Wallington's Stonehenge

Wally Wallington
The “Wallington lever”
This is a good way to make your own megalithic stone structures to use as a house or just for fun.

Here are some links to the video and his site, and other info:

The above is a good video of the Wallington method in practice.

The above is a short delve into the physics at work in large object moving method.

The above has some extra pictures not seen elsewhere.



He has pivot points but I don’t know how he gets the rock pivots under the large block especially as he’s still moving the block. Because I would assume that one person would have to tilt the large block to one side while he puts a pivot stone under the other side of the huge block.

Or maybe he puts the stones into the correct position in the middle of the 180 degree turn and while he’s placing the stone pivot where he wants it, the huge block is resting on the ground halfway into the turn, and then he completes the full 180 degree turn and rests the stone exactly on the new pivot point, as long as he has calculated the exact placement of the pivot stone for the notch in the big block to rest on perfectly. Therefore he just keeps reusing the same 2 pivot stones.

I need to also research cutting out stone. I think if you have a harder material used as a chisel against a rock that is a softer material, then you can cut the softer stone with that chisel. Or just use a metal chisel. Also you need a mallet and a wedge to cleave of large chunks of rock. After chipping out holes to put the wedge in. Rocks always want to fracture along there grain, or along weak points that have been artificially chiseled into them. In the same way as you make perforated paper. You drill holes along where you want it to fracture.

And I figured out how the stones in the pyramid and also Machu Picchu were so exactly placed together so that even a piece of paper won't fit between them. In Machu Picchu, their stones were of many different shapes and sizes even at crooked angles so I theorize their method was to fracture the stones off of an original stone outcrop like disassembling a puzzle, and then reassemble those pieces back into the way that they were taken out along their same fracture lines. But for the pyramids what they may have done is hammer the tops of the stones to flatten them out or may have even sanded them.

Obviously none of this requires alien technology to accomplish. I'm going to have to try it one day.

Rushed Lifestyle

The only reason that we need fast cars is because we’re always in a hurry, and need to get to a job or somewhere fast. If we ever, one day, had no need for watches, and keeping time, and were never in a hurry, then there would be no need for fast cars except in ambulances. And anyway I enjoy the journey to places more than the actual destination, because you have to actually find things to do at the destination, and some times there’s nothing to do when you get there, so your better off enjoying the ride. But we would always still need to have fast ambulances. And if we somehow didn’t want to live rushed lives, we could, with today’s technology, have solar powered cars that go just as fast as horses did in the old days. But it would be free to drive, less maintenance, and not cost as much as a horse. And when they come out with 70% efficient multijunction solar panels eventually, then you will have vehicles just as powerful as today’s, that run off of solar power.
A car called "Eclectic" has already been made that is 100% solar powered.
But in the far distant future, in the best utopia possible, we would all have personal helicopters that wouldn’t break down and were easy to pilot. And we’d need infinite energy for them, so that they’d have enough power to take off with any weight and go any distance. This I believe will one day be possible with new energy technologies.
There might also be a market for a new invention of solar paneled motorized modules that pulled a chariot or a carriage behind them and the more power you needed the more horsepower worth of drive modules you would attach to your vehicle.

Absolute Certainty

Is everything or is nothing absolute?

• If you go 30 miles in one hour you could have either gone 30mph the whole time or 60 miles per hour for 5 minute and 20 mph the rest of the way and still gone the 30 miles in the 1 hour.
• Good and bad are not absolute as the old saying goes that gold is good for a human but bad for an ass(donkey). But straw is good for an ass but bad for a human. And how we punish people for being bad varies from country to country also.
• One substance can have different properties at different energy levels even though it is still the same substance. And when combining different substances at different energy levels there are infinite possibilities as to the properties that are desired. Also different densities and amounts of imperfections can give these same substances radically different properties.
• With so much not being absolute does that mean that death is still absolute?
• And is the act of saying nothing is absolute, absolute in and of itself.
  

Anything involving humans is never absolute and is never a certainty.

The only absolutes in civilization are “death and taxes” as the saying goes.

On the other hand nature and physical law is always an absolute certainty

Just look at nuclear physics experiments and what is at stake if they don’t work exactly as predicted, and how many lives are at stake. That’s how I know that god and spirits don’t interfere with things, because sometimes there’s no margin for error. This is why we rely on the laws of the universe to not change erratically.

Gravity will never fail. The sun will always shine, a knife will always cut, energy will never be created or destroyed, there will always be entropy which means there are always new beginnings from the past being erased by time.

