Electricity Hmmmmm, Just a thought!

2 Comments on Electricity Hmmmmm, Just a thought!

Electricity is fascinating to me as you all know. I have been reading about Nikola Tesla’s Aerial System.
I have found it so interesting that there is electricity able to be captured this way.
A small module can be built that will work and capture electric for a few bucks. I know this seems crazy.

As I read on in the PDF found here I was more interested in Thomas Henry Moray’s System This man was very talented to say the least.

He created a very cool device that could produce electricity and it was self contained device. This device weighed in at fifty pounds and was tested in many places to prove it’s workability. If you want to read some interesting history and how we really don’t have to use the fossil fuel check out the link.
It’s no wonder that someone tried to assassinate him and threatened his family, he quit working on this and moved on to medical devices. His machine destroyed etc… I am not surprised to say the least but as a thought, how would things be if he was praised for his work and encouraged to continue? I wonder if we would have self sufficient homes with one of these devises? If the self contained device weighed in at fifty pounds so long ago I bet it would even be smaller with today’s technology.

I think it would be a fun project to try to build one of the smaller devices that Tesla or Moray designed, just to try it. I have the room here on the farm and all the other farmers around me would just say there he goes again I wonder what the heck he is building now…lol As I string my 57 foot insulated wire between two poles.

What is really interesting is that with one antenna there is no limit to how many modules that can be used so thought number two of the day is if one works then twenty would be that much better right?

Some fun thoughts- OK for us geeks maybe – for this weeks Two thoughts

Pumpkins Everywhere!

Well there’s plants so far…lol I think I have gone above and beyond on this summers binge project when I planted the four acres of pumpkins

I have been doing my research though, I want to make some really good pumpkin pie from scratch. I did find this method but it’s just not what I was going for. In Fact the face makes it appear that it’s not fun at all this way! I do want to carve one like this and sell pies with the pumpkins – hehehe

We had a couple rows that didn’t get planted and one that didn’t grow anything. It rained two inches here so my first thought was what a better time to transplant while it is so wet. We all spent well into the night digging up all the ones we planted in the back-up area in case this happened and we lost some plants. I had no idea there were that many in a row, holy crap!

Everyone was saying well how many did you think were in each followed by I thought you were going to just plant a few pumpkins!? I replied “What did you think I was going to just plant four plants” Answer “No but not thousands of them”! At this point I realized the size and scope of this project and in my head was saying things like holy crap we are going to have a real problem come fall. Where will we get the boxes from? Buyers… we need buyers and so on and so on my head was spinning it finally hit me… Holy crap!

Then my second thought kicked in… We are defiantly going to have pumpkins so we had better get on the phone and start lining up the buyers. I didn’t want to do this and then we didn’t have any pumpkins but as you can see, yep they are growing. So we are going to get started today working on finding buyers for them this fall at harvest time.

This is just one of the smaller ones with Trina on the tractor behind it.

Have a great Tuesday

A Reflection On Tuesday

I mentioned that we had a big storm here the other night in my comment on BlogDumps. It was a big one with seventy mile an hour winds…. WOW!
Trina and I had worked all day putting in a new parking lot at our doctors office ( a friend of ours too) It had to be the hottest day of the year. We both agreed we should start early to beat the heat, so we did we got up early and headed out to pick up the first load of crush and run driveway material.

The truck runs hot inside the cab and has no air conditioner, so glad we got up!
So the first load – we go to dump it and drive down the parking lot (less tractor work this way) and the right front break line blows out and I am headed into the road with Trina yelling stop and me yelling “It don’t stop no more! Help me! It don’t stop no more!!!!!” Finally it came to enough of a stop that I put it in reverse and I backed into the driveway. We spent the next few cooler hours removing and replacing the break line, bleeding the breaks and then we were back on the road.

We go get three more loads and then off to get the tractor. It was hotter than you know what by then and with all the down time we should have been on our way home. I thought to myself out loud “Why is it always on the hottest days?”
All went well, we got the tractor and off we went to finish up – no big thing right! Now it is in the afternoon around 3 and it’s blazing hot. All was going well then the tractor started to stall out for no reason. It did this about five or six times and now it is getting late and it’s over a hundred degrees and it quits all together with a few touch ups to go before we were done. So we shovel some and wait… it won’t start so I said “Forget it lets get the trailer and winch it on there and go – we still have pumpkins to water.”

We get the trailer and start to try to load it and then Trina tries it and it starts…. go figure. I yelled to her “back it up and we will try to finish and then load it up.” It was late and we finished it up and were on our way home to the farm it was nine o’clock when we finally got there.

We were dead, head swimming and exhausted. One of the guys had started the watering so we went and laid down in the air conditioning. Then the storm started, it blew through here hard like a hurricane we both thought who cares at this point, at least the driveway is getting watered and the pumpkins are loving the extra water.

Then the phone rings… My son tried to out run the coming storm and get home – he was on his motorcycle and this storm popped out of no where. He had crashed when the wind blew him and the bike off the road! So we loaded up in the car and headed out to go see what happened. Long story short (it would take another blog post) He is OK a lot of bumps and bruises and a small compression fracture in his back that will heal on its own in time.

He is so lucky it all went down the way it did or it would have been awful bad. I thought this day would never end and I was right it didn’t it went right on into the next day. My last thought is when he said to me in the emergency room quietly “I guess I will fix my bike and just sell it, my son needs his father” ~~Thought number two… I just wanted to beat his ass, I told him not to get that damn bike!~~ I said son I really wish you would have listened to me on the first place a father needs his son too.
I am so glad things are trying to be normal again I hope it stays that way.

Have a great Tuesday
