--thermal carbon transference/conductance correlations--

  a quick ditty about an issue i am in the middle of, regarding my little van( pictured in the side-bar)...

  the issue--  

my little van has had "electrical gremlins" as of late, for a great many reasons, but, one of the results of this "automotive untidiness" a-foot, gave me an epiphany, about electrical wiring, and it's ability to function...here goes--

"thermal carbon transference"--

   if a wire is constantly over-loaded, any experienced electrician will tell you, that the situation will result in the wire becoming brittle, changing colour( kind-of a dull copper/rust colour), and most importantly...loosing it's ability to conduct well...what the devil is going on here??( an unsolicited electrical survey??)...not exactly, i feel a fine point can be put on this phenomenon...i suggest, that the wire becoming brittle, is about moisture escaping the copper within the wire, naturally, this departure of "h20", must happen through the shielding( due to increased heat from the over-load)...i further suggest, that when the "h20" leaves the wire( moisture), that it carries some of the carbon from the wire with it, as "h20+C", which then encounters the shielding, and heats it as well...this mixture of carbon and moisture, in the shielding, is then evaporated into the atmosphere, shown in molecular terms, as, " h20+shielding+C" - "h20"...leaving "shielding+C", as a remainder of the process( creating a brittle wire, that conducts poorly, from a depletion of carbon, and shielding that is slightly conductive, from an increase in carbon, gained from the wire), this system of "de-carbonization/carbonization", is similar to "sympathetic hydration", a bodily function( see my "sympathetic hydration post" for more info), that could possibly explain why a wire that has been severely, or regularly, over-loaded, will not conduct very well any more, and also, potentially shed light on why shielding on the outside of an over-loaded wire, becomes so brittle...from more factors than dehydration alone( as it has been "carbonated")...

note( "molecular carbonization")--

  this notion, may be a spring-board for a new process, of "carbonating" a substance, via "molecular-transference"...produced from heating a "parent-material"( that is "rich" in carbon), in such a way, that it's evaporation( vapours), either "pass-through" a material, to make it "carbon-enriched", or by putting a "carbon-rich" solution, on the item being "enriched", and evaporating it( i believe that increased carbon-content might be gained, via the addition of the material left behind, after evaporation, to the total-conductance/value, or strength, of the substance)--

as of today, this system is untried, i will post more about it's value( if any), in the future...more later--

--sympathetic hydration--

   i have written about swelling in a different post, some time ago, so, some of this stuff that came to me this morning( over a nice bagel), is from another post, reworked, into this new crazy notion i had today--


the credits--

  "insect-ual frontal assault casualties" have inspired these concepts, for use in future counter-measures( my advisories are both persistent, and extremely effective)...as a result, i noted today that certain situations in regards to the hydration( swelling), of the skin, are vastly different...

swelling--

  if you have a reaction from a substance the body deems foreign( an allergen/toxin ), the skin swells with liquid, to dilute the toxins within the skin, this "super-hydration" also immobilizes the area during the detoxification process, while the body expels the unwanted material...through sweat( a new notion of mine, read on)...

sweating--

 i drank enough coffee the other evening, before bed, to wake the dead in a coma ward...no kidding, and when i woke, i was immediately dealing with an unpleasant situation, that required soap and water...leading to a discovery that i feel is of note...if the bladder, or any other tissue, is super-hydrated, and is pressed against, or contacting, another tissue that is less hydrated, the two may equalize in hydration, from the greater concentration, to the lesser...this would explain why a person( me, in this moment), may "sweat-out" some of the liquid within their bladder, through their pours( instead of urinating), causing a bit of an odor, from the evaporation of the sweat...i feel that this "sympathetic hydration" is not only "in-play", but is an "on-going" process, within the normal workings of the skin...sweat, i suggest, is about two things...in the first place, sweat regulates the temperature of the skin, and it's ability to resist static electricity passing through it, to the nerves in the tissue beneath( the hotter the skin, the more it's moisture is lost, and the better it conducts static electricity to the tissue beneath...this tissue beneath the skin, encountering the heat, is then hydrated by the body( a defensive reaction), to resist static electricity( pain), from going to the nerves, this moisture in the tissue beneath the skin, then "wicks" to the surface, and is evaporated( the action of the evaporating liquid on the skin's surface, then creates a cooling effect for the epidermis)...

   the other thing, "in-play", seems to be a reaction from exercise( lactic acid??), and the "build up" of this substance...i believe, that a muscle, may, if need be, expel this toxin through the skin's pours, via a convection, of h20+"one of the toxin's unwanted molecules??", leaving the site of evaporation...afterward, the remaining material, can then be sent to the liver/kidneys through the blood stream...as this compound would no longer be a detriment to the body, after evaporation...in fact, this substance might become a beneficial one( i am currently unaware of this remainder's molecular structure, due to a lack of information about lactic acid's molecular structure...if i was to hazard a guess, it would be...lactic acid - a hydrogen molecule??...)--

  the question--

    what is the difference between sweating and swelling??, and is this "sweating-action" that expels a molecule, that is bonded to moisture( h20), and is then evaporated( made airborne)...the basis of what we call scent??...

swelling/vs sweat--

   i feel, that the difference between sweat and swelling, is that swelling is the hydration of an area of the body in "crisis"( hydrating the tissue first, skin second...from "sympathetic hydration")...this "super-hydration", increases to a point well beyond the ability of evaporation to dissipate it, and remains at this level, until all of the toxins are voided( from healing reactions/effects, or other irritants...insect bites, ect...), basically, if the hydration keeps coming "at-pressure", the area must be engorged, with hydration, as it may not be evaporated fast enough...

 scent--

   yes, i feel that we have bumbled upon the situation entirely, with it's molecules showing...i strongly suggest, that scent is indeed about "sympathetic hydration", and the dissipation of it's "by-product"( airborne remnants of the action)...

  secondary o2 delivery system--

   after some thought this morning, about the dynamics of "sympathetic hydration", i believe i may have "gotten-my-foot-in the-door", in regards to the systems the body utilizes when it's muscles are in extended use( exercise), we know that the pulmonary system delivers 02 to the muscles while you work-out( to actuate them), but, i suggest, that there is another, secondary way, o2 can be obtained by them( if under stress), after the pulmonary system begins to "come-up-short", and lactic acid begins to build-up( the point of exhaustion)...

