[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 3894653, member: 24583"] I wonder what will be said when someone figures out that the wind resistance on the generator prop blades will be changing the rotation of the earth over time? They do have a substantial concrete base, that friction of the wind has to push on something to keep it from being blown over ya know. Hummm Yep, but with that, the world will be different. Kinda like the 50-70yo major pipeline that the computers failed and was shut down for over a week a while back. No one knew how to manually get it back on line. All the old guys had retired off, prob most had died off. None of the current employed newbies knew how to bypass the computer system and manually open the valves and start the pumps to restore flow for over a week till they got in new computer equipment. The newer generation has moved ahead of common sense thinking about trouble shooting and improvising to make temporary things happen in an emergency situation because they only know how to do things "by the book". It might be they need to take a special advanced course after they get their college degree in computerized electronic controls and be introduced to duct tape and bailing wire. Feed an alternate signal most likely available in a test simulator kit to the valves controller to swing to the open position, and then jumper power the electrical contacts to start the motor pumping. No, not "by the book", but the failure was not "by the book" also. And not by "the book" it won't read the bearing temperatures or give you the pump vibration factors or the temperature or humidity, but the pipe will be squirting oil out the other end of it and your company will not be loosing thousands of $/day until you can get it back to normal operation. Who was it, Al Gore who was speaking to an HS graduating class telling them to not pay attention to their parents because they were smarter than their parents? Yep, get rid of history and the knowledge of the old guys that created everything you are using today and see how it all works out. Oh yes, that has been said in other conspiracy theories, guess I have been watching to many "Ancient Aliens" specials on the history channel. [/QUOTE]
