    Hi Hyok, No, you will not find one that operates via free energy. That just ain't gonna' happen. Even my solor system does not operate free because periodically I have to change out a battery that has gone bad. But the system does save a lot on my electric bill. Sure, I had to make a substantial investment to buy the panels, regulators and batteries but hose are all paid for now from the savings on my electric bill. But even solar, after payback has been had there are days when the clouds prevent direct sunshine hitting the panels and the panels become very inefficient. Even wind power is not a cure-all because there are days where there is not enough wind to turn the turbines. Japan (either Honda or Toyota) is working on a hydrogen vehicle but I have not heard anything recently regarding progress. There is light ahead because soon the world oil companies won't have as much control of the economy as they have had in the past. Be well!
  2. Nikola Tesla

    Yes, I saw an investigative report on that a couple years ago. And when they recalled all the cars they stopped all research and development of electric vehicles (GM). Be well!
  3. Discussion topics.

    Hi Fox, Yes, I am sure the kids prefer that you lead. Give them time though and try to pick up on when they are ready to lead. Yeah, your age should not be a problem with them. I will say that I am impressed that, at your age, you are willing to give of yourself to others. Be well!

    Really nice. I noticed that he used lead-acid batteries. If he can get his hands on some lithium-ion batteries it will reduce the weight substantially, have more available power (current flow) and faster recharge time. Saw a short segment on TV a few weeks ago where someone had built an electric dirt bike and took it out to compete with one of the top dikers in the country. The electric lost but not by much. Sadly, IMO, the Japanese are far ahead of the Americans with development of electric cars. But this is the way to go, IMO, if the vehicle is to be used primarily for innner-city driving and short runs. Be well!

    Hehehe. You wouldn't last very long around me. I poke back. Yes, indeed, we need learn how to make benefit during our times of peace (nice) and quiet. Be well!

    Well, there is an electric car named in his honor: http://www.teslamotors.com/ Be well!
  8. Discussion topics.

    Hi Fox, My only suggestion would be to let them pick a subject for the next get-together, you do the necessary research so that you can guide the discussions but allow them to feed the discussions. I don't know what your age is but you may have forgotten what it is like to be 14 - 16 years old. And besides, cultures change over time. Best Wishes! Be well!
  9. Tao Te Ching; SotGF revelations

    Hi Findley, Very nice so far. I don't have, to this point, any problem whith what you have posted except that I dan't take kindly to the way you portray the "Yang" state (the Manifest) as the 'state of dying'. Afterall, it is only because of our presence in the Manifest that we are able to experience the Mystery (the "Yin" state). It has always been in my mind that the space between Heaven and Earth (Tao and the Manifest) is Mystery, or as you are portraying it, "Yin". This is because, in my mind, Mystery is the source of all Manifest and it is the place of return from the Manifest. (Mystery equals infinate potential.) Very nice work though. Please continue. Be well!

    Hi Winpro07, Okay, could we say that you are undergoing physiological changes partially due to your diet? I found out a number of years ago that excess salt is really bad for me. I never add salt to anything although I will add garlic as a replacement at times. I think I remember that the forties are the age of change in most men. Anyhow, it sounds like you are learning to deal with your changes. Be well!
  11. Parts of the brain

    What can I say? The second video is truely excellent! Be well!
  12. Parts of the brain

    Okay Folks, I just watch the first video. I have no arguement with the facts that were presented however, I have a really big problem with how the facts were misrepresented to cause us to think the way they want us to think. Will watch the second one in a minute. Be well!
  13. Chi effects

    Okay. I assume you are a guy. If you are between your late teens and late twenties this is the way you are supposed to be. Well, except for the infrared light stuff which I have no knowledge of. Yes, it is possible to control our heart and respiration rates so that we either generate more, or less, heat (energy). I don't know about any such spontaneous events. I do know that we can control and center our Chi but that is a conscious affair. Just to be safe, make sure you do not have some form of fever. Be well!

    Sorry. It was supposed to be funny. Be well!
  15. What are you listening to?

    Yes, that is sweet. I wanted to give the sweet goddess an embrace but she wouldn't materialize for me. Oh well. Ihave been getting some Bluegrass Music ready to put on CD today. Be well!

    How much did you say you were smoking now? Be well!
  17. Chi effects

    Not to worry. As long as I am here there are not going to be any miracles nor any supernatural events. Be well!
  18. Chi effects

    Ah! We are going to discuss another subject. Okay. Oh, Golly Gee!!! Of course I notice gravity. Hehehe. Else I would be lost in space. And the law (small 'l') of attraction exists although I have never seen a good, logical explanation for it. (Nowadays I would attribute it to Chi.) Yes, we (our body) radiates energy; some radiate more than others; some are more capable of percieving this energy than others. That goes along with your personal capacities and capabilities. (No, Dear, we are not all created equal.) So are you thinking that perhaps your energy radiation is somehow being centered without you being conscious of this centering? Be well!

    I can go no further. It was fun. Be well!

    Hi Winpro07, Okay. Too bad I can't make a direct observation. Oh well. Maybe you excrete a corrosive chemical through your sweat? Yes, magnetic fields do effect us on a regular basis. More often than not though the effect is so minimal that we never really notice it. I doubt that magnetism would be the cause especially in effecting cotton clothing. Don't look for something supernatural. There never has been a supernatural event nor will there ever be. (Okay, no miracles either.) From what you said it sounds like the clothes in question are all cotton. There are microscopic organisms that eat cotton. Anyhow, if you can't find the cause (yes, there is a definable cause) then maybe you should consider buying only synthetic clothes. Be well!

    Okay. I don't believe in miracles or stuff like that so I would look for a logical explanation. Whoever does your laundry is using too much bleach. (I have had experience with that as I do my own laundry.) Be well!
  22. The Chicken or the Egg?

    Well, lucky me! I once again get to agree with Vajrahridaya. Be well! Edited to add: And a nice post from Dwai above.

    Hi Nodoubt, Welcome! May you enjoy your time here. Be well!
  24. It is time.........................

    I used to ride a Harley (1974 Sportster). Don't ride any more. I haven't been to Sturgis but I have been to the Daytona event. I won't be going but I wish you a happy time if you are able to make it. Be well!
  25. Bonjour

    Hi Naziri, Welcome! May you enjoy your time here. (And don't get lost this time, Okay?) Be well!
