07/01/09 - Cadillac World Thorium Fuel Concept
Tthe Cadillac World Thorium Fuel concept. Otherwise known as the Cadillac WTF. Created by Loren Kulesus, everything about the WTF has been created to last 100 years without maintenance. That's the reason for the element number ninety, thorium: to act as a nuclear fuel powering batteries that would power the car. Elsewhere, every major system is redundant in case of a failure. And the wheels don't have individual tires - in fact, what's located at each corner is one combined unit made up of six individual wheels. That gives you 24 wheels in total, and each wheel has its own induction motor. Said Kulesus, "The vehicle would require the tires to be adjusted every five years, but no material would need to be added or subtracted." - Source

07/01/09 - Ford Nucleon
The Ford Nucleon was a nuclear-powered concept car developed by Ford Motor Company in 1958. The design did not include an internal-combustion engine, rather, the vehicle was to be powered by a small nuclear reactor in the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle featured a power capsule suspended between twin booms at the rear. The capsule, which would contain a radioactive core for motive power, was designed to be easily interchangeable, according to the performance needs and the distances to be travelled. The passenger compartment of the Nucleon featured a one-piece, pillar-less windscreen and compound rear window, and was topped by a cantilever roof. There were air intakes at the leading edge of the roof and at the base of its supports. An extreme cab-forward style provided more protection to the driver and passengers from the reactor in the rear. Some pictures show the car with tailfins sweeping up from the rear fenders. The drive train would be integral to the power module, and electronic torque converters would take the place of the drive-train used at the time. It was said that cars like the Nucleon would be able to travel 8000 km (5,000 miles) or more, depending on the size of the core, without recharging. At the end of the core's life, it would be taken to a charging station, which research designers envisioned as largely replacing gas stations. The car was never built and never went into production, but it remains an icon of the Atomic Age of the 1950s, when concerns and dangers such as radiation poisoning, nuclear waste and the possibility of nuclear meltdown were not completely understood or acknowledged. - Source

07/01/09 - Glowing Films Reveal Traces Of Explosives
New spray-on films developed by UC San Diego chemists will be the basis of portable devices that can quickly reveal trace amounts of nitrogen-based explosives. Contaminated fingerprints leave dark shadows on the films, which glow blue under ultraviolet light. One of the films can distinguish between different classes of explosive chemicals, a property that could provide evidence to help solve a crime, or prevent one. A recent episode of CSI: Miami featured the technology, which linked fingerprints left on a video camera to a bomb used in a bank heist, revealing the motive for the robbery. In real life, the security systems company RedXDefense has developed a portable kit based on the technology that security officers could use with minimal training. - Source

07/01/09 - Super-sensitive Explosives Detector
Using a laser and a device that converts reflected light into sound, researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory can detect explosives at distances exceeding 20 yards. The method is a variation of photoacoustic spectroscopy but overcomes a number of problems associated with this technique originally demonstrated by Alexander Graham Bell in the late 1880s. The technique involves illuminating the target sample with an eye-safe pulsed light source and allowing the scattered light to be detected by a quartz crystal tuning fork. "We match the pulse frequency of the illuminating light with the mechanical resonant frequency of the quartz crystal tuning fork, generating acoustic waves at the tuning fork's air-surface interface," said Charles Van Neste of ORNL's Biosciences Division. "This produces pressures that drive the tuning fork into resonance." The amplitude of this vibration is proportional to the intensity of the scattered light beam falling on the tuning fork, which because of the nature of quartz creates a piezoelectric voltage. For their experiments, researchers used tributyl phosphate and three explosives - cyclotrimethylenetrinitromine, trinitrotoluene, commonly known as TNT, and pentaerythritol tetranitrate. They were able to detect trace residues with lasers 100 times less powerful than those of competing technologies. While the researchers have been able to detect explosives at 20 meters, using larger collection mirrors and stronger illumination sources, they believe they can achieve detection at distances approaching 100 meters. - Source