   the skinny--

    i contend, that if the muscle, or muscles, is/are receiving enough o2, from the heart and lungs, that the person will not sweat( an untested conclusion), in fact, i feel that this might be a good gauge of a person's fitness level, as the better the "cartio-system" of the subject is, the longer i feel that they will be able to sustain exercise, without sweating...so, the secondary system of sweating, is, in my opinion, another way for the muscles to obtain o2, from the molecular exchange that occurs when the "h20+lactic acid", is expelled from the muscle tissue, to the skin, via "sympathetic hydration", or "sweating"...once the "h" is evaporated from "h20+lactic acid", the body likely puts the "o2" to good use in the muscle beneath, and the dried "+lactic acid" remains on the skins surface( creating an odor, and a substance with a high p-h..."sweat"...yuck...), if this is correct, i am completely amazed, at the ability of the body to counter extreme stress, by the molecular conversion of a "by-product", into a fuel( we are not the only ones into recycling...mother nature does too..)--


    i feel that his B.S., is some of the finest B.S. that may be obtained, here at home, or abroad...of use for making "small-talk" with your physician, or other medical technicians you may know/employ...and nothing more--

  best wishes, john kruschke--

--ear infection degradation dynamics--

   i recently had an issue, with my "audible sensory apparati"( ears), one of the poor things seems a tad worse for the wear, after( i believe), i sustained a full-frontal assault, via a type of insect( a highly trained one, i might add), the results were devastating...i am re-grouping at present, to repel any further actions from these raiders...in the mean-time, i have a few thoughts about the ear, and it's many functions while under duress...here they are, for everyone's inspection--



  i noted today, that the "tragus", or bulb, on the external surface of a person's ear, is the first to swell if there is trouble( for me anyway), this tends to cause swelling in the cartilage above the opening of the ear canal...closing it( a very cool thing, if there be insects afoot)...but, there seems to be more to this swelling than the closure of the canal, i suggest, that the bulb( "tragus"), acts like a small "bio-pump", milking toxins from the ear canal, and also the middle ear's "tympanic cavity"( most important, in my opinion)...this pump's capillary action, then pulls toxins from the ear, to it( the "tragus"), resulting in an infection in the "bulb", instead of the "middle ear", or the ear-canal( working like an appendix), i further suggest, that this fluid, that collects in the bulb( swelling), separates the toxins( that then float to the top of the fluid, within the "tragus"), after the infection has passed, the bulb( "tragus"), dries out, and life goes on...pondering the reason for this bio-pump, gave me a big clue, that the system of the ear we know today, is not completely accurate...here are my views...

  the "hook" of the ear's exterior surface--

   this little edge, is deceptively simple, yet functions in a complex system...if we see the sound wave hitting the ear's exterior surface, as a cool "explosion's shock-wave" like the ones we see on tv so often( the "shock-wave" of an "a-bomb" is a famous example), this "shock-wave" originating at the center of the ear, and radiating outward, until the first contact of the hook, at which time, all other parts of the "width" of the wave, would then be "compressed", against the edge of the hook...causing "sonic pressure" to build in the center, forcing the wave's "reverb", into the ear canal...like a little smoke-ring, with an equal harmonic as the original wave...this notion, also could explain a dynamic i feel is on-going within the "cochlea" of the inner ear...i contend, that a sound-wave, is exactly the same dynamic as the "shock-wave" of an "a-bomb"( in miniature), and that some veery small air molecules are dragged along for the ride, when a sound-wave is generated...these air molecules, that move "in-tandem" with the sound-wave, are, what i feel is best described as, "sympathetic-particle movement", this concept, is the means that i feel the cochlea uses, to generate enough compression, to achieve a spark, that is then sent to the brain as a signal...essentially, the dynamics of the cochlea, are that the apparatus is wide at the entrance, near the "eye"( or "blow-off valve"), any "sonic-movement" from the wide end of the cochlea( where one of the bones within the ear attaches), is exaggerated, at the smaller end( creating higher sonic pressure/compression)...as is the case with a hydraulic brake master cylinder, in a car...a bigger master, means more movement in the lines, with less pedal travel required...i believe that if a cochlea had it's small-end nipped-off, and a glass one was glued on, with a strong "cold-weld", that a spark would be seen at the replaced tip( a glass one), in a dark room( a gap, between ground, like automobile spark-testers use, would naturally be needed)--

high-low-middle tone-separation dynamics( swirly)--

  i am imagining that the cochlea has three nerves that go to it, and this would indicate that the cochlea has three "tips"( points), that generate sparks( one for each of the three ranges of sound)...i find it of intense irony, that( as i intend to show), we all walk around this world with something within our heads( two things to be precise), that operate on the same basic principals that started everything...all that we have, or will ever know, in the entire universe...the "swirly"( see "swirly" post)...

  i suggest, that the cochlea sends the sound wave, and the "sympathetic particles" that travel with it, from the large opening of the cochlea, to the three nerve-points( where the sparks for each tone are generated, from compression), i feel that the key to this system, is to see the cochlea working exactly like the rings of Saturn...meaning, that the "sympathetic particles" that move with the sound wave, through the cochlea, align from lightest( closest to the "apex" of the center of the cochlea's spiral), to heaviest( farthest away from the center of the apex, closest to the exterior wall of the cochlea)...amazing...a little model of Saturn, and planet formation...that works like a black-hole, compressing the air-molecules to infinity, and creating an ignition, from the resulting pressure...many, many, times per second...the three cochlea points would then be arranged from the outer edge of the cochlea, to the center...three points, creating three sparks, to give the three ranges of sound, to the right, and the left side, of the brain--  


 note--

  also, i am noticing that all the workings of the ear, seem to be a conversion of sound waves, to a small enough value, that is exactly equal to the original big one...to "line level"( for the safety of the cochlea's fragile walls)--


