Zero waste

Regular readers to this post have read a lot in recent years about sustainable recycled and reused all cleashade words. You know the in yuppie thing. Well they are old school as the new word is zero waste. Leave no photo zit nothing zero waste. Some thing like the previous post. This is to be the philosophy of this site  from now on but also to tell a story or yarn at the same time. This is going to be a challenge and interesting at the same time. Cheers Iggle

Where is the Bubble Puppy

        OK, this is odd story

This is the Welpe Luft-Blassen  or bubble puppy in english

It was built by a Nazi scientist conscripted by the American Military to work in New Mexico during WW 2. Count S. von Teleki disappeared without trace and they claim that to this day nobody knows what the BubblePuppy was designed to do. It was was lost for a number of years until being found in an old crate in Alamogordo, New Mexico during the 1980's.

The pix are of a copy of the Bubble Puppy made by an artist who claims to have only been allowed to see a glimpse of the blueprints. The story is that its all top secret kinda shit although they never come right out and say that.

Now apparently a movie has been made about the Bubble Puppy but hasn't been released yet.

World heritage area being distroyed

The Australian government is destroying the great barrier reef with the Queensland state government. Fish are inedible from Gladstone Harbour.Some people will not let there children touch the waters of the harbour.

Fish have red exploding eyes, lesions to the skin then the flesh are then destroyed. By a parasites that come from dredging.
The disease is a stress related problem.. Water quality has been effected by flood waters, What ever the problem the dredging and harbour activities should stop.
 Dredging has had to be stopped due to water quality on several occasions. Water quality is a matter of what is tested for.
 High reading of heavy metals has been recorded and follow up tests have now been carried out,  and serious issues exist Sharks are also effected.
  Fishing grounds have been affected. Du gongs are dying.and these area endangered species with over one hundred deaths of Du-gongs have been reported. Turtles are also being effected.
Vessels movements have trebled in the area. Many ports are to be developed in the world heritage area.
 If you want to see the barrier reef then don't wait as it might not be there in the future.
If there is a ship grounding again then the reef is doomed.

 Write to Tony Burke the environment minister and voice your opposition.
 The flat back turtle is under treat and is an endangered species.
 Bass bay is also under threat as well. The managers of the reef park have no teeth to stop the destruction. Thirteen % of the reef has been destroyed .
Coral is dying, Stop the resources boom at the expense of the reef, the reef is lasting resource and the liquid gas is only here for a short time....

drug sub has finally hit the water

Doing do-nuts in its own length.
At speed in a creek.
Cabin interior which is larger than a real drug sub.
This is the final post on the drug sub/ It worked as good as expected with a small problem of tracking, some work will have to be investigated on this and propeller pitch as it does as fast in idle as at top speed. The top photo shows it on the Shoalhaven river.

Blue gums are dying across Australia

This is a major problem that has not been recognised and must be seen for what it is. The problems are that minuscule amounts of phosphorus is effecting the Tassie tigers and the same goes for the trees but it is not phosphorus. I was in the wilderness area of Pidgion mountains in the south east of the state and was speaking to a local bushman and he has noticed the dying. Now this is totally random dying one in a stand of blue gums and it is not the oldest it is any age height middle of the stand or the outside ones even trees sorronded by healthy trees.
The problem comes from the bi products of the automobile and maybe from the rubber particles from the tyres or the products of combustion and this is attacked by a fungus to clean up our mess. Now you see the problem..Maybe the trees are going to attack people!

Water mills design

We did some work on cross flow water turbines and one of the common mistakes is to put the electrical part of the generating system below or level with the wheel.
Place the electric above the wheel away from the water, water falls and placing the generator above the wheel keeps it dry . Hope this helps some one...
