"I don't really know how to begin to explain life on the road. The door opens, the key turns, the engine screams, the tires roll, the rubber burns, the scenery changes, the sky fades, the city arrives, people alive, the stage awaits, curtain call and the show goes on. Day after day after day. The show must go on." - Rosco [Onward, ETC]

Imagining a World Without Money

A 10 minute clip from the movie Zeitgeist: Addendum. http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/ Visionary and self-taught architect, Jacques Fresco explains his ideal world that incorporates a resource-based system. No money, or other form of bartering exchange. A world without money is more than just imagination; it is very possible. Jacque Fresco believes if we decide to do this today, all things about this world can be achieved within only 10 years! Look at our world and all the unnecessary suffering at the hands of the monetary system. Money is a flawed system that is holding humanity back. Just watch this. I'm sure you will all agree.

Converting Your Car To An Electric Vehicle

Gasoline-powered cars. They are perhaps the most inefficient device that many of us use daily. We really should all be driving electric vehicles (or none at all see this post). The internal combustion engine is inefficient in term of pollution, gas costs and maintenance costs (this page explains why electric cars are 90% cleaner than gas-powered cars). But, as you may have heard, there are no electric vehicles available today that resemble conventional cars or trucks. Companies like Phoenix Motorcars, Tesla Motors, Commuter Cars and Miles Automotive Group and ZAP are coming close, but you still can't plunk down some cash and buy an electric car from them today. The only type of electric cars that can be purchased are NEVs (Neighbor Electric Vehicles), which usually have a top speed of about 25 MPH. But wait -- there are still a couple ways to acquire a working electric car right now. One option is to buy a used vehicle that somebody else has converted to an electric vehicle. You can search for use electric vehicles on sites like Craig's List, eBay, or EVFinder. For more advice on buying an used electric car, I would refer you to Shari Prange's recent article "Finding and Buying A Used Electric Vehicle" (PDF FIle) in Home Power Magazine No 119.

But these used electric cars are certainly limited in their availability, especially if you don't live on the West Coast. So may wish to take a plunge and do an electric conversion yourself.

Basically, electric conversion involves removing the entire internal combustion engine from a vehicle, installing an electric motor in its place, and also adding a large bank of batteries. A conversion will cost you about $6000 in parts, and about $1000-$3000 for batteries and installation. But, for all this expense, you'll get a zero-emissions vehicle that costs only a few cents per mile to run. Your electric car will also be more reliable and require much less maintenance that a conventional one. Remember that gas-powered cars cost the owner about $1800 per year on average for fuel costs alone, and there is the addition expense of engine maintenance and oil changes. Electric cars have a better resell values, and are more reliable overall because there are fewer parts to fail. Most of the components are solid-state electronics with no moving parts. The engine of an electric car has a virtually infinite lifespan — the components will probably outlast the chassis. The only real expense is the batteries, which will need to be replaced about every 3 to 4 years.

You can expect your converted vehicle to have a range of 60-80 miles, a top speed of 50-90 MPH, and good acceleration capabilities. It will take about 6-12 hours to completely recharge the car. All of these factors will vary, based on the weight of the car you convert, and the type of engine and batteries you install.

So, what type of car is the best candidate for an electric conversion? A light car (2000-3000 lbs. curb weight) with a manual transmission.You want a light vehicle, because heavy ones severely restrict the range of the electric engine. Automatic transmissions use up too much power because they require the engine to be constantly idling. As far as body style, you need something that can hold all the batteries you'll be installing. Michael Brown, author of Convert It, recommends a car that is light and roomy like a Rabbit, Civic, Sentra, Escort or light pickup truck. The ideal donor car has a good body and interior, sound transmission, but a dead engine.

For electric cars, the best type of driving is an area that is not too hilly and not too cold. Hills obviously put a larger burden on the engine, and thus reduce its range.Cold weather will also reduce performance, but there are many happy electric car owners who live in Canada and Alaska.

