Why : "It's The Thought That Counts"

When you give someone a present, it's just a way of showing them that you like them, or care for them.
-----But in modern holidays it's somewhat just making someone the happiest that they can possibly be by giving them exactly what they've always wanted, and now you pale in comparison to the actual gift.(gift giver= worth less than the actual gift)
-----But if you were to give a cheap gift that "said"(the same thing inexpensively) which is that you like the person, and care about them, and want them to stay around(as in a card that said it in words about how you like the person ; or something that was homemade). Then in that scenario you would have given a gift where it was the thought that had counted, and not the price tag.

Complete Wilderness Survival Supply List : For Camping (updated 4 times)

To survive for extended periods you may want triple redundancy of each one of the essentials, so that there is always a backup plan if something fails. You may also want to be prepared for all eventualities, and not take unneeded risks.
  • Medical: Fungicide, antiseptic, antibiotic, duct tape as bandage(It stays on better than band aid and is just as sterile, and water proof). Use alcohol as a disinfectant, if needed.
  • Indefinite Water supply: Find water along the way, and then use "Chlor Floc" developed by the military as a foolproof way to make fresh water cheaply out of any water source other than salt water. Or you could just boil the water, and use a coffee strainer to filter out contaminates. This is good when free wood is available. It's also possible to boil water by dropping fire heated rocks in water 1 at a time.
  • Indefinite Light source: Get a "Solar Powered Folding Battery Charger" with a voltmeter feature and auto shut down function when fully charged. You can get this at a reputable online science catalog retailer. Look to This other posting of mine, for more info. Then put some freshly recharged nickel metal hydride batteries into a head lamp and a table lantern. Batteries won't work in extreme cold, so for that use wind up flashlights because they use capacitors(which can't freeze) instead of batteries. Or use a self made invention that is at this link.
  • Indefinite Fire supply: A "ferrocerium, firesteel " and scraper(works the same way as flint but better)is the best way to start a fire and won't run out for 30 years at 1 fire/day. And bring a small tin to hold dry tinder in, or to make charred cloth in, because you need very combustible tinder with firesteel. And if you economize by relighting left over embers whenever you can in the mornings after a fire, the flint set could last a lifetime.(Specs) LATER ADDED: I just got my firesteel in the mail from Amazon.com. And it can set cotton on fire or lighter fluid, and also palm bark hairs. I plan on making some charred cloth or charred paper with an altoids tin and a hole poked in the top. The hole being there to let you know that it's done smoking, and is now char cloth. But only with great effort can you start fire with friction.
  • Indefinitely sharp knife: Bring a small diamond embedded course grain sharpener, and fine grain polisher, all in 1.
  • LATER ADDED: I just got a small (5in.x5in.) carbide(coarse grain) and ceramic (fine grain) knife sharpener for $5 @ Walmart, in the camping section. And it makes my previously dull knife sharper than a razor blade and sharp enough to cut thin layers of skin off of my fingers with hardly any pressure. And I'd estimate that it will keep knives sharp for me for maybe 50 years.
  • Keep organized: I have all of my survival epuipment on one "keychain caribeener" that I bought at a dollar store. So I can easilly get the particular item off of the caribeener. It includes a small rechargable flashlight that uses a lithium ion battery, firesteel, knife sharpener, multi-tool, all on separate rings attached to the caribeener. This doesn't include big items like a good knife, or large lights, or a gps, or charcloth tin(may get a better tin that can attach to a ring).
  • Food: Guide book on edible plants and animals of the area.
  • Cooking equipment: Metal meal sized bowl(held by a handle over fire), and utensils collapsible water jug, cast iron portable grill, and cover to bake. I once made designs for a super camp stove (LATER ADDED:It's not useful enough to bother making, I'd now rather just have a mini coal burning BBQ. You can also make your own wood coals); An interesting novelty is a pop can alcohol burner (see link: "cool little stove") with dollar store, or homemade, alcohol. But old fashioned fire and wood coals in a dirt pit, work just fine out in the wild, for cooking.
  • Perfect Clothes & Washing: Look to How stuff works(use this link), to see what they say about what to wear, and to do in the cold. To wash clothes with soap, use a water bucket, soap, and a clean plunger to agitate the conventionally washed clothes. Otherwise clean nonabsorbent material clothes with an alcohol soaked rag, over a sturdy platform/frame.
  • Shelter: A good hammock with a mosquito net add-on. And a slanted aluminized heat reflective tarp over it, to be a radiant heat reflector for a fire that is on the other side of the hammock, for warmth at night, and to shield you from rain, but also has a rain catch to collect fresh water. Hammocks are above the ground to not conduct away your body heat as fast, but it helps to also have very warm clothes or a good sleeping bag in the hammock. But make sure that the hammock is made to be easily tied to a tree, either with straps that use the principle of friction around the trees to hold you up, or have a nail in the tree to stop the string from slipping, or a self tightening knot like a "snare knot",which is also easilly untied when done(called "breaking the knot"). This is the lightest weight shelter. But be sure to place your shoes upside down over 2 sticks in the ground to avoid scorpions getting into your shoes at night, when you get into your hammock.
  • Knots: It's good to know how to tie knots for camping, look to "Youtube" under "Camping knots".It's good read up on most knots because you never know when they'll come in handy. The knots that will be used regularly are the snare knot, and a truckers knot and a falconer's knot for the tarp, half hitch(Useful in many ways, easilly remembered by"around and through"), anchor bend or the two half, constrictor knot(a variation of the clove hitch exept you make one of the free ends of rope go through one of the 2 half hitches that the clovehitch is comprized of), prussik knot(fot climbing), sheet bend(for tieing 2 ropes of differing diameter's together, clove hitch, tension/taughtline hitch, Bowline(one of the most useful, and easilly remembered by first making a bite in the rope, and then:"The rabbit goes out the hole, around the tree, and then back into the hole"). Feel free to improvise when making knots, and even to invent your own knots. And the clinch knot for fishing.
  • LATER ADDED: I was recently notified of hammocks being uncomfortable to sleep in, because of not being able to roll over and also sparks may fly from the fire and catch you on fire, and also smoke can get in the hammock. But in reality when the fire is burned down into red coals there isn't smoke or sparks, and it only gets safer as you sleep, so I doubt that those are very big problems, and to fix them just sleep further from the fire and tie the hammock lower to the ground. Also some people don't mind sleeping in one place, and the best hammocks are impossible to fall out of because they wrap around you, so you are still able to roll over during sleep. Or just put heated up rocks in the hammock instead of being close to the fire, or be in tent and have a hanging alcohol candle holder on a hook on the top of the tent. And really warm clothes may be needed to equal the warmth of a well made sleeping bag if you don't have a fire. Also you need to tend to the fire at night, which gets easier with bigger fires because they last longer and give more heat from further away. And the smoke rises faster to not get into the hammock. See: Hammocks on Wiki.
  • Transportation: A van can act as a warm shelter for inclement weather. Have a paddle boat on top of van for water excursions.
  • Safety equipment: Gun: AR-15(Or try: Survival weapon), or a .357 magnum revolver, weather radio, sattelite cell phone, GPS, LED headlamp, (Charge it's batteries with solar powered battery charger : Look to this for a good place to buy one).You can make your own bow also for spear fishing. Epinephrine can be used to save you from anaphylactic shock by acting as artificial adrenalin.
  • Tools: Twine/rope, or tree roots, your shoelaces should be able to double as cordage. Sewing kit, Multi tool (w/scissors, knife, tweezer, pliers, needle pick, screw drivers, file, magnifying glass and light, find for sale at the store "Ross"). Also bring manuals on edible foods and medical techniques. And always bring a good, all purpose, sharp knife along with sharpening tools. Foil is good for making standing structures to collect water, or anything else. And bring a supply of small chlorine tablets(AKA: "Chlor. Floc.")/and a water jug(to fill up with water as you go, so that you don't carry too much). May get a crank or solar powered power supply/lamp, that can charge a cell phone in a pinch, or other things too.
  • Ultimate Navigation: GPS military grade for durability, and is rechargable, See: consumer reports ; Or make a map as you travel by the time of travel/and direction/and landmarks/in a field notepad. For being rescued, leave a line of rocks, or personal items, or spray paint, to indicate your direction of travel to others. To find true north, point the hour hand of your watch at the sun and half way between that and 12:00 is south(if you're in the northern hemisphere).
  • Entertainment: Camera, video games, music, E-Books on a PDA. LATER ADDED: I recently tried putting Roms of games onto my Games'n'Music cart for the DS. But the games and music device isn't reliable because the micro SD card malfunctions, and now won't work properly. So the best way to have games and comics and videos in a tiny device is with just a conventional PDA or Iphone, or laptop, because PDA's are being replaced by cell phones w/ screens. And to have infinite free comics you should buy one by one or in bulk at a comic sale, and then sell in bulk on ebay(so that you get the most profit from low shipping costs to buyers) after you have scanned their pages and put them onto portable media. To have a complete collection to read anywhere in compact form. But this requires too much effort to be worth doing.
  • Personal Hygiene: Either use TP or do the arm rub test on different types of leaves to choose one that doesn't create rash. It is possible to use homemade alcohol/lemon scented soaked rag that doubles as shower and clothes washer : This is in essence the same as a "Wet nap" or "Wet wipe" or "Moist towelette"(Put the clothes on a frame and then scrub them with the homemade "Handiwipe"rag).The alcohol rag is also self cleaning, because of it being antibacterial, and a solvent. Or just use the regular warm soapy water and rag for showering. And reserve the alcohol for your water proof material clothing cleaning, or medical disinfection. But for conventionally washed clothing use a bucket, and soapy water, and a clean plunger for agitation. Also bring: razor, comb, shampoo, and toothpaste.
Also, it's good to learn to make things out of nothing. You can make an ax or wedge or a knife out of certain types of glass like stones, called "flint knapping" (paleontologists say that we evolved our hands by doing that). Or you can make rope out of the roots of small trees, or nettle stems skin. Or make a hammer out of a log or a stone. Or tent pegs out of sticks cut to shape. Or you can make an oven out of the ground, and hot rocks, and leaves(or soil) on top. Or boil water with hot rocks added to the water(It's good to drink hot water in extremely cold weather). And make bug repellent out of wood ash or just dirt/mud.
But in the end if you ever actually feel like you are ruffing it, then that just means that you're doing things wrong. When camping or hiking or surviving, it is a choice to be cold, or wet or uncomfortable at all, because with knowledge you can avoid all of that out in the wilderness anywhere.
Research:"Bush craft" on youtube. Or research: "SERE training" on youtube.
--------------------------------------------------
LATER ADDED: The absolute essentials: Knife/sharpener,firesteel, good cordage for shoelaces, appropriate clothing that is water resistant, knowledge of edible plants and animals, alcohol, duct tape, metal water container,wrist watch.
With those few items, and some knowledge, you can make: Fire, potable water, food(and it's preservation by smoking it), tools, shelter, navigation, weapon, medical, and the same hygiene as most animals.
When surviving basic instinct should take over. It eat or be eaten. And you're only in it to survive and do anything to get there. This is a different mindset than just saying over and over again"I want to just go home please". In survival you should never think about family and friends because they are on the very bottom of your priorities of things to think about. And if you hear a noise in the woods this should never be scary if you have the survival mentality, and logic, and don't let emotional hangups about the city get in your way. The survival instinct should say to be prepared and follow the "please remember what's first rule". (P)rotection, (R)escue, (W)ater, (F)ood. Keeping busy is also a good trick to keeping up your moral.
Sometimes it's the greatest feeling to be in the middle of nowhere, with no way for anyone to ever be able to help you, just to test your own abilities and independece. But only if you're not scared of the actual universe.
The one thing that you will always be able to trust, and rely on 100% of the time, for the rest of eternity, is... the universe. Because it can never malfunction, or lie to you, or be incorrect like humans have the potential to be.

