I use the The Whole Brain Catalog on my PC. It is a 3-D imaging program for a database of structures in the brain. These videos talk about it:

Muammer Yildiz's Motor
Here are the links to everything you ever wanted to know about the devices.
link to information on the Yildiz Motor
Finally there is a patent that actually tells how to build one. The prototypes cost 22,000 Euro to build. He estimates cost will come down to 4 to 5 thousand Euro with mass production.

It says something about our world that Muammer looks for permission from his lawyer before he admits he invented the device.

Graphene Lectures that I Watched
These are rather long lectures about graphene. The first was not tagged as graphene.

Keri Recipe for Making Graphene
Keri researchers
placed graphite and frozen carbon dioxide in a ball miller, which is a canister
filled with stainless steel balls. The canister was turned for two days and the
mechanical force produced flakes of graphite with edges essentially opened up
to chemical interaction by carboxylic acid formed during the milling.
The carboxylated edges make the graphite soluble in a
class of solvents called protic solvents, which include water and methanol, and
another class called polar aprotic solvents, which includes dimethyl sulfoxide.
Once dispersed in a solvent, the flakes separate into
graphene nanonsheets of five or fewer layers.
To
form large-area graphene nanosheet films, a solution of solvent and the
edge-carboxylated graphene nanosheets was cast on silicon wafers 3.5
centimeters by 5 centimeters, and heated to 900 degrees Celsius. Again, the
heat decarboxylated the edges, which then bonded with edges of neighboring
pieces. The researchers say this process is limited only by the size of the
wafer. The electrical conductivity of the resultant large-area films, even at a
high optical transmittance, was still much higher than that of their
counterparts from the acid oxidation.
By using ammonia or sulfur trioxide as substitutes for dry
ice and by using different solvents, "you can customize the edges for
different applications," Baek said. "You can customize for
electronics, supercapacitors, metal-free catalysts to replace platinum in fuel
cells. You can customize the edges to assemble in two-dimensional and three-dimensional
structures."

Dashka's Stone
AF: You say that the slab is a map. What is it that makes you think that?
AC: At the start, we thought that the surface of the rock was simply cracked because of its great age or its natural structure. But when we began examining a little more near these signs we identified them as rivers. I discovered that the right banks of the rivers were clearly marked, while the left banks were more polished. This is thus in as in reality because of the effect of the rotation of the Earth and forces of Coriolis. I have therefore looked at the edges of the canals to determine the direction of the current of the rivers. The fact is that the laws of Coriolis and Beer weren�t discovered until last century. What a shock to see that this map had been conceived according to these principles. In most cases, these two indices not sufficient to assert that it was a matter of a map.
A map is a mathematical system, thus when I calculated the distance between the height and the width of the rock, I discovered that the angle of the tangential was one of 54 degrees, which corresponds to the Ufa latitude. At this stage, the meaning of a certain sign figuring on the map was clear. This was a circle crossed by two tangential lines and the angle between the two was exactly 54 degrees. That gave me the key to calculate the exact latitude of the drawn area on the map and, from there, find the mathematical system on which the map was based. And this corresponds perfectly to all the recent maps of the region. The system used is neither that of Mercator nor that of Gauss-Kluger.
But to erect a map, the cartographic principles are not sufficient. It is equally necessary to use conventional signs, that we deduced from the inscriptions. One understood that the map represented 32 dams inside a hydrographic system. That shows that the map is the work of a civilization that had to control its rivers with the assistance of barriers - a little like Holland today.

A Curious Comment on CleantechBlog
I am still wondering about that curios exchange on CleantechBlog last August:
My name is Travis Bryant Moore and I propose the idea of using nickel powder with pressurized hydrogen and set into Low nuclear reactions with a Tesla coil of 100,000volts to 2million volts.
No. Take 2 copper disks size of a penny. Put a dent in one. Mix ultra fine magnesium hydride soft iron powder and nickel powder in equal portions. Make sure ALL ball milling, preparation and procedures are strictly inert atmosphere and dry box manipulations. Compress a portion of the mix to a small pill which fits easily into the disk indentation. Seal the chamber, welding with jeweler's tools. Place reactor in a small beaker with water. Place on top of induction coil heating unit. Cause the water to boil from heat induced by alternating magnetic field. Once boiling, turn off the induction heater. Keep adding water as the boiling will continue by itself for ? years. Mine is still boiling after over 5 years.
If this is so, why not spread the information around? Or is it a secret, like the Rossi BS.
