Speaking to the BBC, she said that when unemployment soared after the fall of the Berlin Wall, "many young people ... only had jobs because they moved to the south." Mrs Merkel said: "I think it's unfair that it is the young people especially who have to pay the bill for something they didn't do.

"But there's no way around it. We have to manufacture products or offer services in Europe that we can sell."

"What do we want to produce? What do we want to manufacture? How can we cut red tape? How can we intensify trade?"

Asked about her reaction to anti-German demonstrations abroad, Mrs Merkel said: "We have demonstrations not just abroad but also in Germany. As a government, as politicians, we have to accept that. I want these countries to recover quickly."

"You know as well as me that the European countries all agreed to the growth and stability pact. Nevertheless, we gave many countries the possibility to have a deficit above 3 per cent. France, for instance, but also Spain and Portugal."

(New Products? New Technology? New Ideas for manufacturing, work and SALES? Hmmm...now what could do something that MIRACULOUS?

Slamming the fact that congress has a 10 percent approval rating, yet somehow reelects 90 percent of its members, he pointed out the hypocrisy that people get fired from their jobs frequently for incompetence -- except in the case of the House of Representatives.

"There are only three ways a congressman goes out," Maher said. "They die in office, they cash in as a lobbyist, or they mistakenly post a picture of their d**k."

The Pentagon will attempt to collect several hundred samples for the repository. They will seek permission from the families of deceased service members to collect specimens.

"We have been at war for more than a decade and our men and women have sacrificed," said Dr. Jonathan Woodson, assistant secretary of defense. "The military health care system is bringing all the resources it can to better understand how to prevent, diagnose and treat traumatic brain injuries and to ensure that service members have productive and long, quality lives."

The goal is to address how head trauma leads to Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).

CTE is a neurodegenerative disorder that involves the progressive accumulation of a protein in nerve cells within certain regions of the brain. As the protein accumulates, it disturbs function and appears to lead to symptoms seen in affected patients such as boxers and football players with multiple head trauma.

At least until someone can show me how and why it fails. So far it's only given right answers. You get the Compton wave of the electron, the radii and intensities of spectral emissions, and it explains why everything looked so confusing through the only lenses which 1930s science permitted.

The mathematical achievements of the past century are astounding in retrospect to such a simplified theory of quantum mechanics. Yet the math gives us real answers, and tells us these abstract hyperdimensional modelings was just the speed of light refracting into the electron shell which behaves like a Bose Condensate.

The first Bose Condensate wasn't created until 2003, the great scientists never performed experiments with large diameter rotating superconductors, so how could they possibly have known or seen this???

Frank Znidarsic: "I was part of the NASA team and am in your pictures to prove it. We attempted the experiment twice. In both attempts, we made several large SC disks, but never developed the rotation apparatus to test them."

This work was using an industrial gravity measuring device on non-rotating, non-two layer small SC samples. Generally this report was wrong as this device was designed to measure long term (10 of minutes to hrs) gravitational effects.

Therefore, any conclusion about the SC gravity effects should not have been published at all using the technique reported. Also, as non-rotating, non-two layer SC samples were used, this report has no bearing on the Podkletnov experiments.

Fabrication of large bulk ceramic superconductor disks for gravity modification experiments and performance of YBCO disks under EM field excitation...

- In the couple of weeks since he introduced the idea that superconducting sheets can reflect gravity waves, Raymond Chiao from the University of California, Merced, has been busy with a couple of buddies working out how big this effect is. Let’s review the idea.

Chiao’s claim is that gravity has a fundamentally different affect on localised particles compared to delocalised ones and that a type 1 superconductor contains both: ordinary ions and electrons that make up the ionic lattice of the superconductor and the superconducting Cooper pairs of electrons which are entirely delocalised.

Chiao and co describe it like this: “The enormous back-action of the Coulomb force on the motion of the Cooper pairs, greatly enhances the mass supercurrents generated by the wave, so that they become strong enough to produce reflection.”

I see so many false claims about Lee Crock's aura and energy cleaners, I thought it was time to explain what was the REAL CAUSE of why he went from 3vdc to 4.5vdc - The True History.

And why, back at my conference in 2001, Lee gave me his permission to sell my own version (the Mexistim) which is designed around the 2nd version which was used with good results on over 10,000 people according to Lee.

Murphy's law says 'Don't fix what ain't broke!'...so if that 3vdc at approximately 15 minute time interval did so much good for so many, who am I to mess with it?

As noted in the 'history' article above, you can get varying results with all kinds of mixtures of voltages and times, so sure 4.5vdc should also help the body, but not I think with the EFFECTIVENESS of the proven 3vdc screen versions, because the 4.5vdc screen version was NEVER TESTED massively as with the 3vdc version.

The USE of 4.5vdc was SOLELY so they could make the boxes totally battery powered (the timer chip WILL NOT RUN on less than 4.5vdc) and make them easy and very cheap to stamp out in the thousands in a mass marketing effort.

The 4.5vdc on those later units powered both the timer circuit (which WILL NOT RUN on 3vdc) AND THE SCREENS!

The energy comes FROM THE SCREENS so my Mexistim design keeps it the same as the 2nd version which had such great results...3vdc to the screen and 4.5vdc to power the TIMER. All a matter of wiring and knowing electronics.

It's a major point as to effectiveness based on massive testing that was NEVER DONE with the 4.5vdc to the screen version.

A clear 'bait and switch' driven only by marketing hype to sell in VOLUME based on the REQUIREMENT OF 4.5vdc to power the timer and I suspect a "want-to-believe because they read it somewhere syndrome" by so many users.

Sure, you can get effects at almost any voltage and timing interval, but even though these devices are in NO WAY AC, the similar concept of the Q (quality factor where the optimal combination of components produces the strongest response) of tuned circuits applies.

Where the BEST RESPONSE is with the original 3vdc at about 15 minute intervals as discovered by the many tests Lee originally did to discover the best voltage (3vdc), the best switching time (~15 minutes) and the correct number of batteries (10 D cells) to discover what combination produced the best results.

Note: In the diagram, the 10,000 people test was on the 3vdc Aura Cleaner, NOT the Mexistim. My point is the 3vdc Mexistim uses the same voltage and timing interval as the 2nd 3vdc version of the Aura Cleaner which had such amazing results.

Earth Energy is a natural energy that originates from a new source of energy that can instantly get to do work, using the electromagnetic force for attraction and repulsion of particles of opposite poles infinitely together.

Access to this new energy source can occur through the ground grid to transfer passing through the attraction and repulsion subatomic particles of positively and negatively charged electrons to the captors.

Universal energy is energy generated from natural electromagnetic forces of the universe that give rise to the magnetic field. This energy can be obtained instantly to perform work by electromagnetism which allows closing the electromagnetic circuit generating the cycle of self-generation.

Access to this new source of energy is obtained by the captors, who spend capture electrons by electromagnetic induction, promoting an attraction and repulsion of electrically charged particles that pass to move the circuit generating electrical current.

"ELECTRICITY GENERATION" - CAPTOR ELECTRON EARTH

Equipment that captures Earth Energy - This is an electromagnetic device that depending on how the connection to be connected to the grounding grid becomes free to move and capture particles energy to perform work instantly via electromagnetism.

The sensor requires only a small initial force energy continually being supplied by an external power source, which can be provided by the local power utility. With this small amount of electricity consumed the sensor generates a large electromotive power. Depending on your constructive manner, the sensor can generate a power thousands of times the energy that was consumed to perform the work performed and generated by the sensor, this energy that returns to the generating source (Earth).

Examples prototypes obtained by;

1) - consuming only 21 W 220 V, the sensor generates a 12.1 kW power for powering a load of 6000 W 220V

2) - Consuming only 2000 W 220 V the sensor generates a power of 282 700 W 220V
Weight: 40 kg
Measurements: 60x40x20 cm

The captors of electrons can generate power anywhere in the circuit according to the needs of the project is low, medium or high voltage, this event enables the integration of power generation between consumers, Dealers and generating plants.

Electricity can also be generated in the middle and / or end of the network, in which the consumer is the end, the means are the electric utilities, but always depended on the initial strength of the generating plants.

This new technological possibility of generating electricity enables the generation interconnected chain, because it is possible to generate power with energy on a scale of 1X300 (W / KW / MW / GW x W / KW / MW / GW) consuming only one (1 ) generates the sensor output three hundred (300) times greater.

