What the heck. I should be sleeping already, but this The Last Circle book has lots of intriguing snippets, and it's probably worth reading the whole thing. You can get a one-page version here: http://www.lycaeum.org/books/books/last_circle/circle!.htm I'm following the references from this conversa...

Doug Sweet's work seems to revolve around Einstein "Spacetime" and Riemann Quaternions, but Einstein's Unified Field Theory also involved unifying gravity with electromagnetism and not electrostatic energy. Harold Aspden has been leaning towards the electrostatic nature of gravity as an e...

Datadump ahoy! "The so-called drug operation broken up in Washington State was an electrohydrodynamic mining operation claimed Gunderson, using Townsend Brown technology. A videotape viewed by this journalist revealed metallic powders and apparent processes unrelated to drug manufacture. Indeed...

And I saw this: Another discussion will detail the process for generating and storing extremely high voltage power in the form of plasmoids... (or self-containing plasmas), voltage transforming capacitors, and the rudiments of wireless broadcast of electricity to users around the entire planet... t...

Kevin, if at first you don't succeed.

Definitely!

But didn't Heaviside edit the Quaternion Equations because he said they were not necessary to understanding the electromagnetics and they were too complex to deal with? Not that I understand the first thing about Heaviside's equations, but quaternions fascinate me in their own right (Hamilton prett...

My personal reaction to that article is much like Elizabeth's. I think there are a lot of true facts in it, coloured by a particular viewpoint which puts the worst suspicion on everything. And ascribes too much power to a single all-powerful Plan for World Domination. In my experience, even the smal...

Still on a tangent, I wonder who Beebe Bourne was. http://www.musicdish.com/mag/index.php3?id=10621 NMPA & HFA Mourn Passing Of Beebe Bourne On November 1, 2005 By: Mi2N 2005-11-19 The National Music Publishers Association (NMPA) and The Harry Fox Agency (HFA) are greatly saddened to announce th...

Am I wrong in assuming that the only customer legally for uranium was the United States government? I think that I read that somewhere. If that is so..... and the Caroline Group was doing something really secret ( inside their own organization) and they needed uranium for some part of the process o...

Answering my own De Seversky question, from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeSeversky Alexander Nikolaievich Prokofiev de Seversky (also Prokofiev-Seversky or DeSeversky), (June 7, 1894 – August 24, 1974) was a Russian-American aviation pioneer, inventor, and influential advocate of strateg...

Thinking about Major Alexander de Seversky's Ionocraft. http://www.rexresearch.com/desev/desev.htm I know he's been discussed here before, but as far as I can tell from the search function, mostly in terms of the technology of the Ionocraft and its similarity to the Lifter, and difference from the t...

Here's Stan Deyo's chapter 'Electro-Dynamic Propulsion' from Cosmic Conspiracy: http://au.geocities.com/psyberplasmic/ccX-6.html 9. Partially due to hot spots in the shell circuit, and 'laminar fluid lock' at the boundary layer on the surface-to-fluid interface, a pulse rate has to be induced into t...

What a beautiful song. Seems appropriate to the Avalon years.

Well ..... not quite ... though if Richard Branson wanted to completely finance any moon rocket we might have in mind I am sure that an appropriate name could be found to reflect that he was paying all of the bills. In Odlums case. Look at the long view. Without the missiles... there would have bee...

Floyd Odlum Husband of Jackie Cochran, founded the Atlas Corporation, and helped develop the Atlas Missile Program. Wow, so that allegation was really true? I thought that was just hyperbole from the silver bug site. Some ego, to name an ICBM after one's company. Like if the British Prime Minister ...
