Re: Okay, so....
Fel, I couldn't resist the temptation of sending this: http://www.cbc.ca/news/offbeat/story/2012/07/05/wdr-solar-panel-beer-fridge.html Since it will run a TV, Lights and a fridge - I thought it might run a small air conditioner. (I know it sounds similar to closing the barn door after the horse has...

Re: Thor's Child & Detour to Otherwhen
Hey, GBLW, I'm not sure which I want more: an update on Thor's Child , or an update on the prototype steam engine. Any successes with the designs yet (don't need details if you can't or don't want to give them out)? I assume that you are about done with the computer modeling at this point. The draw...

Re: Okay, so....
Man I can sympathize with you, because that sort of heat would probably have killed me! The first three days after Christmas in 1996 I went through the opposite - we had well over four feet of snow in Brentwood Bay, just north of Victoria. I was wharfinger on a dock there and we were constantly shov...

Re: Earth Bond Chapter 18 Discussion (spoilers!)
they 'mimic' the water they are in. Why? Why would they have ever developed that capacity? Why would they 'just happen to have' a spell/ability custom built to exactly counter a threat they do not understand, and which did not exist until about thirty years ago? And why are you unable to admit that...

Re: Thor's Child & Detour to Otherwhen
I was approached a few months ago by a well-to-do individual who had read "AfterShock" and he broached the idea of having me develop a marine steam engine and boiler similar to that which was used in the 'Skolka' - the boat in the story. He had found a vessel which he is having refurbished...

Re: Thor's Child & Detour to Otherwhen
Well, I really haven't done much writing in the last while - instead I've been 'engineering' again. I've been developing a design for a two cylinder, double acting, compound steam engine, complete with an integral, semi-automatic 'simpling valve' for ease of start-up. I've finally gotten most of my ...

Re: Earth Bond Chapter 18 Discussion (spoilers!)
And it's not really a case of if, but when this happens. The Dragons murdered the citizens of china. (And of other countries?) They hack everyone's computer networks. They developed software weapons of mass destruction. They steal nuclear fuel. They steal technology. And they plan to steal priceles...

Re: Earth Bond Chapter 18 Discussion (spoilers!)
Go watch Titanic again. Where this happens on screen. There is no such things as a area of the ship below the waterline that will (A) sink the ship if flooded and (B) has no people inside. If you want to get really creative, we can also add requirement (C) that the captain won't ordered sealed (wit...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Arizona_%28shipwreck%29 It's also what happens when you rip open a ship from stem to sturn, as the dragons have plainly stated they intend to do. No, not really! Slicing a narrow hole, say 15 - 20% greater than the capabilities of the bilge pumping facilities on an ...

Re: Links to Good Reading (Part 2)
I don't know if I or anyone else has mentioned Wes Boyd and his "Spearfish Lake tales before, but even if his writing has been mentioned before, it's worth mentioning them again. His tales can be found at; http://www.spearfishlaketales.com/index.htm If you haven't found them before now, I'd sug...

Re: Good Books (Scifi)
Still locked up and will be for a very long time since the copyright wasn't allowed to lapse on the Paratime stories and was bought up by John F Carr. Back in 1984 they did a reprint on them and then Carr started writing overpriced new stories in the series (unless you by the E Book version). As a ...

Re: Earth Bond, chapter 18.
Thanks,(you snuck this in after I went back to bed - at least I got a little over 2 hours of sleep, so I'm awake enough to read it.)
