Free Wireless Electricity, Non-Proof of Concept
After burning incense in the Temple of Tesla, a few months ago I did a calculation on just how much electricity is naturally in the atmosphere. It would take an antenna one square kilometer in area suspended ten kilometers over … Continue reading

Molecule Maker: DNA Nucleotides
From left to right: adenine, cytosine, thymine, guanine. They took about ten minutes each, thymine a little longer than the others because of the ‘antler.’ I found that I could copy-and-paste a lot of the molecular structure from previous work, … Continue reading

Molecule Maker: Isooctane
Just for practice, I thought I’d try to make a simple molecule. So I went through my copy of Isaac Asimov’s The Genetic Code, and on page 40 was a diagram for isooctane that looked like this: Hmm, I thought. … Continue reading

Molecule Maker: Wooden stick model
I decided to forgo the wikipedia model’s style of showing bonds the same color as the atom. Instead, I’m showing bonds as they would look in a physical kit with wooden sticks for bonds. It’s a lot easier to do … Continue reading
Molecule Maker: Adventures in Scaffolding
I’ve discovered it’s easier to lay out a molecule with scaffolding as shown. The scaffolding is part of a component and can be deleted with a couple mouse clicks when it’s time to display the molecule. If you want to … Continue reading
Molecule Maker: Adenine Comparison (First Try)
Lots of flaws become apparent when an image is finally exported. The biggest flaw is unseen here, however, and was my methodology. It took me more than an hour to assemble this thing. When I have a method that can … Continue reading

The Amazing Decade Ahead
We are on the verge of so many scientific and technological revolutions that the next decade is going to be amazing. Here are some predictions of just how our lives and the entire world will change in the upcoming years. … Continue reading
Water Molecules in the Sun
I slapped this together and then realized that the bonds look too long. But the hydrogen atom angle is 109 degrees, which I believe is right. The shadows are for 1:30 PM on June 21, which is utterly gratuitous information … Continue reading
Sketchup Molecule Maker, in Progress
I want to make a bunch of molecular models in Sketchup, and it occured to me that I need a generic ‘tool kit’ of atoms and bonds in various angular arrangements. So far, I have the kit done for single … Continue reading
Nearest Stars Project: Youtube Tour
I wish the star labels were larger. I wish the resolution was better. Oh well, now I have a Youtube channel and it’s life in the fast lane . . . .