06/30/09 - Grains of Sand Reveal Possible Fifth State of Matter
Dilatant - increasing in viscosity and setting to a solid as a result of deformation by expansion, pressure, or agitation. / In the formation of droplets in a stream of falling sand, scientists have witnessed a dynamic that points beyond the boundaries of traditional physics, and may represent one aspect of a fifth state of matter. The droplets formed because of instabilities in the subtle atomic forces that attract sand grains to each other. Something similar happens to water falling from a faucet, but the forces acting on those molecules are 100,000 times stronger. Measurements of this phenomena, published Wednesday in Nature, overturn the previous explanation for sand droplets — that grains stick to each other after colliding — and quantify what’s called an “ultralow-surface-tension regime.” It’s entirely new territory for researchers, and just one of many dynamics governing the behavior of granular materials, which for reasons unknown to science act sometimes as solids, or liquids, or gases — or something in-between. “You walk on the beach, and the sand supports your weight. Pick up a handful, and it runs through your fingers, like a liquid. But you can’t walk on water,” said Jaeger. “In the top of an hourglass, sand is this strange solid. It’s at the verge of being a solid; it flows through the middle as something like a liquid, and then it’s a solid again,” he said. Since the early 1990s, Jaeger has treated granularity as both a form of matter unto itself and a model for investigating the dynamics of types of matter, as though molecules could be seen by a naked eye. Jaeger also sees in granularity a potentially universal dynamic, reflected in everything from highway traffic to crowd patterns to ecosystem function. “You have many interacting particles. Energy is put in, sometimes they get stuck, and sometimes it flows,” said Jaeger. “If it flows, what properties does it have? With many interacting players, that behavior is typically very complex and crosses between solid- and liquid-like behavior.” - Source.

06/30/09 - BabyGlow monitors temperature
Chris Ebejer, 42, who runs the Melford Inn, said he had a eureka moment six years ago when he woke up on the couch one morning and saw a documentary about babies not being able to regulate their body temperature. In a flash of inspiration the father of one decided he would design a baby suit that changed colour when the baby's temperature went up. And now the pint pulling part-time scientist will soon see his 'Babyglow' invention flying out of production plants around the world at more than a million a month. The suit will change colour at the first sign of meningitis and it could have a huge impact on cot death numbers and a number of other baby related illnesses." The suit works by responding to the slightest changes in body temperature which then react with molecules in the cotton. The £20 garments, which come in pink, blue and green change to white when a baby's temperature rises above 98F (37C). - Source

06/30/09 - The Best Protection: Trade Secret or Patent?
When determining how to protect intellectual property (IP), it can be difficult to decide between trade secrets and patents. To best understand the options, it is useful to recognize the differences between trade secrets and patents, the varying legal and business factors that come into play, and the remedies available should a third party misuse protected IP. A trade secret is created when a company identifies valuable information and makes reasonable efforts to protect it. Protection begins immediately and lasts indefinitely unless the information is publicly disclosed. Securing trade secrets is possible without completing an application or any formal governmental examination. However, there are costs associated with keeping information secret. Importantly, unlike a patent, owning a trade secret does not come with exclusive rights. While the owner can take action against third parties who misappropriate the secret, the owner has no recourse if a third party independently invents the information, discovers the information through reverse engineering, or obtains the information due to accidental disclosure. Once any of these events occurs, the owner loses his or her property rights in the secret. - Source

