How Not To Un-Stick an Stuck Oil Filter

I've always felt that the time-honored technique of punching a screwdriver through an oil filter was just plain asking for trouble, but from the looks of it, this poor guy was doomed from the start no matter what he tried.

In the course of the struggle, the filter ended up getting s

Sacrifices to the God of Fossil Fuels

The oil-covered beach on the left is in Florida. There goes Florida’s tourism. BP can’t possibly survive paying damages to all the businesses in Florida that rely on their tourism and fishing industries.

This could all have been avoided if we’d transitioned to renewable energy 35 years ago, when it was first being proposed. Yes, 35 years ago President Jimmy Carter knew that we needed to make the move to renewable energy and he put solar panels on the White House to get things moving. As soon as we got a Republican president, the panels were removed. What does that tell you? It tells me that the last 35 years of pollution, climate change emissions and lack of renewable energy policy was the result of short-sighted presidents,most of them Republicans. President Clinton didn’t do anything substantial to move us off oil either, despite the presence of Al Gore in his administration.

So whose ass needs to be kicked? It looks like the political ones need it as much as any. We need to find a way to kick some Presidential and Congressional ass hard enough that it gets their attention, and get the green energy revolution started. We need to let them know we are not going to take this anymore.

See this dolphin on the right? It died yesterday. It died not just because of BP, but because of U.S. energy policy, and the fact that we all drive cars that use gasoline. People at the beach tried very hard to save him, but they were not successful. According to MSNBC, he died later at an animal rescue clinic, and had probably ingested oil, or breathed it in.  This dolphin died for a tank of gas.  The story of the landfall of this oil and of this dolphin is on MSNBC.

A recent letter to the editor in the Star Tribune sums up our need for renewable energy very well. Read it below.

“Even in today’s age, technological limits

Since President Richard Nixon launched Project Independence with its goal of producing an “unconventionally powered virtually pollution free automobile within five years,” we’ve expected technology to end our dependence on foreign oil.

For President Jimmy Carter, it was a $20 billion Synfuels Project, based on Germany’s World War II coal-to-diesel program. For President George.W. Bush it was a $1.2 billion Freedom Car proposal to develop hydrogen-fueled vehicles. Then, in President Obama’s address to the nation on June 15 he said, “The time to embrace a clean energy future is now,” as he expressed his faith in energy sources like biofuels, wind, and solar.

The oil industry pursues our deep ocean deposits with faith in 400-ton blowout preventers to cap undersea gushers. Polluting coal’s dominance for electric power is to be handled by unproven carbon capture technology. Congress and state legislatures like Minnesota’s pass “tough” renewable energy standards based on faith in technological pipe dreams.

Unfortunately the laws of nature and physics [...]

Has China Been Formally Invited to Join the ISS Program?

More Details on Space Discussions during the International Economical Forum in St. Petersburg, Roscosmos

"International Space Station partners have not received any response from China on a proposal to join the ISS program, Roscosmos Head Anatoly Perminov stated during the International Economical Forum in St. Petersburg. Speaking about Russian role in the program, Perminov reminded that US shuttles are to be retired soon, leaving Soyuz to maintain crew transportation services solely for the ISS, Interfax informs. "This is rather dangerous, any expert recognizes that. There must a backup for the Soyuz. We wish some country would have it, and we contacted China with its human spaceflight program mature enough to maintain crew transportation in the program, asking to join the ISS partnership. However there was no response", Perminov said."

DCPM Motor for a Wind Generator

NCBI ROFL: Anticipated versus actual alcohol consumption during 21st birthday celebrations. | Discoblog

birthday“OBJECTIVE: The 21st birthday celebration is often associated with excessive alcohol consumption. The current study examined whether individuals consume more alcohol than anticipated during their celebration and whether situational factors contribute to prediction errors. METHOD: College students (N = 150; 50% female) who planned to drink during their 21st birthday celebration were contacted by telephone 1 week before their celebrations and asked about their birthday plans, including anticipated alcohol consumption. The week after the celebration, in-person semi-structured interviews and self-report measures were administered to obtain information about the 21st birthday celebration, including type and amount of alcohol consumed, pace of drinking, influential peer involvement, and engagement in 21st birthday traditions. RESULTS: The majority of 21st birthday celebrants consumed more alcohol than they anticipated, with men showing greater prediction error than women. Situational factors were positively associated with the discrepancy between anticipated and actual alcohol consumption. CONCLUSIONS: Drinking shots, drinking at a fast pace, celebrating with influential peers, and engaging in 21st birthday traditions were associated with drinking more alcohol than anticipated during 21st birthday celebrations. Findings suggest future interventions that target situational factors could reduce excessive 21st birthday drinking.”

Another Growing Algal Bloom in China | The Intersection

Here we go again... From the AFP:
BEIJING — A floating expanse of green algae floating off China's eastern seaboard is growing and spreading further along the coast, state-run media has reported. * * * * * Algae blooms are typically caused by pollution in China and suck up huge amounts of oxygen needed by marine wildlife to survive and leave a foul stench when they wash up on beaches. * * * * * According to a 2008 State Oceanic Administration report, raw sewage and pollution from agricultural run-off has polluted 83 percent of China's coastal waters, leading to algae and other problems.


3 Phase to 2 Phase Marine Application

I have a 3 phase serial star generator and distribution panel to match.

It has to be wired to parallel delta to give lower voltages as I suggested !!

I say the distribution panel has to be reconfigured.

Am I correct ?

It is a marine application with star earth connected to refere
