you may say I'm a dreamer.....
I'm taking my exubeRANT license to rant a little about things i wish were real. or at least, things i wish really worked. or even things that *may* actually work, but because the people don't, they still dont happen on any scale we really need. so here's just a few... later on i will be walking around town with my baseball bat and if I see any guilty parties, well, you just better watch out!
cause i'm pissed.
I was going to write about things i had hoped may be true,
now i've got a baseball bat....
1. I've seen a couple of posts lately about this company, Pyron solar, people say that its the most efficient solar PV around (i thought that Montreal's ICP was, what with their little triangular Mars Rover PV panels) and I go to the site and it's a little over the top, IMNSHO, 78% efficiencies, lotsa nonsequitors, some really cool charts and graphs, 
and claims that through a "happy alignment" (that's a scientific term?) they can get 2x the electrolysis that anyone else on this planet can. i smell a dennis-lee style scam and this will help no one = (
2. Joseph Wesley Newman. I do love this guy... and have no doubt that his machines actually do work. In fact here's some inside stories: one NASA scientist who has signed affidavits that Newman's motor works (he has 17 NASA Scientist affidavited) talked with an associate of mine once saying, "There's nothing wrong with the machines, it's Joe that's busted." it's a tragicom for sure, an orphan raised in mississippi in the 50's JWN, self-taught and all, figured out this machine (won't go into details, you can get most of that through the link) basically using collapsing magnetic fields, and then spent the better part of three decades fighting the patent office (he won) and people who stole his concept and sold them on the market (he won) and grandstanding (he's pretty good at that. once even was in Popular Mechanics after he drove a car --very slowly-- on nothing but a watch battery). The problems start with Newman's idea that god (or God, not sure which one) told him to do the machine, and also to wed a woman and her 13 year-old daughter. then it gets silly... instead of selling his machines, or selling the plans at bookstores, he sells white-leather bound books at $200 which are 1/2 the plans and 1/2 his philosophy (including why he ought to be president). Oh, and he omitted several important details in his scematics so if you aren't smart enough to figure it out, you have to call him, and then he knows who is close to completion ....They say genius and insane are pretty close, but there is a line somewhere in the middle and sadly JWN straddles it. In fact, recently a producer friend needed some energy stories for his network. So i hooked him up with (a few people, including)JWN, who as it happened was in Washington DC doing a demonstration... cameras rolling, he starts getting grilled by an annoying physicist who just didn't believe him (or give him the time of day to actually explain the machine) it ended up with JWN punching the physicist out, on camera! Did i mention that he has a mullet? he does tie it up when presenting, but still.... i think the JWN story ought to be made into a flick, maybe with Billy Bob Thornton or something... but it pisses me off because we could use these!
3. Lastly (for now, cause the ump just yelled "Play Ball") there's the wierd story of MEG and it's retardo cousin LUTEC. I'll hardly talk about Lutec because i don't know much about them, and have had a few fights with their owner... plus they're in Australia so who knows? maybe Howard will use them as part of Beyond Kyoto... but MEG oh my MEG what has happened??
Ret. Leut. Col. Tom Bearden who was pretty much the CIA's real-life agent Mulder (but for kooky things like plants and ESP and free-energy machines, no aliens --that i know of-- has been working on this for several years now. a motionless energy generator (MEG). rumors abound that the Yakuza flew in once and stole one, don't want it happening they say, and many many people say that MEG works. *Some* physics friends of mine say it can't happen, but i don't really know if they gave it more than a cursory glance... i have reasons (which i can't really print here) to believe that it and Bearden are genuine, but two years down the line and nothing has happened at all... he still needs his development money(!) And so what gives?? what? is there no American investor willing to risk something that could save the world? are people so afraid of big energy that they dont want to be economic rockstars? I don't fully know what gives, and in lieu of even completing this rant-- i will just drift off, pick my bat up, and hope i don't bump into one of you, my friendly readers, 'cause i'm coming out swingin'
