found the following from Tesla's Patent ( he knew it was "fractal" )

Patent 1,061,206

Still another valuable and probably as unique quality of such motors or prime movers may be described. By proper construction and observance of working conditions the centrifugal pressure, opposing the passage of the fluid, may, as already indicated, be made nearly equal to the pressure of supply when the machine is running idle. If the inlet section be large, small changes in the speed of revolution will produce great differences in flow which are further enhanced by the concomitant variations in the length of the spiral path. A self regulating machine is thus obtained bearing a striking resemblance to a direct-current electric motor in this respect that, with great differences of impressed pressure in a wide open channel the flow of the fluid through the same is prevented by virtue of rotation. Since the centrifugal head increases as the square of the revolutions, or even more rapidly, and with modern high grade steel great peripheral velocities are practable, it is possible to attain that condition in a single stage machine, more readily if the runner be of large diameter. Obviously this problem is facilitated by compounding, as will be understood by those skilled in the art. Irrespective of its bearing on economy, this dependency which is, to a degree, common to motors of the above description, is of special advantage in the operation of large units, as it affords a safeguard against running away and destruction. Besides these, such a prime mover possesses many other advantages, both constructive and operative. It is simple, light, and compact, subject to but little wear, cheap and exceptionally easy to manufacture as small clearances and accurate milling work are not essential to good performance. In operation it is reliable, there being no valves, sliding contacts or troublesome varies. It is almost free of windage, largely independent of nozzle efficiency and suitable for high as well as for low fluid velocities and speeds of revolution.

It will be understood that the principles of construction and operation above generally set forth, are capable of embodiment in machines of the most widely different forms, and adapted for the greatest variety of purposes. In my present specification I have sought to describe and explain only the general and typical applications of the principle which I believe I am the first to realize and turn to useful account.

what do you think would happen if we merged these two Designs into one

or simply Quartz (piezo electric ) Disks + Salt Water ( UV emission ) :


the Tesla Quartz / Barium Titanate Turbine Battery

if the set up is standing up right and the inlet placed on top ... Gravity will do the work for you : ( solar pump will bring it back up )

It is almost free of windage, largely independent of nozzle efficiency and suitable for high as well as for low fluid velocities and speeds of revolution.

to keep the disks separated , opposite magnets can be used to repel , just thinking outloud ... may also have other added advantages ( mainly as an Mstate Water producer : all the disks should be magnetized in this case )

and here is a surprise for you .... was going to suggest to inject that water in a Joe Cell for HHO production and found the following :

here is another example: Vid21 Washer Cell Hydrogen Generator (HHO, Brown's Gas, Hydroxy) - YouTube / Vid59 How to Build a Volcano Washer Wet Cell (HHO, Brown's Gas, Hydroxy) - YouTube

[MonsieurM]

ps you can have the mstate Producing turbine on top of the HHO Generator ( forming an inverted T ) or like the 2 circles in the design below :




installed in a car , you end up with a generator/ Mstate Producer / HHo Generator ....not bad when you think about it



and the beauty of it : one side has moveable parts and generates electricity and Mstate water while the second part has no moveable part and uses electricity to produce HHO

Whether you’re using wireless internet in a coffee shop, stealing it from the guy next door, or competing for bandwidth at a conference, you’ve probably gotten frustrated at the slow speeds you face when more than one device is tapped into the network. As more and more people—and their many devices—access wireless internet, clogged airwaves are going to make it increasingly difficult to latch onto a reliable signal.

But radio waves are just one part of the spectrum that can carry our data. What if we could use other waves to surf the internet?

One German physicist, Harald Haas, has come up with a solution he calls “data through illumination”—taking the fiber out of fiber optics by sending data through an LED ( Quartz made ) lightbulb that varies in intensity faster than the human eye can follow. It’s the same idea behind infrared remote controls, but far more powerful

Brazilian physicist Fran De Aquino of Maranhao State University (Physics Department, S.Luis/MA, Brazil) reports that the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) technology can be used to cause earthquake, cyclones and create gravity shields to aid in moving heavy objects in conjunction with gravity cloaks in his 2011 paper “ High-power ELF radiation generated by modulated HF heating of the ionosphere can cause Earthquakes, Cyclones and localized heating”. The paper also touches on technology used for time travel, speed of light space travel, why the Philadelphia Experiment failed and could succeed with modifications as well as how gigantic monoliths might be made weightless and moved with ease ( remember quartz is a helical Antenna ).

One more resonance to think about : (3 pictures this time around )

A team of Italian radio boffins – and one Swede – have one-upped their pioneering countryman Guglielmo Marconi by demonstrating a method of simultaneously transmitting multiple signals on the same frequency.

Team member Bo Thide of Swedish Institute of Space Physics first conceived the orbital angular momentum idea in a 2007 paper focussed on radio astronomy, but in which he wrote that the concept "paves the way for novel wireless communication concepts."

