Apple trees

These are my 3 Apple tree seedlings. They are also my 3rd attempt at growing an apple tree. The first 2 both died from wind and sun exposure (a testament to the use of sunscreen I Guess) upon leaving the security of home. These 3 however have boosted my my odds of success proportionately. Later, when they have better differentiated themselves, I will choose new names for each…

    Straight to the Source

It is a defining characteristic of Western civilization that power-hungry men seek to declare ownership over all things they discover. For most of human history, such ownership efforts were focused on usable land. Owning land that could grow food, after all, was a valuable strategy for staying alive. As mechanized farming methods spread, power-hungry white men sought to own and control a labor force—and so human slavery was pursued…

Dear Mayor Morris B Vance,

I am writing to ask you, as the Mayor of my city, to declare Vista an official participant in next year’s Earth Hour event.

Hydrogen power in the news…in the 80’s!

This video, “1980’s Hydrogen in the News – Water HHO Torch Demonstration” is an example of the HHO water fueled torch seen in my previous post, Water as fuel. Has the process been perfected?

Water as fuel. Has the process been perfected?

This video show Denny Klein of Hydrogen Technology Applications, Inc. with a welding torch using water as the fuel source. He further claims to have a prototype car using the same technology.

Many commentators say that HHO gas is nothing new, but it is not viable as an alternative fuel for most applications, including vehicles. The concept isn’t new, the video isn’t new, but could it be made efficient enough to be new.

I wish I had the time and energy to explore this topic in more detail, this post, while not brief, will not be going into great detail. But I felt compelled to discuss the counter-arguments and implication of those arguments to some of the more radical concepts of sustainable renewable energy, sometimes referred to by the more idealistic as free energy.

Over unity devices: Doug Konzen’s Pulse Motor

One motor takes in .63 watts DC and lights up two one watt AC light bulbs. That’s all you need to know to see that this motor puts out more watts than what takes to run it: Under a watt DC to run it; two watts AC output. Last year, Doug demonstrated a new type of electric motor/alternator designed 10 times more efficient than a conventional electric motor from the alone…

I have always wondered, if Nikola Tesla had actually discovered global unlimited power, even with suppression by government, power companies, and other inventors, why in the past 100 years someone else hasn’t revived or rediscovered that knowledge and brought it to market. This post is not about why it would be suppressed in the first place, but why, given the supposed validity of such energy solutions we don’t see these power technologies in use somewhere today.

The Union-Tribune sure thinks Mayor Jerry Sanders has the Midas touch. On the city’s financial quandary, Sanders is “changing [the] pension footprint.” Sanders mentions water conservation a few times and—voila!—San Diegans obey, the U-T tells us, despite water officials’ suggestions that rainy weather probably played a bigger role in recent reduced water use…

Lutec Australia PTY LTD has created a proof of concept over unity motor, that in this video runs at a claimed 362% over unity.

Ethanol is the same type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages, and has also been touted as the solution to reduce our dependence on foreign oil AND has promised to be a biofuel gasoline replacement. According to the claims, ethanol would help ease petroleum use and help abate greenhouse gases that may lead to global warming. For a while it seemed everybody was in agreement. The environmentalists see a bright yellow future and politicians see a wise political move.

But is any of it true?

When I think of Philips I think of electronics and appliances. But I don’t think about a building sustainable city design. Yet that is exactly what they are thinking and working towards.

Philips has launched a series of what they call “Design Probes.” These design probes are intended to, “track trends and developments that may ultimately evolve into mainstream issues that have a significant impact on business,” as part of a “far-future” research initiative.