New Self-Built House Design : November,08,'07

----- This is my new simpler above ground rammed earth house design. You would make the rammed earth bricks out of subsoil and water and put the mud into a press which you use leverage to compact the sand/loam/clay mixture (test different mixtures for the best composition)
-----The solar panels can be the new nanotech printed kind now that it's available and it's bound to lower in price. The company name is "Nanosolar" go to www.nanosolar.com to be able to buy it through their integrator people in your area and is $00.30/watt instead of the $3/watt of conventional solar panels, or the $1/watt of coal power(from pg. 102 of "popular science December 2007")
-----The solar heating window is south facing and warms up the house during the day and is a highly insulating window. And you may cover the window in the summers.
-----The foundation may not be needed if the house doesn't settle much in the short term and the structure isn't heavy enough to crush you(only being a metal roof/thin solar cells, and the metal poles keep the walls from collapsing inward) . But for flooring you still need either stone or hardwood floors with a moisture barrier in between it and the ground to stop expansion/ contraction(stone slabs don't need a moisture barrier but you still don't want mold and mildew growing, so use liquid vinyl paint and plywood then a flooring style on top. If you don't just put in a cement foundation in the first place!
-----For the metal roof research "roof" on Wikipedia under "metal roof" for the best kind to buy. And for the underside of the metal roof you may use "spray foam" as insulation unless it is actually toxic which they may not be telling us. In which case use something lightweight with high insulating ability that you can stick to or stretch across the whole roof(i.e.wool blankets or packing material sheets bolted on).
-----Lighting: To light the house you may use the "EverLED tube" from "everled.com"or at "ledsupply.com" for $150 that looks just like a florescent tube but it lasts 5 times longer and uses 25% less energy and is nontoxic.
-----Power storage: Just get deep cycle lead acid batteries, or if it's practical at all you may use the new nanotech lithium-ion batteries from "a123systems.com" and get the developers pack for 130$ to store the power for the house at night. Or if you're really good you may even make your own electric vehicle with this. But since there is no place to charge up along the way, it's pointless to make an electric vehicle.
-----Trash: Have a 2 plastic bins that are in a slide out drawer under the counter. In one of the bins you put biodegradable material and add sawdust and water as needed. And in the other bin you put nonbiodegradable trash or recyclables.

Super Camp Stove

Have regular ceramic range top(which is tungsten covered with a ceramic to not oxidize) that is connected to a potentiometer ( or in other words variable resistor) and then you need a high flow rate battery such as a nanotube-lithium-ion battery(from"a123systems.com" if it works) or a supercapacitor. For the reason of being able to pump extremely large amounts of energy through the wire without over heating the power source, which is what would happen to a conventional battery.
And to charge the battery you need a reliable power source that will be sufficient to charge the battery on the worst day that the power source would have.
Power source options are:
  • Solar- It works less on cloudy days but still works if you have a big enough panel or a full spectrum absorbtion panel(which may or may not be available some day- these were used on the Mars landers).
  • Solar heated chimney with DC duct fan generator- Is just an invention of mine that is a black colored heat conductive pipe surrounded by glass to collect heat. And cold air comes in through the bottom of pipe and is heated as it rises with turns the blades of the fan to produce energy. And works on cloudy days and absorbs only heat rays.
Benefits of Super Camp Stove:
  • You can produce you're own fuel for it and live indefinitely outdoors.
  • It can work at any temperature by using the potentiometer and having a good kind of battery that doesn't overheat.
  • It will never break.
  • Is easy to clean.
  • Is compact in size.

You Can Get Rich $$$$$$$

It is possible for anyone to become rich in America... if you want to. The size of your "well to do" is directly proportional to the size of your "want to".

The only reason that I see for there even being an earnings gap is that people just aren't willing to do the effort involved to get rich, or to even research how to. I myself want to think about it until I have an easy way of doing it, so I probably will never be rich either.

But I do know that if I went to school at any time to study for one year and got certified to be an electrician it would be easy work for good pay,and I could be rich eventually, but even that's not good enough, I need something that's even easier than that. Which is probably the same reason why no one else I know is rich either. Only because they don't want to do what it takes to actually be rich, really.

Alan Greenspan was saying the other day on Charlie Rose that there is an earnings gap that leads to unhappiness. Which is totally wrong in its concept if you understand why we chose capitalism over socialism. If you don't realize why we chose capitalism then you don't realize what the founding fathers foresaw to allow us to become the wealthiest country to ever exist. (research the definitions of capitalism/socialism and why we chose capitalism on Wikipedia)

In a nutshell, the reason why we chose capitalism is that when people own property they have the incentive to improve the property to make a profit and become rich. But the socialist opinion on that is that capitalism eventually creates monopolies over properties. Which would lead to the same thing as slavery(monopoly=slavery?). But what people don't understand is that the only way that monopolies can exist is if your government supports it(wich include the phone system and power system). Because the free market is self correcting unless government controlled, and self correcting means that if you have a monopoly, they will always fall because the market will open up for new companies to create a cheaper or better product eventually:
----------like the railroad monopolies 100 years ago were eventually taken over by other transportation technology, like the airplane and truckers----------------------------

But then you may ask, what if eventually there are no new technologies to push out the original monopoly technologies some day?----- Well, never underestimate what people will do to make a profit. they will make a whole new technology where there is opportunity or they will undercut the monopoly by making a second system that is cheaper. And the people that own the monopoly usually become complacent and don't see new technologies as real and pass up opportunities, and make bad decisions of short term profit instead of long term stability. But anyways it always self corrects.
----------And recently in the news from the lead content of Chinese merchandise and shoddy manufacturing and all of the recalls, there is now a new movement by opportunist business owners in America to put stickers on their American made merchandise that say things like "China free manufacturing". Which shows how cut throat business tactics that undercut quality standards for short term profits, to be the price leader, are always self corrected , and the nice businesses win in the end mostly----------------------------------------------------------

So there really is no earnings inequality, really. Only lucky people/ hard working people/ and lazy people. But there are also add agencies that continuously lie to trick you into buying worthless or dangerous things,(propaganda uses the same techniques that modern advertisements still use; which is pretty depressing when you look at how well it works at electing presidents). So there may need to be informative booklets to keep kids away from using credit cards, or drugs, or smoking or other scams. But if they're still stupid enough to do those things after being instructed well about not doing it, then I guess that's just too bad because there has never been another system of society that has worked as perfectly as our system does. And it may not even be improvable, except for getting rid of evil people, which takes genetic procedures... if anything at all can ever solve that.

Why Do I Like Subsistance Living As Well As Wealthy Living? (updated 2 times)

The fact is, that you can live just as good of a life as anyone without spending any more money than an original investment in the right technology.

