Crude oil explodes through $46.50 as the problems are growing -
It's bigger than Iraq, bigger than Bin Laden and even bigger than the next election. America has entered into an exhaustive race for survival - And nobody is talking about it.
Talking about what you ask?
"Taking down Saudi Arabia's oil infrastructure is like spearing fish in a barrel... a coordinated assault on five or more key [pipelines]junctions in the system could put the Saudis out of the oil business for two years..." Robert Baer, Former CIA officer, USA Today, May 10 2004.
In a country portrayed to be the wealthiest oil nation in the world, Saudi Arabia also has the greatest divergence between the wealthy and poor. With the average individual income at $7,500 per year the poor is kept at bay by charity. Something we all know the Saudis are good at. Men by the hundreds line up to meet the prince and ask (is it asking or begging) for financial help for whatever ails them. Is this charity? Or is it a clever way to keep the not-so-fortunate from rising up? Over generations of this practice, the locals have become accustom. At what point do they rebel against these extreme unjust ways of life that they have been delt.? At what point do AMERICANS realize that this is the kind of society we depend way too much on and far too often?!?!
CNBC reported last week that OPEC (or could we just say the House of Saud) said that 'the current average price of oil is not sufficient (high) enough to meet the needs of the OPEC countries.' Gee... wonder why the 10 year oil futures have been propelling themselves into space over the past few years? ? What does this all mean?... America is dependent on an extremely unstable country(s). I fear that this will soon come to a head and Americans will be up the creek with only half a paddle.
Over the past 30 years., approx. 75% of U.S. trade deficit was money gone to oil imports - That must change What Americans don't realize is the great divergence in the prices of the things we consume. . . and it's about to catch up. . . One quart of oil for you car costs between $2-$5. One gallon as gas about $2. But if you're in a restaurant and order a Coke or a glass of milk, it is nearly SIX times that. Now you tell me something, do you need a "Coke and a smile" to get to work in the morning? FACT - Saudi OIL FIELDS are shrinking as oil prices are flying. During the 70's, 15 oil fields pumped one million barrels per day - Today only two of those are at a steady (or is it) one million.
OPEC's SECRET SHORTAGE THAT THEY WONT TELL YOU - Today's oil reserves estimates DO NOT include the two billion barrels of oil that was burned in the 91' Gulf War. Yet, OPEC has added 287 billion barrels to their reserves without claiming any new oil discovery. - Anyone smell anything fishy???
All this is reason enough that Americans need to work together, in a NON-PARTISAN effort and bring CLEAN - RENEWABLE ENERGY TO AMERICAN SOIL ASAP!! America needs to follow in the foot step of Denmark - where they actually produce more electricity than they consume... and sell the rest.

Submarine Propulsion and Internet web sources
Let us discuss the patent for the Submarine, which is now in the public domain, not that any foreign governments ever cared since they have been building them for years. Since my Grandfather built the first Ring Gyro at Stanford Research years back, I think it wise to discuss these things in a modern context.
Confusing MAV Optic Flow Sensors In flight Using Mobiles
Using Shapes on Mobiles to confuse optic flow sensors in Micro Air Vehicles appears to be feasible. Today we are studying the flight paths of Bats, Insects even birds to build and fly miniature UAVs; called Micro Air Vehicles or MAVs.

Building a Single Unit CO2 Laser Grid
When using a CO2 Laser to shoot down an incoming projectile, which enters a safety zone, it will be necessary to hold the laser on the target for about 5 seconds or more. To do this we must be able to shoot the laser in a grid, therefore if the projectile or aircraft or guided missile or even a UAV takes evasive action such as a high- speed high "G" 90 degree turn you can still register a kill on the target.
Acoustic Transducers and Light Waves for VSTOL, a Concept
Is it possible to use many acoustic transducers underneath an aircraft in a crisscross fashion to make the air much thicker. Almost like a platform that a VSTOL aircraft using low pressure could use to push off of? Although the amount of energy to be required to do this might be substantial; it seems to be possible.
Tsunami Defined
Tsunami is a Japanese term that describes a large seismically generated sea wave which is capable of considerable destruction in certain coastal areas, especially where underwater earthquakes occur.In Japanese, "Tsunami" means "Harbor Wave" or "Wave In The Harbor" It is now internationally accepted as the term that defines a "Seismic Seawave.

Mini UAV and MAV Power Plants
A set up of harnessed Lithium Polymer Cells can be the answer to mini-UAVs. When we compare the voltage output and capacity of wire harness systems and compare the weight of LiPoly cells to NiCd or NiMH cells you can achieve extremely better results than the average fuel and output on a ounce per ounce basis.