 the ear canal--

   this canal, in my opinion, can be seen as more of a venturi, between two caves( acting like a reverse-amplifier), the sound waves hit the outer ear, and are forced into the ear canal...the way in which sounds are "pressed" into the ear's canal, is, what i would call "sonic-pressure", this pressure, is then enhanced, from the sound-wave impacting the "little hook" that the outer ear has at it's edges( a reverb, or bounce-back effect, is created from this feature...bouncing the sound back to the center, to create "sonic pressure"), these sound-waves, are then sped-up, like air molecules are, when they pass through a "venturi"( the ear-canal)...this amplifies the force of the sound-wave( smoke-ring) even further( at a new, miniature size), before it encounters the ear-drum...the ear-drum, then transfers the sound to the larger chamber, of the "tympanic cavity"...vibrating it's walls( not the middle ear's bones directly)...and so, i suggest, that the bones of the middle ear, are connected to the exterior of the "tympanic cavity", for more reasons than support...and that, in fact, the walls of the cavity move the bones, in an equal harmonic pattern as the small waves sent through the ear drum, from the outer ear, to finally contact the "tympanic cavity's" interior surfaces...this would explain, very well, why the "tympanic cavity" is a "controlled space", for the reverse-amplification, and conversion, of sound-waves...from waves, to physical taps( line level), and then to electric impulses, or "signals"( sparks within the cochlea)...once a person realizes the importance of the veery slight hydration, and flexibility, of the "tympanic cavity's" walls, i feel we can deduce that the ear drum does not merely transfer sound to the walls of the "tympanic cavity", and that it's most important function, is to seal the "tympanic cavity", from the elements( keeping it from becoming too dry), yet being thin enough, to allow the best transference of sound...as well as being "hinged", so a person may "pop their ears", and clear the "tympanic cavity" of water, or other debris...i feel, that this action of clearing the ears( "popping them"), is the breakage of the connection of the ear-drum, at it's edges, to the ear canal( probably in a half-moon), if this is correct, the issue of hearing degradation, from torn ear-drums, may be merely a thickening of the drum, from a tear in the center, instead of a break at the edges( like when you "pop" your ears), this thickening, from scar-tissue, created during the healing process, then reduces the drums ability to transfer sound...leading me to conclude, that the level of dryness, within the "tympanic cavity", is of the utmost importance, and that blockage of the drains to the inner ear's "tympanic cavity", may produce multiple ear infections, that ultimately scar the interior surfaces of the "tympanic cavity"( thickening them), and thereby reducing it's ability to emulate the vibrations of the sound-waves that strike it, which are then transferred to the bones of the inner ear( resulting in a hearing impairment)--

inner-ear dynamics--

   i lost my phone a moment ago, after an epiphany...about the way the "inner ear" sends signals to the brain...found it, here goes--

  after some research( a few minutes worth), i made some conclusions about hearing, from all of the diagrams that i viewed online( i used a "google-search"), i feel, that the bones of the "inner ear", are moved by the outer surfaces of the "tympanic cavity"( as mentioned above), any diagram of the "inner ear" will show, that these two bones( within the "tympanic cavity"), are suspended closely together, so that they can "tap" against each other...very much like a "morse code telegraph" does...sending the "taps" to the outer surface of the cochlea( or, "sea-shell"), within the "inner-ear"( i notice the end of the bone is shaped like a "tuning fork", in all the diagrams, possibly modifying the harmonic a bit further, or more likely, a simple way to "triangulate" the connection, of the bone-to-the-cochlea..."three points determine a plane"...), this principal, is well known in auto mechanics, as, in the old days, before the "auto-mechanics stethoscope" was invented, a broom handle was cut, and held tightly against the running engine being diagnosed, so that the technician's skull( head) could be pressed tightly to the other end of the handle, allowing the tech to sense( hear) , the vibrations( sounds) of the engine...this "hearing" of the sounds within the engine, was obtained from the technician's "tympanic cavity" being "harmonically vibrated", through the broom-handle, by the running engine...obtaining the same results as sound hitting the outer ear, and then traveling through the canal, to the ear-drum...ultimately, vibrating the bones of the "inner ear"( do not try at home)--


  the "vibro-sonic" hearing aid( crazy idea)--

  after some thought about the old "broom-handle stethoscope trick", it occurred to me, that a deaf person might be able to hear the engine of a car, while it was running, in this manner...leading me to conclude, that the deaf person would also hear a "by-standard", that was yelling into the valve cover, if the oil-cap was removed( a long tube to yell into, may reduce mess to ones-self, while conveying sentiment to the deaf individual, utilizing the broom-handle...), taadaaa...a 200 horse-power hearing aid...unbelievable, i feel this principal is workable, due to the engine's internal noises becoming "back-ground noise", and the person's speech going into the motor, being added to the "total-sonic value" being sent through the broom-handle, to the deaf person's "inner ear"...a broom handle is quite long, insulating the delicate inner ear from too much vibration, study of this concept would be needed, to find a small vibrating device that could also have a simple "dished exterior", that was fixed to the side of the deaf person's head( as is the modern "cocliar implant" of today...), perhaps, cell-phone vibration technology, paired with a simple exterior( the size of a ketchup-bottle's cap, that is "dished" on the side facing outward, with the "dish" functioning as an "array"??)...in this way, i suggest that the regular vibrations of the device, would cause the "tympanic cavity", or the cochlea( depending on the strength of the vibrations, and the person's needs), to "harmonize" with the "vibro-sonic hearing aid", causing regular, "static" vibrations, when there is no sound, and additional noises that the device incurs( sound), would then be added to the "static-value", when a person was hearing...transferring the desired sounds( vibrations), to the "inner ear"( the "total-sonic value")...

  the cochlea--

   this sound wave, that is generated in the cochlea, is then utilized as pressure...the central opening of the cochlea( or "eye"), is, in automotive terms, a "blow-off valve", as seen in turbo-systems...essentially, too great a pressure, from a tap that is too hard( from the bones within the ear ), and the pressure is "vented", out this opening in the cochlea( or "sea-shell" )...as for the means the cochlea uses to change this "sonic pressure" into signals to the brain, i feel the way is via a "diesel spark" principal...the cochlea receives the sonic waves at the opening of a spiral, that tapers into a smaller, and smaller point...at this final point, the pressure becomes high enough, to generate a spark, and it then travels to the brain, through the nerves--

  conclusion--

    i believe that deafness from very loud sounds, is likely a cracked "cylinder wall"( within the cochlea, or "sea-shell"), a potential remedy may be, the removal of the cochlea, to epoxy it??( or another means of restoring compression), i feel that this concept( crack repair) will produce hearing...every time...the other variable that seems to be of issue, is the delicate balance of  thickness, and the amount of dryness/hydration, within the ear's "tympanic cavity"...we( science), know that every hearing person/being, has a "natural infection" within their "tympanic cavity", and i suggest, that this lubricates the bones, so they will not fuse, as well as hydrating the "tympanic cavity's" walls, so that they are very soft, allowing them to react to sound waves, easily...if this infection within the ear becomes to severe, too thick a film is likely generated, on the interior surfaces of the "tympanic cavities" walls( deadening sound)...the inverse condition, of too dry an interior surface within the "tympanic cavity", may cause stiffening of the the "tympanic cavities" walls...possibly resulting in the immobilization of the inner ear's bones, and the "fusing" of them...the question...what to do about the walls thickening from repeated infections( how can we thin them??), and what to do about renewing the delicate balance of "ideal fluidity" within the "tympanic cavity"??...i'm working on it...the type of infection, hydrating the "tympanic cavity's"  bones, and it's surfaces, may only be a few variants, between all individuals...study will be needed, to derive a system to "thin" the walls of the "tympanic cavity"( a light enzyme??), or a procedure to repair any cracks to the cochlea...as of today, i have no clues about achieving either objective( i leave it to science)--