We make tools out of nature in order to make survival more of a certainty and easier.

But then humans monopolize or franchise or corner the market in new tools to have control over other humans, who are forced to do whatever the rich guy tells them. This is a form of control which makes the rich person's life more certain but it makes every other humans life less certain.

If it wasn’t for this monopolizing of new ideas then we would have had infra red cook tops 20 years ago. Because it was patented but never used by the owner of the patent until the patent ran out and the rest of the world jumped on the opportunity of using the idea then, 20 years later.

Fun Thoughts To Stir The Imagination

Imagine a world where all of the drinking water that you need is absolutely free. And never having another water bill

Imagine never having an energy bill again.

Imagine a world where it is absolutely free to cook food. There is no energy bill from using a stove. And if you have wood scraps on your property, then there is no fuel cost. And the stove itself was free and easy to build.

Imagine never having to buy matches again, or lighter fluid, or coal brickets.

Imagine never having to buy alcohol or other chemicals again , and instead they just made themselves for free, on the same time scale as vegetable gardens grow.

And imagine that you could wash and dry your clothes instantly and that you didn’t need to fix the washing machine ever again, and that you never paid for detergent or water again, or even had to worry about your clothes shrinking anymore.

Imagine never having to buy gasoline again for your car, and also the car never having to be repaired again or needing oil, but still having the same performance and convenience as a normal car.

Imagine never needing tools, or needing to make complex machines work, or ever having to repair your house again, or mow the lawn.

Imagine never having to worry about crime ever again or being in an accident caused by someone else.

Imagine not having to move all the time and if you did move all the time the furniture never weighed more than 20 pounds, or being awkward to carry.

And imagine never needing to go to the store again, or needing to pay for things, constantly, or being in the crowded stores. But instead your store was the wide open wilderness that you got supplies and food and medical and materials from, and it never ran out of stock.

And finally what if you never had to see bad news on TV or argumentative people, and you didn’t have to worry about anything anymore, and you kept all human made good in your life and had already gotten rid of all human made bad in your life. And because you had a working system with no chance of system failure, that would mean no more worries to be kept in the back of your mind anymore, and you'd now finally be at a point that you can relax and don’t need to do anything anymore unless you want to, so you just decided to sit back and watch the tides come in and the sun set, in total silence, with no end point in site to the perfect life.

This is all possible with today’s technology by yourself or with other people, without having to sacrifice standard of living. And you still get to have the best of all of these ideas simultaneously, and the best of all worlds all at once.

People Tend To Forget....

It has never actually been a bad universe, we only tend to forget what a good universe we actually live in. Either by only focusing on bad parts of life or just not having good memory, or not being reminded regularly enough about good things. Because I was recently reminded what a good world it is.

I've had a bad allergic reaction lately, ever since I moved to Florida. And because it was most likely dust mites, and you can never get rid of dust mites completely, I was beginning to think that there was no cure. But then I started working out vigorously, for a solid hour, 3 times a week at a gym that I recently got a membership to. And the rashes from the allergic reaction disappeared shortly after that. Then I finally remembered something I learned a long time ago but had forgotten. Which was that strenuous exercise boosts your immune system. So I had found the cure for the ailment that was making me annoyed at the world. Which made me realize that I had forgotten how good of a world that this actually was.

So don't believe others when they say that life can't get any better than it already is. Because we live in a good universe that we can tailor to our wants and needs. And which will always provide everything that we want or need. And that people have to create bad in this world for it to exist in the first place. Case in point: Disasters such as the recent earth quake in china killing 50,000 people, are always easily preventable, with some knowledge that you live in an earthquake prone area before you decide to start building. So as humans we can always create either bad in this world or create good in this world. You can either create your own problems or create your own solutions.

Also always have reminders in your life of the good parts of life or the utopia that you will be able to make for yourself later on, and so by only thinking about good things all the time, you will only portray happiness to others, and yourself. Instead of getting caught up in others game of complaining about life or how bad the world is. Which is a false assumption. Like the old saying "Garbage in garbage out". Which can also be expressed as "Put good things into your head and only good things will come out".

Then again it's all in how you look at things. One person can look at auto mechanics and say "That work makes you get disgusting fluids all over you and something is gonna hurt you by burning or pinching or cutting you eventually, so I hate it". But another person could look at auto mechanics and say,"Cars are so cool, and even though working on cars is uncomfortable, it's mind over matter and the rewards far outweigh the risks, and it makes you feel alive, so I think it's fun". So in essence you can find anything fun if you're just looking at it in the right way. Which means some people actually like living in crowded cities while working at a job for most of the day, for their whole lives.