The transducer generates electricity through the movement of electrical particles in constant motion independent of whether or not doing work when the current drawn is used to perform electrical work is generated that returns the active phase corresponding to the same greatness and power consumption loads instantly. In the process of abstraction there is no transformation of mass or chemical process, only energy generating energy in a natural and simple.

Social environmental and economic results:

Environment - Using the science of capturing electrons through electromagnetism no harm to the environment because there is no mass transformation process, chemical or devices that Avenham to cause environmental impact.

Power consumption - This new technology enables to generate 98.5% of electricity consumption by generating electrons produced by Catchers. Consumers need only 1.5% of uninterrupted electricity to be provided by the concessionaire to keep the sensor in operation and capturing the energy of the earth to the consumer.

A capacitor, inductor, and power line are arranged in a series parallel combination tank circuit that operates over four quarters of a complete cycle. During the first quarter cycle: power is applied to the tank circuit, current flows through the inductor to the capacitor, current is stored in the inductor, and the capacitor is charged. During the second quarter cycle; current is released from the inductor as the capacitor discharges current to another parallel inductor or resistive load. During a third quarter cycle: current flows in the capacitor from the opposite direction, the capacitor is charged, current pushes out from the capacitor to the incoming power line, and current is stored in the inductor. During the fourth quarter cycle: the capacitor discharges in the opposite direction, current parallel to another inductor or resistive load flows in the opposite direction, and the inductor releases current to incoming power line.

An apparatus for efficient conversion of electrical energy from an electric power source to mechanical power, the apparatus comprising: an electromechanical device that is arranged to provide the mechanical power in response to the electrical energy from the electric power source; an inductor circuit that has a first associated reactance, wherein the inductor circuit is comprised of at least one winding in the electromechanical device; a capacitor circuit that has a second associated reactance,

wherein the inductor circuit and the capacitor circuit are arranged to operate as a tank circuit that has a resonance that occurs at a particular frequency when the first reactance is matched to the second reactance such that electrical energy oscillates between a magnetic field of the inductor and an electric field associated with the capacitor, wherein the apparatus is arranged such that power conservation is improved by more than 100%.

[0070] Electric power consumption for the electromagnetic power source is reduced yielding increased power conservation on the order of 150% to 200% more energy conservation than those conventionally available. One example system includes a capacitor, an inductor, and a power line that are arranged in a series parallel combination tank circuit that operates over four quarters of a complete cycle. During the first quarter cycle: power is applied to the tank circuit, current flows through the inductor to the capacitor, current is stored in the inductor, and the capacitor is charged. During the second quarter cycle...

[0073] Unlike the conventional series or parallel separate circuits, the present disclosure uses a series parallel combination tank circuit that is designed to utilize resonance theory, where the exchange of energy between the capacitor and inductor results in increased power output. The inductor stores and releases current in a forward and backward direction. The capacitor charges and discharges current from one inductor to another inductor or resistive load two times: one in the forward direction and one in the backward direction. Current flows in and out of a coil of the inductor such that an electromagnetic force of power is created that can be used for various applications.

Since Apparent Power (VA)=Current (A).times.Voltage (V), the calculations below illustrate energy conservation for a 60 W light bulb. The voltage applied at the power input is 115 V. The apparent power for the Power Input Line (Line PIN) is measured at 126.5 VA. The apparent power measured for the shed motor fan is 126.5 VA and the apparent power measured for the light bulb is 65 VA. Therefore, 126 VA is measured at the input and a total of 191.5 VA is measured at the output, indicating an approximately 1.5 gain. Calculations are also shown for the energy savings for a 75W Bulb.

See Colorado Springs - "People walking along the street observed sparks jumping between their feet and the ground. Electricity sprang from taps when turned on. Light bulbs within 100 feet of the lab glowed even when turned off. Horses in a livery stable bolted from their stalls after receiving shocks through their metal shoes. Butterflies were electrified, swirling in circles with blue halos of St. Elmo's fire around their wings.[108]" - CASE CLOSED, now stop instigating this mindless repetition of errors! - JWD)

As Tesla experimented with a 1.5 megawatt system in 1899 at Colorado Springs, he was amazed to find that pulses of electricity he sent out passed across the entire globe and returned with “undiminished strength”. He said; “It was a result so unbelievable that the revelation at first almost stunned me.” [Compared with this ‘undiminished strength”, more than two-thirds of current-day electrical power disappears and is totally wasted, due to transmission losses and other factors between current-day power stations and the electricity consumer – Ed]

This verified the tremendous efficiency of his peculiar method of pumping current into a spherical ball to charge it up, before discharging it as a pulse of electrical energy: a ‘longitudinal’ acoustic type of compression wave, rather than an electromagnetic Hertzian type of transverse wave. It was therefore more akin to electrostatic discharge than wave mechanics.

Tesla also planned to include a stationary resonant wave creation globally, within the Earth-ionosphere cavity, as part of the wireless transmission of power. Examining the pair of 1900 patents, #645,576 and #649,621 (each using the same figure on the first page), we find in the first patent that Tesla designed a quarter-wave antenna (fifty miles of secondary wire for a 200-mile long wavelength). More important is the sphere on the top which is supposed to be a conductive surface on a balloon, raised high enough to be radiating in “rarified air”.

As Tesla stated: “That communication without wires to any point on the globe is practical with such apparatus would need no demonstration, but through a discovery which I made I obtained absolute certitude. Popularly explained, it is exactly this: When we raise the voce and hear an echo in reply, we know that the sound of the voice must have reached a distant wall, or boundary, and must have been reflected from the same. Exactly as the sound, so an electrical wave is reflected, and the same evidence which is afforded by an echo is offered by an electrical phenomenon known as a ‘stationary’ wave – that is, a wave with fixed nodal and ventral regions. Instead of sending sound vibrations toward a distant wall, I have sent electrical vibrations toward the remote boundaries of the Earth, and instead of the wall the Earth has replied. In place of an echo I have obtained a stationary electrical wave, a wave reflected from afar.” [Reflected from the antipodean point on the far side of the globe – Ed]

Nikola Tesla’s discovery of pulsed propagation of energy does not resemble the standard transverse electromagnetic waves so familiar to electrical engineers everywhere. Many engineers and physicists have dismissed Tesla’s wireless energy transmission as unscientific, without examining the unusual characteristics and benefits of longitudinal waves – which are the z-component solutions of Maxwell’s equations.

In a recent paper, he demonstrated a potential way to squeeze 100 times more bandwidth out of existing frequencies.

The idea is to twist radio waves like corkscrews and create multiple subfrequencies, distinguished by their degree of twistedness. Each subchannel carries discrete data sets.

“You can tune the wave with a given frequency as you normally do, but there is also a fingerprint left by the twist,” Tamburini says. He and Swedish colleague Bo Thidé hit upon the approach while studying waves warped by the immense gravity of black holes.

This past June, the scientists set up a custom dish in Venice and successfully broadcast video encoded in both twisted and normal radio waves across St. Mark’s Basin. (Note this type of wave-twisting is fundamentally different from the better-known circular polarization of light.)

Indeed, there has been fear that too little gravity might have injurious effects on our bodies, unaccustomed to such a weightless condition; and that it would be as necessary to supply artificial gravity in a space ship as it would be to supply artificial air. However, no one seems to doubt that on the moon, or on Mars, freedom from the weariness of earthly weight would be pleasant. No fears of weightlessness are expressed in a recent proposal to the medical profession of a treatment to remedy the ravages of advancing years, by the whirling-disc system which our artist has illustrated:

“It would seem,” says the Medical Times, “as though we have not taken sufficient-if any-account in our study of mechanical factors having influence upon senile (old-age) phenomena, of the force of gravity. The weight of the blood thrown by the heart into the first reaches of the vascular (blood-vessel) tubulature must be taken into account, along with friction and the ramification of the vascular tree, in the estimation of wear and tear. So, too, there is the pull-back or weight of the blood, in the vessels of the extremities, which course away from the center of the earth which draws all things to it.

“Do not the aging carry around an ‘increasing’ weight? Is not the resistance to gravity of their moving bodies discernible in every step taken? Think of the internal pullings on our weakening machinery as we age. The supporting beams grow weaker; the weight of what they have to support gets ‘greater’; the arches of the feet do not ‘fall,’ they are pulled to the ground; the jaw sags; the mouth droops; the old man bows and bends; he is pulled toward the earth; his very eyelids, like window shades toward evening, are drawn down, and at long last he is literally pulled into his grave.

“Old age, then, is in part a gradual succumbing to the force of gravity. Should we not take this great fact into mathematical account in our study of the mechanics of the circulation, of body strains, and of cardiovascular disease?

