muDped. O0
Now here's one for the older electrical guys.
I'm trying to source a particular form of " eyelet " one where the multi strand Copper wire was formed into a circle by a many pointed star that then was hand crimped over a Copper or Brass washer, this was then placed on a stud and held by a washer and nut. These were seen on many early electrical machines.
I feel this would add greater " authenticity " to my friends rapidly concluding build.
Cheers Graham.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to everyone.
I'm very optimistic about the new year.
This populism nonsense is slowly dying out, Covid has also changed many peoples priorities away from blind consumerism/wealth towards family and friends. The push towards a green economy and alternative energy ie. free energy is also ramping up. Yes it has been a rough year but it also gives us a greater appreciation for what we have and our quality of life.
Sometimes we don't realize how lucky we are until it's put in jeopardy by external forces. We take a lot for granted as we continue to push forward and a little reflection on our priorities is never a bad thing. I'm pumped about where free energy is going this year and this may be our year.

If by "Covid" you mean the Covid Response Action Plan devised by CDC, NIH, WHO and WEF then I agree.
The Draconian, Tryannical, Fear-Driven Responses World-wide have been very destructive. The Enforced
Measures have destroyed Economies and Businesses beyond recognition and have increased the numbers
of Homeless People by hundreds of thousands.
Yes, Priorities have indeed Changed!
EVIL is coming out into the OPEN to show us all who it is with the Brutality that it loves to inflict.
Evil is not yet finished. There is more Turmoil and Tribulation to come.
But the Forces of Good and Truth shall indeed prevail when EVIL is fully exposed before being brought down.

Hope all goes well with your new projects and I have quite a few planned as well in the new year.
This is the most optimistic I have been in many years about free energy and everything seems to be coming together. I was looking at your work again and I have to say that's an absolutely brilliant concept I had never considered. I'm presently moving in a different direction and plan on building a solid state variation on the Hubbard device for a whole house generator this year.
It's been a long haul but were almost there and I think were going to nail this. This may be our year when everything comes together, let's getter done.

Great to hear Chet. There are so many things to explore right now. I cleaned the benches last week. I'll have the grandkids over in a couple of weeks. Got a few projects ready to make them ask questions...
He's back and woke me up this morning . Got a better angle this time.

Studying other FE inventors and research helped but it didn't necessarily get me to free energy. It was embracing the fact that energy is everywhere in everything in nature. A more holistic view removed from societies beliefs and more in tune with nature. So when I sat down at the bench I didn't ask what other men would do, I asked how would nature solve this problem, what is energy and how does nature move energy?.
The reason most cannot solve this problem is because they follow the thoughts of other men not the natural world. So I clear my head and look at everything as a child might, as if I knew nothing of science. A new perspective is required to build new technology.
Think about it, in reality a free energy device is just some coils of wire and switches sitting on your bench. To most there is nothing present which would give any indication it could do anything remarkable. That is, until we understand it's not what we see but a process to transform the field of energy the device is already immersed in. We could think of a free energy device like a large piece of fabric on the floor which means nothing in itself. It is only when we capture the wind that it becomes a sail which could do tangible work. Thus the fabric is only half of the equation and nature the other half in order to perform work.
This why most only see some coils of wire and switches while others see unlimited possibilities.

Hi there Have you ever seen in side any of the Moray devices ? there isn't much in them a few coils and a couple of variable capacitors
and a valve possibly a cold cathode diode was all I was shown possibly on the input side.
In that case logic would presume the energy was coming from the out side, a rotating nutron star or something like the wood pecker
man made device remember in those days America had devices for bringing down interplanetary visitors vehicles and of course radar
and the you have the earths magnetic field and the sun bombarding it with magnetic radiation could any of those possibilities create
a beat frequency or indeed some other magnetic frequency that could be picked up and used ?

I was watching an old interview with Dale Ponds recently on the Keeley motor. He said it basically harnessed the water hammer effect and Moray was doing similar with electricity. Could be Teslas cosmic rays or Neutrinos.. which seem to be the same thing. Even Brownian Motion now is a source of energy.
Quote from: JimBoot on 2020.12.31, 00:00:49
He said it basically harnessed the water hammer effect...
...which is understandable by anyone who has experienced water hammer at the top of an old Victorian building - along with a foreman running around and screaming abuse because it is about to bring down all the ceilings. The power generated can be extraordinary.
There was a design for a motor based on the idea using standard plumbing components. i emailed Dale about it because it is lost. He got really worked up about people stealing his IP.
When General of the Army (5 stars) Dwight D. Eisenhower was president in the 50s
he initiated the Atoms for Peace Program. The goal of the program was to transition
the U.S. Economy from being dependent upon Warfare to the use of Atomic Energy
for entirely peaceful uses including the generation of abundant and very cheap electrical
power.
At least, that was the dream. Unfortunately, it never really materialized.
Nuclear Power Plants were built but the price of Electricity continued to climb.
Peace was never fully realized because the War Machine also got bigger and bigger.
It became readily apparent that there would neither be Peace nor would there be abundant and inexpensive electricity.
Free Energy has also long been a Dream in our World. From time to time very convincing demonstrations of
Free Energy are arranged by "Inventors" who assure us that the Dream is about to become Reality!
But it hasn't yet. For some strange reason the problem of "Replication" prevents success by any who strive to duplicate
the demonstrations.
Sure, the Devices themselves are quite simple. "Some coils of wire and switches sitting on your bench."
But when assembled and used by any but the "Inventor" the devices fail to produce Free Energy!
Is it the fault of the Device? Or is it that the Replicator isn't the "Inventor?"
Does the Energy of the Demonstration originate from the Device; or does it come into existence because of some special
ability of the "Inventor?"
And when the Energy does convincingly manifest during the Demonstration, where does it actually come from?
Why aren't just "anybody" able to make the Free Energy happen?
There should be a Scientific Answer... And, there is.

T.H.Moray is my favorite FE inventor and his literature is well worth reading.
I replicated some of his work and did much research to find out what his mysterious "Swedish Stone" was. It was a quite rare form of crystal quartz having unique electrical properties and only found in one specific area of Europe. The device itself uses high frequency plasma oscillations in his tubes to produce the desired effects which is unique. This kind of device is what I call a sequential feed forward design with a regeneration loop generally found mid section at lower voltages.
All energy in these devices is external as the "cosmic energy" if you will also occupies the space in between the physical material. Thus external and internal energy are inseparable as they are one and the same. It's important to understand that while these devices seems unbelievably complex they are simply machines. An apparatus with many parts designed to perform a specific task... no more no less.

Yes, I personally think you are right but would add the energy from the Earth's dynamo which creates the magnetic field and gravity, which then affects the Magnetosphere which in turn is affected by the Sun, which then creates the ionosphere (Ionisation). The energy is all around us between the latter and the Earth, the waveguide cavity, interreact within that cavity and you can extract energy.
If an electron leaves an atom, such as when a current flows from the end of one wire to the other when in a circuit, then another electron is being COLLECTED at the other end. While this is happening, work is being done, your light bulb is giving light and heat which then goes back into the GLOBAL Electric Circuit. EXTRACTING ENERGY FROM THE WHEELWORK OF NATURE

Mudped,
I'm curious as to who you think these entities might be! In my mind, I have avoided invoking or otherwise appealing to any "entities" that may provide a source of energy for the fear that they just may be as you say "not always good". John Hutchison(sp) in Canada comes to mind with all of his almost 'magic' appearing phenomena. If one studies the great magicians, most acknowledge that their feats are possible due to some invisible entity or entities.
I acknowledge that energy abounds all around us that was placed here from creation and in fact I talked to a gentleman several years ago by the name of Bill Wampler who was utilizing this energy and manufacturing 10kW stand alone solid state generators that he gave away for use in 3rd world countries. He said the problem to use this energy was twofold first, one had to learn how to accumulate the energy and second, one must learn to control it. I asked him why he didn't offer the product to the consumer/industrial markets and he said the US government wouldn't allow it. They were raided in their secure lab by the ATF in their early days and they took every piece of documentation and prototype material on site. Fortunately he said they had redundant data and product at yet another unknown location so they were able to continue on with their work. Bill has since passed on so I have no more info.

Pm

This was ~3years ago as I recall.
Bill Wampler was as legit as one can get! I sense you doubt my/his word. Bill made a fortune building desalination equipment again for sale and use in third world countries. With the profits, he put a team of engineers and physicists together to develope his OU technology in a facility with the utmost security. I have no doubt that his initial facility was raided by the ATF and he suspected that one of the employees made a comment to someone that gave away his location.
I know nothing about you or your vocation but I will tell you that if you have OU technology that will bring independence from the power grid, the corporations that control our present energy sources will not allow you to bring it to the public that is, not unless they control it. This is as much of a problem as developing the tech itself.

Not at all.
My theory may not stand up. I thought you were going back to the nineties or thereabouts. I am puzzled that you had problems 3 years ago because the powers that have caused problems are gravely weakened to the point where they can't be taken as seriously any more. For instance, how was Nissan able to launch the Leaf with impunity? This action has blown the doors off and massively damaged the petrochemical powers. They did nothing. (I have my theory about this).
If there were to be a way for you to get back to this technology and link up on an open source basis with Nissan or one of the others, who have much to gain by an association, it might run smoothly now even if there were problems 3 years ago.
Nearly mid summer here and I think we've had one day over 30c. Last year was cold too despite the bushfires. It has been getting wetter here too I guess the Grand Solar Minimum can be blamed for that as well. Got a rain gauge for a birthday present a few years back been tracking daily ever since. This year's rainfall broke all (my) records :)

Everything seems kind of backwards here as well, we had what seemed like a cooler summer and a warmer winter. The -30 cold snaps haven't come yet and we received lower than average snow. It seems much milder than normal.
However the truth may be more telling, the last few years we have been seeing accelerated weed growth and algae blooms in most lakes producing winter kills in the fish. It gets warmer sooner and lasts longer despite what seems like lower peak summer temperatures. The week long slow rains are basically non-existent and have been replaced with large regional thundershowers.
The crops also show a different trend, some have had the best dryland crops they have ever seen like 70 bu/acre Durum wheat. However some eight out of ten farmers said on average crop production is down five to ten bu/acre. This is because the rain patterns have become an all or nothing proposition dictated by thundershowers.
Do you see the pattern, it's slightly warmer but longer in duration on average and the rain a little more sporadic however even these small changes are having big effects on the environment. It's about energy not weather, more energy is being retained for a longer period of time.

Very nice video of the old machine JimBoot!
The technology and workmanship was amazing back then.
My Grandma had a Victrola floor model in her living room on the farm.
It was incredibly loud considering how it was constructed with no electronics.
The Steel Needles were Five Cents for a pack of 50 in the '50s. We ordered them from Allied Radio
in Chicago, Illinois since none of the local shops carried them for the old machines.
The song you were playing; The Ghost Riders in the Sky, was very popular when I was a kid.

It looks as if it might be a Black Light or Ultraviolet source.

In between the coyotes, weasels, owls and hawks we usually lose 8 or 9 cats a year. At one point we had 17 cats and three months later we were down to 3 so we like to stockpile a bunch over the summer, lol.
Not nice here at the moment and it was -30C here this morning. The next two nights are supposed to hit -36C with a wind chill near -45C.
So tonight I'm going to be rolling into a night shift with the all heating equipment in near a hundred buildings completely maxed out. Bearings seize, oil becomes molasses, grease plasticizes and rubber can shatter at those temperatures. I can also expect more than a few water lines to freeze and burst flooding the area. Worst case scenario is when the main line natural gas pressure starts dropping and all those furnaces and boilers start tripping on low gas pressure and flame out. That's when things gets real interesting and Engineering turns into damage control.
Not looking forward to the shit show I know is coming in the next few days of similar temperatures.
It looks to me as if you need to put a great deal more work into (even) better insulation, air traps at doors and so on.
Paul
Most commercial/industrial buildings have been retrofitted for energy efficiency here however the heat load is generally calculated at -30C. That means anything below that temperature we start losing ground. The temperature extremes here can vary from +40C to near -40C which is a wide range compared to most places.
Hence the reason I'm so interested in free and alternative energy.

But are the standards really as good as they could be?
With the Pfizer vaccine requiring to be maintained at -70, and this being achieved without difficulty due, presumably, to fabulous insulation, probably NASA inspired, maybe it is time for the whole insulation world to be revisited. There should be many more products and technology available.

Is there a "translation?"
Of course....
Taken from Wikipedia.
Literally translated, the long form of the name means: [The] church of [St.] Mary (Llanfair) [of the] pool (pwll)[22] of the white hazels (gwyn gyll) near [lit. "over against"] (go ger) the fierce whirlpool (y chwyrn drobwll) [and] the church of [St.] Tysilio (Llantysilio) of the red cave (-ogo[f] goch). Various elements have occasionally been translated differently, for example "the white pool among the hazel trees"[23] or "the cave of St Tysilio the Red".[24]
I never mastered the language personally but I have a good grasp, pleased to report that several of our grandchildren are fluent Welsh speakers.
Cheers Grum.
I always found the definition of free energy strange...
By definition it should mean
1)Free; not under the control or in the power of another; of little or no cost.
2)Energy; the capacity to perform work, something in motion or experiencing a change in motion.
Thus, free energy should be defined as a means of performing work from the inherent motion of something on some level at little or no cost.
However it never follows the standard of how we define a term and usually digresses into thermodynamics or slang for perpetual motion machines. I believe this misrepresentation of the term "free energy" relates to the concept of control. That something could not be under our control or able to be monetized which scares a lot of people. This ultimately relates back to a self-interest or someone who is dependent on selling others energy for profit in my opinion.
It just seems strange that so many people would try so hard to dismiss or redefine the term "Free Energy" as something it's obviously not.

It just seems strange that so many people would try so hard to dismiss or redefine the term "Free Energy" as something it's obviously not.
We've all been told time and time again that "there is no such thing as a Free Lunch!"
AC,
Since I'm not able to reply on your What is Energy (https://www.overunityresearch.com/index.php?topic=3975.msg92525#msg92525) topic I'll reply here.
Your drawing of your One Wire Pole Diagram is nearly correct.
The Neutral Wire should be the Center Tap at the Output of your 1100 VAC to 220 VAC Transformer which will then provide the two 120 VAC circuits which are out of phase.
Neutral is in turn connected to Ground, usually at the Meter location at the home.
One wire rural telephone circuits were very common in the U.S. The old Telegraph lines were also one wire. The ground return offers less resistance than a second wire.
I didn't know that Canada had such one wire systems for electrical power distribution into rural areas

Good catch, I noticed my mistake just after I posted the picture but got too busy to fix it. I will try to correct it today.

Indeed, many FE inventors of the past in the late 1800's to early 1900's got started in FE by studying ground return/telegraph anomalies. It's really strange that the field of telluric currents was once very popular but then vanished with the popularity of Hertz wave systems.