There are two types of electric conversions kits available: custom kits that are tailored to a specific vehicles models, and universal kits that can be installed in a variety of vehicles. Universal kits contain all the essential drive-system components but rely on the builder to create custom parts like battery racks or boxes. Custom kits include the entire drive system and battery racks and boxes, customized to suit a particular model. For example, a company called Canadian Electric Vehicles provides kits to convert Chevy S10 trucks, Geo Metros and Dodge Neons. Another company, Electro Automotive, provides kits to convert Volkswagen Rabbits and Porsche 914s.

Here's a brief history of electric cars.

Here are some online forums about electric conversions: Electric Vehicle Discussion List, DIY Electric Car Forums, EVWorld.

What we know about the Moon?

The film that challenges anyone to prove that the Moon is grey. This film proves the Moon is a full color celestial body and that there are incredible structures and towers built by "someone" that has the ability to build a structure ten miles wide and six miles high within an eight month period. The evidence is presented and you will be amazed at what you will see in this film.

Saules enerģija var kļūt par dārgāko kļūdu Vācijas enerģētikas vēsturē

Vācijas miljardiem eiro vērtais atjaunojamo enerģijas resursu infrastruktūras izveides plāns var kļūt par dārgāko kļūdu valsts enerģētikas vēsturē. Paredzētās investīcijas var sāpīgi ietekmēt vāciešu maciņu, bet pievēršanās saules enerģijai atstāj novārtā lētākus atjaunojamos resursus. 

Tomēr saules enerģijas nozarei ir spēcīgs lobijs un politiķi tam nespēj pretoties, raksta Vācijas laikraksts Spiegel, norādot, ka nesen jaunais Vācijas vides ministrs Peters Almeiers (Peter Almaier) tikās ar Vācijas atjaunojamo resursu nozares pārstāvjiem un sarunu rezultātus Vācijas sabiedrība drīzumā sajutīs ar lielākiem elektroenerģijas rēķiniem.

Tā jau nākamgad ir visai liela iespēja, ka trīs cilvēku liela vāciešu ģimene elektrības rēķinos papildus samaksās 175 eiro, lai valsts izveidotu atjaunojamās enerģijas infrastruktūru.

Vācijas medijs atzīmē, ka plānā iekļauti ievērojami atvieglojumi saules enerģijas nozarei, kas esot visdārgākā atjaunojamās enerģijas tehnoloģija, kā arī maz piemērota Vācijas klimatam. Spiegel raksta, ka iepriekš pats P. Almeiers kritizējis Vācijas saules enerģijas plānus, kas valstij nesīšot papildus izdevumus vairāku miljardu eiro apmērā. Tomēr tagad, pēc nokļūšanas vides ministra amatā, viņš esot mainījis savu viedokli.

Enerģētikas eksperti aprēķinājuši, ka Vācijas atjaunojamo energoresursu programma līdz 2030. gadam izmaksās 300 miljardus eiro. Lai to panāktu, Vācijas elektrības rēķinos iekļautā nodeva, ienākumi no kuras tiek veltīti atjaunojamo enerģijas resursu infrastruktūras izveidei, palielināsies no pašreizējiem 3,59 centiem līdz desmit centiem par kilovatstundu. Laikraksts uzsver, ka tas ir pretrunā ar kancleres Angelas Merkeles solījumu – samazināt šo nodevu līdz 3,5 centiem.

Aprēķināts, ka fotoelementu elektrostaciju un māju ar saules paneļiem īpašnieki šogad savas kabatas varēs papildināt ar deviņiem miljardiem eiro, taču Vācijas enerģijas nodrošināšanai viņu devums ir tikai četri procenti. Tāpat laikraksts uzskaita dažādas problēmas, kas saistītas ar saules enerģiju – tehnoloģiju dārgums, nespēja darboties gadalaika tumšajā laikā, neefektīgums u. c. Tādējādi saules enerģijas sistēmas ieviešana varētu kļūt par dārgāko kļūdu Vācijas enerģētikas vēsturē, kā arī nav izslēgts, ka valstij nāksies importēt kodolenerģiju no Francijas.

Iepriekš vēstīts, ka Vācijas valdošā koalīcija apņēmusies līdz 2022. gadam slēgt visus valstī darbojošos kodolreaktorus, kā arī līdz 2020. gadam samazināt elektroenerģijas patēriņu par 10%.