“What shall the prophylaxis (prevention) and therapy (treatment) be? How can the effects of this force be mitigated? Lying down relieves the daytime direction of fatiguing pull in the case of the well or slightly ill; but something more than this is needed by the badly-damaged.

We suggest periods of centrifugalization. An individual in special need of treatment might rest at night upon a large revolving disc with his head toward the outer rim; the disc should be so beveled as to carry the head at a lower level than the feet; optimum (best) speed to be determined by laboratory experimentation. Such a disc might be large enough to carry ten or twenty patients. This mechanism would facilitate the functions which during the day are inhibited by gravity. Incidentally, certain cardiac (heart) and vascular disabilities might be especially helped. The decompensated heart, with edematous (swollen) and varicose extremities, might respond well.”

Approximately 80 percent of all the matter in the universe is made up of dark matter. Dark matter is material that physicists cannot directly observe. Why is this? Because dark matter does not emit light or energy. Scherrer and Ho suggest that dark matter may be constructed of a type of basic particle known as the Majorana fermion. Though the particle’s existence was predicted in the 1930?s, it has doggedly resisted detection.

While this theory has been previously put forth, Scherrer and Ho have shown that these particles are uniquely adapted to have an anapole. This field gives the Majorana particles properties that vary from those of particles that have the more common fields possessing two poles and illustrates why they are so hard to detect.

According to Scherrer, a lot of models for dark matter expect that it interacts through exotic forces that we do not come across on a daily basis. However, anapole dark matter utilizes ordinary electromagnetism like the force that makes magnets stick to your refrigerator.

Scherrer and Ho also point out that the model makes predictions about the rate at which anapole dark matter should reveal itself in the dark matter detectors that are hidden underground. According to these predictions, the existence of anapole dark matter will soon be proven or ruled out by these experiments.

However, several physicists have studied dark matter particles that don’t contain electrical charges, but possess electric or magnetic dipoles. Unfortunately, even these more complex models are ruled out for Majorana particles, which is why Ho and Scherrer performed an in-depth analysis of dark matter with an anapole magnetic moment.

According to Ho, “fundamental symmetries of nature” prevent Majorana fermions from obtaining any electromagnetic properties except the anapole.

The physicists contend that particles with anapole fields must be moving before they interact and the quicker they move the better the interaction. Therefore, anapole particles were probably a lot more interactive during the early days of the universe and would likely have become less and less interactive over time.

In the study, researchers examined participants' brain activity while they performed a task designed to require attention. Specifically, the researchers looked at how fast the brain responded to a change in letters appearing on a computer screen.

Before the task, participants consumed 8 ounces of either water, water with caffeine, or water containing the energy drink 5-Hour Energy. The caffeinated drinks were adjusted so that they had the same amount of caffeine per pound of participants' body weight, and all drinks were colored blue.

During the task, participants who drank the caffeinated drinks had faster brain responses, compared with those who drank plain water. But there was no difference in brain activity between those who consumed caffeinated water, and those who consumed 5-Hour Energy.

"A lot of people take the energy drinks because they think they have that extra boost over caffeine," said study researcher Chelsea Benham, a student at Centre College in Danville, Ky. But the study shows "there's really no difference," Benham said.

In terms of boosting attention, a cup of coffee "would do you just as well," if it had the same amount of caffeine as an energy drink, she said.

A 2-ounce bottle of 5-Hour Energy contains about 215 milligrams of caffeine, the equivalent of about two cups of coffee.

An advantage of 5-Hour Energy is that it contains a concentrated amount of caffeine — people need to consume a larger volume of coffee to get the same amount of caffeine.

Cops don’t know how they’re doing it, and of course the Today show (and the Hackaday comments) were full of speculation.

The top three theories for how these thieves are unlocking car doors are jamming a keyless entry’s ‘lock signal’, a radio transmitter to send an ‘unlock’ code, or a small EMP device touched to the passenger side door to make it unlock.

That last theory – using a small EMP device to unlock a car’s door – got the attention of someone who builds mini EMP devices and has used them to get credits on slot machines. He emailed us under a condition of anonymity, but he says it’s highly unlikely a mini EMP device would be able to activate the solenoid on a car door.

The FAA says there are approximately 167,000 aircraft in the United States and a total of 230,000 worldwide that rely on the current 100 octane, low lead fuel for safe operation.

It is the only remaining transportation fuel in the United States that contains the addition of tetraethyl lead, a toxic substance, to create the very high octane levels needed for high-performance aircraft engines. Operations with inadequate octane can result in engine failures, the FAA noted."

But since it was first spotted in Houston in 2002, it has spread to some 21 counties in Texas, 20 counties in Florida and a few locations in Mississippi and Louisiana.

The insects, bizarrely, are attracted to electrical wiring and components and in one year alone caused $146.5 million in damages in Texas, ABC reported.

The devastation occurs when one ant discovers the transformer then gets electrocuted when it touches it, and 'waves its abdomen in the air' omitting a certain scent.

The scent lures for ants to the scene and they too are electrocuted, again sending the scent into the air to attract their friends.

Eventually, there are so many dead ants that the electric switches get stuck or the insulation fries and the system shuts down. The crazy ants are most commonly found in coastal areas with warmer temperatures. Known scientifically as 'Nylanderia fulva,' they are also referred to as 'rasberry' after the exterminator Tom Rasberry who discovered them in Houston in 2002.

The 'crazy' ants do not have such a painful sting as their insect counterparts, but they are still a nuisance for homeowners. 'Crazy' ants have been identified all the way from Texas to Mississippi. Researchers believe that the ants cannot survive in regions that are dry or cold.

“He walked up and he said ‘I can tell you’re driving DUI by looking in your eyes,’” Thornton told KNXV. Thornton was then given a sobriety test.

“I take my glasses off and he says, ‘You’ve got bloodshot eyes.’ I said, ‘I’ve been swimming at LA Fitness,’ and he says, ‘I think you’re DUI,’” said Thornton. “He goes, ‘Well we’re going to do a sobriety test.’ I said, ‘OK, but I got bad knees and a bad hip with surgery in two days.’”

I've used my Mexistim for 10 years now. I sleep on a 3 X 4 foot wirescreen hooked up to my Mexistim sitting on my nightstand and always powered on. It uses very little electricity. It helps me get a deep, healing sleep and I think of it as 'health maintenance' because all of the above listed effects I have noticed from using this device.

The origins of the error are in a premise stated by Gottfried Leibniz in 1686. Scientists were studying motion using pendulums, because they could determine velocity from height of the swing. Christian Huygens noticed that when hard and elastic objects collided, both mass times velocity and mass times velocity squared were conserved.

Conserved means the totals stay the same, even while the component quantities are rearranged. Mass times velocity squared was ignored as a strange artifact. So Rene Descartes published a paper around 1635 stating that there is a fixed amount of motion in the universe, because it is always conserved during interactions. By motion he meant mass times velocity nonsquared. Leibniz then published a paper in 1686 stating that Descartes was wrong, it is not mass times velocity which is the conserved quantity of motion but mass times velocity squared.

The basis of the Leibniz argument was that force times distance is conserved, and it is equal to mass times velocity squared, not mass time velocity nonsquared. He said that if a four kilogram object is dropped one meter, it will do the same thing as one kilogram object dropped four meters. He then showed the direct proportionality between force times distance and mass times velocity squared.

Leibniz's error was in his starting point. There was no evidence for his claim that rearranging force and distance would produce the same total. Pendulums could not show the relationship between force and distance. He should have instead combined force and time stating that a four kilogram object dropped one second would produce the same result as a one kilogram object dropped four seconds. This result would be proportional to mass times velocity nonsquared, not mass times velocity squared, and it would have shown Descartes to be correct.

Scientists argued the subject for two hundred years, until it was supposedly settled by James Joule in 1845. Joule claimed he stirred water in a wooden bucket to show the transformation of force and distance into heat. Joule did not have the slightest ability to make such a measurement. He was copying physicists who were trying to make the measurement but failing. Weights on cords were dropped to turn paddles which stirred the water. The force times distance could be determined from the weight and height.

One of the problems was that the weights would go faster and faster, which altered the force due to acceleration. Joule said he solved that problem by using more floats on top. Floats would have been worthless. If they were the answer, other experimenters could have determined so as easily as Joule could.