Last year, Tamburini, Thide, and their team demonstrated the multiple-signal technique by beaming two separate audio signals at 2.4GHz, then two television signals, 442 meters from the lighthouse of Venice's San Giorgio Island to the balcony of the Palazzo Ducale.

This image is based off fractals and the yin-yang symbol, and also reminds me of an electromagnetic field and very much like this chakra field diagram (, )--(and somewhat like this version of chakra energy flow —see Wikipedia: chakra for general info). When I showed this image to a friend of mine, he said it reminded him of the Cantor set. I didn't know what this was at the time but, after a bit of researching on the Web, I emailed a math professor who told me this image is "a depiction of a 'Cantor-like' process". Another interesting thing about this image is that it can be drawn by simply making smaller and smaller figure-8s (infinity symbol), which only intersect in the center. I call this "circular infinity" (2D) or "spherical infinity" (3D). Vortices can also be seen by spiraling down along the circle lines. This version is a base-2 division but a base-3 (and higher) division version is possible and used in esoteric literature.1

a fractal construct has an 'efficient function', it has a fractal ergonomy to them, they function on multiple levels and in multiple dimensions:

Fractal Past, Fractal Future




By IVARS PETERSON

On a clear, brisk morning, a child marvels at the frilled intricacy of frost splayed across a sunlit windowpane. In the laboratory, a scientist peers at the minutely branched structure of a cluster of gold particles.



A character in Tom Stoppard's 1993 play Arcadia asks, "If there is an equation for a curve like a bell, there must be an equation for one like a bluebell, and if a bluebell, why not a rose?" If you asked a mathematician how to characterize the shape of a flower or Jack Frost's handiwork or metallic sprays, the answer would probably refer to forms called fractals.

Fractals have invaded the popular imagination. Calendars, computer screens, and books feature vivid, phantasmagorical images of weirdly branched, wildly swirling structures. Cartoonist Sidney Harris depicts a refurbished living room decorated with squiggles. "We did the whole room over in fractals," the hostess explains. Composer-pianist Zach Davids turns the subtly varying fractal intervals between successive heartbeats into musical sequences to create "Heartsongs" -- a remarkably pleasing score without apparent rhythm, meter, or harmony.

The word "fractal" was coined only 25 years ago by Benoit B. Mandelbrot, IBM Fellow Emeritus at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., and mathematics professor at Yale University. Based on the Latin adjective meaning "broken," it conveyed Mandelbrot's sense that the geometry of nature is not one of straight lines, circles, spheres, and cones, but of a rich blend of structure and irregularity.

Although irregular, many natural forms also show a striking property. A fragment of rock looks like the mountain from which it was fractured. Clouds keep their distinctive wispiness whether viewed distantly from the ground or close-up from an airplane window. A tree's twigs often have the same branching structure seen near its trunk. Indeed, nature is full of shapes that are self-similar, repeating themselves on different scales within the same object.

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, mathematicians constructed self-similar curves in the course of attempts to prove or disprove certain intuitive notions about space, dimension, and area. They described the curves as "pathological."

It was mathematics "skating on the edge of reason,( Harmonic Math )" remarks mathematician Hans Sagan of North Carolina State University in Raleigh. This byway was almost completely ignored by scientists. Such curves didn't seem relevant to their concerns.

Yet physicists were having great difficulty in answering seemingly simple questions about phenomena such as diffusion. When a person in a breezy room opens a bottle of perfume, how long does it take for someone on the other side of the room to smell it?

In turbulent air currents, perfume molecules take paths wispier, stringier, and more contorted than the routes they follow in a calm setting. "It's only with Mandelbrot's insight -- that all this wispiness involves those pathological 19th-century mathematical constructions -- that physicists were able eventually to start to attack those problems," says Michael F. Shlesinger of the Office of Naval Research in Arlington, Va.

One of the very few scientists who appreciated early on the peculiar geometric complexity of natural phenomena was physicist Jean Baptiste Perrin (1870-1942), who studied the erratic movements of microscopic particles suspended in liquids and remarked on the self-similar structures of natural objects.

Fractal Past, Fractal Future

"Consider, for instance, one of the white flakes that are obtained by salting a solution of soap," Perrin wrote in 1906. "At a distance, its contour may appear sharply defined, but as we draw nearer, its sharpness disappears. . . . The use of a magnifying glass . . . leaves us just as uncertain, for fresh irregularities appear every time we increase the magnification, and we never succeed in getting a sharp, smooth impression, as given, for example, by a steel ball."

Mandelbrot had an advantage over Perrin and other predecessors in that he could commandeer computers to calculate and display stunning, unpredictable images of the extraordinary mathematical forms. Today, what 19th-century mathematicians could barely imagine can be speedily depicted and explored in three-dimensional, Technicolor splendor. Still, as graphic techniques continue to improve, "there's probably a lot more left to see and appreciate," notes Clifford A. Pickover, a research scientist at IBM.

