Advanced Extremely High Frequency is a series of communications satellites operated by the United States Air Force Space Command. They will be used to relay secure communications for the Armed Forces of the United States; the British Armed Forces; the Canadian Forces and the Royal Netherlands Armed Forces.
The 119 debuted the Gemini 3 frog back in early 2015 and as a result, has unintentionally started a plague that has spread to the southern and central areas. Now you wonder why so many of them are on those routes.
I’ve said in the past about how little I like these buses so I don’t feel I need to say anything else on that front. It’s a long route at 11 miles and had a frequency cut a couple of years ago along with a few other Metrobus routes around the Croydon area. It’s certainly busy enough to warrant a 24hr service.
The terminus is a bit weird though; it’s a shopping centre next to the playing fields that bear no relation to the airport that closed in 1959.
BP15OLV (WHV45) is at Bromley South Station working a journey to Purley Way, Colonnades via West Wickham and Croydon. Based at Croydon (C) Garage.
When I started my career with IBM, one of my co-workers was a very interesting engineer, Marvin K. He was extremely intelligent and curious about many things, including astronomy, science, electronics and photography.
About a year after his death in 2004, his wife called me and said that she had a ham radio that he had built as a teenager and she thought I might like to have it. After I brought it home, I noticed that curled inside of the large copper coil, were several sheets of hand-written notes that described a lot about the construction and early use of this very basic radio transmitter. Typical of Marvin, the note was very detailed and contained a great deal of information about the radio. Here is his narrative....
"This is the short-wave amateur radio transmitter I built when I was age 13 in 1931-1932 in Sac City, Iowa. I operated under the call letters of W9AZA issued for the 80 meter CW band of 3.5 to 3.9 kilocycles per second (now called Kilo Hertz, or KHz, continuous wave, where the transmitter is keyed on and off with a telegraph-type key, using International Morse Code, NO voice operation)
This transmitter is a self-excited, push-pull oscillator, using two type ’45 tubes, where a heavy radio frequency current is generated, which oscillated back and forth at the resonant frequency of a tuned circuit consisting to two things: the large copper coil and the main tuning capacitor (or ‘condenser’). Energy is electromagnetically coupled to the two smaller copper coils which are connected to another tuning capacitor and the antenna system. This provides another resonant circuit which is tuned to the same radio frequency as the oscillator. Energy is then radiated from the antenna system…which was a zeppelin-type antenna with a 132 foot flat top, end fed with two parallel wires spaced 8 inches apart, one connected to one end of the 132’ antenna, the other one dead ended there..(not connected).
A separate power supply provided power to this transmitter. It consisted of a 115-volt AC power transformer, one type ’80 rectifier tube, two 8mfd, 450 volt filter capacitors, a filter choke and bleeder resistor. The transformer also supplied 5 volts AC for the ’80 tube filaments, 2 ½ volts AC for the ’45 tube filaments and 500 to 600 volts AC, center-tapped, for the nominally 250 to 300 volts DC for the transmitter tube plates. Plate power input to the transmitter oscillator circuit was maybe 20 or 30 watts, maximum. (I couldn’t afford voltmeters or ammeters which would have told me more...!) My radius of operation was Iowa and the adjacent states – seldom further.
My short-wave receiver was initially a 1 tube regenerative receiver I built and later a Super Wasp receiver, that my neighbor across the street had built and had replaced with a more up-to-date factory-built SW receiver. The Pilot Super-Wasp required a 6-volt car-battery for the tube filaments and a B- battery eliminator (connected to the 115 volts DC house current) for the 45, 90 and 180 volts DC the receiver used. It had plug-in coils to cover the 20, 40 80 and 160 meter amateur bands, as well as the broadcast band. It was regenerative also.