Joule never published a complete description of his experiment. Instead he sent a note to a publisher describing a few elements of it saying he would publish more later, which he never did. What he described was a total fraud. He said he dropped the weights 12 yards (meters) 16 times. It would have taken two athletes about an hour to wind them back up. He said he got 0.5°F (0.3°C) temperature increase. The heat would have dissipated into the metal and wood in about 30 seconds. There were no thermal conductivity coefficients. So he said he eliminated the effects of the "atmosphere" by dropping the weights an extra time. There is no method of eliminating environmental effects. He was totally lying.

Yet Joule was only off by 3 parts per thousand from the number being used now days. Joule's number was 4.2 Newton-meters per calorie, while the most recent number is 4.1868 N-m/calorie. Supposedly, it means Joule was a wizard. But the definition of kinetic energy can be mathematically proven to be incorrect, which means the modern number cannot be correct. It has to be a synthesis. In fact, there is no imaginable way to measure the number at more than two significant digits. There is no accessible evidence of how the number is measured.

The mathematical proof is to show that one of the Leibniz objects has twice as much energy as the other. This can be done by mathematically replacing gravity with a rocket.

The amount of fuel that a rocket requires to accelerate the objects to the same velocity can easily be calculated with no error. The burn-time for the rocket can represent the amount of fuel use, when the rocket is constant powered. When doing this, the burn-time for the 4kg object is exactly twice that of the 1 kg object.

The battery can maintain a capacity of 1200 milliampere-hours per gram after 300 charge-discharge cycles. More work needs to be done, but one would think this new technology could have applications in renewable energy storage, electric cars, and consumer electronics."

The ORNL team overcame these barriers by first synthesizing a never-before-seen class of sulfur-rich materials that conduct ions as well as the lithium metal oxides conventionally used in the battery's cathode. Liang's team then combined the new sulfur-rich cathode and a lithium anode with a solid electrolyte material, also developed at ORNL, to create an energy-dense, all-solid battery.

"This game-changing shift from liquid to solid electrolytes eliminates the problem of sulfur dissolution and enables us to deliver on the promise of lithium-sulfur batteries," Liang said. "Our battery design has real potential to reduce cost, increase energy density and improve safety compared with existing lithium-ion technologies."

The new ionically-conductive cathode enabled the ORNL battery to maintain a capacity of 1200 milliamp-hours (mAh) per gram after 300 charge-discharge cycles at 60 degrees Celsius. For comparison, a traditional lithium-ion battery cathode has an average capacity between 140-170 mAh/g. Because lithium-sulfur batteries deliver about half the voltage of lithium-ion versions, this eight-fold increase in capacity demonstrated in the ORNL battery cathode translates into four times the gravimetric energy density of lithium-ion technologies, explained Liang.

The team's all-solid design also increases battery safety by eliminating flammable liquid electrolytes that can react with lithium metal. Chief among the ORNL battery's other advantages is its use of elemental sulfur, a plentiful industrial byproduct of petroleum processing.

"Sulfur is practically free," Liang said. "Not only does sulfur store much more energy than the transition metal compounds used in lithium-ion battery cathodes, but a lithium-sulfur device could help recycle a waste product into a useful technology."

'There are no atheists in foxholes,' the saying goes. But a new study suggests that people in stressful situations don't always turn to a higher power. Sometimes, they turn to science.

Both athletes preparing for a big race and students asked to write about their own death showed a 15% stronger belief in science than those under less stressful situations (abstract).

'In stressful situations people are likely to turn to whatever worldviews and beliefs are most meaningful to them,' says study co-author, Anna-Kaisa Newheiser, a psychologist at Yale University. And many people find the scientific worldview more compatible with their own."

Belief in science and belief in religion have quite different bases, according to the researchers. Science is defined by analytical thinking, rational inquiry, and an objective weighing of evidence. Religious faith, on the other hand, is founded on intuition, inner experience, and a valuing of historical revelation. Nevertheless, both kinds of belief help people to make sense of the world—and also to feel more comfortable in it, the authors say.

"Future research should focus on the way in which belief in science can actually help people relieve the negative state commonly associated with threat."

The above page is loaded with references to Bergamini and his experiments with autophagy, using the drug Acipimox. Getting damaged proteins out of cells could be profoundly important. If you can't tell the difference between a young cell and an old one, then how would anything age? ( that's the point of autophagy).

Regarding the nicotine/tobacco plant connection, your URL noted Acipimox was nicotine based;

"An orally active xenobiotic nicotinic acid analogue that suppresses lipolysis and the release of free fatty acids (FFAs) into the bloodstream, thereby increasing autophagic protein recycling in addition to lowering triglyceride and VLDL (very low density lipoprotein)."

...that triggered something I had posted on another of my sites where tobacco leaves as a simple poultice and in other forms were used to heal a lot of things.

Here is an excerpt;

So I was browsing for goodies and found this REALLY OLD article about the origins of tobacco smoking but it is written in very old english...so I am going to snip out the useful parts and translate to modern english.

"Noli me tangere" as used in the document is Latin and means 'don't touch me' or 'Touch me not' due to sores, cancers, etc. which might be contagious;

"Master John Nicot, Counselor to the King, being Ambassador for the King in Portugal, in the years of our lord 1559, 60 and 61, went one day to see the person of the King of Portugal, and a gentleman being the keeper of the said prisons presented him this herb, as a strange plant brought from Florida;

the same Master Nicot, having caused the said herb to be set in his garden, where it grew and multiplied marvelously, was upon a time advertised, by one of his pages, that a young man, a kin to that page,

made a poultice of that herb bruised, both the herb and the juice together upon an ulcer which he had upon his cheek near unto his nose, coming of a Noli me tangere which had taken root already at the gristles of the nose, wherewith he found himself marvellously eased.

Therefore the said Master Nicot caused the sick young man to be brought before him, causing the said herb to be continued to be applied to the sore for eight or ten days, this aforesaid Noli me tangere, was utterly extinguished and healed; and he had sent it, while this cure was working, to a certain physician of the King of Portugal of the most fame, for to see the further working and effect of the said Nicotine, and sending for the same young man at the end of ten days, that the said Noli me tangere was utterly extinguished, as in deed he never felt it since.

Within a while after, one of the cooks of the said Ambassador having almost cut off his thumb, with a great chopping knife, the steward of the house of the said gentleman, used the said Nicotine plant, and dressed him (the cook) with the poultice five or six times, and so in the end thereof he was healed; from that time forward this herb began to be famous throughout all Lisbon, where the court of the King of Portugal was at that present, and the virtue of this said Ambassador's herb!

Wherefore there came certain days after, a gentleman of the country, father to one of the pages of the Ambassador, who was troubled with an ulcer in his leg, having had the same for two years, and demanded of the said Ambassador for his herb, and using the same in such order as is before written, at the end of ten or twelve days he was healed.

From that time forth the fame of that herb increased in such sort, that many came from all places to have that same herb. Among all others there was a woman that had her face covered with a ringworm rooted, as though she had a 'visour/visor' on her face, to whom the said L Ambassador caused the herb to be given her, and told how she should use it, and at the end of eight or ten days, this woman was thoroughly healed, she came and showed herself to the Ambassador, showing him of her healing.

After there came a captain to present his son, sick of the Kings 'euill' (Kings Evil = scrofula) to the said Ambassador, for to send him to France, unto whom there was made a poultice of the Nicotine, which in a few days did begin to show great signs of healing, and finally was altogether healed of the kings 'euill' (evil). (Scrofula - A disease with glandular swellings, probably a form of tuberculosis.)

The Ambassador seeing so great effects proceeding of this herb, and having heard say that the Lady Montigny that was died at Saint Germans, of an ulcer bread in her breast, that did turn to a Noli me tangere, for which there could never a remedy be found, and likewise that the Countess of Ruffe, had sought for all the famous physicians of the realm, for to heal her face, unto whom they could give no remedy, he thought it good to communicate the same into France, and did send it to King Frances the 2nd; and to the Queen Mother, and to many other Lords of the Courts with the manner of using the same; and how to apply it unto the said diseases, even as he had found it by experience; and chiefly to the Lord of Jarnac, governor of Rogell, with whom the said Lord Ambassador had great amity for the service of the King.

The which Lord of Jarnac, told one day at the Queens table, that he had caused the said Nicotine to be distilled, and caused the water to be drunk, mingled with water Euphrasie, otherwise called 'Eyebright' (A small plant (genus Euphrasia) of the figwort family with little snapdragonlike flowers, formerly used as a remedy for eye problems. ), to one that was short breathed, and was therewith healed." - Joyfull News out of the newe found worlde, 1577 - Black Letter

So tobacco leaves as a poultice applied to wounds or sores OR distilled in water to be drunk.