Nowadays, fractals enter into scientists' descriptions of a wide range of phenomena, from the branching of air passages in the lungs and the flight paths of wandering albatrosses to the fracturing of a chunk of metal. Researchers are also looking toward the fractal frontiers.

Fractals have, for example, a potentially important role to play in characterizing weather systems and in providing insights into various physical processes, such as the occurrence of earthquakes or the formation of deposits that shorten battery life. Some scientists view fractal statistics as a doorway to a unifying theory of medicine, offering a powerful glimpse of what it means to be healthy.

Fractals lie at the heart of current efforts to understand complex natural phenomena. Unraveling their intricacies could reveal the basic design principles at work in our world.

Only recently, there was no word to describe fractals. Today, we are beginning to see such features everywhere. Tomorrow, we may look at the entire universe through a fractal lens .

Fractured Granite And Fractal Prints - Science News

A rectangular slab of polished granite gives an impression of solidity and permanence. With its straight lines and glossy surface, it's an elegant, humanmade artifact meant to stand as a timeless monument or serve as an impermeable skin for a sleek skyscraper.

Breaking a granite slab produces jagged fragments with rough edges, reflecting the raw stone's geological history and structure. Zooming in for a closer view of a broken edge doesn't make the irregularities disappear. Instead, a fractured edge tends to show the same degree of roughness at different magnifications. Indeed, nature features many irregular shapes that are self-similar�that repeat themselves on different scales within the same object.

New view reveals how DNA fits into cell - LONGECITY

"Our technology allows us to ask really fundamental questions about chromosomes," says study coauthor and molecular biologist Job Dekker of the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester. "It really is a radical improvement over the previous technology. It's truly genome wide and unbiased."

Applying the method to human cells, the researchers found that the genome has a highly organized structure. Small pieces of DNA fold into globs, and those globs fold into larger globs and so on. The researchers report that this "globule of globules of globules" is fractal, meaning it is organized in such a way that it has the same pattern no matter how far you zoom in. This fractal shape is "super-dense, but has no knots," says Lieberman-Aiden.

Earlier studies by Alexander Grosberg, a theoretical physicist at New York University, first predicted the fractal structure of packed DNA. "Now this paper delivers beautiful confirmation of that prediction," he says.

From surface scum to fractal swirls. - Free Online Library

Flecks of soapy scum floating on the surface of water draining out of a bathtub sometimes gather into intricate patterns. The geometry of the resulting patterns provides a snapshot of currents within the draining water. These convoluted flows cause local upwelling in some locations and downwelling --where floating particles tend to collect - in others.

Two physicists have now applied this phenomenon to demonstrate a direct link between the complicated motion of a fluid and the resulting fractal pattern displayed by an aggregate of floating particles. Fractals are complex shapes that look roughly the same whether greatly magnified or viewed from a distance.

Researchers have noted fractal patterns in the shapes of clouds, the branching of blood vessels, the jaggedness of coastlines, and the roughness of fractured rocks. But there has been no obvious connection between such patterns and the physical processes responsible for creating them.

Beating a fractal drum; how a drum's shape affects its sound - Cover Story | Science News | Find Articles

A number of mathematicians and physicists are studying how the wiggliness of a drum's rim affects its sound, especially in cases where the boundary is so wrinkled -- with crinkles atop crinkles -- that it can be termed a fractal.

"The study of the vibration of drums with fractal boundaries and drums with fractal membranes ... [has] significant physical applications to the study of porous media and to that of diffusion or wave propagation on fractals," says mathematician Michel L. Lapidus of the University of California, Riverside.

Lapidus described recent progress in understanding the effects of these curious geometries at a meeting on wavelets and fractals held earlier this year in Pittsburgh.

Such investigations may eventually furnish clues as to why fractals appear to abound in nature, from crazily indented coastlines to the intricate branching of air passages in the human lung.

Moreover, because the wave equation plays a central role in physics, studies of the vibrations of drums under different conditions have important implications for a wide variety of concerns, including the behavior of sound and light, the diffusion of heat, and the workings of quantum mechanics.

Sharks use math to hunt their prey: marine predators cruise the seas using fractal principles. - Free Online Library

The great white shark in Jaws knew exactly where it was going - to the closest pair of plump legs around. But where might it head if it didn't have a tasty human snack in its sights?

A new study suggests that some sharks and other marine predators can follow strict mathematical strategies when foraging for dinner. The work, reported in the June 10 Nature, is the latest aiming to show whether animals sometimes move in a pattern called a Levy walk.