06/30/09 - New and purely Dutch: cooling computers with a disc
A massive disc of perforated aluminium, 6 metres wide, can as of today serve as a cooling agent for data centres. Cooling large server rooms takes a lot of energy and therefore produces a lot of CO2. But now a 100-percent Dutch invention called 'KyotoCooling' can save both money and the environment. In the test facility of KyotoCooling in Amersfoort, hundreds of computers are running simultaneously. The small company doesn't need that much computing power, all these machines only serve to demonstrate the working principle of the new cooling system. Just allowing the computers to heat up is not an option. The temperature in big data centres would soar so quickly that the equipment would break down immediately. Simply blowing outside air in the server rooms also doesn't work. It contains far too much dust, pollution and moisture for the sensitive machinery. This is why before today huge pumps, compressors and thousands of litres of cooling fluid were used to ensure the electronic super brains of the world were all kept in an old-fashioned fridge. A very large fridge that is. Corrugated cardboard - KyotoCooling is totally different. The cooling agent is no longer a fluid, but instead a large aluminium disc containing thousands of small channels. While looking straight down at the surface of the disc it appears to be of a big role of corrugated cardboard. You simply look straight through. This disc slowly revolves while one half extends into a hot room (this is where fans suck in the heated air from the server room) - the other half is in the cool outside air. The thousands of channels in the aluminium allow the metal to heat up swiftly, but also to get rid of the heat just as fast. In this way the metal disc 'turns' the coolness inside, and at the same time the heat outside. And all this without energy-wasting compressors, and without outside air entering the server room. And indeed the savings are impressive: This type of cooling needs up to 60 percent less electricity and the same goes for the emissions. - Source

06/30/09 - Free Energy 400 Billion Dollar Secret (Youtube Video)
Alternative oil solution that is available now. It cost the United States 400 billion dollars to import oil "last year", seems a well rounded number given the barrels of oil imported and the 2007 price of oil. It has consistently, for many years, been the stated goal of the United States to reduce or eliminate its dependence on foreign oil, therefore, if any alternative energy source seems capable of achieving that goal, it should be pursued with the utmost vigor. We have here in the United States the only method known to man which can take any non-nuclear material containing carbon,and using this process, deliver a diesel quality fuel oil in two short hours! Despite the promise inherent in this system to not only alleviate our dependence on foreign oil, but to do so while contributing to a major degree in cleaning the environment. / (Thanks Peter qbn for the headsup. - JWD) - Source

06/30/09 - Xeros 'Waterless' Washing Machine
The new 'Waterless' washing machine called the 'Xeros' (meaning dry in Greek) uses nylon beads along with a tiny amount of water and detergent to complete a wash. The beads absorb the water after it has dissolved dirt and draws it in to the centre of the bead. The washing machine retracts the beads at the end of the cycle, leaving only clean washing to remove. The beads will be re-usable for up to 6 months or for approximately 100 loads. This new invention is big in saving energy, water and money and will hopefully be available in the UK after it has been launched in the US. Energy is also saved as the clothes are virtually dry when the cycle ends and cuts the need for a high energy using tumble dryer. The American inventors clim that the Xeros saves 40% of carbon emissions over regular washing and drying. - Source

06/30/09 - Rental business can guarantee regular income flow after retirement
There comes a time in life when there will be little strength for activities that consume much energy. During that period, the only option is to fall back on what has been acquired during active working years to meet basic life needs. Finance experts say no amount of savings can take care of retirement, except if there are income flows, no matter how little. Entrepreneur.about.com suggests that one could arrange for passive income means which could provide income, with less work by its owner. It describes passive income as “income that does not require your direct involvement”. And some kinds of passive income include: owning rental property, royalties on an invention or creative work, and network marketing. “If you want to earn more, work less, and have a decent retirement, you’re going to have to start creating income streams that do not require your direct involvement,” it says. According to the personal finance experts, whether you’re just starting your business, or you’ve been running it for a while, the sooner you start thinking about shifting your business model to create more passive income, the sooner you can achieve personal and financial freedom. - Source

06/30/09 - Eliot man touts low-wind turbine
Ben Brickett of Eliot, Maine, demonstrates his patent-pending, variable-force generator wind turbine that can operate with only a 5 mph wind. The patent-pending turbine has caught the attention of University of New Hampshire scientists, who are working with Brickett on the blade design. And this week, he will receive a visit from University of Maine engineering professor Habib Dagher, who has put UM on the map for biomass technology and is consulting with the state on off-shore wind turbines. The reason for the interest? If the turbine is as good as it seems, as initial testing has proven it to be, it could be the salvation for residential wind turbines in such wind-skittish places as New England. Taking a bow to a Frank Sinatra classic, Brickett said, "If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere." I am not going to pretend I completely understand the technology, but it all begins and ends with the generator. In most turbines, the generator is in a gear box. In Brickett's turbine, the generator is in the blade system. It's called a variable force generator, and the bottom line is that it can produce usable energy when the winds are as low as 5 mph and as high as 30 mph or more. That's the other part of it, by the way. Brickett says the technology is such that it will perform just as well in high wind conditions. Hence Dagher's interest, as Maine looks to off-shore wind production. And UNH professor Kenneth Baldwin, who is heading a tidal turbine test site in the Piscataqua, is also interested. With this technology, Brickett says, there's no limit to the number of blades that can be installed in the turbine, which can be custom made to each customer's needs. - Source

