re that link (for what it`s worth)
orbs of water from a marble dropping in a pool - waves simulating particle behavior?!?
energy from compression - I have no idea. "What you propose violates the second law of thermodynamics"- Aren`t laws meant to be broken ? Maybe somebody a little ignorant should give it a try?
earths gravity to produce electricity - Isn`t that water wheels?
the energy used by gravity - I know too much to accept that concept.
John Galt - Energy from the Earths magnetism - Impractical. I saw 'The Core' and that didn`t go too well!
free energy from gravity - I know too much to accept that concept
Kapanadze Free Energy Device Replication- Insufficient data- To me at the moment it looks like a magic trick.

Been there. Some dude named bubba with horns throwed me out and told me not to come back since I don't believe in hell.

Why does there need to be a god for there to be something after we die? I can easily dismiss the concept of any gods but the idea that consciousness lives on after we shuffle off this mortal coil is very attractive. And I don't have to change the way I live in this life to entertain the idea that there might be something more after it. In fact, without the whole God/sin/worship/heaven/hell franchise, I don't even need to speculate what comes after. Maybe all I need is a sense of wonder and awe at what a marvelous place this universe is.

Perhaps heaven is the excitement of learning what's beyond and hell is being afraid of some vengeful deity.

All hillbillies go to hell rigney, it's a familiar place for most of us... If there is a god, for there to be hell he has to be a specific god. the concept of hell is not universal nor is it ancient. Christians came up with the concept, Muslims liked it so much they incorporated it into their religion as well. I would prefer, if I must believe, to believe in a god who is more just than the concept of hell allows for.

Sometimes I think people feel they have to join one camp or the other. Absolute certainty that God exists or absolute certainty that he doesn't. My truthful stance is that I really don't know and don't understand why people say I must decide. Like you I shall know. or not know, as the case may be soon enough! If God exists I cannot believe He will condemn me for using the reasoning powers He has given me to doubt His existence!

I quite like the vision of Heaven and Hell given in the link.

Thorium-232 breeds U-233 which could potentially be used in a nuclear device. sure, it won't be as good as plutonium, but it'll get the job done and could be used as a primary in a multistage device.

Actually the video does explain that, thorium cannot be used to make bombs, current nuclear reactors produce weapons grade material, at the start of the nuclear age bombs were what it was all about. Here is another good video about thorium.
