Seeking a spot of serenity somewhere in the universe, I recently booked a deep-discount dodgy berth on the ‘White Elephant Express Space Shuttle’, to a little known place in a galaxy far, far away. “IT” (otherwise known as HD 36405.b) is not your average “oddball” exo-solar planet made of rock ...

| 133 | Subtle Energy for Healing; The Work of Dr. Yury Kronn Preview: In 1933 came the first hint that something was horribly wrong with Modern Physics' view of the universe. The galaxies and star clusters were moving away from each other, and doing it in ways that just couldn't be possible given the basic assumptions of science at the time. From that day forward, scientists have been baffled and befuddled as the vi... (more) Published By: Boyd Martin Submitted: 24 October,2004 |

| 135 | Explosive Air Preview: Have you considered your air compressor as a potential bomb? If you have not, then you better! Use non-oil free air compressors with caution. Chances are, your air compressor pipelines may have already accumulated a sizable amount of oil. Does your air compressor work non-stop? Is the inter-cooler or after-cooler efficient? Is your compres... (more) Published By: Thomas Yoon Submitted: 05 November,2004 |
| 136 | Expansion for Heat Absorption Preview: In the refrigeration cycle, the refrigerant must undergo a change in state in order for the heat to be absorbed from the environment. The refrigerant has the property of changing its state from liquid to vapor at normal room temperatures. Have you ever felt your skin becoming cool whenever you put alcohol on it? Or even when a bit of petrol... (more) Published By: Thomas Yoon Submitted: 05 November,2004 |
| 137 | Cooling Down by Evaporating Preview: Evaporator coils of air conditioning systems are sometimes called cooling coils. But cooling coils are also used in air-handling units. These contain chilled water. These are completely different from those used in direct expansion air cond units. So cooling coils is not an accurate word to use in small air cond units. Evaporator coils shoul... (more) Published By: Thomas Yoon Submitted: 05 November,2004 |

It even was hard for most to accept the Kelts at the time of Caesar had this technology at that time despite the words of Caesar. Some people think knowledge once gained i...

| 139 | Why Condition Your Boiler Water? Preview: A boiler is used for generating steam. It does this by heating water to its boiling point, after which steam will evaporate from it. When you boil a kettle of water, you will shut off the fire or electric power when the water comes to a boil. No so with a steam boiler. Generation of steam is a continuous process. Once a boiler is generatin... (more) Published By: Thomas Yoon Submitted: 09 November,2004 |
| 140 | Get Hot on Combustion! Preview: Energy in the form of heat is obtained when fuel is burnt in air. The release of this heat energy can be slow or can be very rapid. When fuel oil is sprayed as a fine mist in the boiler burners, it is able to burn at a relatively slow rate. When fuel is sprayed into the cylinders of diesel engines, the fuel burns in such a rapid rate that explos... (more) Published By: Thomas Yoon Submitted: 10 November,2004 |

Skeptics may say that God doesn't exist and I am inclined to agree he/she isn't within our purview to limit and say we know; HIM, or even what it is tha...

In its pure form it is hard enough to be used in counters, floors, paving, surface re-facing, and recently it has been incorporated into stone home furnishing items such as coasters, tables, and chess boards.
