2007 Assessment

Pulse detonation turbine build, hybrid-electric vehicle project, and where the buck ultimately stops

December 2007

It's been a really exciting year. We initiated our Pulse Detonation (hot gas) Turbine project and a hybrid electric vehicle project. Both are well underway and will eventually merge into a turbine-powered HEV.

Using the case and fan from an old snowmobile engine, together with a new shaft, bearings and 10-inch disc turbine parts, we have our gas turbine about 75% built. We still have a way to go -- with the valve, combustion chamber, and control electronics remaining. -- It definitely looks good already.

The HEV work is coming along -- the Fiero is sitting outside in the snow, waiting for the warmth of Spring, while we continue to piece together the power control elements indoors.

Looking at the entire scope of the two projects, we have in the making the answer to global warming and urban pollution -- both leading to a general decline in health and quality of life. The further along we drive this project, the sooner we get to reversing the negative fallout from greed economics.

As we are wrapping up this year's accomplishments, the world is holding a global ecological summit in Bali. Al Gore was there to point out the lack of cooperation on the part of the USA. Other delegates pointed out the fact that the U.S. is responsible for more than 25% of the world's pollution, and is continuing to increase that number with no end in sight.

It really is up to those of us who are responsibly minded to pull together our resources and fight the pollution juggernaut perpetrated by U.S. industry. It doesn't help that we have allowed an illegal takeover of the White House to continue for 7 years of great tribulation. It doesn't help that we have allowed the stupidest moron in the universe to occupy the Oval office. And it doesn't help that we have allowed the devil himself to issue felonious commands from the VP's desk. As a nation, the USA is guilty of allowing the negative situation around the world to get worse.

Isn't it time to kick out the rats and take back our liberty and freedom? Isn't it high time for us to work together on global solutions instead of personal greed money-chasing schemes?

Open your eyes -- the truth is right in front of you!
