Vortex Tube And Pulse Jet

I ran across this article while researching something else on wikipedia. It was about Vortex tubes. Then I thought "How can I get one of these". So I put that into the "search all categories" of Ebay. And there it was. Also I found a link to a cheaper place to buy them at the bottom of that ebay page.
This invention may have room to be improved upon, seeing as how they may not understand 100% of the physics behind it yet. The main questions being, how do you improve efficiency compared with ordinary A/C, and why doesn't it work as well on liquids, as on gasses?
My very first theory on this is that the more energetic less dense and therefor lighter hot air can more easily escape the center of the vortex(heat rises). One way of testing this could be by putting two dissimilar gasses into the vortex and seeing if the heavier gas comes out on the cold side.
Another application of this technology, may be to separate dissimilar gasses without the need to liquefy the gasses to separate them, like they do to manufacture pure nitrogen and oxygen.
Even if you can still create cryogenic temperatures with vortex tubes in series.
But they make noise so just have a muffler type thing on one end to not have noise if wanted to use it in a house. But if you wanted a house cooling system you should use the new" Johnson thermo-electrochemical converter system".
If you put compressed hydrogen into it at the right pressure it would come out as a flame thrower.

Also see: Pulse jet engine, or Youtube pulse jet, This is so cool that it's funny. See: Mythbusters for finding cool things funny.

Also see: Tesla turbine, or youtube it, if you haven't heard of it yet. This uses the principle of the "coanda effect". Which is also why wind over the top of a chimney will suck air out of the chimney.

Also see: Venturi effect, which is utilized in pulse jets. youtube it for some more visual explanations. This is also called Bernoulli's principle. I think all of these and the theory of flight are more easilly understood by all being seen as variations of the "Coanda effect". Because if a wing was shaped like the cross section of a frisby it wouldn't fly, and Bernoulli's principle says it would fly. See this link for a very good explaination of the theory of flight.
Bernoulli's principle is easilly remembered as: Faster moving air has lower air pressure.
The way a chimney works is also explained better by the coanda effect than bernoulli's principle, because if air in the chimney is attracted to air from a breeze above the chimney then the air in the chimney will be impelled to move in along with the moving air above the chimney from the inherent attractive forces. So the kinetic energy of the moving air is imparted into the chimney's air forcing the chimney air to move in the same direction, from the coanda effects force of attraction. This is the same with all of the ball and wind tests, and the 2 can test. All being explained better by the "Coanda effect".

Prank: Use bernoulli's principle or the coanda effect to TP someones house in seconds with the use of a leaf blower. See video.

Also see: Dredging, or Suction dredge often used in gold mining, which uses a solid state "y shaped" joint and the principle of suction. This is the same as how chimneys work but more specialized Y shape for dredging specific purposes.

The following picture is an improved wind turbine design.

Later added: I now am pretty sure that the coanda effect and van der waals forces are the same effect in different forms. I presume that fluids like air are attracted to solid surfaces(because solid surfaces electromagnetic charge is constantly pointed in one direction to attract free flowing fluids opposing charges) by electromagnetic forces at the atomic level in the same way as gecko skin is attracted to any solid surface. So in theory the "Coanda effect" which better describes the theory of flight than bernouli's principle, is actually an electromagnetic effect at the atomic level that is one and the same as van der waals forces.
Gravity could be an electromagnetic macro scale effect, but there is no solid theory or info supporting a connection yet.

Instant Cold Drink, No Refridgeration Needed

This idea has already been invented so just use this info for fun reading. And for technical reasons it has never been cost effective to produce.

This idea I recently submitted onto "Whynot.net":

This idea would work on non-carbonated beverages.
I think that if you were to pressurize a canned beverage, with air of the same amount of pressure as any other pressurized canned product, and then you released the pressurized air in the can, then it would immediately be a cold drink, and it would never have required refrigeration.