So if I ever do make my own version of utopia, I will never force anyone to "convert" to my way of living, even if it works perfectly. Because every body has their own version of a perfect world, and it's everybody's choice to fashion their own life to their own particular likes or dislikes.

So the universe is a good place. And everybody can tailor the universe to their own particular needs. And always remind yourself of your own personal utopia and how good the world really is and always will be. But don't force you own personal ideas upon others.

We've declared war on plants

In America "the land of the free" we are now outlawing plants to grow. For what ever reason the plant"Siberian ginseng" is outlawed in the united states. Along with probably lots of other plants such as hemp(I don't use drugs at all by the way). But in tribal cultures, plants grew on their own in the forest, and were used as needed(medicinally or otherwise). And any plants that were poisonous or unneeded were left alone. They weren't outlawed. And are never dangerous unless you use them on another person against their will.

So some plants are now not even allowed to grow by themselves within our boarders. Which is a war against nature. And if you were to use or eat those illegal plants, and they could prove it, then you'd be sent to jail. These laws or rules fly in the face of nature at trying to control other humans. But the real world is made in a way that makes this human made law hard to enforce, because you'd have to do a stomach pump on a person that is alone in the forest at the time that he ate the plant.

The law is based on the premise that we're not smart enough to take care of ourselves. Well I contend that we need stupid people around, because otherwise we would have never found out that a plant was poisonous without stupid people eating it, and us learning from their mistakes. But human made chemicals from plants and used in a malicious way, against other humans, may be punishable. But it won't prevent a person from doing it again if they're an addict, or getting money out of it, and it being a hard to enforce law. But, as a related topic, if you have to make rules to not kill other people in your society, then you're living around the wrong kind of people in the first place. And if it is your own choice to make a chemical and use it on yourself, then that should be fine.

It's when you don't have control over your own body that the people controlling your body have now become totalitarian. Whether it be a friend, or a spouse or a government. Totalitarianism only occurs if you agree to it, or allow it to be possible, in the first place. In the end, is it the ultimate goal of governments to have everybody in jail, locked up in a cage, "so that the people can never hurt themselves"? Is this the goal that all politicians dream of?

I saw a Nova episode about gorillas near the Congo. And during the study of the lifetimes of the gorillas there was a war between the humans of that area that turned into the genocide of 800,000 people. But after wards they picked up the research once again on the gorillas and found that they were all untouched by the human conflict and had actually expanded and prospered. The moral of the story is, "don't get involved with the problems of society, and you will prosper"

So in the end, its good that there are still places like Alaska that you can escape to before the government tightens its grip so much that you can't escape. And that you can still find wild plants where no one will stop you from using them, of your own free will.

Side note:If it wasn't for people catching mass quantities of wild animals and plants and fish and putting them on the endangered species list even, and then selling on the open market, only for profit. We wouldn't have to follow all of these laws and regulations for hunting/fishing/and harvesting wild plants, hadn't the greedy people forced these new conservation laws to be enacted, and mandatory for everyone.

Makeshift Survival Weapon

Visit my other post on: Complete wilderness survival supply list: For camping
Some weapons that you can make out of common materials are: A bow and arrow, An "Atlatl"(AKA:Spearthrower) or the less complex "lacross stick".
How to make a lacross stick is just make a loop or fork and handle out of a branch and then, make a net out of any flexible material and then tie it around the edges of the loop with dug up tree roots as cordage.
But the best of the 3 is the bow and arrow. Because it's most accurate. You can reuse the ammunition. You can hunt from fish, to birds, to small mammals and pros can even hunt bears with a bow(although not advised). And can be made very quickly with the right materials.(See: "Making a survival bow" on youtube)

Being Healthy

Balance you brain:If you balance the right and left sides of your brain and make them cooperate then you get extraordinary skills at playing sports(as seen on “scientific American frontiers”:see youtube). So if you wanted to throw the ball into the hole from far away you have more control over the shot when both the left and right sides of the brain reach a state of balance in activity. This effect can be artificially enhanced by standing on a board being balanced on a rolling cylinder in the center. This is definitely good with martial arts skills.

Becoming a marathon runner is simple: Just start at 1 mile a day then 2 miles then 4 miles then 9 miles until reach 20 miles(As seen on a “Nova” marathon special: See youtube). What happens is your body transforms. Your veins and arteries become more flexible, your heart and lungs become more efficient, your ligaments and tendons get tougher and your muscles turn from strength fibers into stamina fibers. What is needed by muscles while running is carbs and fat and water. And marathon runners are the healthiest people because of their(vo2max) that makes them have the least chance of any health problems. But don’t think that you’re going to lose weight because they tested many people on the marathon show before and after they were in the marathon and only one had lost any weight at all. But that was only because that person had also gone on a strict diet. Instead just do this if you want to have superhuman running abilities, and to be healthy.

