BLATHER REVIEW

Trying to think back to my physics, there are two types of energy talked about, kinetic energy, where something is changing state, and potential energy, like a sled that has been dragged to the top of the hill now has built up the potential energy to go sailing down.

Is this what you want? Or an explanation of how electrical energy works? Or how we harness explosive energy in engines?

Energy is the potential to do work.

Actually, I was thinking more of electro-magnetic radiation; the energy that makes up matter and that is released as energy (photon waves) after, say, a nuclear fusion. I suppose that energy is a lot like kinetic energy in that it has, nay, is the potential to do work. We can measure it not as what it is, but only as a consequence of what it does. Hmmmm....

Garden variety radiation consists of particles that are smaller than electrons: alpha, beta and gamma particles. Radiation from space is gamma radiation for instance. The effect of these particles on your body for instance is to destabilize the molecules that make you up. Radiation burn is an external symptom.

I don't know all that much about this field, so I can't authoritatively state that what you said above was a bunch of hooey. But I think you threw a bunch of terms in the blender and turned it on puree.

Between the lines, your search for an insight to energy probably comes with the hope to be able to someday travel from planet to planet in a more modern and efficient way than our present science that requires depressing numbers of lifespans to get anywhere interesting.

We are stepping in that direction but the steps are small and few. However, there's the Kyoto Killer in winnipeg. It's been developed by a Multi- MacDonalds frachise holder who invested 7.2 million in developing an Hydrogen making module that fits under the vechicle hood. No heavy tanks to carry and fill. H2N Gen on the fly. It's charged with a powder chem like baking soda filled like a fire extinguisher I guess.

The unit is a little larger than a VCR and draws 10 -20 amps from the auto elecrtical system

It feeds hydrogen to the fuel intake and raises normal gas engine efficiency from 35% to 97%. Because all the hydrocarbons are burned, there is nothing left to pollute the air.

That's why it's the Kyoto Killer. No need to build any more 3 billion dollar refineries.

No more black plumes of exhaust from tractor trailers going uphill.

The owner/ inventor calls it the H2NGen and I read about it in the Sept 17th Montreal Gazette online.

There is a similar, but crackpot idea for sale on the net for $139, you can install in your car.
It's called Hydro-Gen [tm] at:

Hey, I just discovered your music. You and I are about at the same skill level where we ain't about to worry over which oscar to refuse. But it's fun anyway, playing around with music. It's odd one of your songs is not available, a bit *blue* I guess.

You're no Mario Lanza and neither am I but we could both get away with something if we went the Leonard Cohen route ..eh? I have more than one blogsite. Take a look at: seldom visited: http://BendGovernment.blogspot.com