  • To not pay electricity bills : Just have amorphous solar panels that will last indefinitely and never have a rise of monthly cost, and may even be the same as having an interest earning account of 7% per year and on up (If you use the math of a penny saved is mathematically the same as a penny earned).
  • To not pay mortgage or rent bills : Just build your own house which you can find plans for right here on my site. And it will take less than a month to fully build guaranteed, and will cost subsistence amounts of money, and will perform 10 times better than a modern built house. Except that you need to find a place with no building laws at all, to be allowed to build it-----By the way, the reason that houses are built under par these days and are getting worse even, is the fact that when people in America created the building codes, the people building the houses realized that they could build just barely within the minimum safety requirements (building codes) by using the cheapest materials and methods. And could sell the house for just as much as all of the other houses( watch the show "Holmes on homes" on the DIY network I think it is, to see him say the same).
  • To not pay taxes on the house : You need to have an interest earning account- 10,000$ at 6% interest earning account will be 600$/year or 50$/mo.------- Or you just don't let people know that you built a house( just like you don't let people know if you built a tree house) and they won't be able to tax you for any "value"( which is what people will pay you if you sell it, not what it actually cost you to build).
  1. But what I'm planning is that as long as I either have no nearby neighbors or I do have visual barriers to the property, then it is impossible for them to know about it or even care if they did know about it. And if they ever find out then I just have to demolish it and start over and build it again in only one weeks time. Anyways there are tons of hunting cabins on people's properties that are never complained about. I'm willing to accept the risks.
  • To get food and water you just need land! And to get land you need to fight other people for it now because people have been sooooooo stupid that now the population has increased to preposterous levels. And things that were normal to have 100 years ago are too expensive or rare to get no matter how hard you try now.-----So now that you have the land you can either plant an artificial forest with perennials or you can do a self watering regular garden(sprinklers/irrigation pond).
  • To get fresh water:
  1. You can read in any survival book that, "The best way to get drinking water is to first find the water, then filter out particulates and tastes with any normal filter, and then just boil the water, as long as it doesn't contain industrial waste".
  2. You can get run off from any roof and treat it with : Chlorine, and a pump, a filter, an then put it in a tank to be used for shower water.
  3. Then boil some for other purposes. Or you can dig a hole at a low point in you property that can fill up with water naturally within a year depending on the size of the hole you dug. And then treat, and filter the water as needed. Or dig a well if there's no other way.

But there are ways to get almost anything done for you for free:
  • Light: Ultrabright LED's have a longer lifespan than florescent bulbs and can be household sized. There are now replacements for florescent light fixtures that are made out of a row of LED's for 150$ ea. (Look to a later article for where to find)
  • Computer:The best kind is one that is completely composed of flash memory, this is what is called a solid state drive(disc) or SSD(see: Wikipedia). And is the logical next step in computers but you can completely erase it if it ever gets a virus and put back up copies of it's operating system or programs onto an external hard drive, just like you need to do with all computers anyways for safety. And it would all only take minutes, and uses less energy for the whole computer, and solid state for durability. Except for the fact that it just came out this year and costs 3,000$ for a laptop.
  • TV: Just have a projector screen and all of your problems are solved, it should also double as a monitor to use it as a computer screen if you hook it up via wifi thru your laptop.-----LATER ADDED-----Look at the Dec. issue of popular science and it shows how there is already an OrganicLED TV that is high priced now, but I predict that it will totally replace all other TV technologies. Because of it's extremely low manufacturing costs and that it can therefore be the size of a whole wall and still be cheap. As long as the OLED's frame rates are good enough. And the screen is only a few mm thick.
  • Transportation:Solar cell charged "supercapacitors"(which are just around the corner see:Wikipedia) that use dark "aerogel"/ an AC induction motor/and any practical vehicle(helicopter or "autogyro"(see:Wikipedia) being the best). Or just have an electric vehicle that you charge at night just like a cell phone, using the new nano technology lithium ion batteries. But for long road trips without the infrastructure of nighttime chargers you should just rent a car.
  • Trash: Composter.
  • Toilet: Composter.
  • Supplies: Paid by interest, or buy reusable ones, or homemade.(10$/mo)
  • Medical: Yearly checkup with interest(insurance won't cover it even if they say they will so don't buy it) but get a "EBTScan"to see any faults in the body at all and they will have a cure to cancer in 2 years that uses micro waves and microspheres that carry microwave sensitive materials and that are attracted to cancer by the use of "introns"(it has recently been shown on the news so look on "youtube"). For heart disease they now only need to make a small incision and go in between the ribs to replace any artery. And they are researching ways to manufacture artificial organs with biodegradable scaffolding.
  • Safety: The good old fashioned gun still works. But the very best way to get out of trouble, and to prevent it in the first place is to not be around other humans at all, or at least the bad ones. So if you live in cities, then you are just asking for trouble eventually. But we still need loved ones to be comforted with which I haven't figured out a solution to have the best of both worlds on that yet.
So all together it is possible to live a wealthy lifestyle without constantly spending money forever as long as you just have a way to buy the things that save money and a way to build your own house. Which is all starting to become impossible so get going now...

Time Tempered Materials

Just have a highly charged (-/+) static field that you heat up a material in and then cool it in and when cooled it will either have a faster/ or slower rate of time relative to the outside world. Based on the amount of the charge when heating and cooling, and the polarity of the charge. Because some people theorize that the negative charge of electrons and antimatter are a sign of those particles moving backwards in time. Relative to the forward movement through time of positively charged particles. Just the chemistry of different uses of the element barium will show the effects of strange material properties(search: wiki). Even when not yet boosted with an outside electromagnetic field.
I site the July 29th 2008 press release of EEStor, the energy storage unit partner of Zenn motor co. This gotten off of wiki, which may or may not have been edited yet, and therefor may or may not be totally correct:
In addition, the July 29, 2008 press release[26] states that the plastic matrix allows for better crystal polarization and that this "along with other proprietary processing steps provides the potential of a polarization saturation voltage required by EEStor, Inc." Polarization by a strong electric field is done in the final steps of manufacturing so that the material will form domains that are oriented in the proper direction for the best permittivity and energy storage. The world patent states this is done at 180 C with 4000 V.
The patent for EESU is under google patent search EESU

Alien Abduction Phenomena (updated 1 time)

The leading reason why aliens abduct humans may be what I term "The Utopian Genetics Experiment".

-----So in the "Project Serpo" story they had a laboratory warehouse that held bodies of hybrid species that were made from human DNA (taken from a dead crew member) crossed with DNA from various other species from neighboring planets. So I'll explain how it works, and what I theorize was being done.

-----First of all, it is probably artificial evolution instead of the random slow evolution that we have on earth. They had capsules that the bodies were in while sedated and the capsules I presume had an accelerated time rate inside relative to the outside of the capsules. This is also what they use when traveling between star systems to lessen the perceived time spent on board the ship while taking the long journey.-----LATER ADDED----- I just heard my dad say that he read that humans have made custom made DNA stands from scratch, and if that is true then the utopian genetics project is a flawed explanation of the alien abduction phenomenon.
-----The process is accomplished with use of high energy static electricity that offsets the effects of physics by pushing away the positive charged particles of space time that make it move slowly, through simulated antigravity, with a negatively charged electric field to speed up the effects of time in that field relative to the outside(look to:"faster than light communication" for my theory of how time works)
-----By the way, the way that you hold a charge of such high energy, is along the same principles of how soap bubble function. Electrons adhere to metal objects and cause a bubble of charge that blocks all outside charges (i.e. capsule with a static charge adhering to it; or in other words a spaceship, with antigravity inside.). And also another side effect of antigravity is that there is no inertia inside of the bubble which makes 1000 mph 90 degree turns possible ( you have no mass and therefore no inertia).
-----(+1) static charge offset by a (-2) static charge = a(-1) overall static charge : And if that charge is high enough it may theoretically create antigravity and faster time rate inside of the (-) charge.
-----I theorize this because of the effect of a static field are so similar to the effects of a gravitational field. And it is only an assumption on my part that they are one and the same phenomena. So I may still be totally wrong.
-----But along with speeding up the process of evolution, it is a controlled evolutionary process. And you later take the newly spliced and improved genetics and add them to the next generation of your own species' offspring. (keeping the good DNA and disposing of any bad DNA). The problem that needs to be overcome here is who judges if DNA is good or bad? Or how do you know categorically if you're making good DNA decisions.(Maybe just try out the new DNA by letting the person go about living, and if it works and you like the person then he stays in society, but if it doesn't work then you may just kill the person, like how we give the death penalty to criminals, but you always have an eye on everyone, I guess).
-----So I guess when the person has a mental problem, or physical problem, or disease,etc., then you need to diagnose the problems cause(s) and then fix it by either removing it from them, or treating it, or just giving them a death sentence, and now never letting those bad genes enter the next generation again. And some species like the "Grey" reportedly have no sexual organs at all, which is good for that one being to have the rest of it's life to live without the risk of it having offspring ever(no death sentence necessary). Which is logical, but what's the back-up plan if the system fails?
So supposedly you could make a utopia this way by getting rid of the cause of all bad in your society through deductive reasoning.-
  • Crime: What causes bad people in society to have a want to kill others?- Is it insanity? Is it false logic or being a stupid follower? Is it the environment that you grew up in? Or is it a lapse of judgment or temporary insanity?
  • The solutions are get rid of the reason that is causing all of those because they probably all have caused bad people in the past. So get rid of mental illness through genetics, and get rid of the environment that causes people to turn into killers, and give people better reasoning abilities through better genetics.
-----The fact is that the universe is already a good place and you have to create bad in order to have bad in you life. Because there are artificial ways to solve ALL of the naturally bad things in the universe.
-----Example: If you took out all of the people on earth, and all that was left was you and all of the previous human technology too, then you would be in utopia, because we've already solved all of the naturally made problems on earth through technology, but since there would be no more humans to create human made problems, then the only thing left is previously human created good on the planet and you, or utopia as long as you can find a way to entertain yourself.
-----The only reason that we find the alien abductions to be traumatic and evil is that we don't understand their reasoning. And that we're actually doing the universe a favor, and that it's for the greater good even though temporarily painful.
-----Supposedly the aliens therefore have contraception so that they don't have random DNA (dangerous) children but instead the new generation is a new and improved controlled birth situation(namely no sexual organs). This is also used to control the population level of the planet so that you always have a good quality of life from less population, and more space, and less competition.
-----And the reason why there is no typical type of person that is an alien abductee , and why they come from all walks of life with no apparent mental disorder, is the rule of random sampling, and that if you want to get a wide range of DNA you don't want to just get one type of human being, you want ones from all over the world. And also, why not abduct livestock and animals too. They just give you infinitely more DNA to work with. And that's why they may never be done with abducting things, because there is never a limit to the varieties if DNA programing that you can discover and acquire.
-----Conjecture: The only thing needed to set us apart from the great apes to become the most intelligent species on the planet was maybe 10 genes or something, supplied by an alien race that was bored one day, and had nothing better to do than create us.
-----Conjecture:Another type of alien that might exist is a type that is on it's way to being angelic, or godlike that for all intents and purposes lives forever and may be made up of pure energy. Where nothing can kill them or harm them, and they can somewhat create their own reality, and maybe even able to transport or "seemingly" transport anywhere in the universe instantly, and time's speed is variable easily, since it is relative anyway.(No backward time travel though because of the laws of "cause and effect". But you can predict the future if you know nifty shortcuts to predicting things, like how we predict the weather.). Then things could be perfect for all intents and purposes except for being able to have a mate and sex, and as long as you don't become a scary angel or a demon.

