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 ... 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. |