  --work continues below this point...out of time at the library...best wishes, john kruschke--

the question--

   will a person whom has been deaf all their life, hear the internal sounds of an engine, if they utilize the old "broom-stick method", for sensing internal engine sounds( instead of listening through a modern "mechanics stethascope")??...i feel the answer is, yes...what are the main reasons for hearing impairment??...for me, i feel that the thickness of walls of the "tympanic chamber"( as mentioned above), the connection of the bone to the cochlea, inner ear lubrication viscosity, cracks to the cochlea( from over-pressure), and burned-out nerves to the sensory-input area of brain, from sustained over-volts, as is the case in M.S....( see M.S. post), are the leading factors for hearing loss...finding remedies for these exact issues, may mean no person, ever need be deaf...i leave the issue to modern medicine to sort out( unless i do first...), best wishes to all...john kruschke--


neuro-logical super-conjecture--
 
  if i am correct, in my belief that the cochlea in the "inner ear", generates a spark, per sound wave generated, by a "tap" from the bone in the ear's "tympanic chamber", via compression( a diesel ignition), i feel that all signals to the brain are read in the same manner...an inward flow of electrical current...this conclusion may have improved my "visual-mental-picture" of the central nervous system...i suggest, that the senses of touch, sight, and smell, are all created via "static electricity"( the static charge that builds-up around a person's skin), this charge, can not go through the skin, to the "ground-wire" of the brain( the nerve), in the underlying tissue...sending a signal( spark), to the brain, to be interpreted as pain/pressure/heat, depending on the value of the skin's moisture-content...this system may work similar to a touch-screen on a computer, the touch, grounds the skin to the tissue beneath, that then, conducts the charge to the nearest nerve...could the feeling we get from heat against the skin, be a decrease in the insulating value of that skin??...allowing the "static electricity" to reach the tissue below, at a slightly greater amount( very slight), and, in the case of a burn-victim, could all resistance of the skin be completely lost, from dehydration( allowing a free-flow, of the "static charge" surrounding the body, to reach the nerves in the area of the affected skin...sending extreme volts, constantly, to the brain...generating extreme pain), these sustained volts, flowing past the burnt, non resistive skin layer, may then create a "blown" sensory-circuit( similar to a blown amp in a sound system), from an over-loaded input sensor in the brain, or a blown section in the cables to it( the nerves)...i suggest, that the practice of attaching a "static cable" to a burn-victim( in an unburned area of the body, near the injury), immediately, and then taking them to a completely "static-free" environment, as quickly as possible, may be of good use for this emergency( as, i believe that if the burnt skin heals, without the nerves directly beneath it being over-loaded, or "blown", from sustained over-volts, that the original "sensory function" of the skin, may be regained, after the healing process is complete...)...this concept is for the study of medical professionals, to chat about, and nothing more( do not try at home, or elsewhere, applies)--

the nerves--

  a word about the nerves of the ear...if the cochlea does not fracture, when the ear endures an extreme sound/trauma, the nerves of the ear likely take the hit, this over-volt, from a huge spark being generated, as a result of a veery hard "tap" to the cochlea, will( in my opinion), blow the nerve...unfortunately, this hearing damage is probably irreversible, as i feel that the nerve will not grow back again, in the blown area, even if the portion of the nerve that blows, is in the receiving part of the brain...that i believe has multiple input possibilities( left/right + left/right)...meaning...stereo, on both sides( left, and right), and, the cochlea may have three nerves as well??( high-low-middle??)..so, i suggest, that once blown, "nary shall the twain they meet"...i hope i am mistaken...the "silver lining" seems to be, that there is potential for repairs to cracks within the cochlea...but, the nerves are probably gone, once overloaded( similar to the issue with the disease M.S., where constant "cross-firing" of nerves, blows them, from over-use, or over stimulation...)--

  the sense of smell--

   i am now seeing the "sensory node" within the nose( the roof of the sinus area), as a large "static generator", or "capacitor", working similar to the "mad scientist-bulbs" we see in the movies( Frankenstein...,ect...), the hairs within, may gather "static electricity", like when we see a person's hair "stand-on-end" when touching a "mad scientist-bulb"...this gained charge, would then be stored in the "sensory node", within the sinuses, and the variation of static charge generated( due to the insulating factors of the smell, or it's charge??), would be the means that the brain utilizes, to distinguish, or analyze smells...could this main "cap", or "static-generator", be the way that the brain obtains the "power" to send the "sparks", or signals, to actuate our muscles??...it comes from somewhere??...i further suggest, that it may be a combination of all sensory inputs, flowing to a main "cap"( possibly the brain stem, or the "sensory node" located within in our nose??), and the outputs( the use of the stored energy), is the motion of the body, and the actuation of it's many, many, muscles--


  i feel that this B.S., may indeed be good B.S., and is a good conversation for you, your physician, and no-one else( don't try this at home, applies all-around...obviously)--

 P.S. : i banged this thing out quick( damn-the spell-check, full speed ahead...)--

 best wishes, john kruschke--     :o)

--torsion bar crack-propagation factors--

i believe i have figured-out the reason they break, when removed after being in service many years...


 torsion bar expansion/contraction dynamics, and crack propagation/probability correlations--

     i was meditating about torsion bars, and how they work the other day, to solve the puzzle pertaining to torsion bar replacement, and why they break all the time, after being removed from a used vehicle, and then re-installed in a different one...failing shortly after re-installation...

the skinny--

   here are my thoughts...i suggest, that a torsion bar works similar to a beach-towel, when being twisted, the towel becomes thinner in the middle, when the twist is increased, and thicker, when twisting pressure is released...also of note, the towel gets longer as well( when the twisting pressure is applied)...so, i suggest, that a torsion bar cycles between being thicker, and thinner, in it's center, as well as cycling between being longer, and shorter, while in service...if we know this, the concept of the issues "in-play", when fully unloading a torsion bar, can be studied...i feel the trouble lies in the fact that after a long period of sustained operation, in a certain "range of travel", the torsion bar becomes "case hardened" within this range...when pressure is released too quickly( as i feel is the case upon the removal of a used one), the center of the torsion bar becomes too thick, too fast, and a crack propagates( in the center of the bar?? ), as the bar is fully unloaded...