The After Life (updated 2 times)

Through deductive reasoning...

-----Fact: The dead never say anything to us of any kind about the afterlife except for jibberish , or disturbing things like sounds, or images, or screams, or saying "help me".

-----Deduction: And if ghosts are able to think and are able to learn and understand and watch over us, then why don't they ever tell us anything about what the after life is like in any way?

-----Deduction: The very fact that that they never tell us about what the after life is like or even give us any facts that the afterlife exists ever(provable footage and any ghosts communication ) . Brings us to only 1 of 3 conclusions about the after life.

  1. That there either is no after life and therefore there are no voices to tell us anything and therefore all of the psychics are faking there abilities to communicate with the dead.
  2. That the after life is like limbo, and that even if there is an after life, that it is perpetual torment by being stuck in an infinite loop of pointless ghost like behavior and therefore not being able to learn that you are dead or even understand your situation while you are haunting a place.
  3. Or that there is some kind of rule in the afterlife that you're not allowed to tell the living anything about the after life, or that it even exists.
-----Deduction: The one conclusion that I can think of that applies to all 3 of those scenarios though is the message that you (NO MATTER WHAT) should only focus on this current life and reality that you are alive in, and to never base any of your living decisions on the knowledge of the after life existing or not or what it is.

-----Deduction: Which means that we can therefore now throw out all religious concepts of death and therefore by association most of there scriptures . Because in any of the 3 scenarios, if they won't tell us about the after life now, then they never would have told us about it in the first place. (The hearing of voices in the bible and seeing things could have easily been schizophrenia) . And already we have disprooven most of the stories in the bible such as Noah's arch ( as in carrying billions of species on one boat / and the flood) , and the Adam and Eve story ( being 10,000 years ago and having only boys for children) . And the baby Jesus could have just been a virgin getting pregnant in a one night stand. And how we can use our own good judgment to be just as good as Jesus by just saying, "do unto others as you would do unto thyself"(the same philosophy as libertarians , and the only useful phrase I've seen in the bible so far).

-----Final Useful Conclusion: Is that it now makes sense that all religions were created to control other humans. And has been the main reason to go to war, other than warring over land. And that it is extremely effective tool for war mongers ( thirsty for power) to use religion to build up a sizable army and use holy war or any nonsense religious reason to get the people to fight for them, or to give them money for their cause.

-----I heard once from the writer of "god is not great" that using your own conscience you can be just as good as Jesus in your own actions even if you don't have the superpowers. And another way of looking at the story of jesus is the same as the story of micro electronics : In that people now have added to and contorted the story of the electronics industry and how it started to the point now that only a few people are still around that actually remember what happened. But now there are lots of conspiracy theorists that are wrongfully making up stories about how it was a technology that was given to us by aliens. Well that's all bull because my dad was actually in the electronics industry as it was inventing the integrated circuit.
-----So with that little anecdote you can see how the story of Jesus could have been the same conspiracy theories that were elaborated upon over the years

-----LATER ADDED----- Ghosts cannot interact with humans by either touch or communication for the reason that they would have gone after "Osama" or other brutal leaders long ago or at least told us where or how to get them."Dead men tell no tales". And The Great Hoodini said that he would try his hardest to send a message from the afterlife but never did.
Death is most likely just a turning off of the brain in the same way as we turn off a computer every day and that there is no afterlife but only nothingness. You can experience the same thing as death if you are under heavy sedation, all of your brain functions stop for a while and you don't remember a thing. The only way that religious leaders can get you to fight in there wars is for there to be an afterlife( which they had to make up) which accounts for all of the different afterlife's of each religion and the completely unscientific basis and why they are proovably wrong in most respects.
-----If utopia is possible on earth, then heaven is redundant. Utopia may be having all of your needs met such as:
  • By having a food source (farm)/
  • energy source(solar) /
  • an electric car(ac induction motor/ nanotube lithium-ion battery or super capacitor)(charge it up like a cell phone at the end of every day)(and maybe get an electric bike that use for getting around town that charge at night and rent a car for long trips)
  • free housing(build own cob house)/
  • and being entertained
  • and not worrying about crime( nobody around to bother you) /
  • and having medical when need it( electron beam tomography scanner) and cancer cure(microwave/nanospheres/introns) and heart disease cure and genetic age breakdown cure.
-----Which I think is all possible with todays technology. Then in that case heaven would be redundant, and unneeded. And hell is already redundant and easy to create on earth with torture and prisons and slavery, and it still isn't a deterrent to criminals because they know they're going to jail(simulated hell) but they do it anyway.
-----And living in an after life with no cause and effect such as heaven wouldn't make sense logically and would lack all fun or excitement that adventure and self confidence in taking care of your own life can bring.
-----So to explain strange occurrences in haunted houses it might be that they are imprints of some kind on an environment from long periods of interaction in old structures( in the same way as rubbing metal against a magnet magnetizes the metal) and there may be spirit-like entities that are not human at all.
-----Research:"The art of war" I heard that it says that there is finite resources and that people fight to get the biggest cut of the pie, even though you can only use one house at a time, and use one car at a time, and where only a few clothes at a time. Which is why I've never understood the need for more than you can use(I only want 1 million $ total to live a good life and to help others be able to)

Becoming Rich From Nothing Theory

  1. First step is to buy the cheapest household item that is most effective at cutting expenses from bills at the end of the month.
  2. Second is with the money that you are saving at the end of each month, you buy the 2nd cheapest item that will save the second most money at the end of the month.
  3. 3rd just continue doing the same until you have all of the items possible that can save any money at all at the end of the month.
  4. 4th , with all of the money that you are saving at the end of each month you can now save it and put it into an interest earning account and that can pay for all of the other monthly bills that are monopolies (like phone bill and taxes) or that are manufactured items that need replacing(such as light bulbs /paper products /flash memory cards)
  5. 5th is now that you are saving 100% of the money that you earn each month you can finally invest it by buying a product and renting it out or buying a product that you can start some other buisiness with. Or you can just put it all into another interest earning account and never work again, wich would be my route.
  6. This all only works though if you have a steady reliable source of income. That can afford to invest in money saving items at all.

equation: cost to buy/amount saved per month

The only way that anyone ever got rich in the beginning was ownership of an item that nobody else could own, by either not being as lucky as you to have found the item or to have been able to afford it or to have been in the correct geographical location or to have been lucky enough to have thought of the business idea first.

So in the end to become rich you need to have 1 in a million luck or intelligence, and have the right to do whatever you want with the items you own(monopolies). Luck and ownership.

LATER ADDED: The best way to get rich is to buy a house and rent it out if you are living elsewhere. This creates equity. But to really live a wealthy lifestyle you need cash flow so that you can take out a loan on a bigger house with.
You can also buy a house to live in and then when you get equity in it, you can use that equity to move into another house that is a fixer upper, and then bring up to market value and then sell, and then get a bigger house that is under market value and refurbish it. And this is what is called the property ladder, and you will in theory eventually have a million$ house.

