Energy Saving Light Bulbs Hazardous To Your Health

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Problems With Energy Saving Light BulbsEnergy saving light bulbs are the typical type of thing governments usually do; when things go wrong, they patch it and then patch it some more until eventually it falls apart. It’s like painting rust; the same goes for energy saving light bulbs, it’s a quick fix to spending money on decent alternatives to energy.

The idea of an energy saving light bulb is good, until you look a little closer. Besides the concerns of these bulbs increasing your risk of skin cancer, causing migraines, possibly triggering epileptic seizers in people with photosensitive epilepsy, increase skin rashes if a person has a light sensitive skin, cause discomfort for people suffering from lupus (a condition which causes swelling and pain as the body attacks its own tissue) and so forth, the light bulb itself contains enough mercury to be a cause for concern.

The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) suggests the following: if one of these bulbs break in your home, don’t vacuum the shards up; rather sweep them away wearing rubber gloves or pick up the shards using sticky tape as protection from the mercury. Also make sure no one inhales any dust, and seal the broken pieces in a plastic bag, to dispose of at a council dump and NOT in a normal household bin!

The mercury content in an average energy saving light bulb is no more than 5 milligrams – and would fit on the tip of a ballpoint pen – but it’s still a hazardous material that could poison landfills (meaning it will eventually end up in our drinking water) or directly cause health problems in the event that one of these are broken. For this reason, used energy saving light bulbs need to be recycled rather than going in the bin and since this is a temporary solution to a much bigger problem, we need to continue looking for alternative sources of energy and keep on pushing for funding to further develop alternatives that are not more harmful to the environment than the current ones are.


Calling All Alternative Energy Researchers

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

We’re in an interesting time where lots of change is about to happen (if we allow it to happen) and alternative sources of energy is just one of these changes we can expect. It’s fascinating how most people in this world is always in reactive mode and start to make changes only when there’s an emergency or in this case, a possible energy crisis. I say possible as I don’t rely on ANY piece of information I haven’t FULLY investigated myself or understand the motive behind why such information was made available in the first place.

In the current situation, it’s irrelevant, clean renewable energy has a two-fold benefit, decentralising power away from the power grid and its owners and cleaning up the environment. If you’ve been in Jo’burg or even in Cape Town on day when the air is a thick, dirty, brown, odor from a distance, you’ll know exactly what I’m referring to, breathing that air is harmful to the human body (and every other carbon based living organism). What is the point of having the latest and greatest medical and biological research trying to lengthen the human lifespan to post 1000 years when the real problem is literally under our noses? Pollute the natural resources and we’ll eventually be the reason humanity goes extinct.

Starting another non-profit “go-green” organisation competing for funding from an ignorant government (who benefits from not going green in the short-term) and I might add ignorant public, has its tax benefits, but as my grandma always say, beggars can’t be choosers. Why settle for a non-profit organisation when what you’re working on can effectively take a cut out of Eskom’s 60 billion budget or a minor cut out of oil companies’ income who literally has trillions of dollars to play with and manipulate economies with? Even if the cut you’re getting is less than 0.01%, there will be plenty of money to play with, go do the math if you don’t believe me (call me a capitalist with green fingers, but the truth is without money no project will make it very far)

How are we going to solve the problem of funding (as well as the risk of being wiped by companies who own the energy pie)? It’s simple, we follow the same principles being used in high availability cluster computing, make the system duplicatable and we take care of the risk of being silenced (something which I’ve learned from my studies into multi level marketing is that people can’t be replicated, but systems can be and if the system is effective, anyone can replicate it, but since multi level marketing has a negative connotation, we’re going to avoid it as far as possible). The money part will require external sources of money, but that’s going to come from investors. Let’s face it, people with money will only give money if they can get a good return on their investment and that’s exactly the idea. Investors will literally pay to clean up the planet and investors will eventually get a fantastic return on their investment.

Where do you come into the picture? Anyone can be part of this as this project will require time, money and skill investment from as many people as possible, doesn’t matter how big or small it is. Everything you put into this project will be seen as an investment instead of a handout; nobody invests time and money in a project if it’s not going to put food on their table in the long run.

The project will be known as Project KOTS where the acronym KOTS stands for Knowledge Of The Source and where the source refers to energy. Everything in this world is made of energy, even Einstein knew that (E=mc² the mass-energy equivalence equation). If you’re currently working on ANY form of alternative energy research or implementation, I want to hear from you, you’ll be a valuable asset to the network of existing researchers. If you’re working on go-green projects non energy related, I also want to hear from you; income from work done on alternative energy will effectively be funding the go-green projects until it can be expanded to self sustained projects.

Contact me on jan@mycee.com and we can take it from there (Have visited several people working on such projects and was absolutely blown away by all the work that went into building those workable prototypes). Anything that can generate clean renewable energy is welcome, that includes, but is not exclusive to:

  • Solar Power
  • Wind Power
  • Geothermal
  • Bioenergy

… and more specifically

  • Solid-State Electromagnetic Free Energy Generators
  • Rotary Electromagnetic Free Energy Generators
  • Oscillated Power or Energy Resonance
  • Electromagnetic Lifter Technologies
  • Water-Enhanced Combustion Technologies (better known as hydroxy injection systems)
  • Electrostatic Combustion Technologies
  • Electromagnetic Free Energy Motors
  • Plasma Arc Reactors
  • Stubblefield Earth Battery and Communication Technologies
  • Technologies Using Precursor Engineering Physics
  • Kowsky-Frost Antigravity Technology (will make transport more environmentally friendly)
  • Systems using Negative Resistance
  • Other Potential Energy Producing Technologies

The mailing list will be up and running again by the 7th of July, it’s currently down for maintenance, in the meanwhile, leave a comment or send me an email and I’ll add you to the mailing list when it’s up and running.

I’ll be in touch.

RedBull Exposed

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

As an ex-energy drink addict, I’m really glad people like Shane Ellison is fighting for the health of the consumer. There was a stage in my life where I went through 7-10 energy drinks per day to stay alive (no wonder I went insomniac), I’ve tried them all, Bioplus, RedBull, Glucozade, SOS, Play, Dark Dog, etc etc etc . . . My favorite line to use when meeting new people usually went something like: “Hallo, my name is XXX and I’m a Bioplus addict!”

The bottom line is, they all contain sugar, lots of sugar!!! Sugar causes heart disease, diabetes, obesity and cancer.

Watch how Shane Ellison makes his own RedBull for a lot cheaper than buying a can of RedBull, without the sugar while still preserving the sweet taste as well as the kick you get from the Caffeine, Ginseng & Guarana!
