So here's an innovation: An umbrella that takes the kinetic energy from raindrops hitting a conductive membrane
called PDVF and transforms that energy into electrical energy powering embedded LEDs.
1. Rain
2. PDVF membrane
gives 3. electrical energy.
Sang-Kyun Park has created a pretty awesome way to navigate a rainy night, but I can see a wider… Continue

The door will always be welcome and there will be plenty to go around because… Continue

The Available Garden.
So I've decided to take the free food thing across the road.
My goal is to plant some fruit trees on the fence-line so that kids (and adults too!) can help themselves to a nutritious snack any time they want.
The question becomes: Which fruit?
It is a matter of what will grow in the position chosen and what will be an attractive food for kids.
To this end, I've bid on a couple of trees that I haven't seen in my local nurseries, but which should grow well and be very… Continue

Fourth of July on the Lake
This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
