Lightbulb Aussie energy

YouTube - FREE ENERGY Home Generator -Zero Point Energy - Off the Grid
Seems several inventors are succeeding at reviving Nikola Tesla's fabled magnet motor to work. $5k for a home generator - off the grid & no wind or chemicals, water or other normal means. The theories that allow it to work are still just out of my focus, but I think we could see it back in autos before too long as he had his before a crowd of witch hunters.

Yep, nothin' here, but searching

I'm turning myself into a Mobius Strip trying to get one, but I think we're sunk for a few weeks. Meantime, I get sent on wild goose chases for one or another family errand, usually where they GOTTA have the 4x4. Needed that to get the pizzas they ordered. Groesbeck & other main roads are pretty bad into some entrances. Right after driving since 1 pm on 2 others. Sheesh. Wonder if they could pay me a bit for tearing apart my dad's 4.6L V8. He got a lifter tick which could be timing chain. The sound is spread out more than I'd figure for one loose lifter. I offered, but he's going for our fav old garage on Friday for thier opinion. Well, actually the issue should be much clearer what's up just pulling the valve cover, but then Buck's is really good & reasonable.
Maybe I could kill rime by scrounging up cash to tune up the transfer case & find some Mile Maker hubs. The driver's side auto Warn IS screwed up. As I said, I had time using 4wd today.

Musing

I've been musing more & more over the past several months I think the Gov Granholm is pushing guys like me South. She & the other politicians have been pushing to set up shop for automotive startups around Ann Arbor. They figure on the white collar density, seeming to ignore the workforce needed to support actually producing anything. Ann Arbor is a big university town with a lot of engineers, profs, execs & the like for residents. Blue collar would need to earn a huge wage, co-opt with roomies or commute from an outlying area. What I've noticed is industry has been seeming to try growth around here, close to Canada & other areas with better stabilty then over there. Strongest area period is around Fort Wayne, Indiana. In any case, I may need to move out of my comfy zone & get a blasted GPS toy to adjust. Long as it doesn't get confused & having me drive illegally on a 1-way street or something.
The state & feds want Michigan to the leaders in energy R&D, but we all they're full of it.I'd be happy to do machining work or anything for a promising company, but I don't see that happening. Rather go down south & build import autos.

Ugh. Me thinks I need to reshape me noggin like an egg. Some CompTIA certs would do if I charge up enough neurons to absorb all the trivia they persist in demanding.