  the solution--

   i believe that by loosening the adjusting nut on the torsion bar, once( a few turns), every few days, until fully unloaded, the bar will not crack, and a used one is then able to be exchanged between vehicles...also, the practice of installing a "hose-clamp", or many of them, tightly, at the center of the torsion bar, might prevent the center of the bar from expanding too much( or the entire bar from shortening too much ), keeping the torsion bar being exchanged, from cracking, while being removed...this cracking issue would explain why they work for awhile, but fail, or they function, but only if tightened a small amount( giving poor ride height, and quality)--

note--

   i have not tried the "hose-clamps-in-the-center of the torsion-bar removal procedure" yet, but, i will keep everyone posted about it's effectiveness, when i deploy the maneuver...

best wishes, john kruschke--

--Stonehenge/Easter island road-vector correlations--

  i had an epiphany this morning, about two places, and their intended uses...i have not researched whom had placed these stones as of yet, but i believe both were creations of the "Druids", for the same reasons...here they are, for your inspection...

Stonehenge--

    an engineering marvel, even today, they still stand, and were immensely heavy stones to move...stacking them in a way that would remain this long, is an even greater feat...but the purpose, is a far finer thing indeed, that i feel i may have stumbled upon yesterday, and a bit further today--

   i suggest, that Stonehenge is a veeery early "surveying tool", that was used to derive the best angle-to-the sun, to make a road...the more sun a dirt road gets, the less muddy it can be, as the water that falls upon it, dries up almost immediately...allowing the road to remain pass-able for hundreds of years, if this concept is correct, any towns very near to Stonehenge, would have roads that align with the stone view-finders( three??), of the site( these would be used to derive the best angle to the sun, to make the city's main grid-work of roadways, face the sun directly, and get the most light)...this ancient "surveyor's-tool", was then used further, by making a fire in the center of Stonehenge, and the surveyor would go to a point far away, and from there, his eyes would be the surveyor's "view-finder"( as we have today), and the fire, sighted through the correct arch-way, at Stonehenge, would give the "straight line" to build the road-way...one that would stay dry, at all times( lasting almost indefinitely)--

  also, it might be, that the light of the three windows( view-ports), and the distance between them, was used to create a "math wedge", of two "isosceles triangles"( showing the distance of the two bases, from the point you are viewing from), to achieve the desired vector...as i feel, is also the case for the Egyptian pyramids...if this were correct, i feel that Stonehenge would only have three "arches", or "view-ports", and the remaining stones at the site, to be "benches", or "pews"( a "pew", is "a place to sit and reflect"...possibly a word originating from a miss-pronunciation, in conversations at Stonehenge, between those keeping the fires lighting the "view-ports" stoked, regarding others utilizing the technique far away??...jews??), in any case, i feel any other stones( besides the "view-ports"), at the site, where stones the persons tending the fire for lighting the "view-ports" would use to sit on, while minding their duties...i have not done any investigation about the Druid culture( a difficult task for a group this ancient), but, i suggest that, there is likely a staff in the Druid culture, used by a "special surveyor", at Stonehenge( someone like "father time" perhaps, that used a staff with a "hanukkah rail" on it, or a similar object, with the same number of tines, for sighting to the "view-ports"...this "staff", would make obtaining the angle less effort, and would not require any "long-hand math", at the site, at a time when paper was scarce...)...

  why bother??...after this first town near Stonehenge was built, all of the roads in surrounding towns would likely mimic the same angle that gets good sunlight between buildings( a modern example...as we all know these days, is displayed very well, if a person utilizing a parking lot, parks out of the lines too far, resulting in, all the other cars that park there afterward, also parking poorly...one dictates the other, no question)...in this way, i feel Stonehenge set the standard for dry-roadways in the area...until enough distance away from the original towns that were aligned to Stonehenge, is had, where degradation of proper angles begins to occur, and roadways became muddy again...for some strange reason( i find it incredible, that the towns around Stonehenge, all have streets that are very much parallel to each other, when built at a time well before the invention of the compass...not likely a coincidence, at all)...also...i noticed today, that the aerial view of Stonehenge, is very similar to the lay-out of America's first flag...a circle of lights, surrounded by straight rows...hmmmm...we did skip over "the pond" from there, didn't we??...they are rather straight rows, aren't they??--

note--

  the practice of painting the outside of homes in Italy, and other european towns, yellow( or other light colours), may have been to reflect light to the street in front of them( enhancing heat to the road/street, and greatly reducing drying time)...in America, we still paint the ceiling of porches white, or other light colours, for the same reason...increasing candle-power( although the candles of today, are usually electric...)--


  Easter island--

    the same principal is possibly "in-play", if a person's eyes are to be used as a surveyor's "view-finder", where the object the surveyor is sighting to, must be huge, if the distance being surveyed is vast...on Easter island, i imagine the stones are right by the shore, and face outward...if this is correct, then something on the other shore, correlates directly to them...i suggest this to be the roadways, the reason there are more than one, would be so a parallel grid could be laid, instead of one that fans-out, from one point...these stones also act like "sun-dials", showing the angle that the road on the other side would be, to the sun, throughout the day...and i feel it may not be a coincidence, if these two engineering marvels were made by the same group of people( the "Druids")...also of note, by making the "sighting-posts" artistic, and ominous, they may have eluded vandalism, and theft, these many hundreds of years--


  the Egyptian pyramids--

   i believe these to be made for the same reasons as Stonehenge, and Easter island, to make a road that stays dry, from having the best angle to the sun( or "sun-god"), in the case of the pyramids, i feel that when i investigate further, that i will find the Egyptians made three large structures, near each other( at a regular distance apart), to allow the center structure to be sighted-to( with a special stick, that may have had a "sight" on it), and the distance between the center structure, and the other two "monoliths", or "pyramids"( structures), would then show the distance of the base of two "equilateral triangles" on each side of the center structure, to show the position the person "surveying" was, in relation to the angle of the sun( i will explain another way, in a moment)...

