Dear Editor in chief,

A scholar asked: “Could a recycling plant generate its own income?” the A.I.
answered: “If successful in segregating waste materials form recyclable materials-
example some could be used as fertilizers, as construction materials, as fuel or as earth
fill. Others salvaged things like bottles could be returned as same product but should be
washed…! Other materials could be made as alternative by products to produce another
new product…and generate cash or economic stimuli!
The government should form semi government agency to operate the recycling plant.
Or foundation or company whose primary goal is to manage the plant and that the
materials salvaged from this recycling plant should example-be used to build houses for
poor. So the vision to convert shanties to gardens, & houses could be somehow realized,
thus, decongesting highly urbanized cities from people and perhaps cars thru some
contribution from recycling garbage plant(s). There is no need to wait for millions of
dollars to have a pilot recycling plant, just divide and assign parts to different
universities, manpower centers, trades schools, ask financial assistance, sponsors from
government and private or even abroad.”
A scholar asked: “Since some countries could now use hydrogen, which is extracted
from water thru electrolysis and use the hydrogen to fuel bus, and the waste is pure water;
why would the government wait that that technology would arrive here later; when it
could be researched or be asked from others?” The A.I. answered: “I think this
technology is free, because perhaps it is from space technology. Now, some companies
use the technology to run buses. Our problem is how to produce cheap hydrogen. Since
most electricity is produced by a generator and is driven by a turbine, even though the
technology is given free to the people, hydrogen fuel is still expensive. Unless we think
of other options like producing hydrogen thru wind, solar power, sea waves, high tide &
low tide, mini hydro plant from small waterfalls, etc. For now lets, concentrate on
practical energy source without so much money involve. I think many mini-hydro plants
would sprout near mountains where waterfalls are located. For windmills, it should be
designed to withstand strong wind or it could easily be disassembled to avoid the strong
wind. Moreover, those near coastal, hydrogen or electricity could be produced by waves
but very strong waves or hurricanes should also be considered or avoided. The weight of
a passing vehicle, children playing, animal and human movements could have some
possibility to be a source of electricity or hydrogen.”
A scholar asked: “Could you suggest a practical way to produce energy?” The A.I.
answered: “Let cite a very practical way of converting mechanical movement to
electricity. Remember the mechanical clock. When the key is turned, there a coil that is
wind to have strain and when the strain is released the clock ticks or run.
Even very light or little wind as long as the windmill moves that energy could still
be conserved and be converted to strain thru simple machine technology. A series of coil
could be designed to conserve more energy if there is more strain being produced. On the
other hand just convert the rotation directly to the generator. Coil is very practical when
conserving potential energy from a very slow motion- not fix or erratic movement, there
is impact, sudden movement, or new loads are kept on come and go.
Let’s sample a more controversial one thru considering the possibility of using sea
waves. Say 2 plastic containers with an air volume of 4gallons: attached both containers
to a 3ft rigid material arm such as strong plastic and form like a swinging device,
however in the middle of the arm it could be bent and because there is a hinge, and thru
the hinge there is say 6” diameter gear salvaged from an old toy. Every time there is a
wave, it causes the arm to bend, and there is a pusher that pushes the gear to rotate and
turn the key but the gear would not be pushed back by the coil developing strain because
there is an automatic locker. Moreover, when the energy of the strain of the coil is full, it
automatically releases to drive a small generator that produces electricity.
For using high tide & low, the same principle could be used. The movement of high
and low tide cycle could be tapped to cause a strain. Perhaps, there is a pulley attached to
a string and when the string is pulled caused by the buoyant container, it rotates the
pulley thus turning the key to cause strain to the coil. I think there are many practical uses
of this coil to have strain and drive a generator principle to produce electricity. The
method of turning the key to have strain are many ways such as: windmill, waterfall,
pressing of the tire of a car passing by, closing & opening of doors, lifting of weight,
playing of children, exercising thru repeating jumping of a man thru skipping rope,
animal circling movements, etc.