Inferred : If extreme exercise doesn’t make you lose weight. And you need both fat and sugar in your diet for your muscles to function properly. Then the only thing that will ever make you lose weight is eating less food/calories and having a higher metabolism. Some people have always been blessed with a fast metabolism and have never had to struggle, but in order to artificially create this is to eat 7 very small meals(thumb sized) throughout the day(1 per:2-3 hours), while never skipping a small meal. So treat your body like a machine and never give it bad junk food, or more food than is absolutely needed. But it may not matter what you actually eat as long as it’s less calories per/day.

Looking into the future(updated 2 times)

Good things to expect in the not too distant future, from science.

1. Graphene : Is the closest that we're going to get to a superconductor at room temperature for a while. So I look forward to when a way is found to mass produce it for use in low resistance electrical circuits.
2. Flat lighting, and wall poster theaters : Will be here in a few years as Organic Light Emitting Diodes(OLED's) are mass produced for cheap soon. This will make low power usage bright flat ceiling lights. And with some circuitry can be a poster of differently colored OLED's to make a cheap low power usage home theater sized television.
3. No more cancer: If the promising microwave/ nanosphere/ intron, technology prooves to be successful in the next 2 years.
4. Artificial gecko skin: Will be invented very soon, because of the potential of it being useful in many different fields, and they have the beginnings of small scale prototypes already. It's sticky in every environment, and can be self cleaning, and is the strongest temporary hold.
5. Electric cars: Are the perfect car, with new battery technologies, can now replace the internal combustion engine and rarely require maintenance because of very few moving parts. And the motors are embedded in each wheel, so that you can turn by variable spin speed of each wheel. Also they have AC induction motors which don't require a high maintenance carbon brush commutator. And the gear switching is all electric, requiring no gears. And battery technology keeps advancing every day, which means further than 250 mile range on a charge, and only taking 30 minutes to charge, and longer lifespans of the actual batteries meaning less replacement costs.
6. Super capacitors: Will be game changing in the energy storage industry. They never degrade, have instant charge times, are almost 100% energy efficient, and even can have more energy density than the best batteries theoretically. Look to the new super capacitor being invented right now from EEstor on wikipedia. (A.K.A. EEstor inc.). And they will also be in a new vehicle made by the company Zenn. It may also be wise to invest in the companies stock of Zenn or EEstor before they multiply and split by an online stock trading site like "E*trade"that should be reputable because of them being able to put commercials on TV. I was recently looking on youtube under "EEstor" and they said that ZENN automotive stock is a speculative stock. And that it's at 4$ right now and if the technology didn't work then the stock would drop to 1$ but if the technology did work then the stock price would rise to 20$/share. And I plan on investing at least $1,000 in their stock because if it works I will be able to buy one of their cars with gain in stock value. But I'm also willing to take the risk of loosing the money, because I believe in the science as being just as important of a new technology as fiber optics were when they were invented. Here's the stock info page. Also Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, on this Wikipedia page(Wikipedia is, I'd say, 99.8% fact) is a venture capital investment firm who counts Google and Amazon among their early-stage successes, has also invested heavily in the company. Look under their investments for where it says Eestor as a 2007 investment. And also Lockheed Martin is investing in EEstor for sole use of the patent in the US, in the military, see: This press release. Look to EEstor,inc.'s private company information page also. And also since watching almost every video that they have on youtube under the search "ZENN car" I now have confidence in investing in a company that is as professional as them. Even if the bigger car companies out there will one day overtake them, by getting license to the same capacitor technology. Also definitely read the press releases on ZENN motors website, under "news". http://www.zenncars.com/
   
7. Focus fusion: Is a new form of energy production that has no nuclear waste, or any other types of waste. And a reactor can be made for only $300,000. And the reactor doesn't need to be replaced like regular fission reactors from neutron emission corrosion. And it's only $60/kilowatt instead of the $1000/kilowatt of natural gas energy prices. I got this from the june 2oo8 edition of discover magazine on page 64. Also see this information on focus fusion.
   