   if the three pyramids were in a row, but staggered( not in an exact line), the positioning tool could be utilized from any angle( 360 degrees around), as the three pyramid's points would never "line-up", and in fact, the closer the the points are together, the more extreme the angle you are standing, in relation to them( showing position)...the distance between these points, and the height of the pyramids( showing the distance that the point you are standing at, is, from them), is the way i feel that the pyramids may have been used, to build good roads...if we see a road-way differently( as a "solar panel"), the idea of positioning it to the sun at the best angle, is more understandable...if shadows are cast across the road, when the sun is low in the sky( low heat-yield), but casts none at "high-noon"( the time of greatest "solar-value"), the concept becomes obvious...a dry road creates few ruts, and requires less, or no, maintenance...the size of the objects the Egyptians were using, are so large, that they could be utilized to maintain roads incredibly far away...ones lost to sand-storms, or other phenomenon...also of note, the angle of the pyramids, is such, that sand cannot remain on it's surfaces, build-up, and over-load the roof( as steep angles keep the roof clear of debris, this concept is also utilized in the Swiss-alps, to prevent heavy snow from collapsing buildings)--


   super-conjecture--

   i looked at Easter island's stones the other day, with "google-maps", and i realized a bit later, that the stones on Easter island were indeed the same concept as the pyramids in Egypt, inverted...this lead me to believe, quite firmly, that the staff used in Egypt, must look the same as the stones on Easter island...and, taa-daa, the "hanukkah-rail" came to mind( "hanukkah" translates into "to decide" i believe), something steeped in tradition so deeply, that it could not be lost...the people in this culture are also those whom would likely be using such a staff( to position a roadway correctly, in relation to the sun, in Egyptian times), after escaping Egypt, the staff was taken with them, to ensure passable roads for their future generations( after enough time had passed, the original function of the rail was lost), the slave that was the "inspector" was a veery important person, and may have been allowed to wear a special cap( or "yamaca", a word meaning "pairs" in "theravada buddisum", that can be found in the "pali cannon"...in regards to the questions of "x-and-y"...hmmmm...), this cap may have been to designate him as someone to extend every courtesy to, and also a special allowance( to keep him from getting sun-burnt, so badly, that the burn would go right down to his very soul...making him a bit unpleasant to deal with...)...after their escape from Egypt, every person in the Jewish culture, was likely decided to be "very important"( rightly), and the "inspector's cap", was worn by all...joined to the culture permanently, so it would never be lost--

   if the "hanukkah rail" was the Egyptian staff, and three of the candles on it were aligned with the three pyramids, with the rail acting as a "weather-vane"( displaying the correct angle, to build the road), then i feel that the land-based "hanukkah-rail" on Easter island, would have a staff to read the angle with three "tines" ( the inverse of the Egyptian)...i thought about it awhile, and what do you know...i recalled that the devil is a mythical person that carries a staff with three tines( is he a legend remembered on Easter island??...i will see about that...), this begs the question...are there possible factual reasons for our modern notion of his physical appearance( the devil's)??...he has red skin...a nasty sun-burn??( lots of road-work??)...and in many of the images i have seen of him, he wears a cap( from Ciaro??), this surveyor's "yamaka" cap, could explain very well, why our modern perceptions of the "devil" include horns, as a person with super-thick, natural hair, that is long, would protrude out from under the cap, looking a lot like "horns"...a myth derived from the extreme jealousy of other men, and possibly generating rumors of his hair merely being a wig( a complete lie)...he also had feet like a goat( a surveyor may have had to go to great lengths, and perils, to position the road to the land-based rail on Easter island, with his staff...causing people to say he was "as sure footed-as-a mountain goat", eventually, becoming a legend that he was part goat...or he may have simply worn leggings, known as "chaps"( in some places), made from goat-skin( for warmth), while surveying...another possibility, may be that the shape of his leg is a visual dramatization of the veery high arches of his feet( something those with good balance usually have), as for his tail, i feel that this may have been an ingenious "pocket-angle finder", that consisted of a triangular stone, with an "eye" in the center, that was tied to a rope...i believe that this weight, when in use, was dragged behind the person from his waist, for a few paces, and the surveyor would then "square his shoulders", to the "monoliths", so that the "tail", would show the viewing angle, and the "trident", would show the proper angle for the road( giving the "x" and "y" coordinates)...as for "selling your soul to the devil"( to get something), a passable road was so important, in early history, that people may have sold themselves into "indentured servitude", as payment, instead of money( if they were not wealthy)...the saying "one of the ways you know you are dealing with the devil, is that he never pays-off", may be due to folks not knowing what exactly the devil was doing( "what-the devil is he doing"??), or, what they were buying from him anymore( as the information was lost, over time, to all but the surveyor), surveying a road, that stays dry indefinitely, may have been so important, that the surveyor would work in secret, at night...leading to "joyous dancing" about the days profits, and the ease they were obtained( "ever dance with the devil in the pale moon light??")...if a person wanted to hire the surveyor, they might wonder where to find him( "where the devil is he"??), the answer was probably "at the cross-roads"( which makes sense...as this is still a good place to find a surveyor, but the modern ones aren't so easy to spot, as they don't carry a three-tinned "trident", for aligning the roadway to the proper "monoliths"...i will miss the "monoliths"...), this surveyor was probably also so important a person, he could do whatever he wanted...period...leading the surveyor to cause a lot of mischief with others...it all fits...amazing--


  the Mayan( photos of my prediction of the staff''s shape, are above)--

  these temples were also likely to have been for the same purpose, to find a good angle...for many things...was there a staff?...i will do some research( more later)--


note--

  i believe the Mayans are doing the same thing as the rest, but are using the stairways( visible from far away), as optics to get the angle to the sun, but are using the corner of the temple, or "monoliths", to sight to, when surveying...


  the buddhist system--

the shape of the "buddha" sitting, and corresponding staff( a "silhouette" of the "monolith")--



the hindu system--

the shape of the "hindi", and its many arms, with corresponding staff( a "silhouette" of the "monolith")--

  incredibly, it would seem, that for every large "monolith"( statue, or structure), that has a cultural meaning( to the region it stands in), there is very likely a "surveyors tool", being used to "sight-to" this "monolith", and "find square"...i believe that a person need only look in the culture for the corresponding staff( the "silhouette" of the "monolith"), and then locate that system's "pocket angle-finder", or stone( one with an "eye" in the center, to tie a rope...perhaps a triangle, or a circle??)--


  staff of japan/china--

   it would appear that everyone was in on this one...i believe the system in japan utilizes a "silhouette", or outline, of a "monolith" in the distance( the curved edge of the town's "palace", "temple", or other "main structure"), to find the angle( the diagram is above...), when the staff gives the angle, combined with a heavy rope, dragged a few feet( perhaps with a weight??...), an accurate right angle is gained, that is "square" to the "daimyo's" home( the originator of "square" for the kingdom...aligned to the sun, to give dry roadways)...in fact, i feel that the system was so impressive, and super-important to japan, that the flag of the country now makes very much more sense to me...the archways in japan that we see in the movies, positioned over their roadways, could be tools, to extend "square", throughout the empire...meaning, all those that built anything, derived it from this archway over the road...and so, the center of the Japanese flag, is likely a symbol of the "daimyo's" home...and the rays that extend outward, represent "square", radiating outward, from he whom was "Shogun"...