Unlike random motion--in which animals take similar-sized steps in any direction, like a drunk stumbling around ( Drunk Kung Fu Master Like ) --Levy walks are punctuated by rare, long forays in any direction. Draw a Levy walk on a graph, and its squiggly pattern echoes a fractal, the mathematical phenomenon whose shape remains similar no matter the viewing scale.

Albatross Forage With Fractal-like Flight - Science News

Flight plans reminiscent of fractals could help hungry birds find food. Albatross sometimes hunt by following a mathematical pattern that repeats itself at smaller and smaller scales, researchers report online April 23 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Called Lévy flight, this type of movement includes clusters of small movements every which way, punctuated by the occasional long trip in one direction. It’s thought to be a particularly efficient way to locate scarce prey.

May 20, 2012 - A Significant Date, page 1

While researching the relation between eclipses and the biblical calendar I found information about a crop circle from 2010 that points to May 20, 2012 as a significant date. There will be a celestial alignment that day between the Pleiades, the Sun, and the Earth as well as a partial solar eclipse.

a quick look on wikipedia: May 20 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

May 20 is the 140th day of the year (141st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 225 days remaining until the end of the year.

2012 is a leap year ( or year of the great leap )

141st = HM 6
225 days = HM 9

Just for kicks here's what else is happening on May 20 - The 38th G8 summit is to be held in Chicago, Illinois, United States on May 19-20, 2012. It will occur alongside the NATO summit.

Venus and the Crescent Moon Flirt in the Night Sky - East Haddam-Haddam, CT Patch

At around dusk tonight — Tuesday, April 24 — stargazers who look to the skies will see Venus shining. The planet will shine so bright all the way through to May 17, according to the Space article on stargazing tips for Venus and the moon.

Venus will particularly glow brightly around 45 minutes after sunset, Joe Rao wrote in the article.

What's special about tonight is that the planet named for the Goddess of Love and the moon will engage in a little springtime flirtation and get a little closer together.

Technically, the celestial bodies are pretty far apart from each other — a whopping six to seven degrees apart in celestial-speak, according to Rao. But to earthbound folks, he said the moon and Venus will be separated by two-thirds the size of a human first.

Multiband Pyramidal Antenna for Radio Navigation
and Telemetry Systems

Abstract—A novel multi-band pyramidal antenna combining
radio navigation and MicroSAT telemetry applications was
recently introduced by the authors. This flexible antenna
provides independent and easily adjustable operating frequency
design. Furthermore, the radiation patterns of this pyramidal
antenna are relatively similar at the different operating
frequencies. One key element of this radiating structure is its cutoff
waveguide ( Granite in our case ) placed underneath the antenna ground plane in
order to improve input ports impedance matching while
minimizing the antenna rear radiation level. This paper further
describes the above-mentioned antenna and gives its latest
improvements.

Does the quantum wave function represent reality?

(Phys.org) -- At the heart of quantum mechanics lies the wave function (principle of Mentalism ) , a probability function used by physicists to understand the nanoscale world. Using the wave function, physicists can calculate a system's future behavior, but only with a certain probability. This inherently probabilistic nature of quantum theory differs from the certainty with which scientists can describe the classical world, leading to a nearly century-long debate on how to interpret the wave function: does it representative objective reality or merely the subjective knowledge of an observer? In a new paper, physicists Roger Colbeck of the Perimeter Institute in Waterloo, Ontario, and Renato Renner of the Perimeter Institute who is based at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, have presented an argument strongly in favor of the objective reality of the wave function, which could lead to a better understanding of the fundamental meaning of quantum mechanics.

Dowsing for Nuggets in a New Gold Rush Video

The caduceus coil, illustrated in fig. #1, (Not shown) basically consists of
ordinary insulated copper wire wound in a double-helix around a
ferrite core. THIS COIL HAS REPEATEDLY BEEN FOUND TO VIOLATE
ESTABLISHED LAWS OF ELECTROMAGNETICS AND HERTZIAN WAVE THEORY WHEN A HIGH FREQUENCY CURRENT IS INJECTED INTO IT.

First. this apparatus has zero impedance - unlike an ordinary coil.
when fed electrical energy the wire in the Tensor coil does not get
hot.

Secondly. it has infinite resonance - unlike an ordinary coil which
will resonate chiefly at its natural fundamental frequency and
weakly on the 2nd or 3rd harmonic, the Tensor coil is capable of
resonating strongly on any number of frequencies randomly spaced in
the spectrum. The signal pumped into such a coil strangely enough
cannot be quantified (detected) by standard RF (radio frequency)
detection apparatus. Many "Ham" radio operators and electronic
technicians who have used these coils, are completely baffled by
them. One radio amateur found that with two such coils, one used as
a transmitter and the other as a receiver, the second would not pick
up the signal from the first unless they were precisely aligned for the signal to be
transmitted. The alignment had to be as critical as that of a laser beam.