Valdības plāns paredz vienlaikus ar AES slēgšanas plānu samazināt elektroenerģijas lietošanu par 10% līdz 2020. gadam un dubultot atjaunojamo enerģijas avotu izmantošanu līdz 35% procentiem tādā pašā laikposmā. Tiek saglabāti arī valdības plāni līdz 2020. gadam samazināt siltumnīcas efektu izraisošo gāzu emisiju par 40%.

Here's how the famous Higgs particle gives things mass

Forget equations, physicists tend to explain process in terms of sports and syrup 

A computer graphic shows a typical Higgs boson candidate event, including two high-energy photons whose energy (depicted by red towers) is measured in the Compact Muon Solenoid's electromagnetic calorimeter. The yellow lines are the measured tracks of other particles produced in the collision. The pale blue volume represents the CMS' crystal calorimeter barrel.

The infamous Higgs particle has a weighty task: It grants all the other elementary particles their mass. Without it, they — we — would zip around frantically at the speed of light, too foot-loose to form atoms. But how does the Higgs do it?

In lieu of equations, physicists tend to explain the process in terms of sports and syrup.

First, each of the elementary particles acquires its unique set of attributes by interacting with invisible entities called fields. Like football fields, these are large stages upon which individuals (be they electrons or running backs) dash this way and that, and occasionally bash together. But unlike football fields, the fields of physics are three-dimensional, and extend infinitely in all directions.

One such field is the electromagnetic (EM) field — the kind you can feel near the poles of a red and silver bar magnet, but which actually exists everywhere all the time. Each particle interacts with the EM field in a way that depends on its electric charge. For example, electrons, whose charge is -1, tend to move through the field toward the positive ends of bar magnets, and to clump together with positively charged protons.

Like a sports field with its corresponding ball, each field of physics has a corresponding particle. The EM field, for example, is associated with the photon, or particle of light. This correspondence plays out in two ways: First, when the EM field is "excited," meaning its energy is flared up in a certain spot, that flare-up is, itself, a photon.

Secondly, when particles interact with the EM field (for example, when they are drawn toward the oppositely charged end of a magnet), they experience the field by absorbing and emitting a constant stream of "virtual photons" — photons that momentarily pop in and out of existence just for the purpose of mediating the particle-field interaction.

There also exists a Higgs field. It gives particles mass. [ How Do You Weigh an Atom? ]

Except for massless photons and gluons, "all elementary particles get their masses from their interactions with the (Higgs) field, kind of like being 'slowed down' by passing through a thick syrup," explained James Overduin, a physicist at Towson University in Maryland.

Some particles have a harder time trudging through the syrupy Higgs field than others, and as a result, they're heavier. However, it isn't known why certain particles, such as the extremely corpulent top quark, are thousands of times more encumbered by the Higgs field than are lightweight particles, such as electrons and neutrinos. "Theorists have been searching for some way to actually predict (particle) masses from first principles. No convincing theory has yet emerged," said John Gunion, author of "The Higgs Hunter's Guide" (Basic Books, 1990) and a professor of physics at the University of California, Davis. [ Are There Higgs Bosons in Space? ]

But here's where the Higgs particle comes in: Just as the photon mediates interactions with the EM field and is itself an excitation of the EM field, the Higgs particle mediates interactions with the Higgs field, and is itself an excitation of the Higgs field.

Particles trudge through the Higgs field by exchanging virtual Higgs particles with it. And a real Higgs particle surfaces when the field becomes excited, like a slosh of the syrup. Detecting such a slosh (i.e. the particle) is how physicists can be sure the syrup (i.e. the field) exists. "You have to get enough energy to excite the field so that it looks like a particle to us. Otherwise we don't know the field is there," Craig Blocker, a Higgs-hunting physicist at Brandeis University, told Life's Little Mysteries.

But because the Higgs particle is extremely high-energy (or, equivalently, very heavy), it's tough to excite the Higgs field enough to create one. That's where the Large Hadron Collider comes in: by smashing together high-speed protons, it generates enough juice to slosh the syrupy Higgs field around now and again, producing Higgs bosons.
