Charge While Driving, Flying or On The Runway
Can you imagine a system that using an old Nicola Tesla trick, one which could charge electric vehicles while in motion? Well, we have the ability to charge things without wires, for instance those little gadgets that you can buy where you place your electronic device on what looks like a hot plate pad and […]
The Already Depleted Resources and the Very Few Ways Out, Which Also Happen to Be Depleting Rapidly
So the requirements of man are narrowing down the alternatives. We must look to protect not only our environment, but also ourselves, and look to use minimum of earth’s non- renewable resources. Now, this is where it sounds like a Science lesson from Class 9, and this is the part where I must now discuss […]
Filtering Waste Water for Heavy Metals Prior to Release of Influent Solves Many Problems
I’ve always said that corporations do not need regulations to force them to recycle or to reduce their waste. This is because any smart Six Sigma business process wouldn’t have any waste anyways. Anything left over in the manufacturing process is waste, and waste costs money, it is materials not used, components thrown away, mistakes […]
Let’s Collect Carbon and Make Stuff Out Of It – Graphene and Carbon Nanotubes
The other day, I was sitting at an outside patio at Starbucks, the one nearest the University. There were two students there studying organic chemistry as part of a prerequisite for what looked like a nursing program. Of course, along with organic chemistry they also had to study a little bit of the non-organic chemistry […]
The Advantages of Electrochlorination of Seawater
When an electric current is run through salt water in a specific manner, it produces a substance called hypochlorite, a form of chlorine.

Homage to Louis Armstrong
For the last 15 years I have been living in Lausanne, Switzerland, where the International Olympic Committee has its HQ, and where the writer (most famously for A Many-Splendoured Thing) and controversial “provocatrice” Han Suyin lived before she passed away on 2 November this year, among other things. It is also where the world famous […]
Historicism in Theory of Knowledge
Historicism (also referred to as Historism) holds that there’s an organic succession of innovations, and that local conditions and peculiarities influence the outcomes in a decisive manner. It may be contrasted with ad hoc foundation. Historicism recognizes the historical character of all human existence, but views historical past not as an integrated program but as […]
Dystopic Phase of Creative Malaise
Dystopic, as in a state of intellectual regression, suggests the phases of counterproductive discourse, or storytelling, which suffers the intentional erosion of social creativity. With a superficiality of supposed originality, or even a pretense to inventiveness, personifying “political correctness” or divisive “subcultural agenda”, lazily masquerade as informative works of art. Rife is the social interactivity […]
The Soul of America and the Souls of Its Residents
If once you forfeit the confidence of your fellow-citizens, you can never regaintheir respect and esteem. ~Abraham Lincoln~ Not too long ago, I reviewed John Meachum’s book, The Soul of America. I noted that the soul of which he speaks is a patchwork of all of those who inhabit America and as such is a […]
Malice Aforethought – Murdering Thoughts
Quite consciously and not accidentally, not excusably, murdering thoughts is the purposeful carnality in selfish arrogant and malevolent intention to kill another person. Alternatively, depending on your particular slant, perhaps one could consider the killing of another life form. However, in particular reference to this point of preference, thinking is the primacy of the willful […]