  in Scandinavia--

   a hammer( thor??), or possibly an ax( haggar the horrible??), may have been held up( as a "staff", for "surveying"...), to match the archway in front of the "main lodge"...to create another archway, far away, that a "long boat", or other structure, requiring good measurements, might have been made from...in any case, the concept of "moving square" from a central point, seems to be of use, to many cultures...all those with the "archways" are likely utilizing this technique...in the case of the Norwegian "boat-houses", i feel their roofs are the way the builders were "finding square", during boat production, as it had a special shape, on both ends...matching the boat being built, or the "surveyor's staff"( hammer??), as well as being lodgings for the workers, and a dry place to work, in bad weather...

  if i am not mistaken, i feel i have also found the "means" in which the viking "long-boats" navigated, from this same system, of finding "square"...i have no doubt that Leaf Ericson was as brave as he was clever after reaching this conclusion, as he, and those like him, that traveled the oceans this way, were utilizing a method of "surveying", to "find square"on land( from Ciaro??)...to travel the oceans...and survey more stuff( all men seem to have a habit of finding new uses for things, after they have mastered them)...those that met these men, while "surveying-abroad", may have wondered..."what the devil are they doing??"...( when they held up their axes to the castle walls)...the answer was probably not a comfort( "surveying stupid...what's the problem??"), to build a "trebuchet"...big problem...not cool, definitely not funny-- 


  the means--

     this answers the question of how "the first line in the sand", to build an empire, was laid...and also how Leaf Ericson roamed the seas, with great accuracy...hint( it took three days)...

   also, i have realized the reason for both the shape of the "long-boat", and why it was so strong...a hint, the cause of the strength relates to my "torsion bar" post...meaning, the rails of the boat, and the "draft" of the ships...the system is unbelievably complex, leaving me with a sore head, from figuring out the way the deed was done...i have it...as well as the reason why the famous viking's helmet, has two horns( "haggar the horrible"??)...


 ultra-super conjecture--

   after understanding the system, i am seeing it deployed everywhere...the Romans, may have used an archway( the "Roman arch"??), and a staff( the "shepherd's cane", that we still see today), if i am correct, this system is similar to that of Japan, and Scandinavia...but, i feel it may have lacked the precision of the Egyptian system( a staff consisting of a "hanukkah-rail", with seven "sighting-tines"), aligned to three "monoliths", or "pylons"( the point to "sight" from, to gain the correct angle...), this leads me to ponder, if it may be possible, that jesus, and the devil, may have had more issues between them, than our "souls"...some of their differences could have been "work-related", as well...


  the system of our lord--

  jesus was a carpenter, as i recall, and a "square" building was likely a thing he thought about at times, something of importance, after standing back from his tedious work, and seeing the joints at the edges matching poorly, on a few to many occasions...for this reason, he may have developed a dislike for the "shepherds cane"...( prompting him to break it, over his knee??), and wander the desert for awhile...where he may have bumped into a "surveyor"( from Ciaro??), whom tried to tempt him to be his apprentice...for 40 years...( the guy was persistent i imagine), but, in the end, i hear he( jesus), passed on the deal, and instead, created his own "surveying staff"( a "cross"...), one with the same precision as the Egyptian system, but one that was inverted( as was the Easter island system...)--

   could it be...that the issue we read about in the bible, where he destroyed a market-place, may have been about more than the selling of religious things, but also "basic services"( surveying), jesus may have seen someone( the devil), selling "square", or "surveying", for profit.. with such wild abandon, and nastiness, that he thought badly about the whole system...he may have desired a "free-way", to gain "square", without a "surveyor"...not a popular thing for the locals in the trade...these bad feelings, on top of his teachings about the "after-life", may have lead to his death...i always got the feeling "Poncious Pilot" liked him, but, a person that wanted to abandon the "arch-way-system", that Rome had spent much money on( although the cross was more precise...i'm sure they liked that part...), was un-pardonable by force, and so the locals were allowed to decide...i suspect that "the lord's system", of using the cross to "sight square", from a church's steeple( a "monolith"), continued on, well after the death of jesus...meaning, each cross, on every church in the united states, was likely used to "build square"--

  i am troubled to note that even jesus' "crucifixion" may have been arranged in a pattern to slight this "better system"...three crosses, with three persons, attached to the crosses at three points.. that any of his students could "sight-square" from, if they liked...probably not a coincidence...

P.S. : this post is unfinished, i hope those of all religions can appreciate the fact that i feel jesus had more in the bag than the "after-life"...he worked and lived..and his work was of good quality i believe...)--   :o)


note--

  some of our modern symbols we use today seem to be derived from "surveying"...once you have the idea mastered, you see it everywhere...we really have no idea how sharp our forefathers were, very, very, long ago...the Egyptians, Mayans, and others, had a loong time to get things right( good roads, that stayed dry, and the practice of building structures that were "square", for added strength w/longevity, was, in my opinion, their key to a thriving community/civilization), the reason for all of these civilizations being lost, may be due to a great many persons choosing to "strike-it-out-on-their-own", and the high numbers needed to maintain these huge cities was depleted, to a point beyond function...the wheel needs a certain number of "cogs", to turn...without them, a great wheel will stand for all time, that does not turn, and no-one is aware of why it ever did...

  early surveyors' short-hand--

   #  :   a ( Roman/Egyptian??) symbol, for use on a map, to designate where the regent( "pharo") had "surveyors" deployed...a symbol for "the cross-roads", making it easy to send a "runner" to the "surveyor", whom "relayed" messages( scrolls), about construction desires, or redeployment orders, to a different spot on the map--

  ?  :  a ( Roman/Egyptian??) symbol,  made by builders, to mark a spot to be checked for "square" by the "surveyor"( circled in the sand), to the nearest "Roman arch-way"( hence the symbol of the shepherd's cane, above a point on the ground)--

  ok  :   the resulting symbol after the surveyor had checked the spot for "square", after rubbing out the "?",  and drawing a "k"( the symbol for "square"), to designate that the post going in that spot, was "square" to the archway--

 k  :  the symbol for "square" used by the surveyor( a straight line showing the angle to the sun, and an arrow pointing to it, the arrow could also be seen as a pyramid, with a horizon...or a symbol for a "right-angle"..."square"...--

 $  :  the symbol for a surveyor's pay, an "s", with a roadway going through it...hmmm, why an "S"...hmmm...