This is easily shown by buying one of those cheap "canned air" cans that are used for cleaning computer keyboards, which get very cold if you release the air all at once. Different initial pressures, equal different end temperatures once pressure is released.

This would be a good gimmick for marketing a product and may even be the way that all non-carbonated beverages are packaged one day.

And they should only be packaged in small sized containers so that you can drink the whole can before it gets warm.

This would also save energy used on vending machines, which currently use lots of energy to cool down water and other sports drinks, at gyms all the time.For maybe a little extra production cost(which people would be willing to pay), and a little more aluminum used per can for sturdiness, you could probably save as much energy in refrigerator operation, as is saved by using compact fluorescent bulbs.

Of course special design considerations are necessary for safety and ease of drinking. Maybe a solution is, a small hole to release the air and then another cap or opening, to open after the pressure is released. But a good engineer could easily figure out how to make it work.

If nothing else this would be a great novelty to see this one day.

The Theory Behind Becoming Rich

The best and simplest unified theory I've found is: Buy low, sell high, and always have spare liquid assets or cash to invest when the market is low.

Other theories are "creating value", And also that "the price is set by the buyer" and "value is in the mind of the buyer". But these aren't very easy to understand or apply in any way, and they don't really explain all aspects of money making in one simple unifying theory. But I haven't heard every economic theory that is around, so if you have a better simple theory then feel free to type it in the "comments section".

The reason why it's always easier to make money once you already have money, is just a matter of scale. When you have a million dollars earning only 10% interest in an investment, that translates into 100,000$ which is more than most poor people ever see in cash equivalents. Sort of like how the scale of an ant compared to an elephant. 20 ft of walking is short for an elephant but seems like a mile for an ant.

having lots of money is like having another person working for you, because the money performs work by itself without any supervision, and then gives all of its proceeds to you.

Factoid: Rich people on average life longer than poor people because they can afford any kind of medical care. Even if it's located across the world.

I'm lucky enough to be ready to buy a house when the market has gone down, so now in Florida there are lots of 2 bedroom 2 bath houses for 50,000$ or less soon.

I'm also lucky to be invested in Zenn stock while it's still a penny stock. And if the smartest people in the world are mistaken about investing in this one, then nobody is smart enough to invest properly. The risk with this company is loosing half of your money if it fails, but the reward of this company is gaining 5 times as much money if it succeeds in it's claims, by the end of the year.

Always have maximum reward and minimum risk in all investments. Or just as a general rule in every aspect of life other than money.

The problem is knowing when the market is at the bottom and when the market is at the top. So don't guess, instead just be in a position to take advantage of profitable opportunities after they become available. In other words you don't need to know when the market is at the bottom if you know for a fact that the market will be up sometime in the future. And alternatively you don't need to know when the market is at the top, because as long as you've made a profit then you can sell at any time. If you don't know what the future is short term, then invest for the long term.

In the end only buy things when they are priced at the lowest price that they should ever be at, when opportunity knocks. That way if they ever go up in price at all, then you can sell them at any time that you want, and it will always be profitable, without the need to predict.

An example of "buying low, selling high", is buying limited edition collector item games, in mint unopened condition when they just went out of print and then waiting for the demand to kick in at the next Christmas season and then sell them on ebay. If nothing else, you'll get back you're original investment, which means minimal risk. See collecting video games post

Actual Hoverboard And Real Flying Car

I recently added a post to an idea submission site called "www.whynot.net", of how a Hover board may be possible using ion wind technology, follow the ion wind link for wikipedia on the subject.
The following is the post that I submitted:

