167 Recycling Plant R

August 27, 2006 Dear Editor in chief, A scholar asked: “Could a recycling plant generate its own income?” the A.I. answered: “If successful in segregating waste materials form recyclable materialsexample some could be used as fertilizers, as construction materials, as fuel or as earth fill. Others salvaged things like bottles could be returned as same product but should be washed…! Other materials could be made as alternative by products to produce another new product…and generate cash or economic stimuli! The government should form semi government agency to operate the recycling plant. Or foundation or company whose primary goal is to manage the plant and that the materials salvaged from this recycling plant should example-be used to build houses for poor. So the vision to convert shanties to gardens, & houses could be somehow realized, thus, decongesting highly urbanized cities from people and perhaps cars thru some contribution from recycling garbage plant(s). There is no need to wait for millions of dollars to have a pilot recycling plant, just divide and assign parts to different universities, manpower centers, trades schools, ask financial assistance, sponsors from government and private or even abroad.” A scholar asked: “Since some countries could now use hydrogen, which is extracted from water thru electrolysis and use the hydrogen to fuel bus, and the waste is pure water; why would the government wait that that technology would arrive here later; when it could be researched or be asked from others?” The A.I. answered: “I think this technology is free, because perhaps it is from space technology. Now, some companies use the technology to run buses. Our problem is how to produce cheap hydrogen. Since most electricity is produced by a generator and is driven by a turbine, even though the technology is given free to the people, hydrogen fuel is still expensive. Unless we think of other options like producing hydrogen thru wind, solar power, sea waves, high tide & low tide, mini hydro plant from small waterfalls, etc. For now lets, concentrate on practical energy source without so much money involve. I think many mini-hydro plants would sprout near mountains where waterfalls are located. For windmills, it should be designed to withstand strong wind or it could easily be disassembled to avoid the strong wind. Moreover, those near coastal, hydrogen or electricity could be produced by waves but very strong waves or hurricanes should also be considered or avoided. The weight of a passing vehicle, children playing, animal and human movements could have some possibility to be a source of electricity or hydrogen.” A scholar asked: “Could you suggest a practical way to produce energy?” The A.I. answered: “Let cite a very practical way of converting mechanical movement to electricity. Remember the mechanical clock. When the key is turned, there a coil that is wind to have strain and when the strain is released the clock ticks or run. Even very light or little wind as long as the windmill moves that energy could still be conserved and be converted to strain thru simple machine technology. A series of coil could be designed to conserve more energy if there is more strain being produced. On the other hand just convert the rotation directly to the generator. Coil is very practical when conserving potential energy from a very slow motion- not fix or erratic movement, there is impact, sudden movement, or new loads are kept on come and go. Let’s sample a more controversial one thru considering the possibility of using sea waves. Say 2 plastic containers with an air volume of 4gallons: attached both containers to a 3ft rigid material arm such as strong plastic and form like a swinging device, however in the middle of the arm it could be bent and because there is a hinge, and thru the hinge there is say 6” diameter gear salvaged from an old toy. Every time there is a wave, it causes the arm to bend, and there is a pusher that pushes the gear to rotate and turn the key but the gear would not be pushed back by the coil developing strain because there is an automatic locker. Moreover, when the energy of the strain of the coil is full, it automatically releases to drive a small generator that produces electricity. For using high tide & low, the same principle could be used. The movement of high and low tide cycle could be tapped to cause a strain. Perhaps, there is a pulley attached to a string and when the string is pulled caused by the buoyant container, it rotates the pulley thus turning the key to cause strain to the coil. I think there are many practical uses of this coil to have strain and drive a generator principle to produce electricity. The method of turning the key to have strain are many ways such as: windmill, waterfall, pressing of the tire of a car passing by, closing & opening of doors, lifting of weight, playing of children, exercising thru repeating jumping of a man thru skipping rope, animal circling movements, etc.

