-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- From: "Morgans" I had heard a few years back that audio aficionados had been going back to some tube technology, and you are the first specific instance that I had heard of. Tubes never really went away in the area of music CREATION. They tend to emphasize the uneven overtones (5ths and maj. 3rds) and give sound a certain "warmth". My "amp of choice" for my guitars is still an old, 1970 vintage Fender Quad Reverb. An added benefit is that when I fire it up in the winter......it heats my house. ![]() I always liked my Heathkit Amp, until the sound of caps gassing up, (then blowing over/open, or whatever you want to call it) was almost as frequent as the sound of clear music. Hey! I built one of those. It was still working when I sold it in the late 70's. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: N/A iQCVAwUBSAmjwpMoscYxZNI5AQEnWQP+Oe9q4YSSnjksD57K54 pH2YAY+lro2BI1 bYa98twCwFuJYUVOQD9ADeS3uILptE06dJ0xPfimvpbJJ9JSww NMxPcxAQiBfWsU J1kydz7OqwKnaqBwBbxyEY6qqGM8IVRhAS3rxpbURm4Nkh0GAS 6PqwsgTXTzZ2Mb 4qurrbdFu+E= =A+Dt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Ok you guys... This is bringing back alot of wonderful memories of my early years. I built some heathkit stuff, bought them from Olson electronics in Miami Fla.. Ahhh, the smell of solder and the feeling one gets when you plug it in for the first time and it doesn't smoke or trip the breaker,,, Actually they were those screw in fuses back then... Seems to me I killed more of the green fuses then the red ones, but I digress......... I also agree on the fine sound of the fender amp. I had a Strat and a bandmaster amp in another life and those days were a great time, and the beginning of my hearing loss. :)). Thanks for reminding me.... Now back to your regular scheduled programming. !!!!!!!!!!!! Ben. |

Success will get every opponent to shut up. And 3/4 of them will claim that they had faith in you, all along. Sounds fair. I loaded SolidWorks onto laptop yesterday. As mentioned, I will report either success or failure, whichever occurs. Do hurry, I'll be holding my breath. Bertie |

There was a German guy working on the theory of it. Burkhard Heim was his name. He died, though, before completing his work. But here's a start: http://www.rialian.com/rnboyd/burkhard-heim.htm Now you have to be able to read German and most physicists don't really grasp his mathematics and system of physics, but you'd probably make pretty good progress once you had the anti-grav drive part down pat. The rest should be a piece of cake. Anyway the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics awarded a prize for a paper on the concept: http://space.newscientist.com/articl...yperspace.html New Scientist mentions Sandia Labs and the US Military looking into it though, so you may simply be too late (alas!). Still, there may be a homebuilt market for similar technology, so your efforts might not be entirely wasted. |

If you have a PGP decoder and download his public key it's used to prove the message came from who it says it did since nobody else's private key will encrypt to the appropriate string above. Eliminates people forging posts since they either won't post with a PGP key (rules the post in as a forgery if the real user always posts a key), or the string won't validate against the real user's public key. |