Relating to energy efficiency...
The wife picked up a 2022 Hyundai Tucson hybrid the other day and it's a pretty cool machine.
As an engineer it's easy to understand the technology and I work with computers, controllers, big AC motors and VFD's daily. However it's another thing entirely to ride in a vehicle hearing only a slight high pitched whirl from the motor/EMC. It would seem to me there is always something lost in translation between understanding something and actually experiencing it. The proverbial light bulb comes on above our head and...we get it.
Free energy and related technology seems similar and until we have actually seen it first hand for ourselves we are always left wanting.

Quote from: AC
The primary difference is that in Tesla's system the top end was designed to limit all radiation which is the exact opposite to our conventional technology. The reason is simple, air has few conduction electrons and the Earth has an abundance. This is not a Hertz wave system, this is a ground wave system based on conduction of the Earth.
I rediscovered Tesla's secret by accident when I noticed an LED which had fallen on the the floor was lighting up during an experiment. One lead of the LED was touching the concrete floor which was enough to light it up, how could this be?. I then measured potential crawling along the concrete floor more than twenty feet away with my electrometer array.
Within the realm of Radio Frequency Radiated Energy the Ground Wave is essentially a Low Frequency phenomenon.
The vertical quarter wave antenna naturally emphasizes Ground Wave Radiation which is an essential element of AM Radio Broadcast Transmission.
The Ground Wave does indeed propagate more slowly than the non-ground wave component of the radiated energy.
Virtually all of Tesla's Radio Frequency work was done at low frequencies which tend to focus radiated energy into the Ground Wave.
He believed that the Radiant Energy his devices produced was non-Hertzian, but was it really?
The Near Field is quite intense.
Got into a neat project this weekend...
I became mesmerized by wake-surf hydrofoils lately and since there expensive I decided to build one, for the kids, lol.
I just finished the last coats on the board as shown below and the camo turned out not bad. The board is glued/laminated wood strips like a butcher block and routered, primed, painted then three coats of urethane. The two main and rear wing were fabricated yesterday and this morning they got a boiling water steam bath and placed in a bending jig to give them some dihedral or curve for stability. Next comes the mast and fuselage which should be the easiest part of the build.
I decided to build two main wings because I'm a hydro foiling virgin and have no idea what's going to happen. So one has a heavy narrow profile with lot's of dihedral while the other is a high aspect wing twice the length and much thinner.
I also included a picture of what it's supposed to look like when it's done. As is generally the case I expect this to turn into a train wreck but why wouldn't I go there?.

I would think that some attention should be put on the relationship of the estimated speed, foil's angle of attack and the lift developed or it will be impressive but uncontrollable.
Foils are like magic
And seeing people surf forever on the waves ( tiny waves too)
Some fellows foil board with no power assist in the open ocean
Pumping the board to transition between surfing the eternal wave ...
Amazing
Thanks for sharing
I been kicking around a foil project myself , retrofitting a Hobie cat platform!
I guess it's just a matter of pulling the trigger....
Learning what size foil and shapes for a given weight ?? ( some guys / manufacturers hide their info , claiming many years to get it right ?
Wow
Cool project
And getting a microprocessor to manage a foil with elevator or ailerons
Alah the "cup boats"( 6 tonnes ....75 ft ... flying along at 3-4 times Wind speed ...? 60 mph....
Now that would really be something....
Wow
Very cool !

That's the feeling I got the first time I watched a video of hydrofoil surfing on youtube a while back... magic, lol.
Pulled the wings out of the bending jigs this morning and it looks like 1/2" dihedral on the main and 3/8" on the tail. I wasn't expecting much from a quick hot water bath so I was happy with it. Also got some time to build the fuselage with 3D printed end caps then glue and fillet the tapered wing blocks to set the initial angles. As a starting point I'm trying 3 degrees positive pitch on the main wing and negative 2 degrees on the tail. This should give me a center of gravity pretty close to the center of lift forward of the main wing for more stability.
Designed the front and rear wing blocks to be identical so I can 3D print 1 degree shims to trim her up if need be.
Here's a not bad link to the general theory...https://www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Kitesurfing/General/Some-Foil-theory?page=1

We need a spot for foils ....
Something that doesn't bump FE experimenters off front page ( I believe/ hoped forum upgrade might make this possible....?
I am definitely afflicted with this tech and growing food indoors too ..
Finished the setup on the hydrofoil board...
+1.5 degrees on the main wing
-2 degrees on the rear wing
+ 3 degrees on the mast
Now the testing begins, could be interesting...

Our premier has officially gone full dictator. He is passing laws this week that give him power to take people off the street and lock them up. He alone will have powers to declare an emergency postpone elections etc. more power than hitler had. Literally. Young children will be fined for not wearing a mask. Adults will be fined 90k or 2 years jail. So many of us may get disappeared to the new 4000 bed "quarantine" facility. I will not be complying. Wish me luck. In other news we could get hit by a massive CME in the next two weeks. Could be a big one. Good luck!

There's a war on, Jim. Try that attitude in Europe in 1939, and you'd be locked up or killed depending what side of the channel you were on.
JimBoot,
What is happening in Australia has shocked the World. Sheer insanity.
Wishing you and all Australians of sound mind the Very Best as you resist the tyranny.

Free Energy is abundant and easily utilized by those who have knowledge and creativity.
Freedom, on the other hand, is rapidly vanishing as tyranny unleashes its "iron fist."
Is there in your mind a greater problem?
It isn't about fear of "needle" but concern about what comes through the needle into the body.
Study the Science.
Look at how Japan has realized the real solution.

On free energy, the science is clear and we have no shortage of energy only knowledge and understanding. I heard through the grape vine that 2022 is the year FE goes mainstream. Apparently it's reached a critical mass and climate change has pushed the disclosure forward. Necessity is the mother of invention and the need for new energy technologies has become imperative. It's going to be so damn cool I can hardly wait, electric cars, electric airplanes, electric motorcycles, no utilities and the cost of living should fall drastically. It's all good...

I just survived COV-19 with the help of Ivermectin, Hopefully you all realize what they are doing. Drugs like Ivermectin and Hydroxycloraquin have been taken out of the picture, factories destroyed ect. propaganda everywhere on them because they are ANTI-VIRAL drugs just incase you haven't guessed yet.
They continue with the big lie that there is no cure for viruses, the common cold the flu etc. and you must take the death shot that will eventually kill you in at least one of many different ways in case you haven't been paying attention. The fact that these are ANTI-VIRAL is what they are trying very hard to keep from you.
4 small (6mg) tablets, 1 tablet every 12 hours over 2 days knocked out COVID almost immediately and that was after 2 weeks of suffering with it before we could get the meds. My wife and I almost died from the Covid before we could get the Ivermectin and it still knocked it out in 2 days. and so far no side effects at all.
Please spred this far and wide, people need to know!
Oh no!!!
Surely you don't think the liberal main stream media would lie to you. >:( >:(
Anyone with half a brain can see that the whole fake pandemic thing has just been a scam to see how gullible the general public is. Unfortunately it is clear that many people only believe what the lying MSM tells them. They are just too lazy to do some real research on their own. Some simple research would quickly reveal the lies and propaganda the media has been spreading. Ivermectin and Hydroxycloraquin have been used for many many years with NO serious side effects. They have both been used in Africa to also stop parasites. And those countries that use them routinely have had very low rates of Covid infection throughout the pandemic.
I see some members here had nothing to say about free energy but now are quite vocal about offtopic subjects.
However the members have spoken and they don't want these conspiracies theories and hate speech here.
Surely they have something better or more constructive to do with there time considering all the problems we have in the world.
I'm gearing up for the game of the century when free energy is disclosed next year. Everything will change and hopefully all this nonsense will be behind us. In times like these we need hope and inspiration not hate and inciting more violence.
Regards
AC
Cry me a river SNOWFLAKE!!
The only one who has said anything about hate and violence is YOU! The rest of us are much more concerned about truth and freedom to make our own choices and not be forced to have poison injected into our bodies.
For those that would seriously like to research the use of hydroxycloraquin and ivermectin please use DuckDuckGo as your search engine. Google heavily censors their search results. They don't want you to know the truth. These two simple remedies mean you don't need a poison jab to survive Covid.

The odd rant in a non-energy thread is fine in my opinion. However the name calling, repetitive posting and inciting hostility between members is unacceptable.
It's about showing a little restraint and keeping it civil. Making a point is cool repeating it over and over and over is propaganda. We should also expect to be fact checked for accuracy.
I think we all understand if we can't moderate ourselves someone will do it for us. Nobody should have an issue with that, I don't.

Things are taking a turn for the better!
President Donald J. Trump declared that he would start a "media powerhouse." Its flagship operation would be "Truth Social."
Quote from: the website
Our Vision
In the year 2021, the media pendulum has swung dangerously far to the left. Silicon Valley, the mainstream media, and Big Tech have begun to forcibly silence voices that do not
align with their woke ideology. Big Tech platforms demonetize, throttle, and cancel those who stray from the mainstream narrative. They are not just censoring content – they are
determining what can and cannot be said. By controlling how information is shared, they control the narrative. They control the future. They control you.
To counter this dangerous exercise of Big Tech monopoly power, President Donald J. Trump and TMTG are building a media and technology company rooted in social media, digital
streaming, and more. TMTG intends to even the playing field by providing people with open media platforms where they can share and create content without fear of reputational
ruin.
Join us.
Gentlemen.
May I remind all that this IS an " off topic " thread. Obviously the current world situation is on everyone's mind and I really do think that a dedicated area should be made to discuss the situation. ( admin )
Whilst I still dabble with alternative energy devices off and on my main passion for the preservation and restoration of early engines continues. This got me involved with re manufacturing of parts in various metals and ultimately a small foundry developed. A natural progression into " scale " replicas followed. I'm currently building a half scale replica of the Robinson hot air engine as built by Gardner's of Patricroft Manchester. This engine employs the Stirling cycle.
Cheers Grum.
Morning Graham,
Beautiful work on that engine. I'll have to check into the design and workings of it. That is an unusual design.
I agree that an area should be on this forum to discuss the current world situation. A lot of other forums have an area for "off topic" discussions. If someone does not want to read about "off topic' discussions then no one is forcing them to go to that area.
Respectfully,
Carroll
Provided it does not become the headliner thread constantly posted at top of forum
For all visitors to see ?
As in its own spot completely separate?
Such topics can get forum booted or moderated from service provider ( as another forum recently experienced )?
Or even expose admin to liabilities?
I see no such topics running at Stefan's anymore , he has venues he visits for such off topic discussions?
I personally have no interest focusing anymore unwanted attention or excuse to be bothered by governments
At this time
Free energy is volatile enuff !!
Millions of places to discuss COVID or other topics
Admin already addressed this and even modified the terms of service
For liability reasons ( as a result of just such examples )

QuoteAnd coming here and finding forum gone do to such extremely volatile subject ?
I would disagree and many people seem to forget that not that many years ago none of the subjects in question were volatile in any sense of the word.
No subject is volatile, it's just a subject, it's people who make it volatile to serve a belief or interest. Understand the interest the person holds and we can begin to understand there motivation and the problem.
I think the way forward is a little more tolerance and understanding...

We have been threatened with firm action in the event the discussion attempts to continue.

You may think what is happening to them is wacky or funny but I certainly do not.
Even you in the UK are experiencing similar tyranny as those in Australia, Canada and New Zealand although not yet as severe.
People are being permanently maimed and disabled, even dying, in alarming numbers yet the masses seem afraid to care.
Sorry Grum, our World is in serious trouble and I cannot be an Ostrich.
You may remove my postings as you see fit.
OUR, window was set up for members to discuss, share what's going on around them. The forum has a worldwide membership and a wealth of different skills and talents.
Jim's recent post might have come as a shock to many but those that use the " alternative " media, already knew. I welcomed it as it added concrete evidence to what we were hearing.
Your question about what to do muDped ? Perhaps a poll of the membership? Alternatively we could ask the forum owners for their opinion?

You're quite right, Chet. But I am also concerned about the site being seen as contaminated by association. I find the Ro0bert Adams thread very interesting and it would be a tragedy if people with stuff to offer turned away because that thread was deemed flaky because of nearby threads that are becoming total looney tunes.

QuoteCensorship is real

I would agree, but not all censorship is equal. Most foreign censorship relates to fascism or authoritarianism however in G7 countries there are laws with respect to inciting hate, violence, harm and fraud. The effects of these crimes on people are no less real just because there on the internet or some hide behind user names. So we should be clear that we are entitled to free speech unless it's malicious then it's considered criminal. Ergo, what we say on the internet is no different than anywhere else and we can be held accountable even if it's rarely enforced.
On FE forums, I have already looked into it and would have no problem starting another FE forum within a week. I would attach the forum to a FE website mirroring the information found at Rexresearch and Patric Kelly's site. I may go that route anyways regardless what happens in the other forums. I think this forum has a nice balance between FE and off topic debate if we can keep the misinformation under control.
Regardless I need a new site for copyrighted FE content I intend to disclose.

In my view, there is only one reason that this site would be suppressed and that is if it is seen as a source of material which is resulting in members of the public dying or being seriously harmed by covid.
Paul
It would be difficult but any person here could be sued for for libel or harm the same as anywhere else. More so between G7 countries with similar legislation.
There seems to be a free for all on misinformation in the last few years. However there is nothing stopping anyone from starting there own website/forum. If they feel that strongly about an issue then they could prove it by starting there own blog or website. Rather than corrupt and disrupt other sites.
I mean, a person has to wonder what there real intent is if they never talk about free energy and only distract in a free energy forum?.

I know Free Energy is real because I've seen manifestations and have observed craft which actually make use of it.
I maintain that there are two kinds of Free Energy:
Common Free Energy which is available to all
and
Esoteric Free Energy which is available to only the few who Comprehend the Meta-Physical and the Para-Normal.
Most Free Energy researchers are unable to find it when looking in the wrong places.

If you are unaware of forum which was closed as a result of political affiliations and support system ?( are you being serious?)
yes !
you need to watch the film, I think it's saying covid was used to 'cull' or off load and blame it on covid with end of life drug'.

Paul,
I have known muDped since long before this forum and I have never heard him even imply that free energy was "rubbish". You claim he has, so you need to repost the thread where he said that or admit you don't KNOW that he said that.
Respectfully,

A lot of noise in the forums...
It may relate to COP26 where the world leaders claimed global warming is much worse than expected. China and Russia were missing in action which was no surprise. There basically still living in the dark ages under authoritarian rule and are hopeless.
There is much confusion and most seem desperate. They have literally no workable solutions to the multitude of problems they created. Most talk of carbon capture which is a lesson in stupidity. So they burned fossil fuels for energy and now want to consume even more energy to capture CO2?. That's like trying to put out a fire with deisel fuel.
I find the whole fiasco very strange, apparently everyone has everything figured out, they just can't succeed at anything that matters. I found this to be true and everyone is a rocket scientist until they actually have to prove there intelligence...then it turns into a cluster!@#$.

