I will pray for you that your heart might be opened to Jesus some day. Then
with the blinders off you might truly discern the enemy and his devices.

"But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a
cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his
brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say,
Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire." Mathew 5:22



Hey, I think I remember the movie you are quoting; It was by Stephen
King, wasn't it? :-|

I probably should make that point a bit "more clear."

A race of aliens a mere few hundred years ahead of us would be difficult
for us to discern from Gods.

A race 1000 years, 10,000 years, 100,000 years, 1,000,000 years,
100,000,000 years would probably, most likely, be GOD!

When have you ever met a race of aliens? None? Then your statement is a
fantasy construct.
The would likely be assassinated in the Media.

Well, I have never met "a new energy source" either. Does this mean I
can now dismiss all possibilities and go out into the world preaching
that all sources of energy have now been discovered and we are doomed?

Funny, where I come from, logic just doesn't work like that ...

At least you are able to wrestle with your own logic.

Just because God knows how everything will turn out, doesn't mean our
choises are of no value.

I don't know where you are getting your ideas, but since the subject is
changed again:

I would like to see a new energy source. I have some doubt I will find it
on YouTube, but those chances are greater than if I built it out of my junk
box. Such things will likely come at great expense. My solar experiments
only account for a small percentage of my electric usage but I have managed
to cut my gas bill drastically. Some could argue it is the oldest energy
source out there. Everyday we are bombarded by a whole lot of energy that
just heats up the roof. I have cut my bill by simply putting to use the
energy that would have only heated up my roof or my South side.

The point is we should all be thinking about such things rather than
expecting some government "fall guy" to fix it for us by digging deeper into
our pockets for "party money". What we have when we foist our
responsibilities on the government, are big screwups by people who are too
removed from the problem to have a hope to fix anything by throwing money on
scam artists. The Castro government comes to mind as a perfect example.
Just throw money at the government and it becomes fat, and lazy and a burden
to those who see a need and fulfill it. The job of a President should be to
inspire rather than shoulder incessant ridicule that cripples our nation's
credibility in the world. Those who ridicule should stop and provide some
useful input or shoulder responsibility themselves rather than hoping for
disaster to vindicate their bad attitude.

If we ever do find a race of aliens, I would hope we would hear from them by
radio first. There is no reason to think there couldn't be, but if they
were close enough for it to matter, we should have heard from them by now.

Unless they consider on-off keying (or radio in general) to be obsolete,
beneath them, and hate everyone who uses it because they won't waste their
time learning it, then look out.

Since our subject is still baluns, I have used Fiberglass tape on Torroids
and solenoid windings because they heat up. Other things deteriorate. I
use that because I have some. I couldn't tell anyone what would be best in
the long run for UV. It is a big problem. Heat means loss. I prefer to do
away with the need for baluns and other elements that don't contribute to
radiating the energy.

Go to a larger core, stack large cores to lower power density per cubic
centimeter of core material--adjust core material to compensate for
increased inductance, etc.

Proper functioning of the balun hinges on proper design/material, of
course ...

Now is one is designing an electric heater, ni-chrome wire might be
implemented in the design--perhaps a "ceramic tape", etc. ... 8-)

Actually, if God knows the future, the future is fixed,
everything is predestined, and we do not have free will.
If God already knew everything about this posting of
mine before I made it, I had no choice but to make it
using these exact words.

Actually, I have heard this argument(s)/discussion(s) since a very early
age.

I see no conflict between me having complete free choice and the ability
to control my destiny exactly as I see fit, or change my mind to fit
me--right along side an all-knowing mind who has already seen every
decision and change of heart I will have in my lifetime (the future is
there for me to discover and make my decisions to influence--but
he/she/it/the-aliens has/have already "been there, seen that!" ... )

What am I missing?