Coming Soon To My Blog

  • how the the project serpo closed energy device operates and what make it theoretically possible yet unobtainable with current manufacturing techniques.
  • THE BIG ONE: which is the actual reasoning behind the entire alien abduction phenomenon and why it's not a threat unless the decide that they're done with us some day and have bread out their respect of intelligent life, and end up destoying us to make sure that we're never a threat. (If we stay unpredictable and violent, as we are, but also aquire space travel tech)
  • I might just release how all of my inventions work so that people will know them. Then I can do what I actually find fun wich is to live in the middle of nowhere with no evil causing humans and build my house and calling it a treehouse or a campsite to not spend forever learning all of the beauracracy in order to build a very simple house without the insurance of it actually happening even.
  • Time memory tempered materials theory
  • my comic book called"Where's Utopia?" which is sort of funny
  • and much more that I can't remember now

More: Super Communicator : UPDATED 3 TIMES

AKA:low signal loss(frictionless) communicator
High voltage effect:

Use the Equation: WATT/AMP=VOLT
If you measure the AMPS in a cross section of the thick part of wire and compare it with the AMPS in the cross section of the thin part of wire. Then you will find that in the thin part of wire there is a HIGHER AMPS PER /WIDTH OF CONDUCTOR which will induce lower VOLTAGE to maintain the same WATTAGE. And in turn the lOWER AMPERAGE PER/ WIDTH OF CONDUCTOR of the thick part of wire you will have a higher VOLTAGE induced to maintain the same WATTAGE along the width of the wire.
So along the length of the wire there is no voltage change but along the width if the wire there is. And the electromagnetic flux produced reflects that fact.
LATER ADDED: Instead of alternating current this is an alternating voltage circuit. Which may or may not be able to transmit a carrier wave just as well as an AC carrier wave.
Super high frequency effect: As electrons pass by each bulge in the wire, in a row, the electrons across the bulge produce a high voltage electromagnetic wave and then the electron moves forward to the next bulge in the wire, and produces a second high voltage wave in the series, and you are effectively making an ultra high frequency radio wave which is probably even higher than the frequency of light. But the high voltage is what makes the low attenuation possible(voltage being the force behind the signal).LATER ADDED: To amend this paragraph, different frequencies go through different substances with different levels of attenuation. And I am not sure if high voltage even has an effect on the attenuation of the signal.
Frequency cancellation effect: When the peaks and valleys of a separate frequency than the frequency of the wire bulges, enters the wire, the peak of that frequency will induce a current on the first bulge, but because it isn't the same frequency as the wire bulges, an opposite polarity will be induced on the next bulge before the current from the first bulge reaches the next bulge. And the valleys of the signal frequency will cancel itself out by 2 opposing currents equaling zero current. Instead of adding to the signal strength on the next bulge, which only the correct frequency can do.
Also: You may need a diode in the wire for one direction of current flow, and as a high frequency filter(or RC constant) . But it may or may not be needed, because your ear can't hear that high of a frequency anyway.
---------------------------------
I was recently informed by Roy that the voltage along a wire is determined by the resistance or the current , so the voltage is constant along the wire. And you cannot increase the voltage along the wire. And I agree. But I say that a thickening of a wire will cause the electromagnetic flux's voltage to be boosted, so that along the wire the voltage is the same but cutting across the thickness of the wire the voltage would be boosted. Meaning higher voltage radio signals even though the circuit's voltage, itself, remains unchanged along the length of the wire.
This is the same principle that transformers use, but they use large coils wound around an iron core. But the new thick wire transformer uses the same amount of copper as a spool of wire does, except you don't have to wind it and it's easier to make a secondary circuit,only meaning that now you have a high voltage low amperage electromagnetic flux radio signal, instead of the high amperage version of using a conventional copper spool around a core.
The only problem that needs to be addressed is that the signal out of the thick wire would be extremely weak even if it was a zero loss signal. So some how you need to either send it at higher wattage or boost it to higher wattage when you receive it to make an audible sound in your communicator. But if you found a way to have a powerful signal without the use of a battery that would be the best case scenario.
Later added: To boost the signal strength in order for the signal to travel farther and also for the sound to be louder on the receiving end, just have a longer spool of "bumpy wire"(wire that is variably thick and thin in diameter, along it's length, at set intervals, for a set frequency). This in effect would be the same as having a bigger antenna. Or how they make radios without batteries by just having a long spool of wire as the antenna and also power supply
I heard once that at high frequencies the body acts as a resistor to the flow of electricity and so cannot get shocked no matter how high the amperage and voltage. This may or may not be a fact, but if it is a proven fact, and is true for electricity, would it be also true for electromagnetic waves at high frequency? Because if the opposite is true of there being no resistance at high frequencies of radio waves, zero attenuation signal transmission.
(LATER ADDED): Sort of in the same way as how 2 air particles split in 2 directions as they flow around a wing but they both enter at the same time and must also exit at the same time. Which means that if you have spread out particles on the top half of wing then you have lower pressure on that side.
(SIDE NOTE)The Equation of flight: Time/ Distance=Air pressure
Where Time: is the particles must end at the same exact place that they began after passing the wing
Where Distance: That the particles travel is determined by the shape of the wing
Where air pressure: Is the lifting force of the wing.

The best solar composter / pasteurizer toilet design so far

To meet the composting parameters ,as described on the website that I provided a link for, this is the design I came up with. The requirements were:
  1. Proper aeration: Solar powered wind tube(hot air flows upward is why it works and you only need to have higher heat on one side of the tube, relative to the low heat side of tube.
  2. Proper carbon/nitrogen ratio (just add paper plates from dishes or found sawdust or tp or other carbon material . If there is any odor you add just enough carbon and any odor will go away)
  3. Moisture- Need the mixture to always be 50% water wich the washlet should provide(need to add actual water not extra urine).
  4. Heat- provided by incoming then stored solar radiation(add mirrors for more heat or increase the ratio of solar collecting area to the compost chamber sizes)

But remember to have a thermometer and moisture indicator inside the box where you can see it (on the window side) to always be able to monitor proper functioning.

LATER ADDED: I have since chosen chemical toilets that are environmentally friendly like chlorine as an all around better option in simplicity and effectiveness as long as the chemicals kill all of the harmful bacteria, and then bury. Because just like heat kills most biological organisms there are toxic chemicals that don't occur naturally that perform the same task. And may even work better and require less energy or oversight. And chemicals are also foolproof. And are safe if you use them correctly (it's hard not to with chlorine/alcohol).

Let the chlorine evaporate before burying the waste

Current Projects : 6/22/07

Electron device-I still need to test a home made capacitor, after I build one. But I think I need a low loss in conversion high voltage power source. There is no loss after it is operational but I just need to find an efficient high voltage (low amperage)energy source. But it's kind of on the back burner because it's not necessarily needed for me to build a working house. But it would be the most fun device ever created if it actually worked.

Light storage device- It's on the back burner now as money is tight and am preparing for the move and don't find it fun to make it big with an invention. Instead I just want to live a good life with my self made, money saving, house. And I also like being under the radar. Inventing something, no matter how helpfull to humanity, would make me conspicuous and that's the one thing that I don't like.

House design is what I think about all the time now and also moving wich will be a better life than living in Seattle

The ground breaking website also has to wait until after the move because it has to be stationed somewhere. And for some reason nobody wants to do the idea and become a millionaire even though all the people I've told, say it's the best idea they've ever heard . But I'm going to make it happen somehow because it is such a fun idea, and it would almost be a public service in how it would save people all there money on entertainment. I think the idea is "ultimate fun production distilled into perfect awsomeness"

Happy thought theory

Only think about or focus on what you like every second of every day, and only work towards and think about, the end goal no matter what is involved.--- But at the same time, do all of the stuff that you don't like to do, but you need to do to survive. But even though you're continuously doing an amazing amount of work that you don't like at all, you don't even notice it because you're not thinking about it. Instead you're still thinking about your good thought like a daydream, and performing unwanted tasks automatically. And all of your focus or emotion goes toward the good thought, and all of the stuff you don't want to do, gets done, and passes by without notice, like an autonomic function, in the same way that we don't notice ourselves breathing all the time but it happens anyway.

So something that would be nice is if we all had some kind of reminder system, that makes you do unwanted things automatically, without even thinking about getting ready to do it. Because you never really want to think about things that you don't like doing, so instead the reminder thinks about it for you. And you do the unwanted thing like any other chore, minus paying attention to it.

Narcesism: is when you constantly need other peoples reasurance to justify your life. And you need outside opinion for everything that you do. Narcesism is a real mental illness. But I think that it's a state of mind and not a permanent feature of anyone personality. So don't be a narcesist!

As long as you can enjoy fun things as they happen then you're one of the happiest people on earth.(see: "If the meaning of life is fun , then what's fun?").

Good thoughts are: Well designed things, a fun life, or the end goal that you want to reach then live in, someday.

Why making my own house is my goal

  1. I plan to get rich off of saving money on everything because a penny saved it exactly the same as a penny earned. And if I save 100% of my income, then I'd be effectively making double the amount of money I am making now. The reason that I want extra money is because the good thing about being rich is having the ability to experience anything in this world that you want, and as long as you can enjoy it, then you're the best off, in life.
  2. I can get rich other ways that I know all about, but this is the only way that I find the most enjoyment in. And you should always do what makes you happy, and in the best financial position possible, because you don't want to waste your entire life doing something you don't like just for money, then someday looking at a wasted life.( look to: "if meaning is fun then what is fun" : idea).
  3. It's also the easiest option to getting rich . Because it requires the same amouont of research /and risk/ and paperwork as "flipping houses". But it would never take as long as working a 40 hour a week job for 30 years to build an adobe house(instead "Dick Proeneke" built his log cabin from scratch in 2 weeks)(see:"Alone in the wilderness")(also see:"One man's wilderness : an alaskan odyssey"). And with all the extra time and money left over for the rest of my life, I can do what I enjoy doing with no obligations to speak of.

Is stem cell research unethical

I just posted a pole about this question on http://www.misterpoll.com/971725296.html to see what we all think and see if the president is full of hot air or if we are objectable to the idea. The reason is that, he may be haulting science for personal gain of some sort that we don't know about. And I'm all for science as you know. So we'll see...