You are quite right, Carroll.
But it is quite a task. It was a year or so ago. The scene in which the post was made was that the illuminati or whatever were on the brink of a major event, as highlighted in some well produced but flaky site and he wasn't being taken seriously. The issue was: Why were we all preoccupied with this nonsensical free energy stuff when life as we know it is going down the pan?
I'll try and find it - but, of course, it may have been deleted. But if I quoted it in my reply, I think it can't be.

Here in Alberta the majority got vaccinated and moved on with there life. Our numbers were the highest in Canada for a while but are now dropping quickly as everyone gets vaccinated. We did our part and moved on...
Most all my conservative friends here also agreed with my observation. The only Canadians not vaccinated are generally always on the far right who bought into all the American fox news propaganda. So most Canadians are fully aware that all this anti-vaccination, anti-science, anti-health care rhetoric is coming directly from your country. In Canada it's not a right/left issue it's misinformation and false propaganda coming from the U.S. specifically.
I thought it was kind of funny that most Canadians think all Americans are basically the same regardless of what they claim. So in the "We versus Them" equation your the "Them" not "We Canadians", we Canadians all stick together.
I would also note the majority of all anti-clean energy, anti-renewable energy and anti-free energy propaganda is coming from your country, the U.S. . Can you explain why that is?...

QuoteThis is observed elsewhere. I saw a news report saying that in the UK, out of 75 people in hospital or who have died from covid, 74 were unvaccinated.
In Canada we also became aware that only unvaccinated people were getting infected and ending up in hospital. We then concluded that all the unvaccinated were the reason Covid was still rising and our businesses were shut down and the economy in trouble. So in Canada there is a great deal of blowback against the unvaccinated and the U.S. propaganda which created this mess.
In Canada the pandemic seems to have brought all Canadians closer together and most see Biden/trump as the same problem. It's not a right or left issue here but extremism, inclusion and misinformation from the U.S. in general. I don't think the U.S. realizes how much credibility they have lost in the last few years.
The greater majority of all Canadians have rejected all this propaganda and are focusing on getting back to normal and moving on. I'm also done with this nonsense and have a new found focus on free energy and making progress. In my opinion the storm is just about over and were beginning to see the light...

I have my 3rd at the end of this month, 6 months since my 2nd, I will be 71 in two months' time. My father-in-law is 87 and has had 3, he has also recovered from colon cancer, and now is fitter than me.
China is having a big rise in new cases of the new strain, and there are many areas in lockdown, there is only one way to control this and that is to vaccinate, we are going to have to live with this, like it or not. I vaccinate against the flu every year and have done it for 10yrs now, it works the same way except the covid now is many times more dangerous.
You need to get real, this is not a government thing, in fact, it is a huge headache for ALL governments.

The quotation which is attributed to Mark Twain about being fooled:
Quote from: Mark Twain (ostensibly)
It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.
has certainly proved itself to be True!
Most of the commentary has been an "echo" of the Mainstream Narrative.
Thankfully, we still have a few Critical Thinkers onboard who are able to pierce the veil and discern the awful Truth about what is really happening.
The New Science, just like the New Normal, is a monstrous distortion which it seems few are able to critically examine.
Is Critical Thinking now obsolete for the many of you?
Critical thinking is innate to the thinking of most FE researchers
However
And as already mentioned
This is A very volatile topic to discuss here.. sites and persons being censored globally for such ...( and way off forum theme)
which as already mentioned ...Admin has recently stated in updated terms of service agreement ( for just this purpose) that topics which can cause issues ( which this off theme topic does )

Thanks AC for confirming once again your extremist ideology.
The sort of "progress" that you seem to be advocating is regressive and is inimical to true growth and development of peaceful and beneficial exploitation of True Free Energy.
You'll be waking up soon and will finally realize just how massively our World and its Peoples have been deceived.

What was planned to happen did indeed happen to begin the course of events which are yet transpiring and revealing what has been hidden.
Soon is relative and when the process concludes it will indeed seem soon.
Not as quickly perhaps as you were expecting, or in the manner you thought, but it is ongoing and progressing towards the desired end.
Some revelation and change has already occurred and there is much more on tap.
The pace is accelerating.
The "Narrative" is disintegrating.
Are you surprised?
Physics Prof.,
Yes, the Japanese are very innovative and highly creative.
Very intelligent and they learn new technologies very quickly.
When I first arrived in Japan in early 1961, while it was still not recovered from wartime devastation it was clearly ahead of American technology in some interesting ways.
Their determination and persistence are truly impressive.
This is where I served in Japan 1964-1968 and 1973-1977.When the U.S. Navy took over the shipyard from the Imperial Japanese Navy in 1945, the shipyard motto "Nan Demo Dekimasu" was retained.
It means: We Can Do Anything.
And they could!
As Greta Thunberg said "bla bla bla".
Everybody just keeps flapping there gums but very little ever changes more so human nature.
I heard a real free energy device will be disclosed to the public next year, that will be a real game changer. No more bla bla bla, he said she said or pie in the sky theories but a real scientific discovery which changes everything.

I'm the Engineer other people called to test and evaluate FE devices and I'm very good at my job. It's kind of cool being on the other side of the fence and I can usually tell if a device is credible within 15 minutes of seeing it. It's not rocket science, how many real FE devices have you tested or seen working first hand, I have seen many and know many FE inventors.
All the chatter and indicators I'm seeing are moving towards disclosure and very soon.
No offense but either were in the loop and understand what's going on or were not. The fact is too many people have already figured out how this works and there telling friends who tell there friends and so on. At some point it reaches a critical mass and the proverbial jig is up...

There are many ways. They can produce a unit for sale but, as you say, the secret won't last forever. They can try to, in effect, embed the business in resin and try and make it impregnable or they can try to patent an essential feature and release the drawings and MO on a licence basis.
What i am saying is: If the last option, is it likely to require major engineering or a kilo of element 115?

The basic technology uses two coils of wire and some switches. If McFarland Cook could do it in 1860 with basic hand tools in a wooden shed I'm sure many people could figure it out if they wanted. Do you consider a couple coils of wire and some switches "major engineering" because any teenager could probably put one together. In this respect the only thing lacking is knowledge and either we understand how this stuff works or we don't.

We could think of the planet it this way...
If we divide the Earths habitable area by the population we get around 2.3 acres per person or 1/2 of a square city block.
This is your space and what you do in that space matters.
-How many resources do you have?, there obviously limited so how would you use them?.
-Where would you put all your garbage, would you bury it? what about water pollution?, burn it? that's air pollution.
-You have limited stuff to burn and a limited atmosphere, will you pollute all of it?, are there enough tree's and plants?, would they survive?.
-What about your family, more people means more consumption and pollution... remember you only have 2.3 acres and limited resources.
-What about energy?, obviously you can't burn everything because it can't regenerate fast enough and there's the pollution, solar?
-What about heating and air conditioning, food, water, clothing, appliances, tools and machinery?.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if we were living within the capacity of 2.3 acres or 1/2 city block most people would have died a long time ago.
They grow too fast, consume to much, pollute too much and use grossly inefficient energy systems. Which begs the question how anyone could think we haven't effected the water, atmosphere and climate on this planet. You have 1/2 city block to survive... use it well.

With plasma arc reformers we could break down any material into basic molecules or elements. We use a high energy plasma to break it apart then chemical/catalytic reactions to put it back together in a more practical form.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_gasification
A plasma arc reformer is basically the high energy electrical version of Pyrolysis, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrolysis
We must move past the primitive notion of burning stuff and understand that matter contains all the energy we could ever want as internal motion near the speed of light. Fission/fusion simply transforms part of this motion/energy however there are better easier ways of doing it like FE devices. Matter is fluid (1% material - 99% energy) and can be taken apart, reconfigured into a different geometry and put back together in a different form.

It's stranger than you think...
We were made from the stuff our mothers ate and drank before we were born. Food is the raw materials which made us and continue to keep us alive. The food we eat is made of stuff which could have been almost anything before it was food. It could have been eaten a million times over by creatures millions of years ago. The same goes for water which could have been consumed by billions of plants and animals before we drank it.
Everything we know is made of atoms, what was made eventually gets broken down to make new stuff in a continuous cycle. The stuff your made of could be anything almost anywhere a million years from now. This is true because matter as we know it cannot be created or destroyed only transformed. So in a sense we are eternal and always transforming.
It gets even more strange...
Technically speaking, much of the stuff your mother ate which made you is still in you. You and the stuff just grew bigger but we will always carry a part of our mother and father with us.

I've been working on a project off an on since 2004. A one third scale model of a Brayton Ready Motor. This engine uses " gradual " combustion of any Hydrocarbon fuel mixed with air, under pressure. This pressurised mixture is admitted to the cylinder and ignited by a permanent pilot light within the cylinder. The action is much the same as a steam engine insofar as the expanding gases act upon the piston to create rotational energy at the crankshaft. The cylinder is " double acting " the top side compresses air into the fluted column, the air receiver. The bottom end is the expansion and power part.
This engine was designed just before Otto pioneered the now famous 4 stroke engine and George Brayton is considered a pioneer in his own right. ( Brayton cycle ). The Jet engine.
One of the problems associated with this was the constant burning pilot light, it kept going out. I'm hoping that the little experiment I did last weekend will solve the ignition problem?
https://youtu.be/vPsJa5uRNxo
I'm just a few more patterns and castings away from a finished engine!
Cheers Graham.
Very very nice work Graham, many hours work, but the satisfaction of of a finished working engine will give you such priceless satisfaction.

Yes, your workmanship is truly amazing Grum.
I agree with Centraflow about the priceless satisfaction of bringing the old machinery back to a working condition.
Your catalytic solution may do the job. I remember seeing those kinds of cigarette lighters back in the 50s.
But, if not, there are the new Plasma Flame Lighters which operate from low DC voltage quite inexpensively.
Of course, the More Natural Old Style solution is much preferred...
About the Human Waste Problem and what to do with it.
Many communities in America process the Solid Waste in Massive Digesters which produce very large quantities of Methane Gas.
This gas is used in their Gas Utilization Facility to generate Electrical Power sufficient to meet all of their needs plus adding to the local power grid.
Surplus gas can be used to augment the local Natural Gas Distribution Network.
There are other solutions as well to handle all forms of human Waste and Trash which have been developed by Secondary Education Institutions.
All we need are Well Educated Politicians, who are not beholden to Corporate Money or Agenda, to initiate and implement the New Technology.
The Carbon Sequestration Plan which is now being seriously considered will be a disaster.

Simeon recorded that last week. Yesterday was huge. I could not make it as I'm still on the chainsaw clearing up. It's eastern brown season and I need to get it cleared before the next hot day. We've already had one visit. Many of my friends could also not attend but wanted too. Our state govt is now raiding Doctors surgery's who defy the Govt and confiscating patient files. Yesterday we had 100k on the streets. Biggest protest so far.
Free firewood from the sky
Thanks for the update Jim.
I must confess I had no idea of what you were referring to about " Eastern Brown season " until I " Ducked " it. Highly venomous snakes! Those fallen trees would make a great shady spot when the sun gets up. But there's some nice kindling for next winter. O0

LOL What to the burn in the kiln to dry the it? We're meant to be heading into Summer but someone forgot to wake up the sun. Days below 20c used to be rare in November but so far we've only had one or two above 20. So when we do get a warm day these guys are active. We have copper heads as well which are venomous but the Eastern brown is an aggressive bugger a bit like the Tiger and will repeatedly bite. They are protected but when you have kids and dog like my neighbour does that goes out the window. His dogs had this one bailed up. IT's usually terriers that get killed

I have a question...
Are these groups against all vaccines, medications and health care professionals?.
I mean if they cannot trust any vaccines, medications or doctors that leaves them in a bit of a predicament if something should happen to there health in the future.
The fact is every single one of those supposed 450,000 people is going to go running to there doctor begging for help the first time they have a real health issue. They will be begging for help and probably accept whatever advice there doctor recommends. So we know what all this nonsense is really about and there not fooling anyone...

The fact is every single one of those supposed 450,000 people is going to go running to there doctor begging for help the first time they have a real health issue. They will be begging for help and probably accept whatever advice there doctor recommends. So we know what all this nonsense is really about and there not fooling anyone...

Odd assumption. Like saying because I'm not a fan of the Ford Edsell I'm anti-car. Check out how the health professionals have ended the crisis in Uttar Pradesh and countless other places. Edit. Also according to officials 90% of those marching have got the juice. This was a protest against unlawful mandates and a bill that gives our Premier totalitarian powers. The ability to disappear people without question. I thought that would concern you too.

I am also very concerned with government overreach however I would consider the pandemic to be a matter of public interest. Whenever there is any threat to the public be it floods, wild fires, droughts, diseases, pandemics, war etc. then government is compelled to act by law.
For example, here in Canada if we see an accident or someone severely injured and have the ability to render assistance we must by law. By the same reasoning we should also take action to prevent the spread of a virus which could overwhelm our hospitals and kill millions of people. Even now many people are dying because essential services and surgeries are being delayed due to Covid.
I just find it a little rude when I see people crying me, me me and exalting there rights because they may be inconvenienced as others are dying.
Even now many here seem embarrassed because of what they have said and done knowing Covid may be gone soon. They realized they overreacted and Covid may be the least of our worries. Canada is a little different than some other places and we tend to come together in times of crisis. We kind of like each other :).

AC,
You may want to look and listen here (https://www.corbettreport.com/fauci/) and here (https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Real-Anthony-Fauci/Robert-F-Kennedy/Children-s-Health-Defense/9781510766808) to expand your understanding of what has actually transpired.
It is true that the common Folk of Canada in times of crisis tend to come together and like each other, just as the Peoples of all other Nations do.
But, it is critically important, to comprehend the source and the reality of the crisis in order to plan an appropriate response.
Acquisition of Money, Power and Control should not be deciding factors in the decision making process.
The Welfare of the People is paramount.
Thanks JimBoot, got it!
Your colloquialisms actually made me Laugh Out Loud!
Ozzie Speak is a fascinating lingo.

Oh I forgot, for many the sky is always falling...
However in fact it's not and I expect by next summer we will have gotten through the pandemic and be sitting on the deck reminiscing about 2020. Don't worry, we won't bring up how silly everyone acted and the past is in the past.
As well word is next year free energy is coming out, I can't wait and things are looking up.

I understand the fear. Having lost a special aunt last year to this I made a point of finding out all I could. Before that I was 3d printing faceshields to donate to local ambos and wearing gloves and a mask outside before they said to. I Changed my position when the data changed, no politics involved, I used to consider myself on the left before this started. The 450K people on Saturday were not selfish. They are heroes. We can agree to disagree but using general slurs like AVs is simply a way to destroy any nuance in the conversation. If I do get disappeared I hope you remember this if they come for you. Compare Uttar Pradesh to Israel and if you want to discuss privately more than happy to do so. Cheer mate & good luck

It depends on where a person lives and the geography/culture.
We also had a "demonstration" in town yesterday and all of 30 people showed up with signs near an intersection. Alberta is mostly rural people and have no interest in demonstrating anything. Most like myself just did our part and carried on doing what were doing. So nobody here is "coming" for anyone...

