This is a post from the old Strange And Cool on blogger. I thought it was worthy of a re-post. I have also appended some more information about Mark Tilden and his ”Satbots” with a link to a cool article about them on American Scientist at the end.

I’ve been interested in robots ever since I was a little boy, as were many boys that grew up in my era.

I had a few robotic toys as a child too and I would always tear them apart to see if I could learn anything.

Most of them were “cheap” and weren’t very impressive. The coolest thing they had back in the 70’s when I was really young was “rock ‘em sock ‘em robots. Yes they were kinda cheap and had no motors but the linkage set up for the controllers amazed me. It was just string routed up through the robots limbs and the limbs had springs that returned them back to their default position. I still think it is an ingenious idea.

They have actually started making them again just recently. You can buy them from Amazon.com here: Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots

Anyways, not much happened in the field of robotics as far as I was concerned growing up.

Then I got into the work force and started welding. It was in the welding shop that I learned about modern robotics and the way it works on the production line. It is pretty impressive but I was still disappointed at how primitive the whole thing is.

Productions robots are completely stupid. The programmer determines all the moves of the robots. You have to tell the robot precisely where to move and what to do every step of the way which takes hours of programming and trial and error. They are just stepper motors which are programmed and controlled by computers every step of the way. Hardly any sensors, no smart capabilities like the ability to detect misaligned parts or anything.

I was truly disappointed in the progress of robotics in the last 20 years after what I had learned.

Then in 1997 I learned about Mark Tilden and his new BEAM Robotics philosophy and I finally saw a glimmer of hope for the advancement of robotics.

BEAM robotics started with a solar cell, a couple of transistors, a resistor, capacitor, a diode and a very efficient little motor. In layman’s terms this setup basically…

Advanced Energy Research Organization (AERO), LLC was founded by Steven M. Greer, M.D., in July 2007. AERO is a new research and development group which will develop and strategically protect new energy and propulsion technologies that will completely replace oil, gas, coal, and nuclear power

AERO is the group that is most strategically ready to develop, disclose and establish the long-suppressed technologies that will enable us to establish a truly sustainable civilization on Earth.

It is time that humanity move on to its next level of development. This cannot happen with the internal combustion engine and fossil fuels. Time is short. Indeed time - and obscurity - are elements that must be overcome for success to occur.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

– Margaret Mead, anthropologist

If you are an inventor, experimenter,  researcher,  if you have a working device or prototype that can be recreated or if you are otherwise involved in free energy or propulsion research please contact Steven at his site about your inventions at http://www.aero2012.com and ask him what he can do to help you protect your technology and avoid getting it stolen or taken away by the NSA, Big Oil or other organizations that would try to keep your inventions/devices suppressed.

When you get there click on “Technology Criteria” to see if your device qualifies.

I got a comment from Richard Lalancette about contacting Dr. Steven Greer on the Mobious Ring free energy device I posted yesterday. Who the heck is this guy I thought, so I googled him (that doesn’t sounds very good does it? Don’t go around googling people or you could go to jail! LoL.) Anyways I found his blog and he’s got some very interesting stuff over there.

There was this one video that really intrigued me. It’s about someones idea (don’t know who yet) about how crop circles may actually be blueprints to build an interstellar craft. It looks like they just built a website for the idea too. So I went and checked it out to see if it was worthy of posting a short article about.

I found a little info at the website but not much. The videos explain it best. These videos are very compelling and they go into technical detail about how they think this thing would work. Well sort of. You really just have to check it out to see what I’m talking about.

Imagining the fourth dimension is hard but 6 more dimensions after that is completely mind boggling. Very interesting though. This is a concept that was thought up by scientists involved with string theory research. None of this is proven it’s just a theory. Granted it’s an amazing theory, but still just a theory.

Warning: People with weak minds should not attempt to watch this video without some sort of supervision.

This is a post frrom the old Strange And Cool blog over on blogger. This is such a cool post that I’m re-posting it here. It’s about the lifter project over at JL Naudins Website which I think is awesome.
—————————————-

Did you know that people have discovered how to use high voltage electricity to propel a craft through umm… “whatever”? It’s pretty amazing.

This is called the Lifter Project. I learned about the lifter project about 3 years ago while I was searching the web for info about gravitational propulsion.

Here’s the jist of it: You take some tin foil and a wire and glue it to some balsa wood in a certain configuration then apply like 20 thousand volts and it propels itself.

People all over the world are building them. There have been over 350 successful registered Lifter replications Worldwide according to the JLN Labs Website

Apparently Lifters don’t use conventional methods of propulsion. They use the Biefeld-Brown effect which means it uses ions to propel itself off of the atoms around it.

The trend has caught on so much that even NASA is experimenting with it now.

JLN Labs has been working hard to develop modular lifter panels in order to design a craft which is larger and can carry more payload. For more about modular lifter panels visit this site.

To learn more go to the JLN Labs Website and browse around. You can learn how to build your own lifter there too.
