Slacklining

Outside of the rock climbing community I have found very few people who understand some of the things we do besides climb. One of these activities is slacklining. While i was climbing a lot the slackline became my best friend. When your arms get tired you work on your balance. It is a relaxing way to recover and take a break without feeling useless.

A slackline can best be described as a one inch wide trampoline. Slacklines are similar to a tight rope but a slackline is made to bend and flex. A typical slackline is made of one inch tubular webbing that is pulled tight between two anchor points, typically two trees. The point is to then stand on the line and walk back and forth between the two anchors. It is much harder than it looks but with time you will see a significant increase in your ability to balance.

Water Car

Alright, I’m getting sick of reading peoples posts on Youtube about the false claims of the on-demand water hydrogen systems so this goes out to you guys.

I did my senior grad. Project on this technology and while I can’t say I’ve messed with all the possibilities out there for this technology but I have a better idea of what this technology is capable than most. This stuff is not going to replacing gasoline engines anytime soon but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t work or isn’t a good alternative. You can generate hydrogen and it does blow up leaving nothing but water as it’s byproduct. The problem is it take electricity, a good bit of it, to run this technology and right now the cells aren’t efficient enough to make enough hydrogen to run a car. Small generators have been run on the HHO (Browns) gas but perpetual motion is a myth and you won’t see this technology breaking the laws of physics.

Hydrogen boosters however do work in contrary to what many of you think. They don’t work on all type of cars and why you may ask. Simply because not all cars are the same and most newer cars have injection systems that will allow the hydrogen in but restricts it’s combustion in the cylinders so in effect your not accomplishing anything except draining your battery and out-letting hydrogen into the air. Personally I would never recommend using this stuff in your car. It’s tons of work and if your not too familiar with engines you probably won’t get far. It’s a fun science project that does work and can have applications so let the people out there who are working towards something have a break and who know maybe we will one day see water powered cars.

The Layman's Search for an Alternative

When gas rose to above three dollars a gallon the car driving community cried out against what they thought was a huge injustice. We don't make it any easier on ourselves. Americans drive huge trucks and SUV's and while I can understand why a truck is necessary for some people, construction workers, contractors ect., but the typical American Mom and office worker doesn't need to be riding around in a Hummer that gets about 10 miles to the gallon. The only people we have to blame for our plight with rising energy cost are ourselves. If were not going to wisely use the resources were given then what what right do we have to complain when gases prices are at record highs. The typical American in this situation puts there head down and pays the price for the energy they need. However their are some of us out there that can't tolerate this and were searching for the layman's alternative energy.

Personally my favorite of all of these is biodiesel and waste veggie oil (WVO) systems. In short it's just an extra tank and some fuel line modifications that allow the driver to select between regular diesel to heat the veggie oil and then to veggie oil and your running on free waste fuel. Another one out there though is the on-demand water hydrogen systems you may or may not have heard about. For the most part these are a myth it takes way too much energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen let alone get enough to run a car. This is also a pretty intensive stuff. I did my graduation project on this technology and I will say right now it's fun to play around with but while most of the supplies are readily available you need to have a very strong understanding of chemistry and electronics.

If anybody else out there is searching for the layman's free energy let me know and if there's something I'm missing let me know I want to see what else is out there that were missing.