Yet another Covid variant just came out worse than the last which the present vaccine may or may not be effective against. Anyone see a pattern here?.
We also know the mutations are coming from regions with large numbers of unvaccinated people.
In my opinion it's time to start preparing for the worst and this pandemic is far from over. Time to start prepping before the big rush...

AC,
What you've just posted is naught more than repetition of the MainStream Narrative.
There is little Truth in the Echo Chamber.
With just a little digging outside the MainStream it is possible to discover what is really going on.
You just may come to realize that you're being GasLighted Massively.
Our World is under deadly attack.
It is not planned to ever "be over."
A different point of view:

If AC insists on posting the lies from the main stream media I don't understand why it is taboo to post an alternative view.
For anyone that has even a little bit of doubt about the main stream media lies. Here is a well written SCIENTIFIC report about the fake pandemic and the continent of Africa,
https://thewashingtonstandard.com/despite-very-low-vax-rates-africas-covid-deaths-remain-far-below-us-europe/
You have to keep scrolling down the page to get all of the article. The statistics are truly amazing.
Excellent finds CITFTA!
I hadn't seen those yet. Wonderful info for those who are still able to Think Critically.
Well said Smudge, I am going for my 3rd next week, and I hope it is good enough for this strain as it will take 3-6 months to modify the present vaccine.

If you feel like you need it, get it. My problem is the censoring of drs and scientists during a pandemic. It's happening in my town. And mandatory jabbing from politicians of 5yo is bad advice esp during a pandemic. I went for a walk today with a few friends... love you all. We all must make our own decisions.

And the data is provided so you can do your own analysis.

Some strange responses...
I though my post was pretty straightforward, the pandemic is not over and new variants are coming out.
Add this to high inflation/supply chain issues and we have cause for concern. It only makes sense to stock up while prices are still low and product available.
I'm not sure why mudped and others start freaking out and this should be common sense.

In Canada we saw record heat, drought and wildfires this summer.
Now record rainfall called an atmospheric river has flooded the West and East coasts damaging many major highways. On the West coast they said the rainfall shattered all previous records causing numerous floods and mudslides. I believe both coasts have declared a state of emergency.
My brother on the west coast said most store shelves were getting empty and there were 2 km lineups for gas. What a crazy year...
Take care

There are many questions to be answered regarding the Covid pandemic! Let's take a look at a few-
1) The so called "vaccines". What is their effectiveness verses natural immunity? Are they harmful as some experts say they are?
2) PCR test. Is it accurate? What did Kary Mullis the inventor have to say about it's use for testing for any virus?
3) Why are drugs like Hydroxchloroquine and Ivermectin which are shown to be effective against the current virus, limited or not available in many parts of the world?
4) The published data on new cases and deaths. Is it accurate? Who are the sources?
I personally have had a virus with the same symptoms as Covid-19 twice. The first go around was over two weeks while the second was one or two days. My wife did not contract the virus from even though we don't practice masking, etc, and the reason I believe, is that she has been on Sulfasalazine for years. Sulfasalazine is a relative to Hydroxychloroquine.
I'm 80 years old and will never take any of the so-called "vaccines" for any Covid virus or it's variants. Why, because I have done due diligence in studying outside the news media.
IMO, this issue will divide even families because this is a war on humanity brought from the spiritual realm into the physical realm. It may end with the Great Reset. Look up the meaning of the word "re set".
To each his own!

At least there are a few of us on this forum that will think for themselves instead of blindly believing the mainstream media.
Regarding the PCR test, read here
https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-pcr-idUSKBN24420X
Sulfasalazine is a relative to Hydroxychloroquine.
They are masking drugs, they do not and are not intended to cure a disease. They may mask the symptoms of covid, which is dangerous, you may have covid and not know it, and infect someone else who becomes seriously ill and dies through complications.
My daughter-in-law is head of an ICU covid unit in the UK, she has seen devastation in her unit, even children dying (they did have underlying problems like asthma).
I can tell you more, real-time in my family, but I have to go to get ready to go out with my wife, maybe tomorrow.

Mike 8)
Mike,
With all due respect and with consideration for my ignorance, what RNA or DNA sequence are they looking for in the PCR test after say 2^30 slices? I mean after the sample taken from the nose (as in most cases) and amplified 1.072 billion times, what sequence are they able to identify? And what is it compared to? The CDC recommended 40 slices which would be amplifying the sample 1.1e12 times! I mean seriously, couldn't we assume there might be a "noise" factor involved? And the original sample taken from the subject, aren't there a number of viruses contained in the body at any given time?
I don't claim to understand the science of how Hydroxychloroquine with or without zinc works, but I have heard many testimonies of those being cured from the Covid virus even up to point of being taken off a ventilator from such treatment. My own daughter and son-in-law contracted Covid and they were administered Ivermectin which worked wonderfully without the vax.
It is sad to see all the sickness and death reportedly to be from the Covid virus but all the reports need to be qualified on the basis of existing conditions of the patients, did they receive the Covid vax and/or previous vaccinations, environmental issues, and accurate record keeping.
Are you familiar how the Amish in the eastern US handled the Covid virus. They of course refused the Covid vaccines due to their religious status and while everyone else is masking up and distancing, they gathered themselves together to worship and actually shared drinking cups to spread the virus. Most of course became ill but they allowed their own immune systems to react and as far as I know, they all survived. They now have natural immunity. Also keep in mind, the Amish take no vaccines, previous or present.

Approximately half of the World's Population is in a fear induced, Media Fed, hypnotic trance.
Essentially a Covid Cult.
Not having a clue as to how their minds were so skillfully manipulated to turn off curiosity.
High Intelligence of an individual offers no protection from the attack upon their thinking skills.
The Fear has been very effective at keeping the Cult in line with the Narrative; making believers very much afraid to look where they've been instructed not to look for answers.
Abandoning the Scientific Method for fear of being ostracized by their peers.
No matter.
People are "waking up" never-the-less.

Is this Truth?
As Partzman suggested, look at the Amish.
Or look at Japan where Covid and all "Variants" have essentially come to an end.
Do you believe what you've said to be Truth simply because it was reported via the MainStream Media?
Do you still believe that the Scientific Method has merit?
On the question of Data Analysis for Statistical Purposes:
Institutional provided data has been proved to be unreliable and misleading with severe under-reporting of adverse reactions and deaths.
Conclusive data is available, however, from the Undertakers who actually process the dead.
The reports provided by Undertakers is shocking to say the least.
Undertaker Data is not too difficult to locate.

... results indicate the Amish/Mennonite excess death rates are
similar to the national trends in the USA. The excess death rate for
Amish/ Mennonites spiked with a 125% increase in November 2020.
The impact of COVID19 on this closed religious community highlights
the need to consider religion to stop the spread of COVID-19.https://www.researchgate.net/publication/352338752_Closed_but_Not_Protected_Excess_Deaths_Among_the_Amish_and_Mennonites_During_the_COVID-19_Pandemic
I would point out this propaganda calling all health care and science into question is limited to the United States and a couple of there allies. No other civilized fact based countries have followed nor will they.
So we should recognize where this anti-science propaganda is coming from and take that into consideration.

strange website...
The overall narrative seems to imply science is elitist and a lie.
Science (from Latin scientia 'knowledge') is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the world.
Which implies they believe knowledge in the form of testable explanations or proof is elitist and a lie. Mankind has been down this road many times in the past and it never ends well. Many great civilizations grew and made great progress in all areas of science. Only to be burned to the ground by angry mobs and all there knowledge and books burned with it.
Many say the greatest minds saw the writing on the wall and fled before the violence started taking there knowledge and advanced technology with them.
They supposedly formed there own societies hidden from mankind where they were free to pursue knowledge and science without interference. Sounds like paradise, lol.
It would seem to me science, knowledge and understanding is the ultimate freedom.

which site are you referring to? Isn't this what happened with the michaelson Morley experiment? Science is confined within the "accepted" norms or there would be chaos? How do we communicate ideas unless we stay within the box of agreed parameters? Not wanting to set up a strawman but what happens to free thinkers in this context? Angry mobs are also within academia itself.

I followed mudpeds link to a video on a website. Its the usual banter about we are oppressed by the elite and science is evil.
Many misinterpreted the Michael Morley experiment and in science the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Science does not deal in absolutes and the experiment was inconclusive. That is, they didn't prove the Aether exists but they didn't disprove it either.
By the same reasoning free energy cannot be disproven by repeated failures and at best it only proves the technology is very difficult to understand. Some people obviously figured it out just not everyone.
On free thinking, scientists and inventors are always rocking the boat with new ideas and discoveries. It is generally the mainstream beliefs that wish to hold the status quo. Science and invention is disruptive which is why it tends to be overly criticized. Free thinking relates to real change not holding the status quo or moving backwards.

With respect to what we think we see happening in our world....
Evolution hardwired our brain around the four F's, food, fight, flight and finding a mate. In this respect we cannot see anything objectively and our mind creates a false reality designed for survival. More so our perception is designed to recognize threats to our beliefs which always relate to the application of the four F's.
Now we can play a game of find the greatest threat to the four F's.
1) Most see the Covid virus as the greatest threat.
2) Some see other beliefs, who also believe in the virus as the greatest threat.
3) Some see other beliefs, who don't believe in the virus as the greatest threat.
Since our mind is not objective and cannot separate the threats above it simply lumps them together. In fact our mind is predisposed to lump all threats together as a bias whether they exist or not. As it turns out I am also biased.
As such the facts, science and reality are basically irrelevant. Our mind is hardwired by evolution, beliefs, experiences and most unknowingly have no choice in the matter. The same rule applies to free energy and it's not a matter of simply wanting it. In order to understand it we must first reconcile the new perspective with all our existing perspectives.
It's very strange considering our mind is not what we think it is. It begs the question, can biased thinking even recognize its biased because it's biased?. I suppose that's the trick...

Are our thoughts truly our own or are they the result of external influencing, often referred to as "undue influence?"
Do we have a passion for finding Truth?
Do we feel a need to "go along to get along?"
In answer to your question: Does a Cult Believer ever believe that He or She is actually within a Cult and supportive of the Cult Agenda?
One would necessarily have to have some background in PsyOps and Mind Control in order to recognize the symptoms and the process.
Yes, it is indeed a Trick.

I have no interest in cults, there agendas or mind control more so our psychology and why we tend to come to the wrong conclusions.
For example, as an Engineer, 15 years ago I would have been the first to tell you free energy as I understood it is impossible. You know the drill, there is no energy to be had, you cannot get something from nothing and we cannot get more than we put in. However this mindset was solely due to my own ignorance which I now realize. To be honest I still find it baffling how I managed to get this far in this field of technology considering who I am or was 15 years ago. I don't wake up each morning thinking I'm the sharpest tool in the shed just the opposite because I have so many unanswered questions.
In all my travels the only explanation I could find was curiosity and being open to change. If we cannot change then we cannot learn because in effect learning is change. With everything we learn and can accept on the basis of the facts or justification supporting what we learned we move forward. In this respect it's on us and what others believe has little application. Either we believe something has merit and substance which deserves our attention or not.
So in many respects it's not what we know or think we know but our ability to learn and change. Which begs the question... if we leave no room for improvement then how can we improve ourselves?.

Hi Mike.
We've been recently hit by two storms in quick succession. The first, named Arwen, did some incredible damage across the country. An old friend of mine was without electricity for 3 days but there are some, in remote areas that have fared much worse.
I blame the lack maintenance since the supply industry was privatised 30 years ago. Many lines were running with rotten poles that simply snapped against the 90+ MPH winds.
I hope you have a decent wood burning stove for those lovely logs. O0

My tree was getting dangerous as the roots are shallow and it is very close to the house, it just had to be removed, just a lot of work at my age.

We tend to stay off the groomed runs and like to run the deep powder in the trees which gets a little sketchy at times.
Man I love the snow...

This is a recent video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_ROIy8PTIA) which reveals things about our Planet and our World which should be common knowledge.
It also raises many questions about why this knowledge is tightly controlled and kept from the people.
There are civilizations which do have access to free energy and capabilities of the kind which we are led to believe are sci-fi fantasy.
Star Trek may not be too far off the mark in what it has shown us with regard to what may be possible.

The video reminds me of some of Nikola Tesla's thoughts on mankind. Tesla speculated that the average person who followed the mob type mentality would never evolve and make progress. Thinking like an average person yields average results while thinking like an intelligent individual opens endless possibilities. As Tesla said, "Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when idea's are born".

What language was this statement made in? If it was his native Serbian (or Croatian?), I think the word "alone" may be mistranslated. Certainly, being alone is useful but he may be driving at being at a lower level of consciousness. Those who remember Transcendentsal Meditation (the Beatles etc in the late 60s) will know what I am driving at.

The moment I read the quote I understood what it meant as a fellow engineer/inventor. All the greatest discoveries and inventions were made by loners and individuals not groups or corporations. To "be alone" takes the idea further relating to casting off others false beliefs and biases to see the truth of a matter for ourselves. To "be alone, that is when idea's are born" relates to when truly unique idea's are born within us outside the context of popularity or the mob mentality we see today.
As they say, insanity is doing and thinking the same as everyone else and expecting a different result.
In fact, invention relates solely to new and unique ideas. Not the same old crap most peddle, not what is most popular or accepted by others but truly new and unique. Most are so immersed in society and others beliefs they cannot even wrap there mind around the concept of alone, individuality or truly independent thought.

Seems the real challenge is the transition from experimenting alone
to teaching /sharing of new discoveries ( heretofore unknown or unshared FE discoveries )
not sure how many chances we have to get this right ?
While I may not have this completely correct, in my minds eye I see Tesla as a man who tried to help this world
and humanity !

We should learn from history...
In fact there were countless credible inventors who demonstrated working technology in the past. Some were shot and there lab burned to the ground, others were killed or they simply disappeared. Many reported continually being followed or spied on and investor/partners stealing there work. I know many inventors who were duped, followed and spied on first hand. As we know not one technology has gone mainstream to date. I think this is part of the reason why most real researchers and inventors left the forums a long time ago.
With the U.S and other countries in chaos, pollution, dwindling resources and the doomsday clock at 100 seconds to midnight the last few years it doesn't look good. However pretty much all the smart people like Viktor Schauberger, Moray and Tesla told us this was coming decades ago. Nobody listened so now it's time to pay the piper... it is what it is.