Wonder if just opening up a cigarette and using the chopped tobacco inside would have similar healing effects? I suspect there are chemical additives to cigarette tobacco so I think cigar tobacco would be better.

I have long read that its not the CIGARETTE or TOBACCO that cause cancer but the paper that contains it as the tube....if you burn the cigarette paper on a plate you'll see this greasy residue but you don't get that with pure tobacco...imagine all that greasy tar covering your lungs and windpipes!!!

Supposedly that is why cigar smokers have little on no cancer if they smoke cigars WRAPPED in a tobacco leaf....its only when they use paper that it becomes toxic OTHERWISE it would be pure tobacco and nicotine.

Almost like they intentionally ENGINEERED cigarettes and paper wrapped cigars to CAUSE CANCER.

With regard to Cellular Senescence and cells dying after about 50 cell divisions yet REMAINING in the body; Differences in maximum life span among species correspond to different "rates of aging". For example, inherited differences in the rate of aging make a mouse elderly at 3 years and a human elderly at 80 years.[8] These genetic differences affect a variety of physiological processes, including the efficiency of DNA repair, antioxidant enzymes, and rates of free radical production.

I think this is PRECISELY the effect referred to in the legend of the Elixir of Life, the Aqua Vitae/Vida (water of life) which is supposed to help the body expel any dead or dying tissue.

The most recent thing I've found is a Russian scientist who claims radioactive potassium is the cure for age reversal...he's half right I think by minimizing the intake through radioactive bananas and other foods which naturally carry this material...but MY QUEST for the Aqua Vitae beats it out because it would cause the expulsion of all alien material and well as dead and dying tissue to allow the body to rejuvenate back to that of a 20 year old where it start life anew...

It's not immortality from just one drink because you have to drink it again in another 50 or so years...but I suspect we could determine dosage and take a drop or two every few months to keep us between the physical body age of 20-22 or so...

The test would be HOW MUCH dead and dying tissue is expelled for swallowing HOW MANY DROPS of this liquid...wouldn't be too much fun to be sloughing off skin, teeth, hair and fingernails falling out every couple of months...

I'm sure somewhere out there, someone has secretly discovered a way to retune the DNA to automatically purge the body of dead and dying tissue in a controlled fashion...not a LUMP DISCHARGE as we would do by drinking a glass of the liquid after our body had become massively polluted with these dead and dying tissues.

Lots of room for fascinating experiments which I'd think everyone would want to support but people either don't get it or think its all a load of hot air...but a few of us will work on it nonetheless.

I'd love funding to work on it and test on old animals, then on me, then on volunteers once we had seen results and mapped out how to determine the correct dosage so we don't take too much to FLAME OUT in the final raging inferno of internal fire called Spontaneous Human Combustion or take too little for no useful benefit.

There are so many of US who have the energy and drive to DO THINGS but alas, we don't have the funding...instead people piss vast amounts of money away for personal pleasures, accumulating more and more things...getting attention and hedonistic pleasures and to heck with helping the rest of the world...

I envy Dale Pond because someone believed in him enough to put him in his WILL so when he died, Dale got a ton of money and now has this huge old multi-floor ex sanitarium or hospital which he has retrofitted and converted into a workshop and center for his 'version' of Keely type studies...lucky guy!

We suggest that radiations from the Sun, including the solar winds, well up within the hollow portion of the Earth and are expelled at times, causing the auroral display at a certain altitude of friction.

What the reader should keep in mind as he or she peruses the images below is that the opening is not a matter of flat surface where a hole opens up such that the opening is formed by a right angle drop.

The area around the opening, in other words- that whole side of the Antarctic, is a basin or depression which funnels down into the orifice in a way similar to an hourglass because, of course, the orifice flairs open on the other side.

The problem is that this depression, which is 3-D, is being represented on a two dimensional surface, a flat map, such that the opening gives the impression of a straight-down hole being drilled on a flat surface. Again, it is not exactly like that.

Thus, these NASA images demonstrate that the aurorae originate from within the Earth, that they are expressed through the polar orifices, and the images pinpoint the location of the Southern polar orifice, for all time, better than any of our efforts could do.

Auroral mechanism - Auroras result from emissions of photons in the Earth's upper atmosphere, above 80 km (50 mi), from ionized nitrogen atoms regaining an electron, and oxygen and nitrogen atoms returning from an excited state to ground state.[9] They are ionized or excited by the collision of solar wind and magnetospheric particles being funneled down and accelerated along the Earth's magnetic field lines; excitation energy is lost by the emission of a photon, or by collision with another atom or molecule: oxygen emissions - green or brownish-red, depending on the amount of energy absorbed. Nitrogen emissions - blue or red; blue if the atom regains an electron after it has been ionized, red if returning to ground state from an excited state.

Oxygen is unusual in terms of its return to ground state: it can take three quarters of a second to emit green light and up to two minutes to emit red. Collisions with other atoms or molecules absorb the excitation energy and prevent emission.

Because the very top of the atmosphere has a higher percentage of oxygen and is sparsely distributed such collisions are rare enough to allow time for oxygen to emit red. Collisions become more frequent progressing down into the atmosphere, so that red emissions do not have time to happen, and eventually even green light emissions are prevented.

This is why there is a color differential with altitude; at high altitude oxygen red dominates, then oxygen green and nitrogen blue/red, then finally nitrogen blue/red when collisions prevent oxygen from emitting anything. Green is the most common of all auroras. Behind it is pink, a mixture of light green and red, followed by pure red, yellow (a mixture of red and green), and lastly, pure blue.

Auroras are associated with the solar wind, a flow of ions continuously flowing outward from the Sun. The Earth's magnetic field traps these particles, many of which travel toward the poles where they are accelerated toward Earth.

Collisions between these ions and atmospheric atoms and molecules cause energy releases in the form of auroras appearing in large circles around the poles. Auroras are more frequent and brighter during the intense phase of the solar cycle when coronal mass ejections increase the intensity of the solar wind.[10]

Typically the aurora appears either as a diffuse glow or as "curtains" that approximately extend in the east-west direction. At some times, they form "quiet arcs"; at others ("active aurora"), they evolve and change constantly.

Each curtain consists of many parallel rays, each lined up with the local direction of the magnetic field lines, suggesting that auroras are shaped by Earth's magnetic field.

Indeed, satellites show that electrons are guided by magnetic field lines, spiraling around them while moving toward Earth.

Elias Loomis (1860) and later in more detail Hermann Fritz (1881)[12] and S. Tromholt (1882)[13] established that the aurora appeared mainly in the "auroral zone", a ring-shaped region with a radius of approximately 2500 km around Earth's magnetic pole.

Superconductivity is a phenomenon that occurs in certain materials when cooled to extremely low temperatures such as negative-435 degrees Fahrenheit. High-temperature superconductivity exists at negative-396 degrees Fahrenheit. In both cases electrical resistance drops to zero and complete expulsion of magnetic fields occurs.

Superconductors have the ability to transport large electrical currents and produce high magnetic fields, which means they hold great potential for electronic devices and power transmission.

Derek Meyers, a doctoral student in physics at the U of A, found that the way electrons form in superconductive material — known as the Zhang-Rice singlet state — was present in a chemical compound that is very different from conventional superconductors.

“There is now a whole different class of materials where you can search for the enigmatic superconductivity,” Chakhalian said. “This is completely new because we know that the Zhang-Rice quantum state, which used to be the hallmark of this high-temperature superconductor, could be found in totally different crystal structures. Does it have a potential to become a novel superconductor? We don’t know but it has all the right ingredients.”

In the mid-1980s, physicists determined that all high-temperature superconductive material must contain copper and oxygen and those elements arrange two-dimensionally.

In this material the electrons combine into a unique quantum state called the Zhang-Rice singlets, Chakhalian explained.

“I can make a closed circuit out of the superconducting material, cool it down and attach a battery that starts the flow of the electrons. The current goes around the loop. Then I detach it and leave it. Hypothetically, 1 billion years later the flow of electrons is guaranteed to be exactly the same — with no losses,” he said. “But the problem is we don’t know if we are even using it right. We have no microscopic understanding of what is behind it.”

Based on the doctor's recommendation, the plane makes an emergency landing and the patient is rushed to a nearby hospital. He survives.

The incident on the plane is only half the story. A smartphone connected to a medical device can allow you to monitor your health outside the doctor's office -- and that's amazing. But what makes medical apps truly revolutionary is that they use internet-enabled smartphones and tablets to connect us directly to our family physicians and medical professionals. Patients can now measure their blood pressure, glucose levels, and other vital statistics at home and transmit them daily to their physician.

