Query: when does something once considered cheap, mundane, black and fairly
toxic become all-important to society, if not the ultimate answer to our
national survival?
BTW - this has nothing at all to do with last night's debate ...

It's been a long dry spell since we've heard anything from STEORN,

My gut reaction would be to assume, sadly, that things are probably
not being going well for them. Common sense

We have water test tank observations of vortexes shedding off the main vortex
and traveling distances. These compact spirals are similar to the vid pics of
the claw produced shot that travels in a spiral projectile toward the
shrimp. Notice the shape of the claw is parabolic and

Jones wrote about graphene as an alternative to the transparent indium tin
oxide solar cell. It looks promising but on page two of the article there
was this dampener...
They also need to improve the conductivity of their film: indium tin oxide
is still hundreds of times more conductive.

Yes, this low efficiency is undoubtedly true for now.
But here is the (possible) paradigm shift, and I should have tried to explain
my enthusiasm as involving a paradigm shift rather than as a step-wise
improvement.

Don't shoot this down - I'm only dreaming! They also noted anomalies in five
other satellites apart from one which passed by planets symmetrically (i.e
orbital axis not inclined). They speculated that the rotation of the planet
might have something to do with it and I thought I may as well
I suspect Jones proposed a dummy as best of the best, so that the
technology he deemed second best (algoil, what else ;-) would come out as
the winner.
Seriously though Jones, have a look at Nanosolar's latest declarations (last

Sure David, Using the example of a piece of copper rod at ambient temperature,
Rapidly bend the rod and it gets hot at the bend. The more rapid the bend, the
hotter it gets. No inconsistency unless you wish to rewrite thermo.. which some
brainiac should do soon before we tumble.