I have many faults, probably more than most here but that's not the point. I understand how all this FE stuff works and it's not that difficult to understand. What I cannot understand is why paul?, why mankind always seems to want to weaponize technology because of there infantile need to dominate others often due to false beliefs. That's not on me and logically I would be better off to use said technology to protect myself from them and there false beliefs to protect myself. Mankind seems self-destructive and determined to destroy themselves but I am not thus any technology I create should serve me first for my own protection.
Would you create a technology knowing those you would give it to could use it against you?, that's beyond absurd and self-destructive. It's like giving a barbarian a gun, egging them on and feigning incredulity when then drop a round in your chest. It's just stupid by any measure...

Why didn't they stop EVs like the leaf?.
It's not a threat and I looked at many EV's which will be my next vehicle. EV's are more expensive, most have a limited range and charge stations are still an issue. The technology is disruptive however at present its a small market in North America. Norway is ahead of everyone and 60% of vehicles are EVs moving towards 80% by 2025. There wind and hydro has enough capacity to power the entire country.
There is also the fact that most in the fossil fuel industry realize it's days are numbered. Making a profit is one thing, destroying the environment and wiping out our children's future is quite another. The bottom line is only primitive people believe burning stuff is the only way to produce energy. The least intelligent most primitive people burn stuff because there not smart enough to figure out a better way of doing things. I mean even a fool with no education can burn stuff. Now try to live without burning anything, that requires real knowledge and intelligence...

Well, the psychopath Putin has finally done it, I hope there are not any pro-Russians here. Hitler II, self-proclaimed dictator hell-bent on making world history in his name. I feel very sorry for the Ukrainians.
I really don't think he is going to stop here, may take a year or more, but once he has installed his missiles on the Rumanian and Polish borders, look out for Europe. He has already obtained China on his side for all the supplies he needs. Over the last 10yrs he along with China have been setting up their own monetary system which has been used for selling oil and gas.

I think you are the one naive, Putin has made himself none removable, he is president for life, he changed the law a year ago. He has now become a dictator and anyone, in the government that would go against him would disappear, he has been doing this for years, he kills people with the flick of his fingers Most of the Russian people are against him, but also afraid of him.

I don't really agree with you on this one, AC. Right now, with a small proportion of cars being electric, as per your notes above, the effect is so serious that some governments are being forced to revise how they make money out of motorists. Road pricing is coming. Even oil companies are having to diversify. In my view, why would the forces that be put up with the nuisance if they could have avoided it by wiping out a few senior execs at Nissan? They didn't because they couldn't.

Road pricing is coming. Even oil companies are having to diversify.
Here is the real problem 99% of people are unaware of. On my last power bill 70% of it was admin fee's, maintenance fee's and a small carbon tax. The actual power was very cheap compared to all the extra fee's. If even 20% of people went off grid the system would collapse because the maintenance fee's would become excessive ie. the $1000+ power bill. It's funny, all the producers and utilities talk like there our friends until we talk about opting out then they all lose it and want to penalize us... friends indeed.
In another example our cities are also grossly unsustainable. If the cities ever stop growing income plummets, taxes go ballistic and the whole thing falls apart. Basically almost all of our economy was based on the fantasy that we could continually keep growing. It's similar to our supply chains and if any link fails the whole thing goes down.
So what we call a privatized "free market system" is anything but free. Just try to opt out of anything and we can begin to see just how little freedom we really have...

What is supposed to happen in the world before an invention enables energy independence from criminal and insane presidents?
Russia stands at the gates of Europe and destroys a state and the people experience enormous suffering. the gas prices in whole Europe rise explosively. The industry, highly dependent on process heat from gas, will experience a huge catastrophe and ordinary people will not be able to warm their houses.

That IS totally false, you need to look at the history of Ukraine before making a statement like that, I have some Ukrainian friends who can tell you the real story, look up how Ukraine became an independent democratic country from Russia.
Putin is a dictator who has gone totally insane, he wants to take back all the independent countries that were once part of the Soviet Union, which does not exist anymore, read up on your Russian history as well. Ukraine has been wanting to join the European Union, which automatically would make Ukraine part of the Atlantic alliance, NATO.
There are many false people writing and talking a lot of false rubbish, it's a very sad world we live in atm.

J.R. Nyquist Blog - https://jrnyquist.blog/
I would touch on a few key points...
1)No military deploys that much fire power to intimidate and Russia had every intention of invading Ukraine and possibly Europe from the start.
2)The western threat is a common theme globally which translates to "they are afraid of the future".
Society and technology is changing at the speed of light and many countries completely dependent on fossil fuel
revenue understand there in big trouble. Russia quite literally has no tech sector to fall back on and once oil goes they
would only have farming, heavy industry and weapons. Western farming and heavy machinery will be fully autonomous within
a decade thus Russia would be reduced to an agrarian state dealing with global warming and drought.
3)At this point Russia has nothing to lose because there finished either way.
To be cornered with very few options is a very dangerous position to be in.
There is one common theme which applies universally to what were seeing globally...
The younger generation under 30 want to move forward to become a technologically advanced society.
The older generation over 50 want to move backwards to the way things were.
We cannot do both and something has to give...

...Sorry I can't support nazis...
That's easy to say. But consider this...
Your government has become corrupt financially and oppressive to its people, and then, your president ignores the will of the people and the vote of its parliament and decides all on his own to align with Russia instead of the EU (search Euromaidan and the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement). You, mere citizens, not in control of the military or the police, decide to protest and ultimately revolt and throw that president out of office. Just as you likely would in Australia, you would welcome the assistance of your fringe neo-nazi movement, because they have weapons and the desire to fight (see Azov Batallion, a group of around a thousand militants in a population of 40 million at the time). As they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend...
With the help of this small group, you are successful in overthrowing your government and ousting the corrupt president. Russia invades in the East, so you send that same group (Azov Battalion) to fight in the east. And yes, there are all kinds of reported human rights violations due to this group as they slog it out with the Russian invaders, but again, a blind eye is given, they are doing your dirty work (war itself is a human rights violation). And yes, the west supported these neo-nazis as well, as they were willing to fight. But what would you do if Russia invaded a portion of your country, took Crimea and your offshore oil and gas?
So now, two democratically elected presidents later, the majority of the people still want to align with the EU, and are still trying to weed out the corruption that had become so common place. You are, however, somewhat between a rock and hard place with regard to your neo-nazis. You want to once again minimize their influence and make them the fringe element they once were, but hey, they fought for you, they feel they deserve more.
So yes, there is a neo-nazi presence in Ukraine (as well as in many other countries, including the USA and Australia). Today, they estimate that somewhere around 10-20% of the Ukraine military espouse to be neo-nazi, although that designation is more often associated with white nationalist extremists (this is an issue with the large military organizations of many countries).
The number of people in the military in Ukraine makes up less than 1% of their population, and 10-20% of that 1% espouse to be neo-nazi. There are also neo-nazis that are not in the military, but all in all, they represent a very small portion of the population, and their views are not the views of the majority of that population. To say you can't support Ukraine because you don't support nazis is a bit simplistic and condemns an entire country because of a fringe element that had become a necessary evil at one time.
Supporting the majority of the people of Ukraine in their fight for independence and the elimination of corruption within their government, does not have to mean you support nazis...

Jimboot,
Again, small group, amplified on news/social media by those that push an agenda. All sides put their spin on the "facts". As they say, the first casualty of war is truth, and we've heard variations of this story before in other conflicts.
However, I find it rather silly to be outraged by the "pigfat" and not the bullet itself. If an AK round is ripping thru my body, I doubt I'll be worried about what lube was used on the bullet.
In any event, if the Chechen Kadyrov would have stayed out of this conflict and within their own borders, and not bragged of their ruthless prowess in assisting Putin's conquest of Ukrainian cities, they would not be dealing with any of this. But, if something as harmless as pigfat causes a few to think twice about their involvement and go home, so be it. More lives saved...
If Chechen Muslims attacked your homeland, would all other weapons and methods of destruction be OK, but you would somehow draw the line at using pigfat on bullets because it scares the enemy due to their religious beliefs?
War is hell...

Now it's Denazification?.
This justifies my theory that most people will accept almost anything no matter how ridiculous to support there narrative.
So Putin, the ruthless dictator, who rules with an iron fist and claimed to have no fear of the West is frightened by a few neo-nazi's next door?.
It sounds kind of fickle and weak in my opinion.

https://interestingengineering.com/elon-musk-increase-oil-and-gas-output
Elon Musk calls for increasing oil and gas output
I agree with Musk and have come to understand much of mankind has proven they do not have the capacity to change.
It seems like every time we have a problem most go into denial, then claim it's not a problem then become outraged at any possible solutions.
It's even more problematic when people become so desperate and fearful there willing to overthrow there own government, start wars or even suggest using nuclear weapons. I think certain segments of society have made it pretty clear there willing to take everyone down with them if we try to force change and evolve too quickly.

If ET can interfere with ICBM launch codes and neutralizing the things perhaps
it's time for them to take control away from the psychoses and there visions of grandeur!

Jimboot,
Again, small group, amplified on news/social media by those that push an agenda. All sides put their spin on the "facts". As they say, the first casualty of war is truth, and we've heard variations of this story before in other conflicts.
However, I find it rather silly to be outraged by the "pigfat" and not the bullet itself. If an AK round is ripping thru my body, I doubt I'll be worried about what lube was used on the bullet.
In any event, if the Chechen Kadyrov would have stayed out of this conflict and within their own borders, and not bragged of their ruthless prowess in assisting Putin's conquest of Ukrainian cities, they would not be dealing with any of this. But, if something as harmless as pigfat causes a few to think twice about their involvement and go home, so be it. More lives saved...
If Chechen Muslims attacked your homeland, would all other weapons and methods of destruction be OK, but you would somehow draw the line at using pigfat on bullets because it scares the enemy due to their religious beliefs?
War is hell...

Jimboot,
Apparently you missed the points I was trying to make...
I am appalled at war in general. People die, bodies are ripped apart. War is truly horrible.
And yes, you are correct, in war, ordinary people can do monstrous things, that is the nature of all wars, regardless of sides, labels, and justifications.

Where were you when Ukraine was bombing Donbas for eight years with the death toll estimate of 14,000?
QuoteViktor Yanukovych, who had been called to the White House right after his 2010 electoral win and was asked by Obama to help to push his country toward joining NATO (though all of the opinion polls that had been taken of the Ukrainian public showed that the vast majority of Ukrainians viewed NATO to be their enemy, no friend of Ukraine).
Yanukovych said no, and the Obama Administration began by no later than 2011 to organize their coup to take down and replace Yanukovych so as to get Ukraine into NATO in order for America to become able to place its missiles only a five-minute striking-distance away from Moscow, for a retaliation-prohibiting blitz nuclear first-strike attack.
During 2003-2009, only around 20% of Ukrainians wanted NATO membership, while around 55% opposed it.
In 2010, Gallup found that whereas 17% of Ukrainians considered NATO to mean "protection of your country," 40% said it's "a threat to your country."
New Video Evidence of America's Coup in Ukraine — and What it Means
Ukrainians predominantly saw NATO as an enemy, not a friend. But after Obama's February 2014 Ukrainian coup, "Ukraine's NATO membership would get 53.4% of the votes, one third of Ukrainians (33.6%) would oppose it."
The 2014 coup in Ukraine was about two things: getting Ukraine into NATO, and seizing Russia's biggest naval base, which ever since 1783 has been in Crimea, which (Crimea) the Soviet dictator had transferred to Ukraine in 1954 while still continuing Crimea as the Soviet Union's biggest naval base. Obama, already by no later than June 2013, was planning to grab that naval base and turn it into yet another U.S. naval base.
However, in order to get that coup-installed new regime to last as being a 'democracy', Obama needed to be sure that Crimea, which had voted 75% for Yanukovych, and that Donbass, which had voted more than 90% for Yanukovych, be ethnically cleansed of those especially favorable-toward-Russia voters.
So, promptly as soon as the Obama-installed government received the reins of power in Ukraine, Ukraine's top generals were replaced by rabidly anti-Russian ones, who planned this ethnic-cleansing of those 'terrorists', in what they called their "Anti-Terrorist Operation" or "ATO," in, especially, Donbass. (Donbass is the farthest-east part of Ukraine's "East" as shown in slide 26 here, and you can see there that ONLY Crimea was even more anti-U.S. than was Ukraine's "East."
Donbass was the most pro-Russian part of that "East." Those were therefore the two regions where Obama especially needed the ethnic cleansing, the "ATO.") But it also was done in Odessa, and in other Ukrainian cities that had voted heavily for Yanukovych. This would be the 'democratic' way to produce a permanently nazi-controlled Ukraine.
The Obama Administration was demanding that Ukraine quickly conquer Donbass; and, since the only air power over that region was Ukraine's Air Force, Ukraine relentlessly bombed Donbass. One of their bombers got shot down, but that was only a minor loss for the U.S.-installed regime. Overall, the bombings caused massive devastation in Donbass.
Nonetheless, the U.S. Government's hopes for a military conquest of Donbass were not fulfilled; and this got us to the current situation.
When, on 15 February 2022, the U.S. Government closed its Embassy in Kiev and relocated it to Lviv (which is the Ukrainian city that was the most ardently pro-Hitler during WW II), it scrubbed from its computers, and from the Web, its correspondences concerning the secret joint U.S.-Ukrainian bioweapons labs that have been built in Ukraine since the Obama coup. (Fortunately, at that link, one can find archived versions of those destroyed documents.) The U.S. Government likewise had established secret Pentagon bioweapons labs in Georgia.
The U.S. Government not only allows Ukraine to firebomb Donbass, but America's think tanks that have discussed those firebombings have said the Ukrainian Government needs to do more of it.
Ukraine's nazis also target school buses, so as to kill children, in parts of Ukraine that had voted heavily for Yanukovych.
Furthermore, in the more rightwing parts of Ukraine, nazis are invited into classrooms in order to spread anti-Russia hate and provide literature encouraging the students to join their movement.
This was the situation before Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022.

Agreed, all we need to know is that Ukraine wanted to be free of Russia's Communist dictatorship.
So this argument that the West was interfering in Ukraine and to blame for there independence is nonsensical.
I'm sure they were more than smart enough to figure out there own freedom was in there best interests.
As Ronee implied...
The far right and GOP are now pushing the narrative that Russia is a victim and communist dictatorships are a good thing.
This could be the lead up to them trying to overthrow the government by force again like the Jan 6 insurrection.
I'm not sure how this became acceptable, in the old days treason was a crime punishable by prison, now it's a new fad, lol.
Has the world lost it's mind?.
AC
This should be a real concern to the free energy community...
No Communist/Authoritarian/Dictatorship would ever allow any free energy technology to ever go mainstream, period.
It would never be allowed because the goal is to control the population limiting all freedom and independence to serve the interests of the few.
This is why places like Russia and China make inventors disappear or send them and there family to the gulag.
Thus anyone promoting communism or dictatorships is obviously against free energy and our goals here.
We should also be clear that people on far right spectrum tend to believe clean, renewable or free energy is a hoax and should be banned. They promote the continued use of fossil fuels to sustain jobs or the status quo at the expense of the population and environment. If a far right authoritarian government took power we can be sure all free energy technology would be banned.
So supporting these groups or there narrative is not in the interests of the free energy community.