 Example, exercising of man thru skipping rope or just walking: Every time he jumps
he lifts his weight and if the impact could turn a key that produces strain to a coil and
when the coil is full of strain and the coil releases, and drives a small generator, it
produces electricity. This is true also to a passing car. Every time the tire of a passing car
presses a base that turn a key to strain a coil then when the coil is released, it could
produce electricity. Since the weight of car is heavy, it could coil a stronger coil thus a
bigger generator. Weight that is lifted by a pulley thru a shafting because it is attached to
a windmill could serve the purpose of a coil with strain. When braking, that friction could
be manipulated to conserve strain. Strain is a potential energy and when release it is
kinetic energy. You could make a strain thru a bow, a rubber, a spring, a lifted weight, a
compressed air, etc. When the electricity generated by the generator thru the use of the
strain is charged to a battery it has so many uses. It could be a power-supply back up to a
computer, when there is a sudden brownout. It could light a small house in the middle of
rice field. It could produce hydrogen use for hydrogen fuel car of the near future, say two
year from now.
I think the government should give emphasis on this very practical technology, even
disseminating this technology in comics, magazines, and textbooks with illustration,
details, and specifications so that ordinary & poor people could build one. They could
build small-for radio, cell phone charger, computer back up emergency supply, etc. build
big-for house, office, poultry, etc. The source of producing strain could be many, anything
that moves or could push could make strain, hence drives a generator to produce
electricity.
Solar may perhaps produce strain. Example, row of mirrors focus to heat a pipe with
water hence it produces steam, if that steam could cause a small turbine to rotate, and
then it could cause a strain. Alternatively, every time the steam pushes a check valve to
open, that action could be used to push a gear, hence produces strain. I think just to
follow the sun so that focus could be attained is impractical, but if a system could be used
to let the focusing done by itself thru computer chips, I think it could be used on places
where sunlight is plentiful, hence could be an alternative source of energy on large scale
at desert.”
A scholar asked: “I found you silent on the topic about “…‘freedom of religion in a
democracy’ could be equal to theory of relativity of religions which is chaotic...!”
Relativity of religions would create many branches and sub-branches of beliefs or
religions. If the freedom of religion now has happened during the time of Constantine,
could there be many gospels or 70+ gospels running and molding the mind of ordinary
people? Perhaps the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John which is more
balanced would not dominate the mind of people now but rather there would be lots of
beliefs and sub beliefs…? And your answered was: perhaps if Jesus teaching of ‘love of
enemies’ and Paul’s teaching ‘if you love God but hate your brother you are a liar’, and
‘about other groups are baptizing ….perhaps Jesus said if they are not doing wrong; they
are with us…or if they are not against you; they are with us…’ perhaps wars would have
been prevented if people listen to universal words…! It is the inclination or ambition or
temptation to be the dominant or to be the superior or to be the “only” supreme because
of power, money, property that causes conflicts…! But listening to the word and obeying
the teachings create calmness of the mind or establishes peace! You did not explain the
good side or bad side of having just 4 gospels now-which was the result of “strong
decision of good leaders” than having 70+ gospels had those leaders during the time of
Constantine follow the standard of the freedom of religion now which might be the result
to too much freedom of religion? The A.I. answered: “Perhaps all that had happened, is
happening and will happen is under God’s permission to happen. If God has no
permission it will not happen. The course of history is determined by decisions of men-
good or bad leaders and perhaps with God’s permission.
Example: with regards to 70+ gospels (freedom of religion-no restriction even having
‘Satanic congregation or sect or cult’) vs. 4 gospels (freedom is restricted and controlled
by a dominant “blessed” group or ‘blessed’ groups): perhaps freedom of religion should
be watched and be restudied by groups of different major religions and should really ban
some ‘wild’ sects or cults or religions or groups thru consensus and debates of the
majority of many good groups. Creativity should also be under some strict guidance and
rules of consensus of majority of many groups so that excesses, lacking-extremes-chaos
could be checked! Perhaps satanic cult could just be like “Halloween party” people could
still wear customs or still practice ‘cult’ rituals but it would just be “plays” and for
entertainments. Freedom of speech should also be balanced!