Example, exercising of man thru skipping rope or just walking: Every time he jumps he lifts his weight and if the impact could turn a key that produces strain to a coil and when the coil is full of strain and the coil releases, and drives a small generator, it produces electricity. This is true also to a passing car. Every time the tire of a passing car presses a base that turn a key to strain a coil then when the coil is released, it could produce electricity. Since the weight of car is heavy, it could coil a stronger coil thus a bigger generator. Weight that is lifted by a pulley thru a shafting because it is attached to a windmill could serve the purpose of a coil with strain. When braking, that friction could be manipulated to conserve strain. Strain is a potential energy and when release it is kinetic energy. You could make a strain thru a bow, a rubber, a spring, a lifted weight, a compressed air, etc. When the electricity generated by the generator thru the use of the strain is charged to a battery it has so many uses. It could be a power-supply back up to a computer, when there is a sudden brownout. It could light a small house in the middle of rice field. It could produce hydrogen use for hydrogen fuel car of the near future, say two year from now. I think the government should give emphasis on this very practical technology, even disseminating this technology in comics, magazines, and textbooks with illustration, details, and specifications so that ordinary & poor people could build one. They could build small-for radio, cell phone charger, computer back up emergency supply, etc. build big-for house, office, poultry, etc. The source of producing strain could be many, anything that moves or could push could make strain, hence drives a generator to produce electricity. Solar may perhaps produce strain. Example, row of mirrors focus to heat a pipe with water hence it produces steam, if that steam could cause a small turbine to rotate, and then it could cause a strain. Alternatively, every time the steam pushes a check valve to open, that action could be used to push a gear, hence produces strain. I think just to follow the sun so that focus could be attained is impractical, but if a system could be used to let the focusing done by itself thru computer chips, I think it could be used on places where sunlight is plentiful, hence could be an alternative source of energy on large scale at desert.” A scholar asked: “I found you silent on the topic about “…‘freedom of religion in a democracy’ could be equal to theory of relativity of religions which is chaotic...!” Relativity of religions would create many branches and sub-branches of beliefs or religions. If the freedom of religion now has happened during the time of Constantine, could there be many gospels or 70+ gospels running and molding the mind of ordinary people? Perhaps the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John which is more balanced would not dominate the mind of people now but rather there would be lots of beliefs and sub beliefs…? And your answered was: perhaps if Jesus teaching of ‘love of enemies’ and Paul’s teaching ‘if you love God but hate your brother you are a liar’, and ‘about other groups are baptizing ….perhaps Jesus said if they are not doing wrong; they are with us…or if they are not against you; they are with us…’ perhaps wars would have been prevented if people listen to universal words…! It is the inclination or ambition or temptation to be the dominant or to be the superior or to be the “only” supreme because of power, money, property that causes conflicts…! But listening to the word and obeying the teachings create calmness of the mind or establishes peace! You did not explain the good side or bad side of having just 4 gospels now-which was the result of “strong decision of good leaders” than having 70+ gospels had those leaders during the time of Constantine follow the standard of the freedom of religion now which might be the result to too much freedom of religion? The A.I. answered: “Perhaps all that had happened, is happening and will happen is under God’s permission to happen. If God has no permission it will not happen. The course of history is determined by decisions of mengood or bad leaders and perhaps with God’s permission. Example: with regards to 70+ gospels (freedom of religion-no restriction even having ‘Satanic congregation or sect or cult’) vs. 4 gospels (freedom is restricted and controlled by a dominant “blessed” group or ‘blessed’ groups): perhaps freedom of religion should be watched and be restudied by groups of different major religions and should really ban some ‘wild’ sects or cults or religions or groups thru consensus and debates of the majority of many good groups. Creativity should also be under some strict guidance and rules of consensus of majority of many groups so that excesses, lacking-extremes-chaos could be checked! Perhaps satanic cult could just be like “Halloween party” people could still wear customs or still practice ‘cult’ rituals but it would just be “plays” and for entertainments. Freedom of speech should also be balanced!