Indeed, and like any cult nobody is allowed to go off script. What tRump/Fox news claims is the gospel and everyone must follow along.
It's kind of neat to watch tRump/Fox news say something then just like clockwork all the far right media sources lap it up. They say "Putin is smart to invade Ukraine" and like magic Putin is the victim and Ukraine nazi, liberals, cabal loving bla bla bla. Then it goes viral on social media, comment sections and forums like this.
The psychology is fascinating as well. It's the typical brainwashing by repetition/association, getting hooked on countless fake websites spewing the same propaganda. Each website linked to the others and each using others lies as the foundation for new lies. So these websites are real cash cows raking in millions of viewers hooked on all the drama like a soap opera.
However I will say this, by no means should anyone underestimate the far right or left extremists. In effect there life has become reality tv and they cannot tell the difference between what is real and imaginary. Like the Jan 6 insurrection they have no idea what there even doing and running on emotions. This makes them a very real danger to themselves and those around them.

Ron
Ron,
I dislike posting politically charged content on this forum, but your rather one sided rewrite of history conveniently leaves out a few facts.
The revolution was not about joining NATO, or even the EU. Although there was the desire by some in Ukraine to join the EU (or even NATO), Ukraine was in bad shape economically with corruption having been a very real problem for many years. The EU was already dealing with the economic mess in Italy and Greece, and had little interest in letting Ukraine join the EU. The EU did agree to test the waters, so to speak, and offered to provide some loan guarantees, free trade, and visa free borders so that Ukranians could work in EU countries, but only pursuant to Ukraine working on cleaning up its corruption. This was the "Ukraine-EU Association Agreement" that the Ukrainian parliament passed by a large majority. Instead of ratifying that agreement, Yanukovych defied the paliament's vote and decided to side with Russia and take the $15 billion offered by Russia. The people of Ukraine saw this as just more corruption as usual, rebelled, and removed Yanukovych.
Very soon after the revolution, Russia began building up troops along the eastern border of Ukraine claiming they were just military exercises. At the same time, the Russian speaking people in the Donbas and southeast regions held protests against the newly installed Ukrainian government. Putin saw this as an opportunity and sent in weapons and soldiers wearing no insignias, later to become known as "little green men", to inflame those protests and turn them violent while he invaded Crimea. Ukraine responded in kind and sent their military to the region to fight the little green men, which Putin then used as justification to launch artillery barrages from the Russian side of the border into Ukraine and openly invade those regions with tanks, artillery, and more soldiers. So began the Donbas War.
Regarding Obama, he is often laughed at by rightwingers in the US for only sending blankets to aid the Ukranians in their struggle to retake Crimea and the eastern portion of their country. Although likely not true, that is how the right wing sees the restraint given at the time.
So now its 2022 and once again, under the guise of being just military exercises, Putin places troops along Ukraine's borders with Russia and Belarus and then once again invades Ukraine and threatens to use nuclear weapons against any country that comes to their aid.
Although I doubt any of the many countries involved have any moral high ground upon which to stand, the fact is, Russia has now invaded Ukraine twice in the past 8 years and is now threatening the entire world with nuclear war.
This is not a soccer game where fans cheer on their favorite team in hopes of a win. Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a serious threat to everyone on the planet, complete with all the horrors of war, innocent people dying, and a humanitarian crisis of epic proportion.
That should, at the least, make everyone feel very sad...
Very well explained PW, and I agree an energy site is not really for promoting wars.
At least this is a thread about our window on the world and not free energy.
On another note my wife's business email account has been hit with porn mails via Google drive from Russia, 100s a day which mainly go to a not desired folder and deleted, but occasionally one gets through to the main page and has to be manually removed.

I agree however everything is always interconnected through cause and effect...
If we do nothing to counter the false narratives it could continue to escalate and effect us in ways we never could have imagined. For example...
Fake news/misinformation>>>civil unrest>>>political division>>>overthrowing governments>>>dictatorships>>>war
So I have little interest in Left/Right politics other than the fact it could easily snowball out of control effecting everyone. As such we should not take any of this misinformation lightly and it has taken us to the point where nuclear war could be a possibility.
No offense to anyone but it almost seems as if many want to destroy mankind. They have bought into false narratives that have no good outcome and are almost suicidal. Damnedest thing I have ever seen and I'm not sure what to make of it.

As a theist I would think you would understand the virtues of not judging as well as anyone. For when we judge it opens up the possibility of us being judged in the same way.
By your reasoning I could then say your primitive beliefs not based on logic, reason and facts are not compatible with mine therefore I could never share my knowledge of technology with you. I could never trust you in the same way you mistrust Harari.

By "other stuff" are you referring to the many overunity devices you have claimed to personally witness? If so, like an episode of Star Trek, are you waiting for our civilization to achieve "warp capability" before you would feel the world is ready for these technologies?
A large majority would likely agree that global warming, energy related wars, poverty and starvation would be sufficient cause to release these technologies to the public...
PW
In order to go faster that light speed you would have to no longer 'physical'
because only physical things have to obey physical laws.
Any way regarding 'Star trek' isn't FE just 'impulse technology', I think so.

I can only partially understand this position. Yes, there is hatred in the world and countries that are not technologically advanced and have financed their existence from fossil resources will now have to set a course with the end of the fossil age: Either they will have to upgrade technologically to be able to keep up with the world market and therefore change their current business model (best example Saudi Arabia which wants to become the biggest exporter of hydrogen for the world in 10 years) or they will lose the connection and fall back into a peasant state. This fear coupled with little intelligence / corruption and no sense of domestic politics will have to wage wars to preserve their existence.
Efforts are underway all over the world to build renewable energy. The end of the fossil fuel age is near and who does not go along now has lost. In my country (Germany) so far great efforts have been made with the expansion of wind and photovoltaics, but even this technology has an environmental impact that many citizens can not support (destruction of the landscape). We have days where 80% of the energy comes from renewables, on other days it is 40%, but these are of course not plannable.
If now is not the right time to introduce such a technology (FE), when will it be? The state of the planet will only get worse.

Much of mankind still lives in the mystical age where false beliefs dominate. As many older people have said, they believe what they do and no amount of facts could ever change there mind. Most also become hostile when there beliefs are challenged or confronted with the unknown. Now imagine a world where everyone believes there right about everything being proven wrong. We already know what happens from history and chaos ensues.
I believe this premise holds true...
"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it." ― Max Planck
We seem to be stuck in a generational gap again with the new generation wanting to evolve and move forward while most of the older generation is still stuck in the past. In effect, the boomers, or 55 years and older would never allow any drastic change and were basically waiting for them to die off so we can move forward. We know this is true and see it everywhere, most older people want nothing to do with change of any kind while the young demand it. So at this point it's a waiting game...
A massive shift in technology is already taking place and by my estimates a major transition should occur in about 10 years.

Interesting diatribe and it only goes to prove my point...
Russia is a dying state ruled by a bunch of backward thinking 70+ year old men.
They want to go back to the 1950's when they had some relevance because they have no future. The whole list is essentially an argument against evolution and moving forward. That's what all this is really about, a bunch of desperate old men trying to cling to the past in the little time they have left.
Consider that tRump, Biden, Putin and Xi Jinping will be dead or irrelevant within 10 years. Obviously someone much younger with new idea's will need to replace them. So progress is coming whether we like it or not... Progress waits for no man.

If you believe that lot, then you'll believe that there is a B-17 bomber on the moon because the Sunday Sport showed a picture on its front page.
You Russian apologists sure know how to see life with rose tinted spectacles. But of course, if you didn't, you'd get 15 years for anything you say, wouldn't you?
Putin is cream crackered. He failed with his grand march southwards towards Kyiv - partly because many vehicles were badly maintained and broke down - tires failed - engines ran out of fuel - several very high ranking generals got shot. Why were they even there? Because it was such a mess that someone had to sort it out.
Now he will have to explain the body bags coming back.
You and your associates will be thinking that, in the final analysis, the only person who will stand in court for war crimes will be Putin. Learn from WW11. There must have been 800 to 1000 who got tried. And you will be amused to note that Lord Haw Haw was one of the first to swing.

Hi guys,
Benjamin Fulford posts some good stuff on occasion, although much needs to be taken with a grain of salt.
The following seem to be right on the money...
QuoteNow let us look at the final phases of the still ongoing WWIII. Here the Russian military operation in Ukraine has flushed these Satanic criminals out of the closet and into the full view of humanity. On December 2021 Russia initiated a UN resolution condemning Nazism, racism etc. and 130 nations supported it while only two, the US and Ukraine, opposed it. And yet now magically, the Khazarian mafia wants us to believe that 141 nations voted at the UN to condemn the Russian move to deal with these Nazis.
QuoteThe real situation can be seen by looking at the lists of nations that support sanctions against Russia versus those who do not. The Middle East, India, most of Asia, South America, Africa etc, are not supporting the isolation of Russia. Basically, if you take the world population to be 8 billion, you see 7 billion supporting Russia and one billion still going along with the KM.
QuoteThat is because the Chinese foreign ministry and the Russian foreign ministry have sent proof to the military and intelligence agencies of the planet that the KM and their so-called Biden regime in the US have set up 336 biological weapons laboratories around the world and have been releasing deadly pathogens in an attempt to murder most of humanity. This is not a so-called "conspiracy" blog we are talking about, it is the government of China speaking in public and on the record.

While this may be true it still does not explain why in the last 200 of Ron's posts only 4 related to free energy and 2 where simply to say he agreed with something.
That's 196 posts out of 200 peddling toxic misinformation and links to the same bs.
I have a theory on what could be happening in the forums...
The standard operating procedure of this far right movement is to corrupt and degrade from within. Such as doubt and distraction showing hundreds of non-working builds. Then they get to say, look at me I'm a real builder and you should follow me down the rabbit hole and waste years of your time. This based on the "appeal to purity" fallacy that only real builders know what there talking about. Even if none have ever shown or were even remotely close to building any working technology.
The fossil fuel industry excels at this fallacy having literally hundreds of supposed "green" organizations or funds with no interest in anything clean or green. They are designed to infiltrate those who oppose there interests and spread fear, doubt and confusion.
We also know that basically everyone on the far right spectrum holds a few core beliefs.
1)The return to an authoritarian church state.
2)A return to fossil fuels and to inhibit or outright ban clean/green/free energy and electric vehicles.
3)To abolish any freedom of choice they deem unworthy.
4)They are almost always anti-science, anti-facts.
All these beliefs are obviously contrary to our goal here and nobody on the far right would ever allow free energy to go mainstream. Do you understand?, all the core far right beliefs are not compatible with free energy. There beliefs literally go against everything free energy stands for.
Did it ever occur to anyone that countless people like Ron building so many things and then failing was the goal?. To pretend to build something and then show it cannot work to cast doubt and confusion. Where my message is to promote energy independence/freedom, that free energy is real and I have seen it in action many times and you should try to make an effort to understand it. Very much unlike the toxic bs Ron is posting...Facts matter.

This echoes what I have suspected for several years. People come on board with a pulse motor and expect that it is OU. Why should it be? I remember Patrick saying at a meeting that a device is unlikely to be OU unless one can point to that part of the cycle where the energy is "re-gauged". The Takahashi device on Bearden's site is a good example. I suspect the motive of some people.

Hi Guys,
It disturbs me that so many people on this forum support the American killing machine, now in Ukraine.
Since 1945 the US has killed 20 to 30 million people in at least 37 countries world wide.Where is the outcry?
If I post in protest I am immediately trashed... unbelievable.
Here is an excerpt from the Rand report of 2019:
QuoteAccording to their analysts, Russia remains a powerful adversary for the United States in certain fundamental sectors. To handle this opposition, the USA and their allies will have to pursue a joint long-term strategy which exploits Russia's vulnerabilities. So Rand analyses the various means with which to unbalance Russia, indicating for each the probabilities of success, the benefits, the cost, and the risks for the USA.
Rand analysts estimate that Russia's greatest vulnerability is that of its economy, due to its heavy dependency on oil and gas exports. The income from these exports can be reduced by strengthening sanctions and increasing the energy exports of the United States. The goal is to oblige Europe to diminish its importation of Russian natural gas, and replace it by liquefied natural gas transported by sea from other countries.
Another way of destabilising the Russian economy in the long run is to encourage the emigration of qualified personnel, particularly young Russians with a high level of education.
In the ideological and information sectors, it would be necessary to encourage internal contestation and at the same time, to undermine Russia's image on the exterior, by excluding it from international forums and boycotting the international sporting events that it organises.
In the geopolitical sector, arming Ukraine would enable the USA to exploit the central point of Russia's exterior vulnerability, but this would have to be carefully calculated in order to hold Russia under pressure without slipping into a major conflict, which it would win.
In the military sector, the USA could enjoy high benefits, with low costs and risks, by increasing the number of land-based troops from the NATO countries working in an anti-Russian function.
The USA can enjoy high probabilities of success and high benefits, with moderate risks, especially by investing mainly in strategic bombers and long-range attack missiles directed against Russia.

Being a free energy forum it is interesting to ask. "why don't we have free energy" ? The simple obvious answer is because our controllers don't want us to have free energy. Thus my posts have been directed to raising the awareness of the group as to what was taking place in the world and we will have free energy only if we can break free of the cabal.
The great reset sets out their goal but they have run into more opposition than they thought. Their headquarters was Ukraine but Putin has gone in and destroyed all their Bioweapons labs (13 to 30, pick a number) stopped the money laundering, stopped the child trafficking, preempted the fascist planned strike on Donbas on the 15th, and ruined their dirty bomb false flag at Chernobyl.

Hi guys.
For those members with a more mechanical interest I have been busy doing what I used to do as a business back in the day. Having recently found a decent Iron foundry that's happy to do small batches of castings I decided to scale a couple of early pioneer stationary engines.
The pictures show various stages of pattern making and the videos of the two engines running for the first time.
The Little Otto is a scale model of N.A. Otto's patent Caloric engine of 1873. The full size engine was scraped in the 1930's No models currently exist.
The Robinson Oil engine ( circa 1895 ) is done in 1/3rd scale and running on Paraffin/Kerosene it uses a permanent lamp to both aid ignition and vaporisation. The full size engine is a sole survivor.

Clarence Thomas won his confirmation by elucidating Natural Law. Opening a new dimension of Law for the public proved his worthiness. That qualification was broken when he turned his back on Natural Law, saying a woman's reproductive Rights, if any, must instead derive from the Constitution. The implicit promise was to uphold the Top Level Domain status of Natural Law. The first time a Natural Law case comes up, he shoots it down.