 x  :   x  represents the initial point "surveyed", for the structure being built( the spot to put a post-hole)..."x marks the spot"...literally, x also represent "times", for multiplying wages to be paid to the "surveyor"( the birth of modern mathematics...example : $10 units of pay  x  100 points to be surveyed = $1000 units of pay)--

 +  a symbol used by the builders to decide which points that the "surveyor" had marked, were to be used for the structure...all the plus's( "o+" ), are counted at the beginning of the job...( +100 is an example )--

 -  a symbol used by the builders, to decide which points that the surveyor measured for "square" were to be used to erect the structure( what holes will receive posts)...example : (  + 100 posts marked  - 25 posts not needed, =  $75 units of pay, or "money" )--

 %  a symbol used to divide posts being "surveyed"( for situations when there is more than one "surveyor" on site, and wages are "divied", or shared, from the same project--

 =  a symbol showing two surveyor's lines( with nothing in between them?? signifying that pay has been "divied" equally, between all of the "surveyors" working on the project??...i am still working on this one)--

 !  the exclamation point...looks to be the symbol used in turkey, or other ares with "monoliths" that were a single column( ones like the "Washington monument", that we have in the United states...i notice in some of the US marines commercials, they show a serious man, holding a sword in a manner that might match the "silhouette" of the "Washington monument"...naaaa...couldn't be...)--


  note--

  clearly( to me), these surveyors were those that birthed our modern system of math, for the purpose of quantifying wages due, for services rendered( these guys liked to count their chickens, hatched or no)...astounding, even the symbol for money( a "$" sign), displays the service that can be, or was, provided( an "s" looks a lot like an ambling road, and a "$", could be seen as an "s", with a nice, straight( dry) road going through it...displaying the shortest distance between two points( with a hell-of-a lot less mud in it), used as a reminder to the buyer, of the service rendered...also, "surveyor" starts with an "s", perhaps the name abbreviated, with a nice, straight( dry) road, going through it...i'm still speculating about this one--  more later...


a flash-in-the-pan--

  i had a breakthrough this morning, regarding a few old phrases, related to this concept--

  ok...i feel this is a surveying term, the "o", marks the spot the surveyor "put his foot down", and said "that's it, right here", this circle, marking the spot for a post to be planted, was then labeled with a "k"...the symbol for "square"...meaning it's square...the back of the "k" is likely the angle in relation to the sun, and the forward side of the "k" is an arrow pointing to the line, in the direction of the "monolith"...i believe that the "surveyor" would mark all the post-holes, and then say "i'm done" , or perhaps "it's all ok"...just before he split, to go chasing girls at the pub( similar to today)...i am sure he had a good time on the job-site...the fun of marking the first hole, and saying " it all starts now", must have been a thrill...more later

 "three squares a day", may have been a reference to checking "square", three times each day, for a living...or trading "surveying services" for meals, from less affluent customers--

 "i'm putting my foot down", may be a reference to the beginning of something big, as this is the phrase i feel the "surveyor" may have spoken often( or the owner/builder), when he had chosen the first point to start the structure from...a "heavy" moment for all, i am sure--


note--

  i, for one, will go a bit slower through construction zones...regardless of the fines...something very serious is going on there( no kidding)--


summary--

   a word about the religious aspects of this post...i am not surprised the devil might decide to take this form( a "surveyor"), as it provided a great advantage( i am a church going person)...also, it would appear that the devil, and jesus, were at odds about more than where we go after we die( the issues seem to be work related as well), whether a person is of either faith( pegan/christian), the fact that both had more going on than religion, is of interest...a carpenter( jesus), and a "surveyor"( the devil), the carpenter chose not to become an apprentice( after 40 years of the surveyor trying to recruit him), and instead, created a new system( very cool)--


 wild speculation--

  at the end of the carpenters life( jesus), i wonder if the surveyor may have gone to the site to take measurements... not for spite, but for the respect of the apprentice he always wanted, and the new system he derived...as this post is only about the science of both systems, i am making efforts to write in an impartial way( scientist stuff...what a bother, not taking sides)--

--benificial/healing properties of swelling in the body--

  i had a part of my bod swell up the other week, and the issue generated some thoughts/insights about the condition, and it's natural medical value--


  the skinny--

  i suggest, that in addition to the benefit of immobilizing the area of injury to the body, there are more, far greater values, to this natural healing system...i feel that when an area of the body swells, it can be described more pointedly, as "re-hydrated", or "super-hydrated", this "super-hydration", dilutes any toxins present at the site, and increases the "surface-area" of the injury( spreading out the damaged tissues), with the toxins in the area diluted, they are more easily removed from the site, via being absorbed by the blood, to be taken away to the muscles beneath( "o2"), and then to the liver, for disposal of the unwanted remaining material( "o2 + remainder"), after an "exchange" occurs, within the epidermis...where some of the toxins are evaporated, and left on the surface of the skin, and some are sent back to the muscles( in the form of "o2 + remainder"...see "sympathetic hydration" post)...i further suggest, that the site of injury will continue to hydrate( swell), until all of the toxins are removed from the area, and the tissue has resumed normal function...

--for more of my opinions, regarding "swelling dynamics" within the body, see my "sympathetic hydration "post--

--inert-gas surgical atmospheric benefits( cancer removal)--

--i have been rolling this one around a looong time--

an epiphany--

   i am totally "talking out of my back-side" on this one...possibly requiring a "verbal-proctologist", or other specialist, in the field of "B.S.", to intervene...or, i could be right...
i have no idea--



  the skinny--

   cancer requires oxygen to grow( like all things in nature...both large, and small), and unfortunately, a large amount of "o2" gets introduced into the abdomen during a cancer operation, this remaining "o2"( in the abdomen, post-op), is then absorbed by the body( good)...and also by any remaining cancer cells( not so good), if this is the case( and some/any cancer remains), the cancer growth-cycle continues, rapidly...

conclusion--

   i suggest, that if the atmosphere the operation is preformed in, is an environment that has no "o2"...but instead is comprised of helium, argon, or another inert gas( the least expensive type available)...no further cancer growth will likely occur...due to there being no "o2"( nature's building-blocks), present in the abdomen, effectively maintaining the body's "vacuum", or lack of oxygen, within the "thoracic cavity"--

affordable application--

  a device to make this concept affordable( a simple inflatable clear plastic chamber, similar to a baby's incubator, with a hole in the bottom), that is fixed/glued/taped to the patient( via an adhesive), with hand-portals to reach the surgical implements on a tray inside( to perform the operation), while the chamber is pressurized with an inert gas...is...