06/30/09 - UA scientist sees sun power in new light
University of Arizona scientist Roger Angel thinks big, starts small and works with cheap materials. His latest mission — nothing less than saving the planet from global warming — involves some inexpensive glass, a discarded satellite dish and a battery-powered fan he found at Walgreens. Now Angel has engaged his brain on a problem that may exceed even his grasp. "You deal in probabilities," said Angel. "I think there is some probability that what we're doing might be quite significant." Photovoltaic problems There are three problems with photovoltaic power. It is expensive; it can't be efficiently stored for use when the sun isn't shining; and it can't easily be transmitted from sunny places to cloudy places. Angel says U.S. power needs could be met by 10 intracontinental high-voltage DC transmission lines hooked up to sun farms in the Southwest. The storage problem would require a little engineering project to build two lakes slightly smaller than Lake Mead. Pump water up when the sun is shining and pass it back down through hydroelectric turbines at night. He will leave those questions to others. "Life is too short to solve all our problems, and I don't have a particular competence in storage or transmission," he said in a recent interview. Instead, he'll work on the problem his background has prepared him to solve. The Angel solution Angel plans to build mirrors to focus the power of 1,000 suns on "optical gadgets" that will produce electricity at twice the efficiency of conventional solar panels and at a fraction of the cost. He has snared about $2 million in grants so far. He has formed a company called REhnu to lure venture capital to match federal Energy Department grants he is seeking. He has applied for three patents on the invention and the process for manufacturing the mirrors. He plans to build a prototype 20-kilowatt system by 2011. The first one might take about $5 million to develop, but its manufactured cost must be closer to $20,000 in order to be competitive with the cheapest forms of power generation. "A buck a watt is the target," he said. "If you want to have the planet stop burning carbon, just get to the point where renewables are cheaper than burning fossil fuels. Do that and you need to do nothing more," he said. Economics will justify building the vast fields of reflectors and the glass factories needed to produce them. For the solar project, he's not starting from scratch. He has a facility he has built up over the past three decades and a team of technical experts. "None of what I do," he said, "is possible without these people, this community and this institution." The frame for his solar reflectors, for example, is being fabricated by the team that built the infrastructure for the Large Binocular Telescope on Mount Graham. It needs to be as light as possible to save money on steel but withstand 90-mph winds. The reflectors, though made cheaply with more generous tolerances, will employ the optical principles of the best telescopes and initially be built by the same people who build the lab's multi-million-dollar mirrors. The "solar engines" at which the reflectors will be aimed were originally developed for the space program. The mostly germanium "multi-junction" cells generate as much electricity as a silicon panel 500 times larger. The ones he can buy off the shelf today are up to 40 percent efficient, Angel said — good enough for now, though he is collaborating with a researcher at Arizona State University on refinements. - Source

06/30/09 - Wheel Hub Motor wins Prize, Could Save Million of Gallons of Fuel Everyday
Dr. Charles Perry’s newest patent, which is pending, potentially could save America 120 million gallons of fuel daily. The invention has several names – wheel hub motor, Plug-in Hybrid Retrofit Kit or “Machine for Augmentation, Storage and Conservation of Vehicle Motive Energy (the one submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office) – and it recently gained statewide notoriety. With 80 percent of Americans driving an average of 28 miles per day in their vehicles, Perry said the wheel hub motor (in hybrid mode) would double drivers’ gas mileage, and that it mainly would be an around-town function, not for highway driving. He said once it becomes mass-produced, the target consumer installation cost would be $3,000 to $5,000. “Our first goal is to build a demonstration of a working prototype,” Perry said. “Then, working with the state of Tennessee, we’d like to build one dozen to two dozen prototypes. We’d like to put them on state vehicles to get data. Then we’d look at a capital investment. Ultimately, Palmer Labs would like to build a facility that would create 2,000 jobs.” - Source