What is natural about murdering your own child?

Hi guys.
For those members with a more mechanical interest I have been busy doing what I used to do as a business back in the day. Having recently found a decent Iron foundry that's happy to do small batches of castings I decided to scale a couple of early pioneer stationary engines.
The pictures show various stages of pattern making and the videos of the two engines running for the first time.
The Little Otto is a scale model of N.A. Otto's patent Caloric engine of 1873. The full size engine was scraped in the 1930's No models currently exist.
The Robinson Oil engine ( circa 1895 ) is done in 1/3rd scale and running on Paraffin/Kerosene it uses a permanent lamp to both aid ignition and vaporisation. The full size engine is a sole survivor.

Hi Carroll. If something hears, recognizes, and remembers your voice, then it is a child. Before that, it was a developing embryo. Under Natural Law, a mother's right to miscarry an embryo is inalienable and can't be vetoed by writing something down and saying THAT'S the law. The First Law of Morality is Self Preservation. And that includes avoidance.

Hi Jerry,
No matter how you try to rationalize it, the murder of an unborn child is still murder. And it is NOT natural. There is nothing natural about it. I don't know where you got that First Law of Morality is Self Preservation because I know many people that would not agree with that. Our First Law of Morality is to treat others as we want to be treated. I am quite sure no normal person alive today wants to be killed.

Please, spare us the stupidities of religious beliefs dating from a middle-age obscurantism.
An embryo is not yet a human being, so eliminating it is not murder.
When it is said that what is "NOT natural" should be avoided, this is also a stupid belief and a denial of the human condition, the artificial being the natural of man.
It's a little hypocritical that someone from the home of mass murder would feign caring about human life. It's even more of a joke when the bible thumpers champion fossil fuels knowing pollution kills more people than all other diseases combined. Sorry, you have zero credibility and have proven to be liars...

I'm not debating the abortion. I'm venting because Clarence Thomas lied through his teeth to secure a position on the Supreme Court. Now he's vetoed Inalienable Rights under Natural Law, which is where they derive. Something has to change, or we'll lose all of our rights.

Indeed, many cannot seem to help or control themselves and seem determined to force there beliefs on others through sheer repetition.

A Scientology recruiter stopped by and showed me their chart. He let me see the back side too. He said I could focus on it as much as I want. "I've been shocked more than 200 times". He said an electrical shock, unforutantly, rearranges the Engrams. Once this happens, even one time, their programming is not effective. He left and I went on to get shocked some more times.
The concept of self can reasonably, on some level, include one's individual family unit. Good for the unit equals good for the self. From this perspective, an entire community must achieve, maintain, and exert self control. Even at a local level. Imposing moral conjecture onto a different self is a form of tyranny. Tyranny is not good for the self, and must be transcended. This IS a New Age. Now, shadow government' appointees are dismantling controls considered on the good side, even if not perfected. But, the New World Order is Democracy, which must be preserved.

I find your intolerance towards religious people disturbing.
I talked to someone earlier this morning, about finishing up her degree course and getting her professional certifications. When asked when it would be finished, she reached right up into the air between us and pulled the air callender down. After swirling her finger a little, she jabbed a spot, and told me the month and year. I thought that was pretty cute, so when I left, I turned away with a body snap, then walked out. I'm tricky too.

Hey. Don't have those out here on this part of the road to the Grand Canyon. I did have a bob cat until the 'yotes got it.
I heard that a grisley attacked a four year old girl. She put her hand down its throat and killed it.
I went to the casino late one night. I asked him how to play on the dice table. I did what he said, and won 21 times in a row, with my $2 bets. They must have got me on video or something. Now it's like "YOU stay out of this town". At that time, I didn't understand that it's unethical to 'take' money from a casino. I wonder if I'll ever live that down.

Just heard a tornado touched down not far from here. Few people dead, houses destroyed and a dog got impaled up in a tree. The wife said if it gets bad we should go to the basement. I had to correct her and say only a fool would try to hunker down in the basement. The correct move is to see it coming, jump in the truck and "get the hell out of Dodge". I mean how in the hell does a person not see a tornado coming?. I could watch my dog run away for two days here on the prairies...

Nighttime is deadliest

My daughter had close call in NYC area Wednesday last week
Hit right over her house
Was like some angry monster went around twisting trees off stumps and weeding oaks

It is otherworldly
Some reading here are in much higher risk areas !
We're under tornado watch tonight in North east USA
Be safe
It's a scary planet sometimes!
Underground is typical safe place ( storm shelters specifically designed
Speaking of twisters - and I don't want to downplay or distract from the devestation and tradegy occurring else where - but I just saw something highly unusual. Out here in NW Arizona we have twirleys. Basically a dust devil which can spin in either direction. One of them hit a friend's house and his new roof cost him $23 thousand. Sometimes they don't even have any dust. They just look like transparent space time graphs moving along their way. This time, there were two of them, spinning clockwise, one right behind the other. I mean, they were really close together. Then, the whole mass started rotating, clockwise, and I saw it was a group of four of them, each spinning, with the whole thing rotating. I can see how something like that could be engineered, but then a natural occurance like that might be unlikely. So now I'm remembering the times I've wondered if some of those twisters are 'engineered'.
Keep going.

Hi All.
A recent chance find on eBay ended up being mine, a Lowne patent atmospheric engine. Robert Mann Lowne got his first patent granted around 1859/60. This engine is definitely over 150 years old. Very crudely made from a few cast Iron parts but mainly Brass and Copper soft soldered together. The flywheel is 6" in diameter. I have spent a couple of weeks making the missing parts and bringing this little engine back to life.
The working principle is really quite simple. The heat from the Bunsen style flame is drawn into the cylinder via an open port and almost completely fills the volume. Just before the bottom of the stroke a flap is mechanically operated to close the cylinder and the heated air is rapidly cooled via the water jacket. The vacuum produced allows atmospheric pressure to act upon the piston externally and the power stroke is developed. Just before the piston reaches the top any unspent fluid is exhausted and the cycle repeats. They are known as flame gulpers today.
The power output is minimal but at a time before the advent of electric motors and the IC engine they were used to drive very small loads. The Lowne company also made a twin cylinder version too.
https://youtu.be/XlNV5MYvNfs
There's only a handful left that survive today and I feel really lucky to own one. The photos show mine as it arrived and a friend's twin cylinder from which I was able to make the missing parts from.
Cheers Graham.
Great engine, Graham! The technical heritage is to be treasured.

That is just the basic Tesla Switch circuit without the switches. There is a very long thread about that on the Energetic Forum. Matt Jones, David Bowling, John B. myself and many others spent several months working on that project. Eventually the batteries do run down. Especially if you try to pull any really useful power from them.

Yes, I see. Thank you, Cifta.
And thank you Chet for that.
I should have also added that because this circuit recycles the energy it also allows you to get several times the energy from the batteries than if you just connected the load to the batteries directly. But because of resistance and heating losses the batteries do still run down eventually. We never found a good way to use the recycled energy to also keep the batteries charged so they didn't run down.

I've spent some time building iterations of this in the past. As coils on the same or separate cores the result seemed pretty conventional.
I suspect if there is an OU mechanism it requires all three coils to be laid directly on-top of one-another so there is a dielectric potential+interaction between coils as well as magnetic. Perhaps Centraflow's coil design but with this kind of driver? ???

PTFE and aluminum foil on a PVC background or similar (Gutter works well)
Surprising levels of voltage can be achieved! (I saw 2+v) Performance drops off with use for every config I have tried. (3-4/5ths)
Many cells should be constructed each with its low loss signal diode. (in parallel)
Someone should start a thread on TENG technology..
50w/sq.m is nothing to scoff at.
I'm sure other ways exist besides the precisely adjusted setup used by the original researchers.
It's all about surface area. 3D printer is undoubtedly the best way.

Hi Guys.
I shared this video with Chet earlier today and he's asked me to share here with the forum. I'm very pleased to present the first working model of the 1872 Patent Brayton Ready-Motor at 1/3rd scale. This project has been ongoing since 2004 but mainly sat on the shelf waiting for an Iron foundry with enough experience to cast the quite large components. The engine runs using the Brayton cycle where compressed air and fuel are mixed and combusted as the piston is at the bottom of its stroke. The upper half is compressing the next charge of air that's stored in the hollow vertical column. A high tension spark is used during the combustion process. At the time the Brayton engine was the most powerful of IC engines available.
https://youtu.be/6oKZSLgpDJI?feature=shared
To my knowledge this is the first small scale model to actually work using the Brayton cycle and my model is the only one in existence.
Cheers Graham.
Looking great Graham, as usual O0

Hi Itsu.
Ah yes, the " judicial tap " instrument.... ;D You're quite right about its use in fine tuning. The eccentrics are fixed to the crankshaft by small grub screws. In order to adjust the valve timing the flywheel has to be pulled forward to allow access to the eccentric bosses. The flywheel is held firmly on the shaft by a taperd Gib head key. This needs some quite " persuasive " force to remove and replace.
Cheers Graham.

Hi Classic.
I don't really know about the engines fuel consumption it was built for the purpose of display and demonstration of the Brayton cycle. At the time G B Brayton had invented the most powerful of IC engines on the planet but it was superseded, very quickly by the now familiar Otto cycle.

Dear Mr Grey.
I assume you were referring to the Hydraulic ram pump? Invented by the Montgolfier brothers. Definitely a free energy device in one respect however they used 19/20ths of drive water to move the remainder up the hill. I built several of these over the years that provided water from our stream up to a small water feature much higher up the bank. I proved that they can operate under water too!
I also recall reading about a pump from an American inventor that was using a form of resonance system that could hold the delivery column by creating nodes in it. A variable speed motor drove a crank that pushed a diaphragm in a chamber with a non return valve on the input side. The speed was varied until the correct resonance was found and the water moved with much reduced energy consumption than that of a conventional water pump.
I cannot remember where I found this article on the internet but now no reference can be found.
Cheers Graham.

We have a friend from Holland who has remarkable ability to find things like this
( Dealing with water)
Will see if he can help?
Sounds really neat
Here's a picture of the hydrofoil board I built this spring to test the monofoil (one wing) design. I also built/tested many two wing foils last year which use a larger main wing up front, fuselage and smaller tail stabilizer wing. The mono foil was surprisingly stable and lifted myself and the board out of the water around 2 mph and cruised around 10 mph behind the boat. We also tried a little wake surfing which was interesting.
The board, mast and foil use a shaped wood core covered in two layers of fiberglass then painted and waxed. This winter I plan on building a new canard based foil which has the main wing in the rear and a smaller stabilizer fin up front. I'm also working on a computer controlled/stabilized foil using a 3 axis gyro and waterproof linear servo actuators I built. In theory the foil control should come up to a predetermined height/depth Z then help dampen movement on the X, Y axis.

I hope to learn more hands on with water foils

What voice cloning service did you use ?
I used Eleven labs. I tried the open source F5-TTS but it could not get the Aussie accent. Itsu Noggin = head. Here are a couple of fails from FLUX.1 . I thought the prompt was good.

Finally finished writing my book! I went a step further and created an audio version by cloning my voice using AI. Even my mum can't tell the difference. I also fine tuned a model on my noggin to create the cover image. WHat a world.
AI is here to stay and we better embrace that fact. However it is about seeing the bigger picture too and to not fall in the habitual behaviour of 'enslaving' something that is 'different' from us and see it as a beatifull creation that perhaps even can merge with us one day. But that can only work if it is imbued with something at its core that is unbreakable and unshakeable: Love. Nothing else will work to 'align' it into obeins like the many teach 'leaders' think. It can only 'align' with having perhaps 8 billion worth of people tell it what their version of 'love' means. 8 billion views and perspectives on the same word is the only way to 'align' it with our mutual 'goals'.
Is this true? ???

Hi Mike I do agree with Verpies and I can't remember who said it but "In war the truth is the first casualty" comes to mind,As does Starlin's "The victors write the history books" To try and find a balanced view is I find very hard. f.y.i. I tend to this broadcaster 'Neil Oliver' and note his observation as energy being a weapon of control ,well you certain sure know that to be true.

Hi Duncan
I was not disagreeing with him, I was actually agreeing, it all depends on where the "news" comes from, atm we know a lot about this in Spain atm, they are called bulos here.
The opposition create lies to try to cause problems for governments, the problem is 75% of the population are gulable.

Ps. Hope you are well.
Perhaps Michael as you told me once face to face 'naive' might be a better word than gullible. ?
As your very aware I imagine I tried my utmost to keep folks on this forum many of who I regarded as friends well away from the 'clot shots' .
Well as you know I got shot down because I insisted an 'exponential logarithmic function' resulted in a straight infinite line. (oddly I still do) only questioning perhaps if in the far distance of infinite can 'straight parallel lines' exist.
Ah well It's spilt milk and years ago now but my frustration and anger especially when writing a little drunk certainly did me no favours.
I was acutely aware although responding to an individual that many hundreds were reading that thread .
Hindsights a great thing apparently and some things I'm aware of now I didn't consider for a moment back then – for instance that the forum owner and organiser could be potentially sued for something I might write or present , - my apologies Peter I simply assumed I alone was responsible for my own words, and if anyone so wished to sue me I suggest they would quickly have discovered the imaginary number 'the square root of zero' really is F'all and not -b.
As for being well – I'm pretty good Michael thanks in some part due to you .
We've both smashed the three score and ten thing so there's a few bits grumbling here and there as you'd expect. :)
Even w.r.t that I owe you a big thank you Michael , your comments on vibrational dislocation and effect, in time caused me to build some primitive Rife equipment (because I had to) I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis (horrid and officially incurable.)
Frequency treatment halted it in its tracks very quickly, as you suggested it might years ago referencing cancer ,
Indeed big C was the next hurdle for me. Being of a certain age some three years ago I was invited to attend a NHS health check
after various probes investigations and painful rectal biopsies the verdict was out

again I ignored all official medical advice from then on and decided to take my chances on frequency dislocation – Well Mike it obviously worked or we would not still be able to QSL

Hi Smudge
Very sorry to hear about your wife, I know she was not well, but you must keep busy.
I will see what I can do about that.
Mike
well I echo that of course and look forward to clashing swords with either of you again . To lose a wife is a hard thing to deal with Smudge .
The years even harder and alas there's only one winner in that last contest. Bless smudge I hope you come back on forum and rock and roll seriously again, even though our engines and drive chains are very different I do drop into depression now and again - and yes mike is right try to get busy . all said and done - Life is precious
Kind regards Duncan
Smudge,
My condolences to you for your loss. Having also been through that door, I can only say try to remember the former days and the enjoyable moments you had together rather than the difficult latter days. It will take time, but I hope you find your way back to the forum as your expertise is highly regarded and valued.

