... Doug, You probably know what happens when one assumes... : ) No, I almost never recommend petro-foams, and certainly avoid new, unused ones, even in those...
Are you recommending buried strawbales? I`ve toured several strawbale homes here in the humid south, and the older ones have the bales blackened with mold. I...
Check this out: http://www.practicafoundation.nl/technologies/microdiesel.html Why can't we produce this engine in the USA with refrigeration compressor,...
It is almost identical in design to many smaller hobby motors used by model aircraft and car enthusiasts. A couple of points to note: - It only gets about half...
I like the engine. THe size is right. I think you could put a generator or alternator on the shaft output. Maybe you coulld rig up an electric start....

... Thank you for this info, which I saved as I awaited the opportunity. Today I filled four 2-liter PET bottles with water and 200 grams of rock salt. For...

Does this mean they've reinvented the Icyball? (couldn't possibly be the same, this things a cylinder!) http://www.ggw.org/~cac/IcyBall/crosley_icyball.html ...
I think it is likely about the same except for shape. The pipe and valves between are the ceramic part that is between. The function is the same. Ronald ...
Greetins. Iceball worked on the principle of using heat to turn a liquid into a gas then directing the gas into a insulated space where it turned back to a...
Sorry guys, I should have put a smiley in there. But I did wonder if the new reinvented icyball has patents that duplicate the original. ... Icyball?...
Greetins. Patents have to be something original and cannot be a natural occuring event. such as a liquid being turned into a gas when heated and giving off...
I found the article to be rather vague for such a technical topic. It doesn't reveal the charging coolant, and its not even clear if the model is a *working* ...
Greetins. someone should either put back into production means of refrigerating foods or design a unit that can be built without having a huge factory at ones...
If I understand what you are saying, you believe that someone shouls spend a lot of time and energy to develop a simple to produce product to use as a simple...
My modem went down for 8 hays. I may have lost the link. Dose this refer to the same device? http://www.technologyreview.com/NanoTech/wtr_16027,303,p1.html ...
sure looks like the same article. The question should be, are they trying to patent something that has been made for the last 80 years--plus or minus a few,...
Greetins. I would ask rather, why they want to patent it? Rich ap931 <ap615@...> wrote: sure looks like the same article. The question should be, are...
Greetins. you obviously do not understand what I am saying at all. I said to design the means of cooling food, not to make money but to aid mankind. This is...
There's nothing in the article to suggest that they're planning to patent it or even make it. Personally, even though it wouldn't be *fair*, I'd rather that...
And I said " If I am going to invest that kind of time and money into a good design to the good of mankind, I should at least get paid for my knowledge, and...
Oh Please tell me it ain't so! Not another message board where everyone blames America for all the ills of the universe and all of humankind!!!!. Pleeeeeze,...
A fire-powered cooling device would be very useful in villages here in Mozambique. Some of the richer fishing boat owners in the coastal village where I live...
Greetins. have to love that logic. this is a free country. You either agree with me or get the hell out and go to some other country. Just what gives you...