Wattage/Voltage/Amperage calculator

This simple formula is used to figure out the amount of solar power needed from solar cells to supply an entire household-

Wattage=Voltage X Amperage ---or the proffesional notation of--- P=EI

Where : P= power
E=potential difference in Volts
I=is the current in Amperes

or- Wattage/Amps= Volts
or- Wattage/Volts= Amps

Then there is Watt hours wich is just amps (that is used by device) (x) the voltage used by the same device (x) the # of ours the same device was used . Kilowatt hour is 1,000 Watts. And 1 Horsepower(hp)= 746 Watts

And to get the totel household power needs you just add the Watt/Hours frome each device together for the household for the total power usage for a given period in time.

And to find out the size of the solar array that you need, you have to know the total expected power usage on the worst day for solar energy production, and include the amount of time during the night that there is no energy pruduction.

Bringing House Design: Up to code

In other words following "Building Code".

When applying for a building permit(assuming that's how it works where you live) you must demonstrate how you meet each "building code objective". This is my initial understanding so far.
  1. Structural code- Have a test model house to make sure it han handle any internal or external applied forces.
  2. Fire safety code- Have metal staircase exit route, smoke detectors, fire extinguisher, low foliage around house to prevent spread of any fire into or out of property, and to prevent spread of fire inside of building, you may install sprinklers, or just have the same prevention as normal houses do.
  3. Health code- Adequate plumbing- Have a big enough solar composter, and monitor the temperature of it regularly to make sure it's effective at producing high temps. Also have a "portapotty" until the solar comoster is operational , both before and after the construction of it, while testing. ----- Air circulation- Have a window or vents in the underground portion of the house (window is more conventional, and provides light, and can be used as fire escapes). For quality of the air have no building materials that can cause polutants. Or have an air filter. But when dusting the house you don't want to breath in the dusty air(wear mask for manual dusting, or exit the house while fans blow the dust out).
  4. Electrical code- If every item in the house was low voltage, then you wouldn't need any electrical code. But also if every elecrical part is premade you don't need to worry about following code----- Items using electricity are...(1)Low power flourescent lightbulbs,(2) Solar powered lithium-ion lawnmowers,(3) Cell phone, (4)Car- ,(5)Heating,(6) Swivel sweeper is battery powered, (7) Water pump, (8)Instant water heaters,(9)Barbecue or oven/stove,(10) Computer,(11)TV,(12)Washer dryer(13) Fridge-----Most of these use small amounts of power or easilly use solar so it should be extremely easy to run solar power to an inverter and then run extention cords from the sockets in the inverter to a convenient place along a wall for regular 120v. So it's inconvenient to only use varrying/ separate/ self charging small voltages.

Self-Built House design : 6/19/07 (THE OLD VERSION)



(click on image to open in new window- or copy it to a picture program and look at it there)

This is a picture of the mostly complete house design.

-----(LATER ADDED)----- In this design the only things about the house that I have recently changed are, the shape of the house, and now it is no longer half underground, and the material used for the interior of the walls is now rammed earth, and now new printed solar panels are the power source. And to camp out at the building site use the technology discussed on "Complete forest survival supply list"

Solar Power System Diagram

(click on pic to open in new window - or copy into your own picture program and view there)

LATER ADDED: This system needs a diode to not discharge the batteries when it is dark(as recommended by some solar panel specifications) Also use non lead acid based storage batteries(2)x6Volt batteries =12Volts. Also always charge batteries in series because of the scenario where one battery is done charging and the other continues to take the full current. Otherwise just have the correct solar panel for the voltage and max current charging rating of the battery.
This is a power system setup using solar cells. The solar cell act as a diode so there's no reverse flow of energy. The inverter acts as the resistor to not over discharge the batteries. But now that I think of it, if you had the solar panels at 24 volt output exactly, then the batteries would never over charge because the energy would stop flow at 24 volts. So that would actually be the "plug and play system" that wouldn't need supervision. And may never break. If I did foresee all the variables in this design.

Prediction :6/17/07

We will all need to find an alternative to gas powered cars in the next year or 2 by ourselves and not wait for companies to find a totally new technology in 1-2 years. Because I just heard a financial expert on TV yesterday say how gas will only go up to 6$/gal before it starts coming down again. And the reasoning behind this is that they haven't found a major oil feild in 20 years or so(accept the sand absorbed oil feilds)and that the demand will still be there always and the consumption might even grow in a couple of years from more population, not to mention dwindling gas resources. So my suggestion is a small deisel powered vehicle like a motorcycle even though motorcycles are dangerous if they can get off balance by running over just about anything, and they also aren't good for use in the rain. But anyways just a small deisel vehicle and may have 2 vehicles - 1 for rainy days and hauling stuff and 1 for most trips into town that uses less gas. And may even need to make own deisel fuel. But I don't know how to do that, even though it is possible .

Prediction : 6/16/07

-----From war ,and the killing of many more good people than bad people(our finest sent to war and 10 of them killed for every 1 enemy/ and also the genocide of good people but never genocide of bad people), and also the accidental killing of smart people by stupid people(drunk drivers, causing or spreading illness supposedly on accident, infinite more) before the good and smart people are able to have kids. Will supposedly cause the entire human race to breed with more stupid and evil people creating through natural selection(even if technically called survival of the fittest) a human race far worse than it is now already,over time. And any population increase will make life on earth that much more catastrophically worse. And also religious people and just ignorant people have way too many kids (4 for every 2 parents) creating a situation where the people who don't want over population (the logical thought)and only want 2 kids are the minority. And they ruin the future generations lives by creating too much demand and not enough supply including the supply of land leading to more war over space and money to just live a semi-decent life. Not to mention that eventually there will be birth restrictions like in Japan for 1 child per every 2 parents. So then couples are angry from not engaging in "congress" anymore.

If the meaning of life is fun, then what's fun?

Reality is probably just working at surviving, no matter how you look at it, and no matter how easy or hard it is for you in particular to survive.
-----So there is no other point to life really other than surviving. Your job keeps you occupied to make money to survive. You date people to prolong the species. You eat food to survive. We explore the world or anything for no particular reason , maybe to stay sane, but mostly to either make a home somewhere else or to experience new things to keep our brain active and healthy.
------ If all human inventions have been made to make life easier. And when life is easier you have extra time on your hands. Then what do you do with all the extra time that you have? Have fun, probably.

------But your personal reality or life is determined to you by these factors:

  1. What you have available to percieve
  2. What you allow or don't allow yourself to percieve, and
  3. How your brain interprets what you are percieving
  4. And all of the above perceptions, are given to you by your senses/feelings however strong they are

-----For instance, an example of #1 is if you are rich you have more options or parts of life on earth to experience. But if you grew up rich then your perception of all of your extraordinary experiences would be mundane or even boring because you grew up with it your whole life and desensitized to it. But also if you were put into a poor persons shoes after being rich your whole life it would be the worst experience ever. for you even though it's normal for everybody else.
-----An example of #3 would be if you find looking at or being with the opposite sex fun, then your perception(senses) of them is thought in your brain as good or fun( based on the gene programs that created your brain, most likely). But the same perception (senses) of the same situation by a person without an interest in the opposite sex, would see the situation as normal or not fun based on how there brain, in particular, interprets the perceptions-----Also if you present yourself as a good perception(being clean/ put together) to someone you like, then it will be more likely that they will find it fun to look at or be around you. which there are some pipe dreamers that say that they will only clean up there act after they're already in a relationship
-----An example of #2 and more is-If you get rid of all human created bad from your life, but still keep all human created good, then you would be choosing to only percieve good things, and if you could also find those things fun, by the way your brain is interpreting the perceptions(senses) (example of #3). And if you had all earthly desires and could afford to experience all aspects of life, either through new technologies or homemade utopia, or by having the money to(example of #1). Then you would effectively be the happiest person on earth. But , I guess in the end, there would still be no meaning other than survival
-----I guess there's having the opportunity to be happy, and then there's actually feeling happy or having fun. And being able to sustain it for the rest of your life.