Inventing

I am currently working with my dad to make an invention. The deal is that I make the proof of concept model and that he then does the productizing of the invention.
The steps involved in inventing are as follows:

1. Market research: If you google the invention is there another product like it that has already been made and how well does that market seem to be doing in sales.
2. Proof of concept: If the previous step resulted positively, then you make your proof of concept model that doesn't need to look pretty or anythings but just needs to work.
3. Initial market testing: Then you make a limited run of maybe 30 units to test the market and see if it sells and keep a record of sales and feedback and fix any problems that customers experienced with the product.
4. Patenting: Only patent when you are sure that there is a market for your invention and that it hasn't already been created before, to not have to pay the high patenting price. And some inventions are not patentable, like electronics, because there are always different different circuit diagrams that perform the exact same function that a competitor can use. And you may get a "proprietary patent" or a "copyright" instead.
   
5. Production model: Now after all of the above are completed you make a production model. That is exactly the way that it would be sold in stores. And with that model you also need to source all of the parts and prices and an assembler that will put the parts together and come up with a final cost and sale price and quote how many that you could have made for your retailer to buy from you.
   
6. Side note: You never buy your parts for the production model from a retailer because they inflate the price. So you need the wholesale mass quantities price from a direct manufacturer of parts.
7. Now you're in business: One of the best businesses to be in is this kind, because the people buying a specialty item sometimes don't care how much they pay for the item. They only care about whether they need it for their business or not, and will buy in mass quantities from you the supplier, all in one purchase, just because it's easier to just do the paperwork once. So you can get a years worth of sales done in one sale and have a high price on that item you"re selling, if it's a specialty item in demand.
8. Supply and demand: That's what drives the entire economy.
   

Liability

My Definition: Liability means, one day something bad is "liable" to happen to you. And I am against any and all liability. Or at least I want control in deciding my own liabilities.

Some forms of liability are: Letting other people drive the car, needing to feed and care for family and pets, having to pay bills, any form of delegation. But don’t live somewhere that has bad weather, or the possibility of flood, which they learned after the fact in New Orleans. Being around other people in general is always a liability because people have on average a "C" average I.Q. Also they may only be in it for themselves. And one day that’s bound to affect you in some way. Hopefully not badly.Given enough time of living in the city, odds are that something bad will happen which was caused by city lifestyle.

There are new technologies being made every day to give people less liability to the people that can afford them. Such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips, which if given range like cell phones and Global positioning system (GPS) could be the perfect amber alert system that could transmit the locations of emergencies. And new water meter remote sensors that disconnect you instantly after not paying a water bill and new micro printing on car parts that are able to ID a stolen car. So if you can't afford new technologies then you're more and more at the mercy of the people with the new technology, which is a liability. And the people who can afford the new technologies are getting less liability.

One of the best ways to get rid of all liabilities, is to disconnect yourself from society all together(Most people will not go to that extreme though), keeping all good things made by humans, and getting rid of all bad things made by humans. Because if you lived in a world with all of human made technology, but no humans, then you'd have all human created good but no human created bad, it could essentially be utopia. Because you would now have all of the tools needed to make a utopia, and nothing to get in your way. Also, for bad to exist in the first place, it has to be created by humans. Because we’ve already found technological solutions to all naturally made problems of life. Whether it, be animals or weather.

Thought Provoking Insights

It's not how many people like you that makes you what your are. It's how you act on that info, that makes you what you are.
That works also with how much money you have, and how good you are at sports, and how good looking you are.


You never know what the tide will bring in tomorrow. So never give up on life and never stop just continuing to try.(This was from the movie "castaway")

Do the right thing even if it hurts you in the process. But don't do stupid things. In other words don't be in it just for yourself. Which means create a safe and secure environment for those you want to keep around you.

It's great living off of the table scraps of society. Going to the thrift store or garage sales, and give aways on the side of the road. You can always repurpose other peoples trash into your own treasure if you know what you're looking for: For instance, use the seeds from fruit bought at the store to grow your own, after you've eaten the fruit.
Or use Mylar from potato chip bags to make a parabolic mirror for starting a BBQ in the back yard.

Baby steps: Only focus on what you have control over now, and don't worry about what's out of your control, what happens happens, at least you tried. And the journey of 1000 miles begins with "1 first step".

Think of everybody that you meet or talk to as though you're both still in high school. Because all humans are immature at heart. What sets grown ups apart from kids is just the degree of seriousness in which they look at life. So stop taking yourself so seriously, and you won't be so upset at other people being immature.

Infinite Videogames: How To Get Emulators And Roms

For being able to play Super Nintendo on your computer.