I operated mainly from 1932 thru 1940. The license had to be renewed, with proof of use, every 3 years or so. I finally let it run out….should have kept it active. My license was W9AZA, was a re-issue and came out when the W9K ---‘s (a very early call)...were coming out. My neighbor got W9KDL as the same time I got mine. He helped me, and we practiced code together via a telegraph line he installed between his house, mine and another 1 block away and one more a mile away..!
The plastic cover over the transmitter is not part of the original, but is just to keep the dust off. The cover, from an IBM type 650 scientific computer magnetic drum (circa 1955-1960) just happened to be the right size…!"

"If you wish to find the secrets of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration. »

In this picture in Rosheim we see on the pillar a pattern with designing the magnetic waves and a vortex formed by the faces, probably it is necessary to put oneself in a circle around this column at the crossroads of fields of gold, nickel, mercury and silver. With a snapping sound the machine broke loose from the six quarter inch bolts that connected it to the ground, and then, with a soft wining sound, it took off with a blue glowing fog emerging from the machine . Dowsing is not a gift reserved for an elite. Everyone has the innate ability to do so. This ability is amplified when the individual is listening to his body and environment. This feeling can be practiced, worked on and refined by everyone. Ask and you will receive! Moreover, the perception of radiation by the body is a phenomenon that everyone has already experienced. We have all felt physically comfortable or uncomfortable entering certain places before. Any visible or invisible form emits form waves that have a positive or negative impact on our body. The world and the elements that make it up exist only through the interactions of these present waves. A good geobiologist will know how to interpret these shape waves and vibrations to define and harmonize them in a given place. Two forms of radiesthesia are available to the geobiologist. The first is resonance radiesthesia, which is based on the response of tools to the radiation of the geobiological phenomena sought, such as a metal network, a fault, an underground watercourse, a vortex, etc. These radiesthesia tools can be a Lecher antenna, a pendulum, an antenna lobe, metal rods, etc. The second method is mental radiesthesia: following the formulation of a clear and precise question, the energetic bodies dilate in a perceptible way by a physical feeling specific to each geobiologist. These two methods of dowsing can also be accompanied by biometric tables or figures to qualify and quantify the phenomenon observed.
Imagine that we could control that force ....
The radiesthesists of the Middle Ages and Antiquity were the precursors of modern geobiologists with their knowledge and feelings of the time. These dowsers and scientists used sticks, rods, clocks and other divinatory tools to demonstrate and amplify their feelings, in order to determine the presence of visible or invisible phenomena. They did this by observing the reactions of their instruments to the radiation emitted by the bodies they were looking for. The radiesthesist could look for the presence of groundwater (dowser), minerals or any other material. Many engravings describe the use of the divining rod, such as Major Re Metallica (1556) by Georgius Agricola, grandfather founder of mineralogy and metallurgy. Today, the contemporary geobiologist will of course have highly sophisticated and expensive devices such as the high and low frequency electromagnetic wave detector, in order to measure and determine the source of electromagnetic disturbances that affect electro-sensitive or non-sensitive occupants.
The universal power law for the spectrum of one-dimensional breaking Riemann waves is justified for the simple wave equation. The spectrum of spatial amplitudes at the breaking time $t = t_b$ has an asymptotic decay of $k^{-4/3}$, with corresponding energy spectrum decaying as $k^{-8/3}$. This spectrum is formed by the singularity of the form $(x-x_b)^{1/3}$ in the wave shape at the breaking time. This result remains valid for arbitrary nonlinear wave speed. In addition, we demonstrate numerically that the universal power law is observed for long time in the range of small wave numbers if small dissipation or dispersion is accounted in the viscous Burgers or Korteweg-de Vries equations.
