  1. Not being an engineer..separating water into H2 and O2 with electricity seems simple but how do you separate the two gases?
    I can see how mass production of H2 gas will have many issues to solve.
    Also, H2 gas requires O2 to be supplied for it to burn, so O2 would also be needed to make a H2 burning engine to work. H2 burns at a very high ambiant temperature, that takes very tough engine or an effective cooling system, not using water, H2 and water bad combination. Water would be the exhaust created however.
    damn, i should have stayed an engineering major.

    atmosphere, the trick is to seperate it from the air.


    The process of producing Hydrogen gas is to separate the Hydrogen and Oxygen of water molecules, H2O, with electrolosis. it is a rather simple process. The only by product is Oxygen.
    The only hold up is the Oil industry controlled Gov't and Auto industry.

    If a court has adjudicated you as an unfit parent ......
    NEVER HAPPENED.


    Then you can get her from them, you just have to be willing to go to the lengths you will have to, and be ready for the speculations, and fallout, it is not an easy decision. Try getting a unbias mediator to work with you and your parents, alot less expensive than court and your parents will see how serious you are about wanting to raise your child yourself.

    On a side note, I think its kind of scarey that the amount of metal I have punched through various parts of my body doesn't set anything off

    not knowing exactly where you have extra metal, but guessing, I can imagine the questions and responses you would get if they check you with a hand held metal detector. get ready for the strip search.

    Honey, ain't no war commin' this way



    Do you actually believe that? Do you think that we are going to just sit here perfectly safe because we are in the USA? If we start a war in the middle east, there will be more terrorist attacks in the USA than can be imagined, that this the only way they can contend with the USA. and that is "war comin' this way"

    Think before you speak - it has a great future! There is nothing glorious of good about a war. Just tears, fear the smell of shit and blood. Torn of limbs, maimed friends and lot's of painful deaths. There are no heroes, just kids scared shitles doing stupid things to survive. If war happens it will affect YOU, so don't call for it unless you don't like your hands, legs, friends and neighbours.


    I agree with everything your saying about what war really is. Maybe it was titled wrong. I think this thread was started by a person trying to say "war is likely, support the men and women who are being called to action and be PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN"
    Pray, or whatever it is you choose to do, for a peacefull resolution to this. If this does turn into a war,and god I hope it doesn't, I believe it will be like no other we have seen in history.
    GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY AND THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO PROTECT IT!

    How about just common courtesy? If someone objects to your singing, don't sing. If they're afraid to fly, don't recount NTSB accident reports. If they seem nervous about skydiving, don't stick your PC9 in their face to show them videos or play with your rig. It doesn't take much, just some courtesy to those around you.



    Well said

    A LOT of the cops (like 99% of the DPS, local and sheriff) I've talked to, love the CHL program in Texas and have respect for CHL holders. They think that the program is doing a lot of good in Texas and that the good citizens are helping bring crime rates down


    That is because most Cops know what requirements exist to get a CHL. They know that most CHL carriers are honest law abiding people.
    I dont have my CHL, YET, but my roomate has gotten let go by almost every cop that pulls him over, because he shows his CHL to them as soon first thing, as you are required. They respect that.
    The biggest misconseption I have heard by people opposed to guns and CHL's is that everyone that carries a gun is trigger happy killer waiting for an oportunity, that we shoot first and think after. I cant speak for the masses, but in IMHO, most people I know that have CHL's are very, very under controll emotionally. They know the power of their actions. Before anyone straps a gun on their hip, they must understand the consiquencs of using it. You pull it, you better be willing to use it, you hesitate and your dead. As with skydiving, it only takes a split second to end a life and you can't change your mind once you do. DONT CARRY ONE IF YOU CANT HANDLE IT. But dont tell me I cant because you cant handle it. Hold people accountable for their actions and they will think before they act.

    It's not our National Anthem so why should anyone be offended?


    The Dixie Chicks definately did our National Anthem justice. Very Good Job.

    I did not like Celin Dion singing at all, where ever she is from didnt matter. She tried to make God Bless America sound like the Titanic song, make me gag.


  14. Had the reserve repacked and my cypres put in it and made 5 jumps on it last weekend. Love the way it fits and the canopy, BUT, the main flap came open once, didn't prematurely deploy but was flapping in the wind, not really FF safe.
    The rigger who did the reserve repack said the rig looked brand new. he did the main inspection with me and everything is in great shape. So I am jumping it for free until my boss wants it back or I get a new job and he gets pissed at me.
    I most likely will try and find a mirage, vector or something that is FF safe after I get several more jumps rather than buy this rig.

    FYI, the only velcro on the rig is the cutaway and reserve handles and toggles, and they were not froze up. everything else is tuck tabs


  15. Great, last weekend hardly anyone was there and it was great weather. And all yall missed the FREE jump out of a CASA that stopped in Sunday morning to fuel up. But, noone woke up Jerry, so he was a little mad.
    See yall this weekend,

  20. I have been looking at Kurupee suits and read alot of good reviews about them. I am thinking of getting one but don't know whether to get normal or thick. I fall pretty slow so I was planning on getting the tight fit. If anyone has a Kurupee jump suit what fit type and cotton type did you get and do you like it?
    Thanks,
    dave

    LOW: Realizing I have to take a drug test first.
    reply]
    True story..We drug test everyone where I work, One man had someone else pee for him.....we knew this because she was on birth control. I can still see his face when the safety manager told him "I think we have a problem.... are you scared your might get pregnant or something?" He just walked out of the office without saying a word.

    High - Clear blue skies
    Low - I'm at work and cant get enough free fall time jumping off my desk