First you wan to pick the emulator with the most stars(best reviews) from this link

Then you want to see the system requirements you need on your computer to run the emulator on your computer.(which may say you need direct x 9.0 or something higher)

Then before downloading the emulator you want do download 'directx' from 'microsoft downloads' on their site which will require lots of memory and I have 1mb of ram and 120mb HD and the direct x works fine on my computer.


Then down load the emulator and put it in it's own 'supernintendo' folder. This doesn't require much memory storage.

Then download all the super nintendo games you want from http://vimm.net/
But remember that you just unzip it when you have already downloaded the game. And that option is located on the part of the window where you see "organize, view, and burn" and that's right below where you see"file, edit, view" on the window.

Then download the Rom of the game of rampart for the super nes. If you wanted to download it and play it

Then you just get any computer USB controller. And they all work automatically when plugged in.(So there's no software or driver needed).You just program in the keys that you want to have for each button of the controller.(Button programming is located in the emulator program when opened under input. Get the controllers at a thrift store(used) or a video game store or a computer store. Don't pay more than 10$.

Money Scheme

I just had a thought. If you had a 6% interest earning account of say 30,000$, which is about 300 $/mo of extra income payable to another account/mo. And you combined that fact with the effect of dollar cost averaging.

Rather than buying a set # of stocks every month you instead buy a set $ cost every month.

Then supposedly you would buy 300$/mo of mutual funds or gold or both. And over time the compound interest effect and the dollar cost averaging effect combined would give you a combined higher interest rate than you could normally get.
Also this would be set up to automatically happen whether you watch it or not.(The 300$ goes into an IRA of stocks or gold every month so that you can't take out the money unless you really try)
This would be the best compound interest for the novice investor.

Perfect/ Indefinite Battery Charging

This gotten from here(Wiki):

"The charging voltage is in the range of 1.4-1.6 V/cell. A fully charged cell measures 1.35-1.4 V (unloaded), and supplies a nominal average 1.2 V/cell during discharge, down to about 1.0-1.1 V/cell (further discharge may cause permanent damage). In general, a constant-voltage charging method cannot be used for automatic charging. When fast-charging, it is advisable to charge the NiMH batteries with a smart battery charger to avoid overcharging, which can damage batteries and cause dangerous conditions. A Ni-Cad charger should not be used as an automatic substitute for a NiMH charger."

A good safety feature of a custom built charger is to use a resettable fuse in series with the battery, particularly of the bimetallic strip type. This fuse will open if either the current or the temperature goes too high.

I bought a "(3.6V) PowerFilm™ flexible solar module" from the Edmundscientific site. It is possibly the best way to charge a battery because it's automatically the right voltage in the solar panel to the battery. And so all you have to do is attach 2 batteries in series with wire. And you've got yourself a charger that can't break and can work on camping trips, and in any weather to recharge batteries during the day to use in LED headlamps. And just buy extra batteries or chargers if you use a lot of batteries while camping.
Or you could just use the solar panel charger at your home in a window.
But you have to watch the voltage of your charge with a voltmeter to not over charge the batteries.(see the above optimum voltage).
This is some product info: This is the instructions link

"These PowerFilm™ flexible solar modules can be used alone to direct-power your small DC project (anything that runs off 3.6V or less and requires 100mA of current or less) - or, they can be used in your battery-charger project to store energy for later use.


BATTERY-CHARGING TIPS

For battery charging, the voltage of your solar panel MUST be higher than the voltage of the battery that you want to charge. We recommend using the following guidelines:

· at least 2.0 volts to charge one 1.2 volt battery

· at least 3.6 volts to charge two 1.2 volt batteries wired in series

· at least 4.8 volts to charge three 1.2 volt batteries wired in series

· at least 6.0 volts to charge four 1.2 volt batteries wired in series.

Multiple panels can be wired together to increase voltage or current, and the panels can be cut (following directions!) for your special project.

Each module is encapsulated in 3 mil clear polyester film.

Specs:

· Output 100mA @ 3.6V

· Open-circuit voltage: 4.8V

· Total size: 2.9" X 5.9"

· Total solar cell size: 2.4" X 5.9"

· Total thickness: 0.22mm (8 mil)

· Weight: a few grams"

"Operating voltage 3.6VDC Operating current 100 mA Typical Voc 4.8V Typical Isc 130 mA Total size 74mm x 150mm (2.9 x 5.9 inches) Aperture size 60mm x 150mm (2.4 x 5.9 inches) Thickness 0.2mm (8mil) Weight 3.1g (0.1oz)"
And from the panasonic NiMH spec sheet it says that the maximum voltage that 1.2 V nominal voltage batteries can handle is 1.8 V which is 5.4 volts in a series of 3 batteries(always charge in series). Which the solar panel will never be able to exceed. in other words when the battery is fully charged the solar panel will give out less current, until it is only a small trickle charge. And put simply that means that you can leave it unattennded and it will take care of itself without breaking ruining the battery. As long as you have a diode to keep the battery from discharging when the solar panel is in the dark.

