Re: Destiny Extremes

http://www.prahlad.org/pub/bearden/scalar_wars.htm It's a long article but worth the time to read. It also contains some links which may prove useful. Hmmm. I had a look through, went off to some of the links, and went as far as reading through the patent for the 'motionless electromagnetic generat...

New Jet (fo mi chin / Rossco mix)

Well, I got bored, and one thing led to another, and I've got a bunch of aerosol PU foam canisters lying around, and one of them had been through a bonfire (don't ask) and cleaned itself out pretty well, so I decided to have a play. The CC is made from a foam canister, I didn't bother to invert the ...

Re: BCDSVP idea...

Hello all! It works by using the intake blast of one of the two engine assembly as a compression stage for the other one (note: two engines should work 180° of phase, regarding to the formula 360°/n, where 'n' is the number of engines having a distance lower than one wave length to each other). S...

Video posting

Well, I've finally got the ability to view wmv files (which seems to be the de-facto standard due to a _certain_ company's stranglehold on the market), but it's not through _that_ certain company's viewer. However, I can't view the majority of videos uploaded to this site as they are embedded as 'pl...

"surely in all of infinite space and time, some species has found a loophole in ANY one of the conservation laws that leads to a practical interstellar drive" Pink Floyd made "Interstellar Overdrive", which seems to work off a loophole in the laws of music. It didn't ought to work, but it does ;-) ...

No, i dont think that you do. I don't think so either ;-) My take on this. - Rossco's engines are highly experimental. They're bashed out of bloody great bits of steel[1]. Duplicating them exactly would be hard[2]. Producing plans so you could duplictae them exactly would be a waste of Rossco's tim...

I get a load of these. Often claiming to be sent by myself. Which is a laugh as I haven't so much as touched a windows machine in several years.

Tufty, how you going with that engine? Was just playing with it, new inlets and the suchlike. I'm still trying to source some tiny copper tube for the fuel feed... As far as running it goes, I had it pulsing for about 2 seconds this arvo, but then it flamed out. Mainly it runs in howling mode ;-( S...

If that works and I can get the damn thing to make some noise, I'll do it again with some sound (maybe even video) recording gear and try to get some shots and noises up asap. Well, it made some noise. Butane is a no-go until I can get a decent fuel feed rigged, and for that I need some _tiny_ pipe...

This is why Microsoft will always have the lion's share of the consumer and small business market. Most users will never want to deal with a command line interface, or with vi.
