The Beauty and Functionality of Simplicity

Over the past few days I’ve been tinkering with some thought experiments. I’ve been having to figure out how to properly create a functional model for steam. And within hours I already was able to frustrate myself with the idea of not knowing enough about thermodynamics in order to make the model work correctly. But I’ve been reading a great book called, “The Tao of Physics” by Fritjof Capra and

It’s all in the Hips

Thanks to my mom, I’ve always dabbled in various forms of athletics from a very young age. Basketball, soccer, baseball, tennis, martial arts…you name it. I’ve probably participated in every major sport at a summer camp at some point in time.

What I began to realize is that to be effective in almost any athletic activity, one needs a powerful core. Core strength refers to the power of the muscles

Coal Power Plant and Algae Bio Fuel concept 2

Tiered Algae Farm and Coal Power Plant concept – CLICK TO ENLARGE

This is a diagram for the Coal Power Plant and Algaeo Bio Fuel farm concept. It goes into some detail into the idea for taking the CO2 from a coal power plant and piping it into a Tiered Vertical Wafered Algae System (TVWAS). This concept was first brainstormed at a previous article here at overidon.com. But this

Forcing change in bad computer behavior

I have this bad habit of putting my right hand in a position where I’m in a constant “stress” position while holding the mouse. This is because I want to always be able to quickly scroll with the middle mouse button up and down on webpages. So I tend to arch the front of my hand in a way where my hand is hovering slightly above the front of the

Rough Concept for Desal and Coal Plant combo

Here’s my quick concept for a Desalinization Plant and Coal Power Plant combination.

1) Take a coal power plant and plug the smoke stacks into a kelp/algae Tiered Vertical Wafer Farm System.

2) Take a desalinization plant and plug that into the coal power plant and also in the Tiered Vertical Wafer Algae System (TVWAS).

3a) A TVWAS is a building that has different levels. On each level there are

Reforestation of the United States of America

Forest in South America

There are three interesting trends in the United States of America, that have synergistic potential to do something great for this country…reforestation. At first glance, these trends may seem alarming and forebode the worst for our future, but when we look at them in conjunction with one another, they present opportunities. These opportunities would not have been logistically feasible if it were not for the

The Rate of Magnetic Pole Shift is increasing

magnet

The Earth’s Magnetic North Pole has literally shifted from Canada to Siberia (Russia).  According to Dr. Chris Connor during a news excerpt from NBC, he said, “…it’s been moving, and now it’s moved all the way from northern Canada into northern Siberia.” What it interesting is that Dr. Connor didn’t say what most websites and news sources are saying. Most sources I’ve read say that the Magnetic Pole

Genetic Vehicular Algorithms at BoxCar2D

BoxCar2D.com has programming that has huge potential

BoxCar2D.com is a website that simulates virtual genetics. But instead of creating some sort of life form, the website creates a vehicle with a very clear goal. The goal is to reach the end of a track or course, with variable terrain and difficulty. How far the car gets in the course directly corresponds to the acquired score. What makes things

Profitability of Desalination

Desalination, although it may seem like an infrastructural necessity for growing cities, can actually become a hugely profitable sector for inter-state and international trade. One point that is rarely mentioned in the discussions of desalination, is that many methods for distributing water over long distances have already been designed and tested by the oil industry. If we look at Eastern Europe, massive networks of sending oil from countries as remote

Stealth camouflage and Disguise

Stealth Camouflage Disguise

There is more to stealth, camouflage and disguise than wavelengths of light and shadow. Several distinct factors of physics, biology and psychology make the successful shroud possible. The first way to approach a successful endeavor into non-detection would be to determine what method one will be observed with. For example, a Stealth Bomber, despite its name, would be easily detected visually if it was sitting still

Sonic Meta Tagging

Sonic Meta Tagging

With voice recognition software at its current high level of sophistication, new advancements in the search engine optimization field may become available. The target for this potential technology may be videos on the internet that are primarily made up of human speech. The purpose would be to scan the audio track of a video and then use voice recognition software to pick out discernible words. After

Global Internet Security Protection Act (proposal)

INTRODUCTION

With the advent of the current WikiLeaks crisis, a new problem has come to the attention of the global internet community. That problem is that websites like WikiLeaks illegally disseminate information. To make the problem worse, many websites like WikiLeaks are powered by servers that are outside of The United States of America and therefore are difficult to

Foreclosure Halt demonstrates market self preservation

Foreclosure

About a week ago, I heard about how Bank of America was halting their foreclosures in multiple states. Now it seems that they have stopped foreclosing in all 50 states. This is called a moratorium, and in this case it means that Bank of America is not going to foreclose on many Americans’ homes even if they are not able to pay their mortgages. At first glace