House Design :6/14/07

This information is now outdated and more effective technologies have been found in more recent posts.
  • By keeping only human created good in your life- The design for that lifestyle is as follows:
  • The Premice: All functions of this life style including all supplies(materials, energy, work)should...
  • 1.Be done with 0.00 work, so that they make themselves and you don't have to work
  • 2.They should be solid state devices, or cannot possibly ever break(low maintenance)
  • 3.And the devices should be easilly constructed from common materials, without having to buy them from a factory (wherever possible, at least)
  • 4.But if do buy from a factory, it should be inexpensive------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • Cooking-(requires power)/Dishes/Fridge(requires power)- 1 option is to have a Microwave/Convection/Bake oven, all in one unit, to consolidate all functions of cooking(the drawbacks are: cooking many different items at once)and have an infra red cooktop for easy to clean stove-----The 2nd option, is for the least maintenance possible,and is to have an outdoor infra red barbecue, that is powered by solar cells,(or newer power system) and for cold days you'd have an outdoor heater beside the barbecue,----- And for pots and pans, if you didn't even clean them except rinse them off, and then you heated them on the barbecue, they would be disinfected thru "pasturization" and there would be effectively no need for cleaning of the pots / pans, except for rinsing the bulk of the dirt off-----And for dishes you would have paper plates, and paper cups, and metal utencils, and clean the utensils w/ soap, and with clean/ filtered / boiled water. This way you buy the paper plates, and cups instead of buying, water/ energy/soap, for a dishwasher. And to get rid of the plates and cups, either burn them, or put them in a compost pile, that could use the extra carbon content-----And for keeping leftovers, or crop overrun, and cold drinks, and ice, you may want a fridge, that is run off of solar power. But in some cultures, in warm climates, they just always pick fresh produce from their property, and eat meat from a barbecue party of some sort, every sunday, with no leftovers.
  • Water heater(requires power)/Clothes Washer/Dryer- For hot water use an "instant tankless water heater". Where using the hot water is then the lowest energy use possible by the water heater only heating the water on-demand. And for more hot water flow at a time just connect 2 instant water heaters in series, this also saves on the space taken up from the conventional storage tank water heaters; The cost of an instant tankless water heater is $180-$400 now, electric powered is best(for least up keep/danger)-----For washer and dryer you may choose a washer dryer combo unit that saves on space and energy and water. But there is an inventive solution that may get rid of the Washer/Dryer all together- If you made a shirt out of a material that was stretchy, or strong, and never ripped(maybe kevlar), and it also didn't absorb dirt, but was still a breathable fabric- Then you could put the shirt over a shirt shaped panel, or mesh, and clean it with an Alcohol/ Perfume mix and wipe off the dirt with a brush or another cloth . ----- The alcohol acts as a disinfect, and as a mild solvent, loosening the dirt. And the perfume is to get rid of any odor. And the brush is to loosen and take off the dirt. But supposedly with this system you wouldn't require the massive amounts of water and your cleaning would be done in 10 minutes instead of 2 hours, and it would dry instantly requiring no "high electricity using" dryer. And also there would be space saving, and the soap buying costs would be replaced with alcohol/ scent buying cost.----- The one drawback other than slight work is of washing blankets, or other thick clothe, used for insulating properties usually. So you may want a washer around just in case of emergency anyway, or go to the cleaners, wich is what you do with expensive quilts anyway.
  • Supplies(have to pay)- for sure will need laundry soap or alcohol/ dish soap, bar soap, shampoo, chemicals(vinegar, alcohol,etc., all nontoxic though) toothpaste, deodorant, clothes, haircut, and paper plates/bowls/cups- I always find that with all of these supplies the cheaper it is, the better the quality of the product all around, or the better bang for your buck( for the reason that they're all only simple/ common/ known chemical formulas that you can't improove on)----- Now for the other supplies of daily life I will explain why they may not be needed------Light bulbs- May not need if my light collection device works otherwise use flouresent and only replace once in 2 or more years -10$/year.-----Entertainment- You may be able to buy a dvd or a comic or a game used and then sell it right after done using it on ebay, or trade with friends. Otherwise, seeing movies in theatres is an expence that, if you like doing that, is -10$+/mo-----Foil/Wrap- May use hardly any if you use sturdy tupperware-5$/year-----TP- if you had a washing toilet with a washlet then you could make your own toilet paper if you made your own water, and used that instead- Warm water line would be supplied by the tankless waterheater/ and a cold water line also would be connected, both under a certain pressure each- cost of one of these seats is 180$ and up but lasts forever and self cleaning parts(but you want household cleaners just in case)-cost= maybe 0.00 if self sufficient system-----Trash Bags- You don't need them if you don't produce solid waste( or for the little that you do produce use grocery bags as trash bags)cost=0.00-----Paper Towels -You don't need to buy if you use rags(lots of them for different purposes and rotation of use)- Otherwise use paper towels if they're cheap, or you can afford it, because they're biodegradable or burnable and are less work to use- Cost maybe at 3 rolls in 2/3 of a year is about 4$/year-----Stationary- Instead may use pda with flash card storage or computer with cd storage(always have back-up disks or files)----- Laundry sheets and Soap- May not be needed if you use the inventive idea mentioned above- cost= maybe 0.00-----DVD+R(W)-You may want these, if you're not a minimalist-cost= 20$/year(always buy the good brand or will get corrupted dvd's- go to radioshack)-----Boxes- Just buy them when you move 20$/year(get rid of all the stuff that you haven't used in a year, and is in storage-sell stuff on ebay instead of a garage sale)-----In all, my estimate for my supply budget is about 10$/mo +/- 5$/mo .
  • Phone(have to pay)- Get a cell phone that never breaks and gets power from radio waves or just charge at night if not self charging in some way like having a solar cell charged battery that you hook up to at night. But either way you need to pay a phone bill from it being a monopoly, so 20$-40$/mo .
  • Calendar/Datebook/Phone#'s/Address book- May use pda with flash memory and have a backup card for Important paper work- Then keep in a lockbox and hidden(beauracracy is a human made problem, so far, and if you have ID theft then it's not even a sure thing) .
  • Tools/ Supplies/ Experiments- As humans we always need to alter our environment so it's important to have all the tools needed and supplies needed. So have consolidated into one box unless they're big tools .
  • Car(requires power)- in the perfect world we should all be flying: easy to use ultralite helicopters; for the reasons of not needing to maintain and expand roads with taxes, using up valuable land and also wasting time in traffic, and also you would have access to anywhere no matter how remote. Supposedly if my electron device works it will make this and all other things possible----- Well other than that the best car out there is the "Tesla Roadster" wich performs just as good as a high end sports car without a single one of the drawbacks and if you want to travel long distance it will go 250 miles on one charge, wich, I travel, and know that 200 miles is driving from when you wake up to when you make a hotel reservation. So then charge it at night for 4 hrs like a cell phone and leave the next day .
  • Lawn mower- the best design I think is an electric/ lithium-ion battery mower that I guess can last for as long as a maybe .2 acre yard. Other options are for less work are, a ride on lawnmower. Or don't have a grass yard, like people in desert areas(less watering and mowing).
  • Lighting(may need power)-My light capture device LATER ADDED: The light capture device isn't feasible, instead you may just amplify a light source with a good length of "erbium" doped fiber optic cables: Which is easily tested(20$ for fiber optics and an LED for 3$) But cost effectiveness and the particular wavelength of light may not make it a salable invention, or solar power system, with flouresent bulbs.
  • Heating(may need power)/Cooling- In a cave it's a constant 45 degrees all year round so I propose having the same insulation for a house, by making the house out of old fashioned "Adobe"bricks and Stucko(stucko is to weather proof). And have half of the house be underground, and then may only need warm clothes when it's cold, and a "heated top"(see below) chimney could circulate air thru the house on a hot day----- And if that doesn't work then have an electric space heater when it's cold, and have a chimney air circulator when it's hot, instead of a fan, and then just go to the underground portion of the house when it's hot also.
  • Cleaning- Dusting-Waft dust in the air with a duster and let the chimney (heated top is the low pressure, and an open window is the high pressure creating draft) suck the dusty air out of the house----- Sweeping/Vacuuming - always have wood floors and wear socks- because carpets are a human made problem that only creates dust and has to be replaced and serves no actual realistic purpose- And have a swivel sweeper wich uses battery power, and if it actually has suction power, then it is the best designed vacuum cleaner ever created(as long as it is also fixable, or doesn't even need maintanence)----- Disinfection/Deep Cleaning-Use the cheap household chemicals described in "Haileys Hints"-water softener/cream of tarter/ amonia/ white vinegar/ hydrogen peroxide/(white)toothpaste/hair spray/ bar of soap/ rubbing alcohol/ always cold water-But you mostly only need these if you still always need to clean, wich would be if you had the old fashioned type cooktops, or dishes, or old type toilets, wich may be possible to eliminate. But shower and sink you still have to have, and clean .
  • Food/ Fruit/ Veggie/Herb/ Meat-Meat you can trap, or hunt, or fish for, if you don't have to live in the city-----Fruit/ Veggie/ Herb-Would be grown at home, and traded with neighbors, then stored in freezer----- Dairy/ Wine/ Chocolate'and other rare items that are also bad for you, are all put together in various ways, to make all of your different food needs .
  • Water(requires power)-Fresh water may be from a water producing plant like vines (grapes) or fruit juice. And to water plants in a drought, you would just have a storm water collection pond of semiclean water, and then water the plants with that, using an electric pump, or down hill flow, to the plants through an automatic sprinkler system(wich is pretty straight forward to set up). Clean water can also be made with a polyethelene terephthalate bottle put in the sun for 6 hours until it reaches a temperature of, I think, 160 degrees, for 30 minutes at least, but if you get it wrong it could be dangerous, so look it up on the internet. But the most straight forward way to make clean drinking water, is to boil rain water on a stove of some kind, and then filter it through a "Britta" water filter(wich has a charcoal filter)for better taste----- Otherwise, for all other water needs, either use a slow sand filter, or a normal pool filter, and then maybe add clourine pool tablets also(if slow sand filter didn't dissinfect it), and you can use that water for the majority of household needs (shower- and toilet). And for sink water, or for totaly disinfected water, you should boil water and then keep it in a clean (plastic) tank, of some kind.