Receiving these diagnostic measurements remotely, a doctor can track conditions that require frequent monitoring like hypertension, diabetes, and sleep apnea. It is also valuable for patients that need extra attention such recent stroke victims or those who suffer from neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, or dementia. Mobile health apps can also connect physicians with those in underserved communities, remote areas, or with limited mobility for whom office visits are difficult and occur infrequently. With more diagnostic data, doctors can spot the early signs of adverse conditions and take preventive measures to improve health outcomes.

In less than a decade, more than half of U.S. mobile phone users have adopted smartphones -- they now carry a powerful computing device in their pocket or purse that has constant internet connectivity.

University of Washington computer scientists have developed gesture-recognition technology that brings this a step closer to reality. They have shown it's possible to use Wi-Fi signals around us to detect specific movements without needing sensors on the human body or cameras.

By using an adapted Wi-Fi router and a few wireless devices in the living room, users could control their electronics and household appliances from any room in the home with a simple gesture."

When a person moves, there is a slight change in the frequency of the wireless signal. Moving a hand or foot causes the receiver to detect a pattern of changes known as the Doppler frequency shift.

A change in the wireless signal is shown in real time as a user moves his hand. These frequency changes are very small – only several hertz – when compared with Wi-Fi signals that have a 20 megahertz bandwidth and operate at 5 gigahertz. Researchers developed an algorithm to detect these slight shifts. The technology also accounts for gaps in wireless signals when devices aren’t transmitting.

The technology can identify nine different whole-body gestures, ranging from pushing, pulling and punching to full-body bowling. The researchers tested these gestures with five users in a two-bedroom apartment and an office environment. Out of the 900 gestures performed, WiSee accurately classified 94 percent of them.

“This is the first whole-home gesture recognition system that works without either requiring instrumentation of the user with sensors or deploying cameras in every room,” said Qifan Pu, a collaborator and visiting student at the UW.

The system requires one receiver with multiple antennas. Intuitively, each antenna tunes into a specific user’s movements, so as many as five people can move simultaneously in the same residence without confusing the receiver.

WiSee technology uses multiple antennas to focus on one user to detect the person’s gesture. If a person wants to use the WiSee, she would perform a specific repetition gesture sequence to get access to the receiver. This password concept would also keep the system secure and prevent a neighbor – or hacker – from controlling a device in your home.

Once the wireless receiver locks onto the user, she can perform normal gestures to interact with the devices and appliances in her home. The receiver would be programmed to understand that a specific gesture corresponds to a specific device. - Full Article Source - Permalink

"Researchers at Stanford University have developed a small 'aircraft' that resembles a flying fish which can jump and glide over a greater distance than an equivalent jumping robot. Using a carbon fiber spring to take off, the jumpglider has a pivoting wing that stays out of the way during ascent, but which locks into place to glide farther on the way down."

These models suggest ways to improve the traveled distance and indicate that with modest variations in the wing angle of attack during ascent, one can choose from a variety of launch angles to accommodate variations in ground friction without greatly compromising range. - Full Article Source - Permalink

05/29/13 - Expelling alien materials, dead and dying cells to heal and rejuvenate
About the legend of the elixir of life which is claimed to cause the body to expel all dead and dying tissues as well as anything alien to the body.

How do the cells know to extrude/eject the damaged/dead cells out of the body? I'd guess its the function of white blood cells, macrophages, the immune system and the lymph nodes.

So if you have an implant and you take this liquid, the implant, not being natural to the body would be forcibly expelled. I'd imagine painful???

There was a fellow named Sanford Bennett whose story is posted at Everythingthatfollows.

He uses a type of muscle tensioning pattern which he claims 'squeezes' toxins out of the body.

That makes me wonder if this mystery rejuvenation liquid, the elixir of life, would it cause the muscles to contract and 'milk' the toxins (alien invaders), dead and dying cells out of the body?

So on taking this aqua vitae/elixir of life would you go into 'convulsions' as the cells alternately contract and release in a pattern sufficient to squeeze out the toxins or dead/dying cells?

Like squeezing a sponge to push out alien materials....that is similar to the principle Lee Crock said was why he believed his energy cleaner worked...which I sell as the Mexistim.

"It's like taking a bucket lined with dried mud which is similar to the toxins that build up in the cell. If you fill the bucket with water and empty it, you have removed some of the toxins.

By continually filling and emptying the bucket with fresh water, you will eventually have a clean bucket. This is what is believed to happen in the cells when using the machine.

One polarity pulls fluid into the cells, the other polarity ejects the fluid, now laden with toxins, from the cells."

So the idea is to flush the toxins from the cells. Lee also recommended drinking more water than usual to provide the body with more liquid to cleanse the cells.

The cycling of the negative and positive energy is thought to cause a kind of iontophoretic repulsion or attaction where toxins are moved electrically out of the body in a kind of milking fashion.

The ideas and practice of Bennett't theory is worth study and experimentation as a NATURAL way to expel toxins from the body;

"Despairing of relief from doctors and drugs he finally devised a series of some 35 different exercises to be done in bed before arising in the morning.

After following them faithfully for years he had become, in all respects, a young man at 70. This was attested by medical examinations. His face had become smooth without a single wrinkle.

His theory was that the body gets old through the accumulation of mineral deposits in the tissues, which finally become stiff and inelastic.

The object of his exercises was to contract and then relax all the muscles and tissues to squeeze the mineral deposits out to be carried off in the blood stream."

It's really quite a brilliant idea and with concentration and effort on a daily basis it apparently worked for Bennett and others who followed his regimen.

Now what if someone developed a series of electrical patterns based on Bennetts patterns, which caused this 'electronic' milking of the MUSCLES and cells in an OUTWARD FASHION to cause toxins and other damaging materials to be milked out of the body?

Kind of like the body being a dirty sponge and the electrical patterns would squeeze it in Bennetts patterns with each use. Have to work on this, would be an excellent new medical technology that anyone could use, just lie on some absorbent towels and crank it up to squeeze out the toxins.

I'm sure this would take TIME to achieve and you'd have to drink more water to help the body squeeze out the toxins, ideally increased urination as I have experienced with the use of the Mexistim and many others report the same effect...with the expelled urine at first being smelly and dark and with ingestion of more than usual water, over a 2-4 day period the urine becomes clear and with little or no odor.

So it would seem like a good idea to drink more water to help this electronic muscle squeezing effect to purge toxins from the body.

05/29/13 - Drone able to track and round up sheep and cows
Hill farming may soon change forever with the introduction of a battery-powered airborne robot to track and round up flocks.

The drone, developed by Frenchman Marc-Alexandre Favier, costs a few hundred pounds and could eventually be controlled by smartphone.

It uses cameras and image recognition software to find sheep and cows even in remote areas.

Favier, 27, a postgraduate student at Harper Adams University College, Shropshire, told the Sunday Times: 'It's amazing that the technology is becoming so developed that this sort of thing is possible.'

The son of a farmer, he has designed a prototype Unmanned Air System (UAS) to be used as an eye in the sky to manage and monitor livestock on very large and remote estates.

He used an AR Drone 2 with a camera attached to the bottom to allow the user to get a bird’s eye view and came up with a computer programme which instructs the drone to locate, recognise and track livestock.

Although the drone can be controlled via WiFi on a computer, the aim is for farmers to be able to control it using an iPhone or smartphone.

'The number of robots for professional use is increasing significantly - so it is very important to be up-to-date with robotics - it's the future and the present'

Favier said: 'The number of robots for professional use is increasing significantly so it is very important to be up-to-date with robotics - it’s the future and the present.'

He said his prototype was designed with Scottish sheep farmers in mind, many of whom spend large amounts of time and cover many miles monitoring their livestock.

Former One Man presenter Clarissa Dickson Wright was unimpressed by the technological breakthrough. 'There is no substitute for a dog and a shepherd,' she said.

05/29/13 - 12 Early Uses of Electricity...

When mankind first figured out how this mysterious thing called electricity worked, everyone went a little crazy for a while there. Electricity was given diverse and often unbelievably ridiculous uses that ranged from the stupid to the cruel to the perverted ... you know, kind of like what we're doing with the Internet today.

Turns out people in the "Age of Enlightenment" weren't as smart or classy as their mustaches would seem to suggest. Let us introduce you to the most surprising trends stemming from early electricity, like ...

