Browsing through the BMJ as you do when i came across this article. Quite interesting. http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/327/7429/1424

I want to have a discussion on this topic because I believe the statement is true. Please, I'm not saying that I think it is exactly 10%. What I'm saying is that the general notion is correct, mainly, that we use very little of our brain power.

From the BBC: Link Perhaps this lot didn't pray hard enough?

The leaders have had a go at it many times, and never achieved a lasting resolution. According to this article, http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/11/27/1069825913841.html the problem is that they have always tried to get the easy things out of the way first, and leave the hard ones to...

This guy woowoo'd Texas and part of Colorado into his own little country. :D Republic of Texas?

Here in Mass. theres been alot of talk of putting wind turbines in areas off the Nantcuket, cape Cod , and other Coastal zones. Youd think more popel would be into it. THe town of Hull (near Boston) has a widnmill that supposably saves the town $100,000 a year in electric payments. Its right...

I was thinking this morning about nations where power is consolidated in one person. Absolute power. Iraq under Hussein, Cuba under Castro, North Korea under headscratcher... There are many others. And these guys can do whatever they please within their own borders. Use chemical weapons on...

Solar Power Goes Organic Another iffy one.

Why do we still use "horsepower" as a unit of measurement for power? How many people can mentally conceive of how much power "x horsepower" really is? What does it convert to? If a motor is rated at one horsepower, what does that tell me? How likely is it that I would know what one horse is...

I'm thinking of getting a windmill powered generator set up this winter. I'd like to use it to power a small heater to help keep my polytunnel frost-free. Surprisingly enough, I'm finding it quite difficult to locate anyone who can help with this. I've seen small windmills attached to yachts...

Everyone by now knows about the massive power failure. What does everyone think about the real causes? I heard a lightning bolt hit the hydro pland at US side of Niagra Falls. But why did it spread so far? I tend to blame the voters and politicians who deregulated the US energy system which...

The story Natural occurrence?:confused:

I am a newbie so go easy on me. Looking at Bob Park's What's New for last Friday, he discusses the efficiency fallacy of hydrogen fuel, i.e. the energy required to make hydrogen fuel is greater than energy provided. He uses an analogy of "You can buy an apple for one euro. If you really want...

I just read (at this link): <div style="border: solid black 1px; margin: 16px; padding: 16px; background-color: #fff8f0;">The best hour cycle performance so far has been Rominger's effort in Bordeaux in 1994 where he produced a power output of around 460 W.</div> Am I understanding this to...

Maybe these YB people can get together with the free-energy-powering-cars people to get the damn things up and running! :) Have you checked out the YB webpage yet? Yeesh! What a load of codswallop! This was the same crap I saw on that Bill Moyers "Healing & the Mind" years ago. Check out...