Sengupta's lower bound for the Yang-Mills action on smooth connections on a bundle over a Riemann surface generalizes to the space of connections whose action is finite. In this larger space the inequality can always be saturated. The Yang-Mills critical sets correspond to critical sets of the energy action on a space of paths. This may shed light on Atiyah and Bott's conjecture concerning Morse theory for the space of connections modulo gauge transformations.Among Viktor Schaubergers machines there is no one like the Repulsin or the flying saucer that has created such myths and stories. The basic designs are from the mid thirties when he tried to finish the Climator. Often mysterious material acting as catalysts are used in the devices. Different light and sound phenomena are also reported from people that claim that they had been eye witnesses to these flying devices. A most peculiar thing is that they seem to be very difficult to control, as they have a habit of smashing into the ceiling, and after that, being irreparable. Viktor himself claimed that powerful diamagnetic forces were responsible for the enormous effect. However, in the literature and in Viktor's own notebooks there is no evidence, if and if so how these devices worked. The question is, are all these rumours true ? Do these devices really work ?
Well, what we can see from the few pictures that exist is that there seems to be some kind of turbine, shaped as a double flat membrane with concentric rills on it. If you compare to the wave pattern you get when you throw a stone into a small pond you will comprehend better what I mean. However, the wave pattern on the upper membrane had a small difference in the phase compared to the lower membrane. On the edge rim, turbine vanes are mounted, probably acting as a source of power for both self rotation and even for the generation of power. The double membrane was probably co-rotating as four bolts that fix them together, can be observed. As modern quantum physics shows us with the experiment of the double groove, the trajectory of photonic particles reacts to the observer's gaze and intention. It is therefore demonstrable that the condition of your geobiologist allows him to resonate or not with the forces present on the site and to define them well, or even to influence and harmonize them if necessary. There was a time when invisible electrons were only a theory, then came the advent of CERN's electron microscopes and particle accelerator, which validated the 1964 theory of the Higgs Boson (God's particle) in 2012. From that moment on, everything became possible according to science! As this event taught us, even today, human intuition and feelings often exceed the capabilities of the most advanced machines. Several geobiological discoveries also apply here.
In the pictures we can also see that there is some kind of body, a bowl shaped plate that is bend over the membrane whose outlet can be found inside the rim foil. Together, the rim foil (the metal band around the lower rim) and the outlet form a Venturi "tube". An air intake can be seen on the top of the device. Unfortunately, one important component is missing on the top. This component should "pre-form" the air so it starts to twist before it enters the double membrane. This component had a similar shape as a sea shell. Viktor said that this device was never built as it is very difficult to produce a thing with such a complex geometry. In the book Living Water (by Olof Alexandersson) a colloid solution of very fine grained quartz crystal and water is mentioned as a catalyst for the process.
So, if we start to think for a while. Let's say that this device really worked, it really did take off! How would it work ?
Consider what probably happens in the machine:
- The air is sucked through the intake where it is pre-formed into a vortice containing vortices within vortices shaped as long threads rotating around their axis.In my opinion the double membrane was not co-rotating. If they where not counter rotating, one of the was fixed, probably the upper membrane and the lower rotating on the driving axis. A description on what happens is given on the wind mill page.
- Briefly the air threads start to spin faster and faster around their axis driven by the difference in speed between the membranes. As the air reaches longer out on the membrane, the peripherical speed increases along with the radius and so does the angular speed of the air threads.
- During the passage between the double membrane the air has to pass cavities where the volume sometimes is bigger and sometimes is smaller due to the difference in phase between the upper and the lower membrane. When the air passes a narrow cavity it gets extra energy input and when it passes a larger cavity it is allowed to expand.
- The "air threads" are twisted along their axis in a smaller and smaller radius leading to an increase of the angular speed. As the air reaches further out, closer to the rim, the threads start to bend due to the increasing peripherical speed. When the air passes the different cavities it starts to pulsate in a rhythm that is depending on the angular speed of the disc. Huge forces are generated when all these degrees of freedom are harmonised into a symphony.