Back in the 18th and 19th century, everyone wanted to experience electricity -- literally. People in France, for example, would line up to voluntarily shock themselves with the newly invented generators, like a nation of babies who haven't learned not to stick their fingers in the wall sockets. The above image from 1844 is called "An Electrocuted Warrior," and it shows a French official finding out what being tased feels like.

Scientists, intrepid seekers of arcane knowledge that they are, were the first to willingly taste the volts. Researchers shocked themselves silly to gauge the strength of the voltage, reporting nosebleeds, headaches, convulsions, and hours and hours of shaking. British investigator Johann Winkler, even after reporting horrible side effects, still went ahead and shocked his wife twice, just to verify his findings.

Controlling unruly horses with electricity - in the image above, you can see that the carriage comes equipped with an electricity generator (the tiny box under the rider's hand), which when activated sends a shock through the reins. A description of this "ingenious and efficacious method" of controlling unruly horses claims that the animal felt "a disagreeable but not painful sensation of an electric pricking." Considering that the shock was administered directly on the horse's teeth, we think it was probably a little more than a "pricking" (you're free to chew a wire if you don't believe us).

The same inventor later came up with an electric whip. Then again, electrocuting animals was one of America's favorite pastimes in the 19th century, and it wasn't just that dickwad Thomas Edison doing it, as we've mentioned before -- Ben Franklin also killed his share of critters. And speaking of animal abuse ...

Medical Electric Baths - Despite sitting in what looks like a steampunk torture device, this gentleman looks remarkably calm about the situation. That's because those ghastly spikes above the man's head actually emit electric waves that "bathe" him in pure healing science. The plus and minus signs represent the magnetic charges that are no doubt rendering his sperm sterile.

This bath is just one of countless electric therapies Enlightenment doctors pulled out of their asses. They would blast away any ailment, from a sore throat to your STD of choice. Does your kid have diarrhea? Try some electricity. Granny suffers from rheumatism? Hook her up to the current. Even major complaints like paralysis or tuberculosis were deemed entirely manageable with a good shock or 16. Sometimes the thing to do was to step into a literal electric bath ...

... and sometimes the doctor would invert the process and draw sparks out of you, a preferred treatment for deafness.

And if you think these were just ruthless quacks taking advantage of the ignorant masses, even Charles Darwin's brilliant grandfather Erasmus was known to prescribe electric shocks for everything from toothache to gallstones. We don't want to know where they inserted the wires on that last one.

Electric Brushes - Electric brushes were a popular fad of the latter half of the 19th century, as this delightfully racist ad demonstrates. Besides supposedly curing male pattern baldness and dandruff, this particular brand of multitasking electric hairbrush will somehow also rid you of headaches, rheumatism, and even constipation. Wait, under what scenario is this thing even close to the part of the body where digestion happens (or doesn't)? What type of body hair does Dr. Scott think we're brushing? - Full Article Source - Permalink

05/25/13 - Charge Your Cellphone In 20 Seconds (Eventually)

"An 18-year-old from Saratoga, California has won an international science fair for creating an energy storage device that can be fully juiced in 20 to 30 seconds.

The fast-charging device is a so-called supercapacitor, a gizmo that can pack a lot of energy into a tiny space, charges quickly and holds its charge for a long time.

What's more, it can last for 10,000 charge-recharge cycles, compared with 1,000 cycles for conventional rechargeable batteries, according to the inventor Eesha Khare."

This one in particular has been used so far only to power an LED, rather than a phone or laptop, but I hope in a few years near-instant charging of portable electronics will be the norm as supercapacitors grow more common.

To date, she has used the supercapacitor to power a light-emitting diode, or LED. The invention's future is even brighter. She sees it fitting inside cellphones and the other portable electronic devices that are proliferating in today's world, freeing people and their gadgets for a longer time from reliance on electrical outlets.

"It is also flexible, so it can be used in rollup displays and clothing and fabric," Khare added. "It has a lot of different applications and advantages over batteries in that sense." - Full Article Source - Permalink

05/25/13 - Indication of anomalous heat energy production in a reactor device
An experimental investigation of possible anomalous heat production in a special type of reactor tube named E-Cat HT is carried out. The reactor tube is charged with a small amount of hydrogen loaded nickel powder plus some additives. The reaction is primarily initiated by heat from resistor coils inside the reactor tube.

Measurement of the produced heat was performed with high-resolution thermal imaging cameras, recording data every second from the hot reactor tube.

The measurements of electrical power input were performed with a large bandwidth three-phase power analyzer. Data were collected in two experimental runs lasting 96 and 116 hours, respectively.

An anomalous heat production was indicated in both experiments. The 116-hour experiment also included a calibration of the experimental set-up without the active charge present in the E-Cat HT. In this case, no extra heat was generated beyond the expected heat from the electric input.

Computed volumetric and gravimetric energy densities were found to be far above those of any known chemical source. Even by the most conservative assumptions as to the errors in the measurements, the result is still one order of magnitude greater than conventional energy sources.

05/25/13 - Why E-Cat Looks Like a Hoax

In the past few days, several readers have submitted word of a paper published on Arxiv allegedly confirming the efficacy of Andrea Rossi's "E-Cat," a device Rossi says transmutes nickel into copper, producing cheap energy in the process.

Ethan Siegel of ScienceBlogs takes a skeptical look at the buzz surrounding this paper, and asks some seemingly obvious questions, pointing out various ways in which the cold-fusion / cheap-energy claims could be either confirmed or debunked.

First time accepted submitter CdXiminez writes with a capsule of Siegel's points: "What would it take to convince a reasonable observer that you've got a controlled nuclear reaction going on here?

Things not shown in the earlier report: Show that nuclear transmutation has in fact taken place; Start the device operating by whatever means you want, then disconnect all external power to it, and allow it to run; Place a gamma-ray detector around the device; Accurately monitor the power drawn from all sources to the device at all times, while also monitoring the energy output from the device at all times." - Full Article Source - Permalink

05/25/13 - Warpspeed Spacecraft to Alpha Centauri in Two Weeks

NASA’s Warp Drive Project: “Speeds” that Could Take a Spacecraft to Alpha Centauri in Two Weeks — Even Though the System is 4.3 Light-Years Away.

A few months ago, physicist Harold White stunned the aeronautics world when he announced that he and his team at NASA had begun work on the development of a faster-than-light warp drive.

His proposed design, an ingenious re-imagining of an Alcubierre Drive, may eventually result in an engine that can transport a spacecraft to the nearest star in a matter of weeks — and all without violating Einstein’s law of relativity.

Essentially, the empty space behind a starship would be made to expand rapidly, pushing the craft in a forward direction — passengers would perceive it as movement despite the complete lack of acceleration.

White speculates that such a drive could result in “speeds” that could take a spacecraft to Alpha Centauri in a mere two weeks — even though the system is 4.3 light-years away.

In terms of the engine’s mechanics, a spheroid object would be placed between two regions of space-time (one expanding and one contracting).

A “warp bubble” would then be generated that moves space-time around the object, effectively repositioning it — the end result being faster-than-light travel without the spheroid (or spacecraft) having to move with respect to its local frame of reference.

“Remember, nothing locally exceeds the speed of light, but space can expand and contract at any speed..." (Thanks to Jim Tanner - JWD) - Full Article Source - Permalink

05/25/13 - Wireless microcontroller/PC interface for $3
Sending data from a microcontroller to a PC usually requires some sort of serial connection, either through fiddly on-chip USB, FTDI chips, or expensive radio ICs.

[Scott] didn’t want to deal with this when creating a network of wireless temperature sensors, so he hacked up a few cheap 433 MHz radio transmitters and receivers to transmit data to a PC for about $3.

After sensor data is collected on a microcontroller and sent over radio, there’s still the issue of getting it into a PC. For this, [Scott] piped the data into the microphone port of a cheap USB sound card. We’ve seen this trick before both in the world of microcontrollers and loading programs onto a Commodore 64 via a cassette interface.

Once the data is sent into the sound card, it’s decoded with a a small Python app. Given the range and quality of the RF transmitters and receivers [Scott] says it’s not an extremely reliable way to send data to a PC.

It is cheap, though, and if you need to read sensors wirelessly on a budget, it’s hard to do much better. - Full Article Source - Permalink

05/25/13 - A Computer-based Smart Rifle With Incredible Accuracy, Now On Sale
"A story on NPR reports that the TrackingPoint rifle went on sale today, and can enable a 'novice' to hit a target 500 yards away on the first try.

The rifle's scope features a sophisticated color graphics display (video). The shooter locks a laser on the target by pushing a small button by the trigger...