I recently saw on the show Mythbusters on their "anti-gravity episode" that they used a technology called a "lifter" which was able to float in the air by means of an ionic wind(NOT Antigravity). Also I recently heard about a solid state fan that uses the same ion wind technology, and which can also outperform regular fans in weight and power. So theoretically if you were able to somehow get enough lifting energy from ion wind then you could make either a toy car that floated around on ion wind, or you could make a full sized hover board. But in fact if enough power was possible someday you may even have a rocket pack version, to get from place to place in the future. The draw backs of this technology are:(1)It may not have enough power to lift a person in a compact device.(2)It uses very high voltages(20,000V's). (3)It has a bi-product of Ozone gas from the corona discharge used to make the ion wind. Also you'd need to have DC to DC step up voltage circuit that some technical people might know, which is also in a portable unit along with the battery. But also stabilizing the platform has to be worked out, in some kind of self stabilizing arrangement of electro-aerodynamic pumping.

artZ, Sep 12 2008

Other useful info is to search solid state fan, and electro-aerodynamic pumping. I also theorize that with high enough energy you could make a full sized vehicle float a few inches above the ground.

But if you wanted the vehicle to fly it would be a different technique. If the top of the vehicle was the sharp emitter electrode and the body of the craft was the blunt collector electrode the ion wind would be forced to travel downward around the craft, or from top to bottom, creating upward lift, using the "coanda effect". Here's a link that explains the coanda effect and the theory of flight better through actual simple experimentation. But in short when air is pulled downward to travel along the surface of the craft, by the flow of ions, the equal and opposite reaction of pulling air down also pulls the body of the craft up. The actual shape of the craft is only important for horizontal aerodymanic flight and has nothing to do with lift force. So the only lift force is from the coanda effect created by the ion wind which was itself created by a very powerful DC electrical generator, inside of the craft.
The following is from wikipedia under corona discharge:

Corona discharge usually involves two asymmetric electrodes; one highly curved (such as the tip of a needle, or a small diameter wire) and one of low curvature (such as a plate, or the ground). The high curvature ensures a high potential gradient around one electrode, for the generation of a plasma.

Moving the craft side to side is a different matter though. Which I don't have a solid theory for yet. But it may use the same ion wind technology, with highly charged movable capacitors located inside the craft. Used to offset the charge on one side of the craft making the air flow alter, or reconfigure around that spot, on that side, which would make that side move forward from a change in ion wind flow around it creating a pressure differential. But no solid math that works for that theory yet.

Also the source of power needs to be large which we currently don't have the energy technology for yet other than nuclear. It may be possible to have high voltage Alternating Current also, but because of the alternation it would only have pulses of ion flow. This may be useful if it is true that at high enough frequencies(20,000hertz or above) current then cannot flow through the human body, because of the human body acting as a resistor at that high of a frequency.

But also on the problem of high energies being dangerous to humans, as long as you're suspended in the air and your body doesn't touch the ground then your body won't conduct the energy to the ground and therefor no electric shock. The power line maintenance crews know this trick, and use it all the time(See: "High voltage" under "power lines", on wiki). So always jump onto highly charged objects to not be touching the ground at the same time as you're touching the charged vehicle or object.

Also in making the craft one solid seemless peice of metal for no moving parts or chance of breaking and also for aerodynamics, you would still need some way of entry into the craft. Superfluidity to go straight through the walls of the craft would work, but has never been substantiated as a real technology yet. But suposedly high enough electrical charge mimics the same properties of a plasma(high amount of electrons) and maybe even superfluidity as well. It's just an unsubstantiated hypothesis at this point though.

I do know that at high enough voltages though you get an effect that mimics superconductivity, with very low electrical loss. Because at high voltages the electrons have high potential energy and are static charges and therefore since they are non-moving electrons they have less wire to run into and get resistance from. But then of course it may be releasing that stored energy in the form of photons from the ambient glow that high voltages naturally create. By the way that's how you light the inside of the craft, in order to never have to replace lightbulbs. I call this effect "spontaneous emission".

I used to think that high (+/-)static charges were the same as gravity and anti-gravity, because they both share so many similar characteristics, but now that I have the above verifiable theory, I no longer think that anti-gravity is involved with UFO's, and instead think that it is ion wind. But for space travel they have to use something different, which I no longer have a good theory for. Even though static electricity still shares most of the same physical properties as gravity. There's just no solid evidence or theory for anti-gravity yet. So for now it anti-gravity is still an unsubstantiated hypothesis for space flight.