However, it is not necessary to use unknown theories as the diamagnetic forces to explain how the powerful lift is generated. Of course this can be the explanation, the future will show us if this is the case. As for the colloid solution of fine grained quartz and water, one can imagine that huge amounts of piezo electricity is produced between the membranes, where the pulsating and twisting air containing small amounts of the solution is passing. At a certain rotation speed we have reached the level where we have "harmony" and the air is "self pulsating" and generating electricity that "pumps" up the energy level. What actually happens in this process in certainly unknown! But, high levels of static electricity have been reported in similar devices connected to the ZPE-area. ZPE stands for zero point energy or vacuum energy which is the idea of an unknown field of energy existing in vacuum. Read more about this phenomena! In several proposals of propulsion devices, for flying saucers high electric energy levels are also used. As an example we have David Hamels flying disk. You can read about it here. It could be that the diamagnetism that Viktor Schauberger mentioned, is the same phenomena or physical principle that is proposed in these propulsion devices. In Viktor's lessons he always talked about two important things:
"You shall always remember two things. First, remember how the rivers are meandering. Second, remember the electrophorus (or Kelvin's thunderstorm ) experiments!"
As I mentioned before there is one (at least…) more explanation on why Viktor Schaubergers machine took off with such power. It might be explained by "normal" aerodynamics and a phenomena named ‘the Coanda effect'. Very brief the Coanda effect is the phenomena when a flowing media tends to "stick" to a curved surface, You can read a biography of Henri Coanda here . If we take a closer look on the bowl shaped plate, we realise that it is a circular wing. When the air is rushing out inside the foil or the metal band that can be seen on the lower rim of the device it creates a sub pressure just over the foil.
The surrounding air is sucked inside the foil and with the air from the membranes. This generates a sub pressure over the device and the device is "hanging" in it. You could say that it is an inverted hovercraft. But instead of creating a pressure under the craft You create a sub pressure over it. Basically it is the same, it is only a matter of pressure differences. The sub pressure is modest but as we have a large area we also get a huge lifting force. There is one more way to create the sub pressure over the craft. You can let the air blow out on the top instead.
When the twisted air follows the Coanda surface it sweeps down the surrounding air and we get the sub pressure this way. If You want to read more about the Coanda effect follow this link . On this page You can read a lot about different applications and a very interesting new type of fan, the Jet Fan.
The principle of the "flats and angles" (type 1) is demonstrated in picture 1, where I have built a small (250 mm diameter, 80 mm high) prototype of the Jet Fan type (type1). I have also "rebuilt" my vacuum cleaner so it is blowing instead (my wife demanded a new one … ). The air blows out through a special nozzle so it forms a "disk" of blowing air.
Picture 2: When the nozzle with the "air disk" is placed close to the top, we can simulate what is happening on type 1. As You can see in the picture, the silk threads follow the air flow shoving the path.
Picture 3: Oh Yes, It works !
The Malmögroup will continue their work during 1998 with further testing of these ideas. We proposed a model of the membrane turbine and will continue to shape the moulds so we can multiply the membranes. A section of the body will also be designed as a test rig where it will be possible to test different profiles of the body and different types of nozzles and other things related to the device. We will also present the results on this page, please continue to check the site. I will write in the "what's new section" when there is more info.

An older shot of Jessica but trying out the frequency separation technique. It definitely evens out the skin and colours a bit. Here's a video I've watched a couple times to get a sense of what to do - www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWDYYk6nWqc
Apparently this is getting overused as a technique these days (fstoppers had an article about it - fstoppers.com/originals/frequency-separation-rehab-42129), but I can see it as a nice addition to the Photoshop arsenal.

I enjoy watching my friends on Flickr work with textures, patterns, and colours. Photoshop effects are so much fun to get lost within. I was curious about the control I would have on an image using Smart Objects and Filters. These elements can be pushed much like multiple undos. I took an image of a Church block wall and created this abstract. I don’t know what I think of it yet but it feels like some of the images I have posted recently.
I animated the before and after on my blog; bit.ly/FrequencyStatic
Have a great day, Rick.