06/30/09 - Skeeter Light
Ms McKenzie, who lives in Clydach, has spent the past five years developing Vapalight – an air freshening system that uses the heat from a specifically designed low-energy bulb to thermally vaporise scent and emit the fragrance into the atmosphere. The technologically-advanced porous media that retains and disperses the chemicals or oils is easily inserted into the Vapalight low-energy bulb by means of the retention slot in the bulbs and can easily be interchanged as there are six scents in the range including an insecticide and decongestant. Ms McKenzie has recently been working with the UN’s World of Hope International organisation to adapt the system for use with an organic insecticide – pyrethrum – which is extracted from chrysanthemums and is highly-effective in killing mosquitoes. The system and substance has been scientifically tested and accredited by i2L Insect Investigations in Cardiff and reported to have a 98% success rate. Ms McKenzie is also developing a patented range of candles using pyrethrum for use in dwellings that have little or no access to power supplies and will be testing both applications in Ghana to check their effectiveness. - Source

06/30/09 - Oculis eye-tracking software protects screens from 'shoulder surfers'
18 months after he launched Oculis Labs Inc., Anderson has three pending patents and two products ready to be pushed into the market by his four-person company in Owings Mills. Venture capital firms and angel investors are courting him -- even in the toughest start-up investment climate in a decade. Chameleon uses gaze-tracking software and camera equipment to track an authorized reader's eyes to show only that one person the correct text. After a 15-second calibration period where the software essentially "learns" the viewer's gaze patterns, anyone looking over that user's shoulder just sees dummy text that randomly and constantly changes. To tap the broader consumer market, Anderson built a more consumer-friendly version called PrivateEye, which can work with a simple Web cam. The software blurs a user's monitor when he or she turns away. It also detects other faces in the background, and a small video screen pops up to alert the user that someone is looking at their screen. "There've been inventions in the space of gaze-tracking. There've been inventions in the space of security. But nobody has put the two ideas together, as far as we know," Anderson said. The specialized equipment that tracks a viewer's eyes already exists and a number of manufacturers make such monitors. Anderson also found companies that make portable gaze-tracking equipment that are the size of a long, squat brick, and which can be positioned on a laptop or under a desktop monitor to track a user's eyes with his software. Looking to go even smaller, he's pursuing a partnership with a manufacturer of rugged, secure laptops to have Chameleon as a built-in feature that would be ideal in battlefield environments, where soldiers have to read classified orders without fear of someone spying over their shoulder. The technology would add roughly $1,000 to a highly-secure, rugged laptop that sells for about $6,000, according to Anderson. - Source

06/30/09 - $100 Laptop Becomes a $5 PC
The open-source education software developed for the "$100 laptop" can now be loaded onto a $5 USB stick to run aging PCs and Macs with a new interface and custom educational software. "What we are doing is taking a bunch of old machines that barely run Windows 2000, and turning them into something interesting and useful for essentially zero cost," says Walter Bender, former president of the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) project. "It becomes a whole new computer running off the USB key; we can breathe new life into millions of decrepit old machines." Bender left OLPC last year to found Sugar Labs, which promotes the open-source user interface, dubbed Sugar, and educational software originally developed at OLPC. Bender has dubbed the new effort Sugar on a Stick. The software can be downloaded for free from the Sugar Labs website as part of the new initiative, which will be announced at a conference in Berlin today. The Sugar interface was custom-designed for children. The new Sugar on a Stick download features 40 software programs, including core applications called Read, Write, Paint, and Etoys. Many other applications are available for download, most of which emphasize creative collaboration among children. The USB software can boot up an aging computer, or a netbook, and save data from any of the programs. In addition, Sugar-powered machines are designed to work with server software that can also be downloaded for free. This server software can be operated by a school and used to distribute content, collect homework, back up data, and filter access to the Internet. Once Sugar and the server software have been installed, two children using different computers can work on the same document at the same time, for example. The Sugar interface and related software have already been used by more than one million children, nearly all of them users of the original OLPC XO laptop. - Source

