Road to the Future
Imagine getting into your electric car, which you had unplugged from your home electric circuit, then driving to a major highway system that worked like a distribution warehouse. That is one that picks up a product in one spot and delivered it to the desired location via sky rails. Can you imagine your auto being built in a fashion that it could connect to the system without it or the system slowing?
Imagine that while you are delivered leisurely to a point near your final destination, you are being entertained; your auto is being cooled or heated, the batteries are being topped off and the cost of the trip is being charged to your debit or credit card.
Imagine a system that will nearly eliminate accidents on your long distance travels.
Imagine the system mostly being built over the existing right of ways of the interstate and other systems with very little environmental impact. The Carbon impact of cars would be reduced tremendously.
Imagine putting Trillions of dollars on systems for the future rather than those that are antiquated or on a high speed train using yesterday?s technology. Americans will not use it because they love their personal autos and you lack transportation at both ends. Do we need to catch up with Japan or show them a better way? How about ?A Giant Leap for Mankind? in which everyone participates?
Imagine the millions of people that would be employed as we design, build and deploy a system that would make our country the envy of the world. By building the worlds most modern transportation system the economy would boom. With the systems for moving people and goods in place, the economy should continue to flourish. The standard of living should rise. We can export these materials and this knowledge to the rest of the world, further fueling the economy.
Imagine the earnings growth of our major corporations and the participation of hundreds of small businesses as they provide the plans, tooling and products required to assemble the system.
Imagine people from all walks of life in the U. S. being brought together with the pride of creating the world of future.
I believe that we as a nation can do this. What do you think? Let me know your thoughts.

RE: NASA building R&D campus for tech start-ups
in a time when the nation is looking at cutting back on projects that directly affect people now, including such things as social security, it is clear to me that spending items like this campus and modular nuclear reactors, to name a few, should be fielded by big business instead of big government.

I think NASA will succeed in this idea, and NASA must test more innovative idea in this campus. Maybe innovators need a time space sharing ideas together. is it?

RE: NASA building R&D campus for tech start-ups
Although the idea is great I fail to understand why the government is doing it. With all the bragging that Republicans have done about cutting the budget and Reaganomics, and a 13 Trillion deficit this does not make sense. There are people dying in the streets daily because they either don't have a roof over their head, medical care, or food to keep them healthy enough to keep living. Business has socked away Trillions of dollars of private capital so they do not need the help. The question is would they do this if the government did not? This is more of a project for the 1970s when business paid their fair share of taxes to support this. I do think that it is admirable that we are able to do things like this in an economic depression when millions are out of work. I do think that it should be finished but that it should also be used to help people with training and employment for students (internships) and other things. After this is finished something like this should not be financed by the government again, but by free enterprise, or business.

RE: NASA building R&D campus for tech start-ups
I was under the impression that NASA stood for NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION????? Again, what is big brother doing anticipating trillions of more deficit spending??
We need to sprinkle some "MAJIC DUST" over the White House and Congress and make those self-serving idiots disappear and start over with people who know what the Constitution was written for in the first place.
Bad idea for the plan!

