Hello dear DK,

I hope all is well with you and family.

What I think of this? It makes me smile :) It's wonderfully inventive and also unnecessarily complicated :) We don't need to plant machines into natural bodies, we have our own bodies to play with, and they can give us all the information we would want and need in order to live in harmony and respect with all other forms of life!

As always, it is a matter of intention. We can be concerned with defence, control of other forms of life and using them as our generator of power ... or we can put our intention on finding our inner source of security and power in a completely transparent universe.

DK,
How is your back?
Are you doing OK?
Just concerned and want you to be well!
Todd

Whoever talked DARPA into financing this study is laughing all the way to the bank, no doubt...

This is an old article, but will give the scope of what DARPA is doing. Lots of running to the bank.

Better we spend our money on this. This is a potential energy device separate from my light storage device.

Something I discovered roller blading, I discussed it with a Russian friend of mine some years back that was much more versed in physics and math than I. He thought I was on to something.

It happened in practice when I did not give into to the intitial fear of falling impulse I was able in the last moment an infinitesimal before reaching the threshold of destabilized equilibrium beyond recovery, convert gravity into a propelling force. I can roller blade fairly fast without lifting the wheels or pushing.

Gravity is like energy, as I mentioned before perhaps the opposite of energy. Makes one wonder if gravity is mass, not created by it. (clue?) Is the universe so simple as a play of attraction and repulsion? A concentration of attractor functions creating the mass?

Gravity is vertical to the plane of mass vector, type of force / energy, and it’s free not requiring generation (energy can't technically be generated).

What I found is that I could alter the vector of gravity to a horizontal vector with a biomechanical sleight of hand conversion. The amount of energy required to change the vector of gravity is less than than the output, making it a positive return on expended energy.

Some physics or math genius is going to need to figure out the equations and principles. It requires conversion at the micro level where something like the Casimir-Polder force (the force that comes from nothing) is used to do the vector conversion. So there is no real conversion of energy just a vector redirection of force happening in real time.

it's like sailing at the micro level which propels the macro level

That might be how we can better harness gravity, which we actually already do with hydropower like water wheels. The properties of water actually provide the natural mechanics for gravity vector transformation.

Of course it would be a clunky looking machine that would turn gravity into the force for travel across a plane of matter unless we are good at designing at the nano level.

Well there you have it, free to the public domain.

These are thought experiments, minimal investment. In an information universe we don’t need objects to experiment with, they are the product of what we study.

Lightning has a thing called a leader which creates the path the before lightning strikes and the bolt then follows, I suspect the clouds of humanity produces thought leaders in the sky of the universe, or is it universe of the sky? To create the path and the spark of evolution dost travel it.

SRA8 sends in a Washington Post piece about work at various academic, government, and military labs on insect-sized flying spies.

A number of people reported what appeared to be flying mechanical insects, larger than dragonflies, over an antiwar rally in Washington DC last month.

The reporter got mostly no-comments from the agencies he called trying to pin down what it was they saw. Only the FBI said through a spokesman: "We don't have anything like that." The article describes work on insect cyborgs as well as purely mechanical flying spies, but quotes vice admiral Joe Dyer, former commander of the Naval Air Systems Command now at iRobot in Burlington, Mass., as follows: "I'll be seriously dead before that program deploys." The article also mentions an International Symposium on Flying Insects and Robots, held in Switzerland in August, at which Japanese researchers demonstrated radio-controlled fliers with four-inch wingspans that resemble hawk moths.
