What ancients did for us - The INDIANS 2/6

July 22, 2008

Archeology has always intrigued me. About 4,500 years ago in present day Pakistan, the Harappan civilization (3,000–1,500 BCE) built what’s thought to be a remarkably advanced, extensive city built on a grid system, of some 30,000 people, totally unheard of before the Roman Empire 2,500 years later.

In this ancient planned city, homes had their own wells, drains and toilets, complete with an underground sewer system comprising of earthenware pipes, a first it seems on our planet. They also had developed an advanced method of casting intricate Bronze statues.

Dentists Discover YOUR Toothpaste & Drinking Water is Toxic

I have little doubt that the increases in cancers, tumors, asthma and a host of other malaise is a result of the chemicals; mostly petroleum based, which are being inflicted upon us.

Regarding fluoridation of our water, it is, along with vaccines; also viewed with suspicions by many, it’s one of the few areas where the government and more particularly big business, have supported their use for ‘our’ benefits.

Below is an extract from Nexus Magazine

“Repeated doses of infinitesimal amounts of fluoride will in time reduce an individual’s power to resist domination by slowly poisoning and narcotizing a certain area of the brain and will thus make him submissive to the will of those who wish to govern him. “Both the Germans and the Russians added sodium fluoride to the drinking water of prisoners of war to make them stupid and docile.”

At 40 million pounds (about 80 million USD or 50.5 million EUR), gas turbine motors put out 17,000 hp, it weighs 95 tons and it will do 75 mph (121 kph)… it’s probably owned by a Banker or property developer. So next time you look at your diminishing returns on your mortgage, superannuation or investments, understand that the Sub prime mortgage crisis wasn’t bad for everyone. :)

Over the years I’ve seen or heard of many alternative motors with differing configurations, this one’s very impressive with regards to it’s power to weight (and size)… just take a look at the size and weight comparison between the two 800 hp motors. If you want to find out more, check out their website at the bottom of this post.

It’s sad that inventions such as this are more likely to get support, if they have a military application, rather than provide a service… say like helping the countless thousands of paraplegics.

How the Scuderi Air Hybrid Engine works

July 7, 2008


Video: YouTube

For years patents have been bought and shelved. For years the automobile manufactures have known peak oil is coming, and they’ve gone on building gas guzzlers, now they have run out of time and they have only a few half baked ideas and little else.

This Scuderi design may be the first of many, whether they will, or even can be implemented in time remains to be seen.

Wonders of modern science… will it never cease. All the same I’d like one, not sure what I’d use it for though.

Perhaps it could be used to design cars, where you would learn before you made them, that you cant replace a sump gasket in some cars, without removing the motor first. Or that you can’t physically get at that back spark plug… that would be handy I guess.
