To go one step back... What's the motive of destroying the towers? With all the magic technology that must be there in this scenario, it can't be about oil... Actually this is an incredibly good point. If there really was a way to suck the energy out of a hurricane so as to run a DEW of the nature required to do what Woods claims, why the heck aren't they using it to run the entire USA's power grid? Why consider new Fision reactors, coal or hydro? Why continue the research into fussion? Here is a potentially endless suply of virtually free energy that could be tapped and pumped into the US grid, used to produce hydrogen for fuel cells and switch the entire US from oil to eletricity, making vast amounts of money for those in charge of the project, and instead they use it twice, then scrap it and go back to oil? That doesn't make the least bit of sense. But when did a conspiracy theorist bother about things such as sense?

The title of this thread mentions Tesla Coils as well as hurricanes so, at the risk of sending it off at a tangent, can someone explain what Tesla Coils have to do with this? I've been doing some boning up on the things via Wiki and various references it comes up with, but can't really see the connection...

Even if his identity proves to be correct, it doesn't mean to say he is not making this up...

I had a quick peek in there too, but no-one was home. Will try again this evening.

What if there was a chatroom and nobody came? ;D

I'm English, not American. I saw the 9/11 incident unfold live on TV in the office. I still find it staggering that some people cannot accept the perfectly premise that the aircraft were hijacked and flown into the buildings as a terrorist act, and instead have to weave these tremendously complex arguments, deny the eye-witness and phorensic evidence, accuse all sorts of people of lying/covering up, invent new technologies with no supporting evidence, and basically make fools of themselves. Why? What is so unbelievable about the "official" sotry (for want of a better word) that makes it neccessary to go to these lengths? As an old Northern expression has it: "there's nowt so queer as folk."

I wonder how long it will be before it comes over here? I await developments with much interest...

I echo the previous comments. Let's have the evidence that the drop in windspeed, rise in pressure, and change in direction were not due to natural properties of a hurricane in those sea/atmosphere conditions.

Thanks for the info, Obviousman. Once I get through First Man (it's a BIG book!) I'll have a trawl through those.

Just wanted to say I managed to pick up a copy of First Man (the Neil Armstrong biography for those who haven't come across it). So far I've got as far as the Gemini VIII mission and it's problems. Fascinating read so far.

Not being at all religious myself (but I have no problem with people who want to be) , I've tended to do no more than skim this debate from time to time. My own view is that it's not religion that's good or bad, it's what people do with it that causes the problems.

It's incredible, isn't it, how what started out as a 20-minute job snowballs into a major project! ;D I've had this happen so many times I've lost count. Known in the trade as "Specification Creep", "Requirements Creep" and various other labels, depending on which Project Management technique you use.

Personally, I think Free Speech is a misnomer. No matter how laudable an ideal, there will always be problems with incitement to hatred of one group or another, criminality, treasonous outbursts and other such-like issues that will get the people reading the item upset/angry/whatever. It's in the nature of humans, I think, to take umbrage at some things others say, even if they don't directly involve us. It doesn't mean we can't try, of course, but I truly think it's a target we will be doomed to never hit.