Dear Cyril.
Jules and I send our sincerest condolences.
I can definitely recommend a supplement as recommended by our resident physician Doctor Verpies.... ;)
Lions Mane.
He recommended it to me after my series of strokes. Though quite seriously physically impaired my mental agility has definitely improved since I started his regime.
Cheers Graham.
Oh Cyril, what nothing I can write will make you feel better. Just don't be alone in your loss. There are still people out there to whom you are as important as Maureen was to you...

Being of a certain age some three years ago I was invited to attend a NHS health check after various probes investigations and painful rectal biopsies the verdict was out 'aggressive prostrate Cancer' ...
For `prostrate cancer` (sic!) I have seen this substance have an amazing effect:
https://youtu.be/5Q5QjEPGNNg
Hi Verpies Thanks for the advice , as I suggested I was diagnosed some years ago and under-went all the test procedures you might expect including rectal biopsies and various scans.
As you might imagine after the planned demic scam I have a very low opinion of so called national 'health services' especially as being a self employed Electrical Engineer during that scam demic I was emergency called to a care home with a tripping ring main problem effecting three rooms and more particularly the heating.
I had no option but to visit rooms and patients that where there and where, alas even their own relatives were not allowed .
Having in a different life had some medical training I was acutely aware of diamorphine and midazolam and the respective doses , entering a room with a young man in it (or at least a little younger than me) I could see he was in distress and pulled the alarm cord . I also checked the guys syringe driver . I found Midazolam in quantities that would probably roll over a Rhinoceros !
The nurse informed me he had a normal response, and they were making him 'comfortable' 'nothing to see here' and to get on with my own job. I thought he'd quickly be very comfortable for a very long bloody time. Amen
As I worked from room to room as casually as I could I checked other syringe driver's here and there and found them all on pretty much the same setting .
To this day and its just my opinion you understand as my medical status, such as it was, had expired some years ago and required refreshing every three years anyway still I'm quite convinced I was watching organised murder being carried out the same thing happening across the country and in other parts of the world
Whilst I was reasonably happy to allow all the diagnostics to take place I decided to absolutely refuse anything 'intrusive' I quite simply don't trust the pharmaceutical 'industry' or many of its gullible foot solders.
I did however value and require the diagnostic skills especially as it was confirmed by three different procedures in three different hospitals.
I did and still have quite a lot of Rife equipment but avoided using specific prostate frequency sets until the NHS had finished its diagnostic testing . The NHS advice was 'immediate surgery' which I refused .
I did however start running prostrate cancer longitudinal frequency sets through an Argon gas filled Phantatron 24 hours a day .
After 8 months I presented myself at the local clinic and requested a PSA test ( not a particularly reliable test I know Verpies) however it showed rapid remission. Compared to the MRI , biopsy and PET results.
At this point Verpies the treatment you mention somewhat muddies the picture . You see previously and for many years I have been plagued by flair ups of the agonising condition ankylosing spondylitis which as your no doubt aware is officially incurable – Having found the specific frequency (although frequency is entirely the wrong term for longitudinal transmission) It took just a few days to remove that blight from my life .
I joined a forum specific to AS and have since helped many others escape the condition including ironically a GP in Hexham. However here's the problem Verpies – I would have liked to experiment with the equipment and the condition for the sake of others but I couldn't . quite simply AS was gone and has never returned .
As you could possibly imagine Verpies once I had decided to kick any NHS treatment into the long grass regarding prostate cancer treatment I began immediately running the relevant cancer frequencies I also began searching alternatives and studying the subject of cancer itself ,
eventually I discovered the treatment your also kind enough to suggest and set about obtaining some.
Although once trained as a deep mine first responder paramedic like most folks I have no direct access to prescription drugs however I did obtain some or at least the porcine version good enough ! I'm even growing trotter's I think ;D
(http://dnp.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/a/piggy%20flu.jpeg)
well again the same problem arises that occurred with AS, the cancer is gone (as far as any cancer can be considered 'gone') although I'm quite certain in my own mind Rife equipment knocked it out of the park – I can't ever know for certain if the Flubendazole we have obviously both researched didn't play an active part in my recovery.
The Rife equipment and programming has now reached a level of refinement where by it can accurately 'self diagnose' and indeed the effects of pretty much any prescription drug can be duplicated in frequency sets .
The fact that Rife equipment is working at a sub atomic level whilst usual medical exchange is at best molecular, makes badinage with usual medicos difficult .
Regardless Verpies thanks for the input even though that horse has bolted – (or the pig trotted perhaps ?) :D
Kind regards Duncan
Thank you Guys for your kind words. My marriage to Maureen was unusual in that she and my first wife were schoolfriends and that friendship remained through our previous marriages, so I was uncle to her children and she was auntie to my children. We both married our former partners within 2 weeks of each other in 1957 and kept in touch, helping each other, even holidaying together. I lost my first wife after 37 years of marriage and she lost her first husband after 40 years. Maureen and I had 25 good years together. Strangely, having been through this before, the trauma is not so bad so I will be back on form quite soon.

Can we consider money as energy ?
In that case,any computer which is mining bitcoin certainly is OU device. ;)
It produces thermal energy for us almost equal to the electricity consumed, and it also gives something else.

Regardless Verpies thanks for the input even though that horse has bolted – (or the pig trotted perhaps ?) :D
I'd like to note that flubendazole is not the same substance as fenbendazole, albeit they belong to the same class of compounds.
yes thanks Verpies I was aware I just had to swing on the best rope I could find, The cancers long gone now and good riddance. I do have another question for you if you can spare a little time . I would not have noticed it myself but for the fact its on a face I have wet shaved for the best part of sixty years . There is on my face what I always assumed to be a birth mark of perhaps an inverted 'mole' (if there is such a thing) however so insignificant I have always shaved right over the thing its normally pretty much invisible anyway.
Not so as this cancer situation developed - It became an irritating thing to shave around and also reacted aggressively with Rife applications. now its returned to negligible even if I ring the thing
(http://dnp.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/a/Shave.jpeg)
I'm intrigued to know verpies is there any track record you know of linking cancer to Moles ? I didn't find anything conclusive but the reaction was certainly there
Kind regards Duncan

Chief Kolbacict , Consider money energy ? I can't possibly get my head around around that ! If anything money is the root of all evil as the bible indicates all be it an evil we need as a convenience for trade, instead of barter.
There is also a huge difference i.m.h.o between wealth and money how a generation can consider Bit coin or any crypto ponzi bollix masquerading as money never mind wealth is a total mystery to me.
Chief the only wealth of any real worth Smudge has just described for you, It's in relationships
Money if anything is the absolute enemy of 'energy' and certainly the release of so called O.U systems.
There are many on this forum who know exactly how to put viable systems together but dare not. Indeed I'd be happy to posture what you see on the surface is for entertainment and amusement only.
The world is teetering on the very edge of a precipice right now indeed some of the 'free energy' folks predicted endless world war and destruction is imminent - watch the time line on this old video around the 9 min mark Chief -
https://www.bitchute.com/video/nrbHx1dqCvBv (https://www.bitchute.com/video/nrbHx1dqCvBv)
Its a long twisted subject wrapped up in the 'petro-dollar' but far from money being energy it doesn't even exist – Its an illusion built on debt and usury that's my opinion – for what its worth
Here another podcaster who transmits under the AKA of 'dollar vigilante ' who also considers money to be 'energy' and talks of 'fake money'being the American dollar well I'm sure you can work that one out for yourself
https://www.bitchute.com/video/YHO6hioQ0fOh (https://www.bitchute.com/video/YHO6hioQ0fOh)
consider what the reserve currency of the UK is along with many other countries who trusted their bullion reserves to America's custody and what that currency/money is worth now ? however please don't confuse the American public with the pomp ceremony and actions of the government and so of the country that's two very different things .

Yes, but the computer generates almost as much thermal energy as the kWh the computer took from the power grid. It is for those,who are heating house by electric power grid. And besides that, the computer gives us something else, another product. Any computer is over-unity.
Very sorry it's all very captivating but I've got the rest of my life to be getting on with. however I leave you with insignificant 'water'
"Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail,
which I reserve for times of trouble, for days of war and battle?"
not very crypto- currency I'm afraid still Bless and enjoy the cretinous crypto spunk bubble . I spent many hours writing and broadcasting here years ago about the stink and filth of the planned demic - I mathematically presented it too
, I tried desperately to keep you all you guys away from the 'clot shot' the effects of which are still very far from over.
Along with the rotten sewage that is the American system. It might be an American dream for them but its at the cost of a bloody nightmare for the rest of the world.
Money and crypto and any comparison with 'energy' is i.m.h.o irrelevant as more folks wake up
https://youtu.be/K1M1ZKBm0rc (https://youtu.be/K1M1ZKBm0rc)
as for the free energy clap trap don't worry about it -- Its been done and dusted many times its just not let out of the box because of the petro part of Dollar

Merry Christmas and a Happy Newyear.
and the bet bit Roast Turkey soon ;)
Hope you all had a sensational Christmas. 39c Boxing Day here.
Christmas -I Hope everyone enjoyed it ! My best wishes to everyone . 39 deg C wow that's 15 deg to much to the hot side for my liking . It was worked out by some clever clogs once that 86% of energy here in the UK domestic situation was consumed (wrong word -my apologies) utilised ? heating water one way or another.
working In Africa once upon a long time ago cabling and wiring control systems on an Angolan pipeline I found myself in very uncomfortable temperatures in a bungalow hut with a corrugated Iron roof -- and only one small A/C provided it was pretty insufferable.
corrugated iron seemed to be the companies temporary hut -go to building material , there was a mountain of the the stuff piled up in the stores with a -take what you want attitude.
We did ! In fact we took enough to cover the roof of our shared bungalow twice. To give you the picture we laid one set of roofing on the other and pop riveted the two sets together. those pop rivet's were individually soldered too -- perhaps you can see where this is going - two corrugated sheets became sets of 'pipes' either side of the roof alternate 'pipes' were linked together with 32mm copper pipe bent into a U and soldered into place. -- once the whole roof was pressure tested - and we certain sure had the equipment to do that ! (its what pipe lines are about) we set about circulating water with a small washing machine pump through a heat exchanger --- well painting with a broad brush - A roof that once you could fry eggs on - you couldn't anymore ergo -it was a very much more comfortable hutch to live in .
The AC was still used now and again - but as a luxury . It's not as simple as I write here , there were temperature comparators involved. The water in that roof boiled and there had to be pressure by-pass into the heat exchanger. still overall it did what was desperately wanted - cooled the building right down and provided all the hot water we ever required . simple and very effective not over unity exactly but dynamic use of what was available.
again merry Christmas guys - Duncan
Merry Christmas to all from sunny Spain, 18c but 6c at night.

Cheers Grum.
If Itsu can have have his dead dog then I can have my dead cat.
His name was Richard and he died of cardiac arrest several months ago when he was 18 months old (that's equivalent to 21 human years). The heart problem was most likely congenital which is common in the Maine Coon breed.
The change was prompted by another member changing his avatar to one that looked like my old one at the first glance.
If anyone wants to change his avatar, too, then for optimal results I recommend that it is a 140 x 140 pixel PNG file with transparent background.
I will help those here who have poor graphics skills to generate such file out of a larger high-resolution file.
P.S.

Kind regards Duncan
Biology and Static electricity in our world!
Seems worms can fly ...and many new discoveries about "charge" in biology!

Sabine says our world has changed!!
Are we seeing the end of theory ( theorists)?
Theoretical physicist's are now at a very big point in our history!
Seems we're already there?

Perhaps we will even see the end of most jobs. :-X

I enjoy Sabine's insights and musings - thanks, Chet!
A theory is what we can conclude and synthesize from experiments. Without theory, science would be like "free energy," an image of nothingness.
Today's abundance of data is not an obstacle to theories; on the contrary. We have the means to analyze it through massive processing. Not only is data overload not a problem, but neither is the difficulty of theories. AI is successfully tackling them and even convincing skeptical scientists: https://phys.org/news/2026-02-chatbot-author-ai-stalled-gluon.html
"Four physicists—Strominger, Lupsasca, Cambridge University's David Skinner, and the Institute for Advanced Study's Alfredo Guevara [...] worked with ChatGPT as a powerful fifth collaborator.
ChatGPT-5.2 pro broke the logjam, proposing an answer, and Super Chat proved it was correct after 12 hours of running."
"It's the first significant discovery in theoretical physics that is done by an AI," said Lupsasca, who is also a former junior fellow."
The scientific method involves theory; in fact, theory is its ultimate goal, since science is about knowledge and understanding, not a repertoire of senseless experiments. Intelligence is essentially the ability to see relationships between things. Science cannot exist without theories.

I would tend to agree but there are exceptions imo.
For example, in one of my best experiments with crazy results I had no theory. I was reading psychology about how we are basically programmed to think a certain way, repeat what others do and normalize it. It begged the question of how we could remove ourselves from this pattern of repetition. It reminded me of a quote by Viktor Schauberger where we should do the exact opposite of everyone else if we want to learn something new. Psychology agrees that we are habitual, repetitious and very predictable even if we think were not. This is why any form of true reasoning must include a good sense of self-awareness. This is what first principals and critical thinking are all about in my opinion. To understand we are absolutely biased even if we think were not.
My experiment was based on psychology and my reasoning was that we are habitual and repeat what others do. As such if we want a different result we cannot do what others do. In my experiment I sat down with a bunch of transformers and other electrical components with one goal. The goal was to configure them in ways opposite to what I normally do which is in fact very difficult. Right off the bat our mind pulls a blank, where to start?. I found our mind is lazy in this respect and we always look for the easy option. In other words, low voltage, transistor/mosfet switching, closed circuits, resistance limiting the current and mutual induction so I tried to avoid all of these things. In fact it didn't take long and on the tenth experiment or so the circuit did something it's not supposed to do producing a massive EM field which penetrates a Faraday cage.
It begs the question what kind of science we practice. Do we repeat what everyone else does knowing our result will always be the same as a form of confirmation bias?. Or do we set out to prove ourselves wrong and do the opposite of what we normally do and think?.

I came across this article this morning
https://www.zmescience.com/science/news-science/scientists-finally-solved-a-massive-mystery-about-static-electricity-using-acoustic-levitation/ (https://www.zmescience.com/science/news-science/scientists-finally-solved-a-massive-mystery-about-static-electricity-using-acoustic-levitation/)
The acoustic levitation was just a means for bringing particles together and apart without any mechanical or electrical connection to them. The experiment solved the mystery of why, when two identical particles crash into each other and come apart, there is an electric charge transfer from one to the other. This is quite well known when the particles are of different materials, it's known as the tribo-electric effect. But the enormous static potentials that build up in the Sahara dust storms causing lightning has up to now been a mystery. The work discovered that particles can obtain a thin (like one atom thick) surface of carbon from the atmosphere. It is this surface contamination that allows a tribo-electric effect to occurr. It taught me a new word "adventitious" which they say "is just a fancy word for 'random stuff from the environment'". I do wonder what other unknown adventitious things occur in our world.