House Design: 6/14/07- 6/22/07 (Part 2)

This information is now outdated and more effective technologies have been found in more recent posts.
  • (continued)
  • --Grey water/ Sewer/ Toiletry/ Shower- Can't have just a hole in the ground unless up north where there is permafrost because it attracts flies and has odor. So instead have a solar composter wich is is just a 1M cubed box sealed shut with a door for removal of pan with a slanted windowed side facing south one half outside and one half inside the bathroom. And instide the box is a screen to hold solids and a pan underneath to hold ashes after the compost has decomposed. The sides are made of adobe(for good insulation) and has a thick wooden top that attach the washing toilet seat to, and when not in use have an air tight seal on the hole----- Any liquid should evaporate or be needed for decomposition or be pasturised. Pasturisation is the main factor in the decontamination and again it needs to get to 200 degrees or a little less on a regular basis. Best composting is done when the carbon/ nitrogen ratio is correct so if you need more wood pulp in the pile put paper plates or cups or kitchen scraps into the pile wich is in the solar composter toilet. May also add lime for more acidity to kill bacteria faster. ----- For grey water wich is just less dirty or less hazerdous water you just pump or divert that water to non edible plants on property. This is the water that comes from shower, but sink water with food particals is considered dangerous water so that should go to compost pile, if it really matters, because gardens have rotting food as fertilizer all the time.----- Washing toilets cost 80$ for cheapest and 400$ for most expensive.----- For the water supply for the shower in bathroom you may have a tank above the ceiling that collects rainwater and filters it with a "slow sand filter" but this water may not be totally disinfected, so if that is necessary then have 2 containers of water on rotation that you boil above the roof or have a clourine tablet wich is what they already use in our public water supplies(clourine, not tablet form) and it's what we use in our pools and is safe to shower in as long as filtered when collected to get rid of any particulates before hand. So just learn how they construct safe backyard pools for homes.----- Also to heat the shower use the instant tankless water heater.
  • Grey water(contd)(added:6/22/07)- For safe grey water as it leaves the house to nonedible plants on the property, you just need to have some chlorine added to the water with pool tablets. Either still in the water from before use, or after the water is used, from a pool tablet chamber, before the water reaches the plants. It can't possibly have more contaminated water than a busy pool has. Just make sure that the plants can handle the chlorine.
  • Clothes (cont'd) ( costs 100$/year)- I left out that if you want regular clothes instead of the inventive new clothes idea , just shop on the "day after thanksgiving sale" for them when it's always 50% off, and stock up then for the rest of the year.
  • Internet(10$/mo or less)/ computer/ entertainment(maybe 30$/mo to 0.00$)- use comunity internet hotspots wich seattle is now putting everywhere. Or instead of internet, if you don't need to buy or sell things off of it all the time, just have a flash memory drive that stores an encyclopedic, all knowing, memory bank of all previous human knowledge. May get encyclopedia cd's or download wikipedia somehow. And connect to the computer for stored info or video games with a projection keyboard, and use wifi connection for external attachments and for a screen use a projection screen on a white wall as the least energy consuming / lite weight/ and small space tech there is. Also have your dvd player or videogame system hooked up to the tv with wifi connections to easilly move around your equipment.----- And for total immersion theatre or gaming have a set of goggles that play whatever is sent into the goggles thru wifi. -----For dvd collection only have 1 dvd and trade it as many times a week that you watch a new show / same with comics or books or games. Sort of like how libraries function. For the cable option, you can buy it if you're stuck at home all day, or if it's one of the only bills that you have to pay, or if you can easilly afford it .
  • Actual bill payment/Job- If you could save up enough you could have all your small bills paid by an interest earning account like a CD or moneymarket account at a stockbroker(better % paid/year than a bank)- May only need to work a small amount in the future if lots of your bills are taken away if the energy crisis is solved and you use some of these ideas, and only buy items that never need to be replaced or repaired.
  • Medical/ Perscribtion- Having insurance is the only way now, but universal healthcare may happen here some day like it did in Europe, wich I think should be the average illness rate of americas medical bills/mo, divided by everybody, is the amount you have to pay each month in the event that you need serious medical treatment some day( average out what the average person pays on average for medical in their entire life and pay the monthly amount of that each month , minus administration fees of course). LATER ADDED: Universal health care may create socialism here in America if we have to eat and do what they say to stay healthy.
  • Pet- I say, just get a Nintendo DS game "dogs" or "cats" and leave it at that, otherwise you'll be paying for the pet for the rest of it's life, and also its medical bills.
  • Crime- A novel approach would be to have an emergency help beacon on everyones person at all times or also connected to vital functions(maybe with blackbox info), I describe a device that can send a signal thru any barrier in a previous post, wich may or may not work but the idea would probably solve crime if the criminal knew that they would most certainly be a dead man if they killed someone in the woods.LATER ADDED: The super communicator is extremely theoretical and instead look to RFID chips with a large transmitter to be the best chance of an emergency help beacon.
  • Actual House Building Plan- Make it out of adobe bricks, or rammed earth, or cob, in a thickness of 12in.-14in.'s thick, for best heat retention, or put glass over structure for more heat. Dig a hole in the ground the size of a room and put alluminum poles in the ground and along the sidesof pit, bent high above to make an upper domed room. Put a solid wooden floor on ground level with hole cut into it for access to the bottom room. Put chicken wire all along the exterior and interior of the alluminum frame and also so that it is flush with the wall in the under ground portion of the house. Then put the adobe bricks over the chicken wire making the ceiling of the upper room. and leave holes in the adobe for 2 doors some windows and a chimne hole in the center of the roof. And now construct a bathroom of square dimentions or curved roof attached to one of the doors of the dome. Then make an entryway for the second door with a bump or step into the front door to have no risk of water entering the front door----- Now you can put stucko all allong the outside of house and along the interior of whole house( remember you need a perfect water barrier for the underground portion of the house because if it isn't sealed it will fill to the top with water). And for the floor on the bottom of the house you may just use stucko, or for more durabillity use cement. Now create the stairs to the bottom portion of the house, and then the closable water tight chimney, and attach the solar pasturizing toilet and a rain catcher purifyer system above the bathroom and add plumbing to everything including automatic sprinklers and add all the electrical wiring that you need and solar panels or other type of power system ----- in the end add architectural features to your whole property because all modern houses may be amazingly inefficient or ineffective but what they do have is good architectural design wich is why we like to look at them and buy them----- and if you ever want to sell this house it has to pass a safety inspection, I would guess, wich should be the only reason you aren't supposed to build a house without permits or under code, because if you sold it to somebody you don't want to be responsible for their injury, but otherwise I say if it's on your own property and no one can see it or is effected by it, you should be able to do whatever you want even if they think you're risking your own safety, you know the science behind it and are self assured of own safety. And take own precautions.-----
  • (Amendment to: House Building Plan)--I recently found out that stucco is permeable by water. So to get a water tight seal through out the house you should instead use "Liquid Vinyl Paint", on the outside and on the inside, and also you never have to paint again because you only need to clean the vinyl coating with soap and water. And it's the same material that they use to waterproof above ground pools, so it should be safe for the underground portion of the house no matter what, as long as the walls have sufficient bracing to not have any possible cave in.----- For the wall bracings, I would say that just more vertical alluminum poles would be all that would be needed, and all poles fastenned securely to the chicken wire or other metal mesh type. ----- Also for drying of adobe bricks-- It should be possible under any humidity, the same as cement can be dried under any humidity. Otherwise, to build the house, use cement blocks, filled with high insulator(like any dense earth).--- 6/18/07
  • The main feaures of why this design is effective, are-----In a hot summer or cold winter just go to underground portion if need to. This design may be stronger in roof design than a regular house(depending on strength of alluminum poles). This house requires the least work/ expertise/ money to make successfully. It can probably even survive any storm at all, because of it's shape and height. It can never catch fire because it is made of incombustible materials(in fact stucco puts out fires) . May even be a bomb shelter. Most materials are either easilly obtainable or native materials so are free( adobe is just clay and hay or dried grass as binder)( clay is made from soil/ rock exposed to water/ air). And by digging a hole that makes less of a wall that you have to build. Save energy from super insulation. Can even plant grass or moss on the roof as an architectural statement .----- Keep in mind adobe is cheap only when labor is cheap. But look at it this way , if it's your own labor, then it is cheap no matter what if you build the house instead of work a 40 hour/week job to pay a mortgage on a house for 30 years instead on an inferior product, by looking at the energy savings alone.
  • (look to "favorite links" for good sites on doing house building...)
  • Power System- The best solar panels are going to be OLED solar electric cells because they can't break and are extremely cheap. unless you have an inventive new or different power supply---- You may even produce hydrogen by anaerobic decomposition of compost. Or by disolving easy to obtain metal in a strong organic acid that grow somehow. this needs more research though. But it would be used for water/ electricity/ flame/ and maybe pressure cooling/ and in fuel cell car.
  • Make your own pond by digging a giant hole and let it fill with rain water over one year, then add air to the water with water plants then add fish for free fish if the pond is big enough to support an ecosystem to feed them off of, or you feed them with a bag of fish food .
  • Tables/ Desks/ Chairs/ Bed/ Furniture/ Pictures/ Storage- have everything lite weight and collapsable and not breakable for least work or have well designed sturdy appealing furniture for being more fun to look at. -----I suppose if you didn't have many material posetions like books(replaced by encyclopedic computer) or entertainment(dvd's , comics, books, games- replaced by trading) then you may only need one shelf for collectables or favorite or sentimental artifacts. -----And for pictures just have them all on flash memory, and have a backup card, and put them into a high resolution or big digital picture frame. ----- bed may just be the mattress because I find every bed frame always breaks unless it weighs a ton or is built into the house itself- sheets should be just like a pillow case so that they don't ever slip off, and then whatever blankets you want------ for storage have a storage shed kit so that it's out of the way of your new clean/ absent of any clutter, house.
  • Add-Ons - Hot tub/ Pool/ Sauna/ Screened porch/ camera /camcorder/ public utilities/ trash/ sewer/ garage/ office/ gym / studio