The attached, is our story of our entrepreneurial "New Plastic Electromagnetic AC/DC Generator/Motor" You can power an Auto Indefinitely.
This Generator/Motor has one moving part, will power a Car, Truck, AUGS, UAV, RV, several years with no Hydrocarbons, all it's Propulsion, and its electrical requirements. Conventional Capacitors power this Generator/Motor. It burns no Fossil fuel; therefore there are no Greenhouse gases or Emissions or Radiator. No exhaust, undetectable to heat seeking devices, almost indestructible.
This Generator/Motor is modular; it can be 1/10 HP to 10,000 HP.
Weighing less than 350 lbs, the 600 HP model removes thousands lbs of; Motor and Fuel, from any of this equipment, could be used in any size Aircraft, Tanks, Boats, Trucks, UAV?S, AUGS, MRAP.
It would not need refueling for several years. Eliminates Fuel Logistics and develops an alternate Energy source.
The technology can adapt to include, Power Source and Heat pump for heating offices, barracks, Factories, Home heating and cooling, powering hand tools, Hand Held devices (Lap Top Computer) will stay powered several years.
In outer Space, at those temperatures, this Generator/Motor becomes a super conductor and would use even less power. It could replace Solar Panels and Batteries in Satellites, Moon Rovers, and Space Labs.
This Generator/Motor has 5 Electromagnets in each of 2 Stators powering 2 Permanent Magnets in each of 3 Rotors attached to the power shaft, on each side of the stators, in this model. As the Permanent Magnet comes face to face with one of the Electromagnets, Polarity is changed to: N, N, & SS, compressing the ?Magnetic Field?, like orientation repels.
As there are an uneven number of electromagnets, the opposite Permanent magnet is being repelled by the last E-mag and attracted by the next E-mag causing rotation.
A secondary winding on each of the E-magnets generates massive AC power, as in a transformer. This is accumulated in the capacitors to power the Generator/Motor.
The hart of this G/M is the control system that switches the polarity 133 times per second @ 4,000 RPM?s on each Electromagnet.
I know this flies in the face the "laws of physics" however this is a new Paradigm; we are multiplying the stored magnetic energy of each Permanent Magnet over 66 times per second. The Permanent Magnet energy ?never depletes?. It actually increases in strength the more it is compressed. The faster it is run, the Amperage draw is reduced as the ?On Time? is reduced. The energy we use is only changing polarity on the Electromagnets.
Multiplying the Permanent Magnet Energy and Centrifugal force do the work; the transformers (electromagnets) are 90% separate from the operation of the motor.
This is the first time in recorded history that anyone has a machine that produces more energy than it uses.
You must see what these young guys in Burt Mi. have done. This will change the politics of the Oil Industry.
We would love to demonstrate it for you

RE: NASA building R&D campus for tech start-ups
Sound like a kick in the pants off the former SBIR program. Why does Google need to b]=be in a tech campus (Gvt sponsored) fofr startups? Bad budBad business. Let the industry do it alone.

The real test is whether this will be able to spawn start-ups that
create more than just software or cloudware. There's nothing
wrong with software based startups, but they have a relatively
friendly environment as it is and are succeeding without much
support (startup costs are low and one can start with a laptop in
a coffee shop).
Organizations that create physical products; take biotechnology,
electronics and applied physics could really benefit from shared
resources like lab space, equipment, technicians, shops, etc...

Speaker: We had an opportunity here, with the fit in Silicon Valley as an R&D center for NASA, to be able to network and possibly do more than each individual organization could do if we could find ways of leveraging research, talent, and facilities. So the idea of a physical research park in Silicon Valley, with the takeover of the other 1200 acres from the former Naval air station, seemed pretty easy as a commonsense beginning to this. From that time to where we are today, we have over 70 partners onsite, inaudible of one. We don't make money from our partners; neither do we subsidize them. They pay into our cost pools here, and they pay fair market value rent. We've developed a culture of collaboration. Most of the time, if you talk to a researcher, they didn't get their stuff done the night before, they came in, and the last thing they want is somebody from the administrative side coming in, hey, how'd you like to go meet these other people. But what we've managed to do here today is to bring a lot of people for different purposes doing R&D. this is an R&D and education campus. They come in here. They lease property. They grow. We love startups. We've had some of them, like Bloom Energy that I'll touch on, that started in one office. A number of diverse entities. But what we really have is the ability to share ideas. And if you're in the R&D world or education world, we really need ideas. There's not as much money there anymore as there used to be to do those things, so the fundamental of leveraging resources, talent is the baseline philosophy of this park. We have just a couple very large-scale leases you may have heard about in the press. A consortium of universities, called "University Associates, LLC," limited liability company, has -- led by the University of California -- plans on building a brand new green tech campus that I'm going to show you a little drawing of in a minute, in addition to a lease to Google of 42 acres. And parts of both those entities are already on our site now, doing things with us. But the idea of being able to use part of that environmental entitlement of nearly five million new square feet of construction here for these partnerships to build campuses onsite that include nearly 1.9 million square feet of rental housing for low-paid faculty, you know, students to live onsite gives you the 24/7 idea of sharing ideas.
