Woodyone Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 I'm an old retired guy that is into new tech ideas in this world that can make it a better, easier place to live. Renewable energy, wind, solar, hydro are onmy list of hot topics... Windmills, solar steam generation and flowing water. Monorails for transportation. Restoration and history of most things old or damaged. The social impact of any science that has changed our lives. Communication systems, old and new. Both, very low tech and the methods that are evolving around us daily. I'm building a parabolic solar furnace and boiler that will drive a low pressure steam engine. A 500 watt wind turbine is about to start up. Several Old cars, trucks and tractors are being restored, Not rock science but --Hey: Thanks for the chance to be a part of this group of thinkers. Quote
