> And the mason jar is where? I envisioned some kind of external hydrogen > tank that has plumbing and a pump/valve of some kind to feed the gas > into the "star". Is the jar your "tank"? How convenient is it to refill? The jar is pretty much the tank. As the star winds up, the hydrogen gas in it compresses into a dot in the center which makes room for more gas to put in or a vacuum would implode the jar. That little dot of hydrogen has enough mass to make gobs of energy for a very long time. For overkill I would leave a tank connected if only to terminate the air fittings. But that is not a concern now as I do not have the star yet in a sustainable form. I am just talking out of my ass, remember? This is likely only science fiction, right? > Yeah, but what about Ryan, who offered to beta test the system? Surely > he doesn't have a death wish... :) Gag! I would not turn this type of device loose in anyone's car except my own. And then I would probably leave it in my garage to recharge my car's batteries from it. Better yet, just have the many power utility companies all over the planet use their existing grids. Maybe the oil companies can use the energy to make a synthetic fossil fuel that burns clean until they wean everyone off of that sort of thing in favor of bottled hydrogen gas. There will always be a need for distribution. I'm still looking for a better way to make an energy storage system that cannot be made into a bomb. That's a tall order. I think the best bet is just to run everything on conventional hydrogen fuel cells. With the power that a morning star can generate, put electrodes in acidic water and watch it lyse the water. Hydrogen bubbles off of one electrode and oxygen from the other. Blow the oxygen into the atmosphere and bottle the hydrogen for everyone else to burn in their cars. The byproducts of this is plain water and heat. All energy problems solved. End of story. And beginning of what? {scoffs quietly} Just take it at face value. Its a good story. Nobody would ever buy it unless I go floating or do something biblicly gross like turn water into blood, move a mountian by faith alone, etc. I am not into cheap parlor tricks. Just a good story. Consider it a suplement to BTTF or whatever. I did do the equivelant of bump my head on a toilet like Doc Brown and thus got the idea for this device. I was 9 years old getting out of the shower toweling off going to my bedroom. I had previously eaten lots of corn beef & cabbage -- a bad combo for me cuz I dont digest cooked cabbage at all. My digestive system lacks the ability to make that enzyme. So it just farts out really rank. I never eat the stuff if I can possibly avoid it. Anyway, after spending too much time in a confined shower stall having to choke in my own farts, I wanted to save one to make a fart bomb to give my older sister. So when I got to my room wet & naked, I farted into this chrome plated plastic egg that was popular in the early 1970's for something like Sheer Energy brand panty hose. I farted into it, closed it up and left it on my dresser to give to my sister at a later time cuz she wasnt around. Then in my distraction I notice it several days later still on my dresser. I pick it up and notice that the gasses leaked out breaching the walnut finish on this nice antique dresser. I figured that if it leaked out that much doing that kind of damage then surely by now the egg was empty. So I open it just enought to poke my nose in. Oh, big mistake. Talk about sensory overload! Ever hear,feel or see an odor? I thought my head exploded. But at that instant I came up with a concept I called Universal Periodicity. It has to do with the shape of extremely large objects filling outerspace. From that I eventually figured out the dynamics of vortex circulations. So like Doc Brown I knocked my head on a toilet. No bandage like in the movie. Instead the injury was internal. :-) Maybe I'll get around to posting some kind of cool levitation video on youtube or similar, but people would only call it trickery, I suppose. > My question was supposed to be more like, "what safety measures are/will > be built into this system?" Eh, I suppose safety means just to keep it out of the wrong hands... but these matters are out of my hands anyway, per se. I just do what I am told to do by ... Who? I'm still working on that seemingly silly revelation story. I find it hard to get my head around. I had read that scripture times before and it went right over my head. Then one day I read it and thought that such a person has to be someone someday. I'm tired of waiting. I think I see how it works, and I dont see anyone else doing it. I want it done, so I'm making it happen. But to think that I could be someone mentioned as a specific individual in the Bible of all places -- somewhere way in the back -- but still in that book. Strange. Very strange. Good story. I like stories. Now wasnt that entertaining? Time to think about something else for a while. I'm bored of these thoughts. I think I'll go find some dinner... > Interesting. I guess most physics books assume that you don't have a > "morning star reactor" in your backyard, so I didn't know that. I'm not > familiar with this term. Is there somewhere I can find more info on this? Yeah, read the book of Revelation starting at Chapter 2, verses 26 thru 28. I like the King James version best. Some translations call it an iron rod. Some call it an iron scepter. I think "septer" is a better description. And morning star? That nails it right thru the thumbs. > So, tell me if I have this right: > > You've got a pair of iron rings (soon-to-be-superconductors) attached to > arms on a shaft, driven by a DC motor.

Can you remind me > again how you get it all started? You got it. Except they are wave guides and not rings. There is a lot of other stuff associated with it and all, cathode rays & such are a part of it like old television picture tubes. But once it is running then it can be used to induce room temperature superconductivity into iron rings or iron rolls of wire. It doesnt seem to keep running in other types of wire except maybe nickel & cobalt. But where the hell do I get nickel & cobalt wire? I have had to come up with too much weird stuff totally from scratch. It is quite a challenge coming up with all this crap on a beer budget -- discarded used car parts & such. Funny story, right? Clever. Idiot. Enough. If this were the DML they would never let such a thread get started -- let alone get this far. Have I made a total ass out of myself yet? I could speak volumes more about the rest of the revelations, but why should I spoil the surprise? I was just over at www.coralcastle.com and noticed the entire message base was wiped out. That solves many problems. I dont remember all that I said there in the past. It was interesting tho. Okay, I will shut up for a while now. I need something else to think about. I have this Rubics cube I play with... And a formula I'm working on for prime numbers, etc. Walt Yahoo!