The only substantiated UFO picture that I've ever heard of is the one that was on the cover of time magazine in the 50's and still cannot be disproved or disputed. It was called the mcminnville photos, so that is the design of craft that I got this theory from. Also on wiki.

New Cancer Screening Technique (Unfinished Idea)

If I do become a doctor which I now want to do I might see if this idea is worth entertaining.
The problem with cancer screening is first that it has to be cost effective and those forms of screening are usually invasive(breast/prostate) and ineffective for some types of cancer(such as medical imaging of lung cancer legions).
The best way to cure cancer at the moment is to catch it early and to use modern chemotherapy and radiation to kill it. So to catch it early will save a lot of lives.
So me as an inventor, I like to find solutions to a problem.
I was thinking if you used:

Monoclonal antibody therapy is another strategy in which the therapeutic agent is an antibody which specifically binds to a protein on the surface of the cancer cells
-This quoted from wiki under "Cancer"

And combined it with a easily detectable material, which is also very cheaply produced and detected. Then you would give someone the detectable substance which is attached to the antibodies and introduce them into the blood stream. Most likely being a cheap and detectable solid(nano-sized, and sphere shaped) which is then coated with the antibodies, or peptides(also being cheap).
Take the pill filled with this material the night before and in the morning see the doctor and it will have spread throughout the body attaching to anything cancerous. Then you run through the full body scanning machine where it takes a quick picture and gives absolutely positive or absolutely negative results. Then you're done with your check-up.
This would be done maybe once a year for early diagnosis of all kinds of cancer. But may need different types of antibodies for different types of cancer proteins. Which may be a problem if we never find all of the antibody types for all of the types of cancerous proteins. And another problem is of you can't get the antibody particles to the cancer, from maybe blood flow not carrying the particles to that location.
The detector would actually probably be the most complex part of this idea because it has to detect very small anomalies trough the body tissue. maybe if the substance were metal it could be detected with a modified x-ray machine that ignored most organic tissue such as bones.
But Both the type of detector and the type of material to be detected are still up in the air.


Also research: Jellyfish green fluorescent proteins combined into a mammals DNA to make the animals skin luminescent under ultraviolet light.(It works also)
Also research: The new technique that uses the same metal particles surrounded by antibodies, but instead uses microwaves to then kill the cancer cells. And is now supposedly doing animal trials. Called the "Kanzius machine"
But in the end the ealier you get to the cancer the better no matter what the treatment. Also it's always less invasive for smaller tumors.

Artificial Aquifer

An idea for a completely sterile cistern that is ten or so feet under ground where no bacteria can grow, that may collect rain water as it seeps through the ground and into a silicone bowl that was filled with sterilized stones(with room between the stones for water to fill) and which was then covered with sterile pebbles and sterile sand. But this is an untested theory. Even though it may work very well, and maybe even last forever and be effective forever, as long as bacteria or mold didn't get into the cistern somehow. The scenario being, if bacteria got through the 10 or so feet of sand filtering, or as backwash through the connected water collection plumbing.
The stones would be sterilized with chlorine and then left to dry, and the deeply dug sand would be dug in layers and each layer dug into separate sterile piles with a newly cleaned shovel for each pile for most predictable sterilization levels.
And the water would be collected from the underground cistern through a pipe or straw or some other better and easier to install technology. This cistern would be located right next to the house for ease of collection instead of going to the store for jugs of water.
This would essentially try to copy the exact same function as modern aquifers, which are everywhere in Florida already. For a do it yourself way of getting limitless fresh water anywhere except in the coldest regions.
This idea may never be able to be improved upon for the cause of infinite, free, fresh drinking water. If the theory is someday proven correct, probably by me if nobody else tests it.
