Smokey,and Yes The  closed cell Foam concretes are amazing for cost and insulation ,and now even 3D printable
with relative ease. [95  +  % savings over conventional construction

Sooo much room for growth and improvement .
and when we can connect to the wheel works of the universe ? no burning of forests or fossil .....resources to refresh and restore...Zillions of upgrades and updates ...so much work to do ...[Lanca's New Customers and industries a new...

If we attach weights and pulleys and a simple gearbox
To a bicycle and a generator


People can get their daily ride while cranking up the weights
That will power their generator all day.


And clear up bike traffic on the roads

QuoteIMO Utilizing this open source FE forum for political topics to attempt to divide the membership, support Chaos and stifle build discussion ..is beyond weird .

I don't think so, what is politics but elected people managing the interests of a country which ultimately includes corporate and personal interests?. People make any given topic divisive not any topic in itself and we should be able to debate any matter like adults shouldn't we?. I mean were all adults not children and it's almost 2020.

Quoteand to think that any figurehead leader propped up on the world stage could have any autonomy from the string pullers ??even weirder.
divide and conquer .....its in the play book.
for a person who has no interest in open sourcing FE technology ...you sure keep busy ...doing other things.

That is your opinion however my post was on my concerns that many politicians are not even trying to hide there corruption and dishonesty anymore which I find very troubling. As Trumps lawyers said, they believe he cannot be convicted of "any crime" and his crimes cannot even be investigated. Obviously this is moving towards a dictatorship which could easily declare all free energy illegal with no justification ... this is my point.

On a side note, I was watching some video's by Steven Greer who I think is awesome and I think he nailed it. We are still primitive and we still think along the lines of "tribes" with respect to our beliefs. So while science and technology may be moving forward our thinking and beliefs have not so much. Sure we can claim to be "civilized" however the forums, society and the people we elect to represent our interests have not changed so much. At some point it should become obvious that Trump, a 70+ year old business person with no comprehension of science and technology is not a leader more so a dinosaur.

Someone during and after the 1973 oilcrisis thought about electric movement :

With improved 2019 electric motor  and electric ( coated? double winding)  generator the velocity-peak and range ?

How difficult is it to improve conventional electric motors  in their efficiency ?

We have the technology, developed in the last decades by industry or private inventors in their hobby room,
when there is a need the consumer can improve his non-electric bike to e-Moped  !