06/30/09 - Feathered fuel tank soaks up hydrogen
The gas tank of the future may be full of chicken feathers. Engineers have discovered a way to store large amounts of hydrogen fuel using carbonized downy fluff, which could help pave the way to clean, green cars. A practical hydrogen car has been elusive for decades. Before the announcement this week by University of Delaware engineers, a nonstop trip from Portland to Eugene in a hydrogen car would need a tank bigger than 100 gallons to store liquid or gaseous fuel, even under high pressure. Treated chicken feathers work like a sponge. They soak up large amounts of hydrogen and hold it in a small space so the tank can be a conventional size and the fuel won't need to held under dangerously high pressures. Hydrogen creates only water vapor when it burns, unlike gasoline that emits carbon dioxide, a culprit in climate change. / Scientists have long known that hydrogen sticks well to carbon surfaces. Research has focused on tiny nanotubes, in which sheets of carbon are rolled into a compact space. The problem is nanotubes are expensive: A 20-gallon tank of them can cost more than $1 million. Chicken feather fibers are mostly composed of keratin, a natural protein that forms strong, hollow tubes. The breakthrough moment came when researchers heated feathers to 700 degrees, causing a process called carbonization that created billions of tiny pores. They had found an ideal place to pack large amounts of hydrogen. The new feather-based material can be produced at a small fraction of carbon nanotubes' cost. A 20-gallon feather-based tank would be about $100. - Source

06/30/09 - Being Slightly Overweight May Lead To Longer Life
"Findings of a new study show that underweight people and those who are extremely obese die earlier than people of normal weight — but those who are only a little overweight actually live longer than people of normal weight. 'It's not surprising that extreme underweight and extreme obesity increase the risk of dying, but it is surprising that carrying a little extra weight may give people a longevity advantage,' said one of the coauthors of the study. 'It may be that a few extra pounds actually protect older people as their health declines, but that doesn't mean that people in the normal weight range should try to put on a few pounds.' The study examined the relationship between body mass index and death among 11,326 adults in Canada over a 12-year period. The study showed that underweight people were 70 percent more likely than people of normal weight to die, and extremely obese people were 36 percent more likely to die. But overweight individuals defined as a body mass index of 25 to 29.9 were 17 percent less likely to die than people of a normal weight defined as a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9. The relative risk for obese people was nearly the same as for people of normal weight. The authors controlled for factors such as age, sex, physical activity, and smoking. 'Overweight may not be the problem we thought it was,' said Dr. David H. Feeny, a senior investigator at Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research. 'Overweight was protective.'" - Source

I am currently using two of the easier methods in my own vehicle which normally gets 18-22 mpg and now gets between 28 and 32 mpg depending on driving conditions. A tank of gas for my 1996 Ford Ranger costs about $45.00 here so I am saving around $15-$20 PER TANK, without hurting my engine and with 'greener' emissions due to a cleaner burn! The techniques provided in this ebook begin with simple things you can do NOW to improve your mileage and lower your gas costs. - $15 eBook Download / Source to Buy

KeelyNet BBS Files w/bonus PDF of 'Keely and his Discoveries'
Finally, I've gotten around to compiling all the files (almost 1,000 - about 20MB and lots of work doing it) from the original KeelyNet BBS into a form you can easily navigate and read using your browser, ideally Firefox but it does work with IE. Most of these files are extremely targeted, interesting and informative, I had forgotten just how much but now you can have the complete organized, categorized set, not just sprinklings from around the web. They will keep you reading for weeks if not longer and give you clues and insights into many subjects and new ideas for investigation and research. IN ADDITION, I am including as a bonus gift, the book (in PDF form) that started it all for me, 'Keely and his Discoveries - Aerial Navigation' which includes the analysis of Keely's discoveries by Dr. Daniel G. Brinton. This 407 page eBook alone is worth the price of the KeelyNet BBS CD but it will give you some degree of understanding about what all Keely accomplished which is just now being rediscovered, but of course, without recognizing Keely as the original discoverer. Chapters include; Vibratory Sympathetic and Polar Flows, Vibratory Physics, Latent Force in Interstitial Spaces and much more. To give some idea of how Keely's discoveries are being slowly rediscovered in modern times, check out this Keely History. These two excellent bodies of information will be sent to you on CD. If alternative science intrigues and fascinates you, this CD is what you've been looking for... - Source