But here's where it's different: You pull the trigger but the gun decides when to shoot.

It fires only when the weapon has been pointed in exactly the right place, taking into account dozens of variables, including wind, shake and distance to the target.

The rifle has a built-in laser range finder, a ballistics computer and a Wi-Fi transmitter to stream live video and audio to a nearby iPad.

Every shot is recorded so it can be replayed, or posted to YouTube or Facebook."

05/15/13 - Magnetic ring antennas and Tractor Field

German boffins have discovered that two microscopic magnets glued together can create a radio antenna capable of transmitting into the GHz band - where mobile phone signals and other tech lies.

The disks are only 500 billionths of a metre wide and 10nm thick, so even once a pair of them are stuck together with a similarly sized non-magnetic layer between them, the overall component is still bloody small. At the centre of the resulting disk is a stable magnetic vortex allowing the device to transmit radio signals. It paves the way for a new generation of tiny antennas.

The existence of vortices in nanoscale magnetic disks has been known for a while. Various researchers hope to exploit them as computer memory, but the breakthrough here is the discovery that two stupidly tiny magnets will stabilise each other and thus permit high-frequency transmissions.

A magnetic disk 500nm across has north and south poles circling it, as though one has taken a chain of bar magnets and attached the last to the first to make a circle, a series of which make up the disk. But as one approaches the centre of the ring there is no longer room for our chain of poles so they're obliged to stand up, or point down, and it's this duality of position which lends itself to computer memory.

Apply a voltage to the disk and the vortex spins and emits radio waves. This is fine to a point, although once the frequency starts to get anywhere useful the polarity reverses and the spinning stops and has to be run up again in the opposite direction - not ideal for contiguous transmission.

Which is where the second disk comes in. Once the two disks are glued together the circular pattern of bar magnets goes into three dimensions: as well as curving around the disk our hypothetical magnets curve into each other creating something akin to a torus, stabilising the vortex core which can now be spun at much higher speeds. - Full Article Source - Permalink

05/15/13 - Barns Are Painted Red Because of the Physics of Dying Stars
Have you ever noticed that almost every barn you have ever seen is red? There’s a reason for that, and it has to do with the chemistry of dying stars. Seriously.

Yonatan Zunger is a Google employee who decided to explain this phenomenon on Google+ recently. The simple answer to why barns are painted red is because red paint is cheap. The cheapest paint there is, in fact. But the reason it’s so cheap? Well, that’s the interesting part.

Red ochre—Fe2O3—is a simple compound of iron and oxygen that absorbs yellow, green and blue light and appears red. It’s what makes red paint red. It’s really cheap because it’s really plentiful. And it’s really plentiful because of nuclear fusion in dying stars.

As soon as the star hits the 56 nucleon (total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus) cutoff, it falls apart. It doesn’t make anything heavier than 56. What does this have to do with red paint? Because the star stops at 56, it winds up making a ton of things with 56 neucleons. It makes more 56 nucleon containing things than anything else (aside from the super light stuff in the star that is too light to fuse).

The element that has 56 protons and neutrons in its nucleus in its stable state? Iron. The stuff that makes red paint. - Full Article Source - Permalink

05/15/13 - Hand-held "Sound Camera" Shows You the Source of Noises
"If you work with machinery, engines or appliances of any type, then you've likely experienced the frustration of hearing a troublesome noise coming from somewhere, but not being able to pinpoint where.

If only you could just grab a camera, and take a picture that showed you the noise's location. Well, soon you should be able to do so, as that's just what the SeeSV-S205 sound camera does."

Part of the reason that the SeeSV-S205 is so much smaller and simpler than other sound cameras lies in the fact that it doesn’t detect as wide of a range of frequencies. Co-inventor Prof.

Seok-Hyung Bae explained that this is because “Abnormal noises coming from industrial products have relatively higher frequencies.” As a result, it’s limited to noises between 350 Hz and 12 kHz – which should apparently be all that it really needs. - Full Article Source - Permalink

The vehicle, known as "Maverick," uses a 100-metre runway to take off and flies under a parasail. But it also needs a 100-metre runway to make a safe landing.'"

According to the manufacturer's website, the car can travel at speeds up to 160 kilometres per hour on land and up to 65 kilometres per hour in the air. It costs at least $94,000 to purchase, according to the site. - Full Article Source - Permalink

05/15/13 - Rejuvenation of Aged with the Help of Young
Aged muscle successfully regenerates when grafted into muscle in a young host, but young muscle displays impaired regeneration when grafted into an aged host. It was hypothesized that there are systemic factors that support the robust regeneration of tissues in young animals and/or inhibit regeneration in old animals, and that these factors act to modulate the key molecular pathways that control the regenerative properties of progenitor cells.

The implication of this hypothesis is that old tissues might be made to regenerate as well as young tissues if, by means of systemic influences, the molecular pathways could be 'rejuvenated' from an old state to a young state. To test this hypothesis scientists have set up an experimental system in which – in contrast to transplantation – regenerating tissues in aged animals could be exposed only to the circulating factors of young animals, and vice versa.

They established parabiotic pairings between young and old mice (heterochronic parabioses), with parabiotic parings between two young mice or two old mice (isochronic parabioses) as controls. In parabiosis, animals develop vascular anastomoses and thus a single, shared circulatory system.

Previous work examining the effects of heterochronic parabiosis showed that such pairings may alter tissue function, but the effects on progenitor cell activity or tissue regeneration have not been examined. The loss of muscle regeneration with age is due at least in part to an age-related impairment in the upregulation of the Notch ligand Delta after muscle injury.

Therefore, it was tested whether heterochronic parabiosis restored Delta upregulation in aged satellite cells and thus enhanced their activation and proliferation. Using myofibre explantation to assess satellite cell activation, satellite cells for the expression of Delta has been analyzed. In young isochronic and heterochronic parabionts there was a marked upregulation of Delta in satellite cells, whereas Delta induction was lacking in the old, isochronic parabionts (Fig. 1), typical of the response of aged muscle.

Notably, satellite cells from the aged partners of heterochronic parabionts showed a marked upregulation of Delta, comparable to that found in their young partners (Fig. 1) and in young mice not subjected to parabiotic pairings. There was a slight inhibition of Delta upregulation in satellite cells from young mice in heterochronic parabioses compared with young isochronic parabionts (Fig. 1).

Thus, heterochronic parabiosis not only enhances the proliferative response of the resident aged progenitor cells, it also restores the key molecular signalling in these cells that is necessary for muscle regeneration. - Full Article Source - Permalink

05/15/13 - No ooga booga please
We can't be promoting discovery as only possible using some mystical skills from 'sensitives', it either works or it doesn't, no ooga-booga needed...its a matter of not qualifying but of QUANTIFYING using meters, scopes, to build and test actual, reproducible devices that work everytime, not just when the spirits allow it...lol...

So I guess we have different approaches...I maintained and repaired hundreds of machines, some very complex, over a period of 25 years in 3 different photolabs...I loved it and modified many of the machines to correct design errors and make them work longer with much less downtime as a direct result of my modification.

For me, using meters and logic is the only way to go for real world devices...

I love this spook stuff and would be privileged to be a part of quantifying it for reliable effects so that it's no longer hand motions (boy is that RIPE for a joke), but that we actually understand what it does, how it works and how to measure it to control it.

I'm sure over time, humans will relearn how to manipulate aether/zpe to the point we can focus the lense of our mind on a desired effect,

stomp the semi-crystalline, dilatant matrix of the aether/zpe into a puddle of undifferentiated mud/clay to impinge our sustained will on it long enough,

projecting a virtual state image of our desire, so as it recrystallizes back into 'matter',

we will have programmed it to BECOME our desires...

An interesting reference to the Cargo Cult you made...and I've read about them many times with clones all over the world and FIXTURES in all religions where the ignorant (notice, NOT STUPID, just they don't yet understand how it works), relegate science down to magic...such as believing because you can fly (understand and use gravity), then you MUST BE A GOD.

A choice...woo-woo chants versus rote copying in hopes someone in the cult will stumble on how it actually worked versus trying to feel or sense some superfine effect (if it even exists and isn't a product of self-delusion by 'wanting to believe') that can't be measured with metrics.

I choose NEITHER...

Learn all we can of science and metrics, study all the woo-woo stuff, try to emulate it and measure it along the way...what triggers it...what sustains it, what measurable, quantifiable effects it has and how to shut it down in a controlled fashion... - Full Article Source - Permalink