OR GET:AA foldable solar charger if you want a plug and play operation, with no electrical knowledge needed. Even though it costs 3 times as much, for the same parts.

Time capsules

I plan on making time capsules for my valuables when I go out on my on the road infinite vacation. This way I don't need to pay for a safe deposit box or anything.
It will be in a very durable/thick plastic container sealed with silicone and duct tape for redundancy. And it will have something metal in it like tin foil, so that I can detect it when I'm in the area.
I will write down the GPS coordinates when I bury it and to find it again I just need to go on a geocache search.
It needs to be located away from trees so that roots don't grow into it, and ruin it by breaking the container.
This technique is also good for saving an otherwise worthless item for the future in mint condition until it has become an antique and extremely valuable collectable to museums, and such.
Also I don't want to put all of my eggs in one basket. So I will make multiple smaller containers. Just in case someone digs one of them up, and just in case one is ruined by roots.
Never let it known where it was buried, before or after it was buried.

Making biodiesel

The process is to put lye( AKA caustic soda/"draino") in vegetable oil,and that will separate the glycerin which will fall to the bottom and will need to be disposed of, and then put in some type of alcohol such as isopropyl or methanol into the new mixture and it will react to produce biodiesel.
It should work in any diesel engine but you may need to change the rubber fuel lines and fuel filter shortly after have been using biodiesel.You can also make a mixture of biediesel and regular diesel.
So if you make your own alcohol and vegetable oil and you will have to only buy caustic soda in order to make a supply of biodiesel fuel. Although you need to use different amounts of Lye for different degrees of rancidity of the vegetable oils. So do a titration test. Now just figure in the cost of each ingredient needed, and the amount of product produced from that and you will get the "cost/gallon".(usually around .50 cents/gallon)

The following was found under " biodiesel" on Wikipedia:
August 31, 1937, G. Chavanne of the University of Brussels (Belgium) was granted a patent for a "Procedure for the transformation of vegetable oils for their uses as fuels" (fr. 'Procédé de Transformation d’Huiles Végétales en Vue de Leur Utilisation comme Carburants') Belgian Patent 422,877. This patent described the alcoholysis (often referred to as transesterification) of vegetable oils using methanol and ethanol in order to separate the fatty acids from the glycerol by replacing the glycerol by short linear alcohols. This appears to be the first account of the production of what is known as "biodiesel" today.

Biodiesel is a renewable fuel that can be manufactured from vegetable oils, animal fats, recycled restaurant greases, and some types of algae; it can be produced locally in most countries. It is safe, biodegradable and reduces air pollutants, such as particulates, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. Blends of 20 percent biodiesel with 80 percent petroleum diesel (B20) can generally be used in unmodified diesel engines. Biodiesel can also be used in its pure form (B100), but may require certain engine modifications to avoid maintenance and performance problems.

Biodiesel refers to a non-petroleum-based diesel fuel consisting of short chain alkyl (methyl or ethyl) esters, typically made by transesterification of vegetable oils or animal fats, which can be used (alone, or blended with conventional petrodiesel) in unmodified diesel-engine vehicles.

Belgian Patent 422,877. This patent described the alcoholysis (often referred to as transesterification) of vegetable oils using ethanol (and mentions methanol) in order to separate the fatty acids from the glycerol by replacing the glycerol with short linear alcohols.

ADDED LATER:}

• ^{If you're making a small batch: Use a throwaway blender on low speed for 1/2 hour to an hour, to blend it and then pour into another container to let the glycerol settle to be thrown away later.}
  
• ^{Biodiesel dissolves rubber, so change the fuel lines in car to synthetic}
• ^{Do a Titration test of the oil to see how acidic it has become, to know how much methanol or ethanol to add to the mixture. Because every batch is different.}
• ^{Titration test 1st method: Is mixing an indicator solution and the titrating solution which is lye powder (of a specified amount) and then against that reference amount you add small amounts of oil at a time until the indicator changes the color of the entire sample.The indicator that was added is called (phenolphthalein,or turmeric) Which turns pink. Then you measure the ratio of oil to lye powder that was used in the sample and you will know how much oil/lye/methanol needed for a big batch.}
• ^{Mix 1 liter of water with 1 gram of catalyst exactly.(The catalyst is '''lye")This is how to make lye water. But in the real batch of biodiesel you don't want any water to be in it, so only use the lye powder without any water added. To not have to filter the water out later}
  