Shape Power - Dan Davidson's analysis of the mysterious pyramid energies, Keely's aether force, Reich's orgone energy, Schauberger's diamagnetic energy, plus a host of others, and shows how shape and materials interact with the universal aether to modify the aether into electromagnetic, gravitic, and various healing energies... - Shape Power Youtube

The Physics of the Primary State of Matter - published in the 1930s, Karl Schappeller described his Prime Mover, a 10-inch steel sphere with quarter-inch copper tubing coils. These were filled with a material not named specifically, but which is said to have hardened under the influence of direct current and a magnetic field [electro-rheological fluid]. With such polarization, it might be guessed to act like a dielectric capacitor and as a diode...

'The Evolution of Matter' and 'The Evolution of Forces' on CD
Years ago, I had been told by several people, that the US government frequently removes books they deem dangerous or 'sensitive' from libraries. Some are replaced with sections removed or rewritten so as to 'contain' information that should not be available to the public despite the authors intent. A key example was during the Manhattan Project when the US was trying to finalize research into atomic bombs. They removed any books that dealt with the subject and two of them were by Dr. Gustave Le Bon since they dealt with both energy and matter including radioactivity. I had been looking for these two books for many years and fortunately stumbled across two copies for which I paid about $40.00 each. I couldn't put down the books once I started reading them. Such a wealth of original discoveries, many not known or remembered today. / Page 88 - Without the ether there could be neither gravity, nor light, nor electricity, nor heat, nor anything, in a word, of which we have knowledge. The universe would be silent and dead, or would reveal itself in a form which we cannot even foresee. If one could construct a glass chamber from which the ether were to be entirely eliminated, heat and light could not pass through it. It would be absolutely dark, and probably gravitation would no longer act on the bodies within it. They would then have lost their weight. / Page 96-97 - A material vortex may be formed by any fluid, liquid or gaseous, turning round an axis, and by the fact of its rotation it describes spirals. The study of these vortices has been the object of important researches by different scholars, notably by Bjerkness and Weyher. They have shown that by them can be produced all the attractions and repulsions recognized in electricity, the deviations of the magnetic needle by currents, etc. These vortices are produced by the rapid rotation of a central rod furnished with pallets, or, more simply, of a sphere. Round this sphere gaseous currents are established, dissymetrical with regard to its equatorial plane, and the result is the attraction or repulsion of bodies brought near to it, according to the position given to them. It is even possible, as Weyher has proved, to compel these bodies to turn round the sphere as do the satellites of a planet without touching it. / Page 149 - "The problem of sending a pencil of parallel Hertzian waves to a distance possesses more than a theoretical interest. It is allowable to say that its solution would change the course of our civilization by rendering war impossible. The first physicist who realizes this discovery will be able to avail himself of the presence of an enemy's ironclads gathered together in a harbour to blow them up in a few minutes, from a distance of several kilometres, simply by directing on them a sheaf of electric radiations. On reaching the metal wires with which these vessels are nowadays honeycombed, this will excite an atmosphere of sparks which will at once explode the shells and torpedoes stored in their holds. With the same reflector, giving a pencil of parallel radiations, it would not be much more difficult to cause the explosion of the stores of powder and shells contained in a fortress, or in the artillery sparks of an army corps, and finally the metal cartridges of the soldiers. Science, which at first rendered wars so deadly, would then at length have rendered them impossible, and the relations between nations would have to be established on new bases." - Source
