  • (5) Got a welcome to Lake Co present for yer vineyard. Check out on YouTube some vids under "ram pump". These are simple water pumps that use only gravity's energy, but can lift water nearly 20 feet for every 1 foot height on the supply. No electricity needed. Simple & cheap hardware. You can do >15 gpm flow with no motors or power. Tech issues presently prevent use inside well casings, but I may have solved that issue and need to test a prototype there. Want my pumps off-grid and simple.

  • (4) Have plenty of other "crazy tech" loves: water conversion to hydrogen among super aggressive electrolysis in Iron Man-like plasma chamber for feeding little gensets; extremely long duration power cells for computing, industry, unmanned electric birds, deep space power, etc. Various taboo quackery that I'd like to showcase on my farm kinda like Hopland's Solar Living Center but with an aerospace and space colonization/agriculture in space slant. Too many irons in the fire as usual, though!

  • (3) Getting tired of seeing so many kids out here tweaked out on drugs and the area's good ones certainly need a CAP and Young Eagle's program. Can't do it alone. I do have some fun aerospace education goodies to put on display in the hangar, too. Electrokinectic thrusters - presently sealing in plastic to disprove the Ion Wind theory garbage and demonstrate from asymmetric capacitance's impact upon the gravitic plane, which is actually a magnetic cousin.

  • (2) Have an Experimental client possibly basing in the hangar a couple mos out. Or, I may base some small scale UAS research prototypes there for flight testing (new dynalifter design and suystems of mine). I'm mostly into pretty far out spacecraft propulsion & power subsystems + overall space systems & missions. Still some aero. A bit out of currency last few years, so I opened my A&P shop as a base for upgrading my licenses to the IA.

  • Hi Pete! Nice to hear from you. That's funny. You own a vineyard below the mountain and my friend built a winery but has no local vines yet. I should introduce you. My own place would be perfect for 5 acres of vines, but it's an ag bus I don't know and my interests are elsewhere, so I stick to livestock and my nerd work. When you get up here again, let's meet. If you park in Lampson, you're welcome to tiedown outside my hangar or base inside it for now. It sits empty at the moment.

  • Hi Pete. I didn't have any date set, but the system here says you signed up for the event! :-) Pleased to meet you.