• ^{Titration test 2nd method:First put alcohol in a glass container and then add a tiny bit of home made PH indicator of Turmeric, which turns pink when it's at the right PH. It should turn a little pink because alcohol is slightly acidic. Then put a specified amount of lye powder in the glass container of alcohol and indicator, and then slowly add the oil that hadn't put in yet a little bit at a time (drops at a time) until the solution changes color, making sure to measure the amount that was put in it, in the end. And you will then know the ratio of lye/ oil to use in a bigger batch.}
  
• ^{http://www.freedomfuelamerica.com/}
• ^{When the biodiesel has been fully reacted you then separate the fuel from the glycerol by either pouring out the glycerol from a hole in the bottom of the container(easier to do if you have that kind of container) or pouring/siphoning the fuel from the top of the container.}
• ^{Then to further purify the fuel you want to boil away any excess unreacted alcohol(or methanol) and you may distill it to be used later, also, if needed. But it may not be necessary.}
  
• To mix the fuel better, in a large tank:^{May use a small air bubbler(The kind used in fish tanks. Get it at a thrift store for $1) and also a tank heater to aid in reaction. The large tank should have a draining spout at the bottom of the container.}
  
• ^{Then pour the good fuel into a gas can and put into diesel engine car.}

Contradiction

It is estimated that over 2,000 people every year are sent to Hell accidentally only because they had forgotten some of the sins they had committed and had in turn forgotten to confess them. And even more unfortunate people had died this year before being baptized at a very young age and were also sent to Hell.
God provides no incentive to be a good person, if he forgives everyone who confesses their sins, even if that person is a repeat offender. Meaning that you can do it again as long as you confess the sins again.
And how do you know when you've actually been forgiven? What if you didn't magically confess your sins in just the right way? Or what if you forgot your sins from before you started going to church? And what if the sin was a complete accident, and you died before you could confess it?
The concept of forgiveness for your sins seems to be man made, if the theory has so many imperfections.

Religion and Prejudice and Science

• Belief in the “scientific method” is a belief that the universe can provably be understood. finding ways to test theories that the results of cannot be disputed. This is also a good way to solve arguments with friends or family.
  

• “Spiritualism” in my own definition means being open to all religious or spiritual or supernatural ideas

• “Religious” in my personal definition means that you show solidarity with only one religious or supernatural view point and are unwilling to change it, and block out all new view points.(using the bible to win arguments).

• “Prejudice” in my opinion is separating yourself from other groups of any label

I first suggest to any religious or spiritual prescriber, to research what the scientific method is and then decide whether you would like to believe in that. Then you can continually read books on the universe that you live in, written by scientists that use the scientific method. And put the pieces together for yourself. This way you are more objective and unbiased when you explain to others actual workings of the universe and not just hearsay opinion.

Any view point if held too fanatically by the individual has now become prejudice. Even if those ideas are based on actual science. Anything is possible because if you say it is impossible then you are implying that you know everything about the universe and that you know all of the possibilities. And I can prove anyone wrong about that by just asking you what causes gravity, or even magnetism. Or you could be misinterpreting those facts or are interpreting them in a biased way. To prove biased ideas or ideals.(radicals of science or religion)

It is not any religion that causes the evil in the world, because a religion is just written words in a book. It is the people behind the religion that use the religion as only an outlet for their inborn fanatical human tendencies. Prejudice (a human tendency) can be in the guise of any religion and fuel war.
LATER ADDED : Practicing religion is practicing at "believing whatever you hear". Despite of all of the contradictions that you come across in any religion. With an original philosopher's good philosophy soon come followers. And where you have followers you soon have leaders. And where you have leaders you soon have corrupted leaders. So that no matter how well intentioned the original philosophy is, it will eventually be used to get power or to control the people. And if I was the devil I would be pumping out new religions all the time to breed corrupted people.(This idea was contributed by my dad, which I agree with logically)

Fascism: It's okay when you get to control other people, because, besides, you're right all the time anyways. But when other people or the government are controlling you, it doesn't feel so good all of a sudden. Hell is having no control over your circumstances or an impossible to understand universe. Heaven is a universe that is understandable and controllable. And if earth can be understandable and controllable, then heaven on earth is possible.

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.
