Tommy, for fun, I looked up the periodic table. Or atomic number as you call it for all the elements in the periodic table. Guess what Tommy? Neither ethanol or gasoline is on the periodic table. Ethanol and gasoline are both liquids made up of several items on the periodic table. A chemist will have to tell me which ones they are. But ethanol and gasoline do not have an atomic number. They are not on the periodic table. Anyone with a grasp of science would know this and not make such a foolish statement as you made.

and hence has less innate energy. The reason that it has a higher octane is because it is more difficult to ignite. Water is difficult to ignite as well though it CAN be done under the proper circumstances. This might lead a thinking individual to realize that octane has nothing to do with energy content of any specific chemical reaction. The reason racing cars use ethanol is because with its higher octane they can supercharge the engine with a denser fuel/air mixture and increase total output that way.

Sorry I forgot to comment on this in my prior post.
Tommy, why are you so wrong almost every time on this forum then?

You were never even in the same category. I worked on what has become the modern medical technology. You worked on marine radios. Certainly there is a need and use for good marine radios. I was designing and building ham radios at 7 or 8 years old using vacuum tubes. You looked up C/L values for frequencies. I taught myself calculus and redid the work of 3 experimental physicists to get a poison gas detector working that they calculated incorrectly.

I became a Novice in 1960, when I was 13: WV6LSF, and I do appear in the Callbook. Got my General a few months later and became WA6LSF. I had to appear at the FCC's office in the Customs House on Battery Street in S.F. for the exam, which included code (both sending and receiving) at 13 words per minute on a straight key. The FCC engineer who administered the test told me I had a good fist. Then in about 1978 the liberal do-gooders pressured President Carter to publish all the questions and the correct answers to the ham radio examinations, and to make the exams themselves a lot easier. Then later they got rid of the code test. I passed my Advanced class test before they dumbed-down the tests. Back then you just about had to be a freakin' trained radio engineer in order to pass the Extra exam. (Call signs were then N6AYJ and later the vanity call W6 World's Biggest Jammer). Even though I'm completely self-taught in radio and electronics, I failed the Extra exam in 1976 by only one question (passed the 20 w.p.m. sending and receiving code test, and again the Engineer complimented me on my sending), so I wasn't too discouraged and intended to take the Extra exam again, but then they published the question pool and dumbed the exam down, so that even rank newbies could get their Extra class licenses immediately, so I never did take it again because I felt it was beneath my dignity. Then I discovered what a fraudulent agency the FCC is. They claim they respect hams' free-speech rights, but if they don't like what you say they call it "interference" and refuse to renew your license when it expires. The Commission shuts down anybody they don't like, or who disagrees with them, if they feel the licensee is too critical of the Commission and too influential within the amateur community. They shut me down by refusing to renew my license. (No finding of "fault" is involved; it's like being laid off as opposed to being fired.) They don't want to spend any money on ham radio enforcement, and who can really blame them when the radio service is defined as totally non-remunerative in nature and involving only "unimportant" communications? But since the Commission won't spend any money on amateur enforcement (and have instead illegally delegated away their enforcement duties to private individuals), bootlegging and shit disturbance is prevalent on the ham bands. So I am really glad to be rid of the FCC because I don't want those people or that agency telling me what to do. I think they are bad people who are just sucking at the public teat. (If you don't believe me, watch the Commission thumb its nose at the attempts by the House FCC oversight subcommittee to regulate the agency, as the Supreme Court has said it must do in order for the underlying Congressional delegation of authority to the agency to be valid.) Mind you, I am not saying that the hams are above reproach, either.. There is something about the ham radio licensing process that selects for weird people.

More of your intellectual idiocy I see. Can you tell me where it says in the FCC regulations that I need a ham license to design radios? I did not like the idea of learning Morse code to get a license and so didn't. I designed 40 meter transceivers which were tested by a local friend with a license.

I really like the idea of you breaking your back to find one thing to complain about without ever acknowledging your being incorrect on everything.

Please continue on. By the way, after I gave you that JAMA reference why didn't you actually read it? Myocarditis only occurs in children 99.9% of the time and you were bright enough to pull that out of both of those papers. It also killed quite a number of children since the data they were showing could only have been gotten through a post mortem.

Given your postings you probably couldn't care less how many children were killed by unnecessary vaccinations as long as you could force the entire world to be vaccinated to achieve the goals of Big Pharma.

I see we're back at your extreme problems with the English language. Gasoline is a molecule as is ethanol. The molecular weight of ethanol is much lower than that of gasoline and hence it carries less energy when combusted with O2.

I suggest that anyone that can't do simple arithmetic as you have shown on multiple occasions not talk about whether someone else could learn calculus.. You are comical in your belief that you require a professor to assign you chapters in a book to learn something. The sheer ignorance you show is what is shocking. I asked my wife about your inability to do simple math and she said that it is quite common among modern graduates starting with the computer age to be unable to do anything without automation.

My father was a freight clerk for the Southern Pacific railroad. He would make out bills of lading and the telegrapher would forward them to the destination where those cars would be pulled off of the freight train. Listening from across the room a telegrapher that was operating one of those double sided keys so rapidly that to me the dots and dashes were a blur he learned Morse code and when the Telegrapher wasn't available he would send them himself. So, self teaching was in the family. I think he had 8th grade education since at the time he was that age he was living in Salinas which didn't have complete schools. What is amazing is that so many people think you need a "qualified" teacher to learn anything. Thomas Edison had virtually no formal education at all. Tesla, no education other than the normal reading writing and arithmetic from his mother (in Serbian mind you). Neither of the Wright Bros gradated from high school and you can just picture Frank and Russell looking down their noses and saying that their accomplishments were impossible and they were lying. It is always the formally educated people that have never accomplished anything at all in their lives that are so upset by those with less formal education that did. You only need to look at the comments from Russell, Frank and Jeff to see that.

OK, I'll accept you judgement, I was impressive. I also had a friend that became professor of advanced physics going from the 9th grade into college. And he was half Samoan. Something I'm sure you wouldn't' believe because of your clear racism when you called me racist without knowing anything about me. But I can forgive and forget and allow you to call me exceptional because you think that radio design requires years and years of study to even understand. In my experience any 8 year old could design a working radio capable of proper bandwidth and frequency because there are hundreds of books on the subject. Perhaps you never bothered to read them and required a teacher to hold your hand. It also took me one day to look up all of the literature on transistors and minutes to understand integrated circuits. I can only apologize to you since the subjects are still outside of your grasp. I wonder why these things seem so difficult to you?

Dr. Shaun Michael (Mick) McCown (Professor of Chemistry)
1st--First degree connection

December 21, 2009, Shaun Michael (Mick) worked with Tom but on different teams (development of PCR automation)

"I am proud to say that I worked with Tom and that I have direct and immediate experience with his outstanding abilities as a software and firmware engineer. The projects on which we worked (detection, abscissa assignment of maxima and quantitation of peaks in analytical waveforms) required an intuitive grasp of concepts of differential and integral calculus and the ability to express these concepts in the form of software and firmware products."

Stew Apelzin
1st First degree connection
"November 3, 2008, Stew worked with Tom on the same teamNovember 3, 2008, Stew worked with Tom on the same team
Tom is a detail oriented engineer. He quickly grasps goals and creates workplans that lead to a successful project completion. At Thoratec we developed a leading edge respiratory monitoring system. Tom was a significant contributor to the process of bringing the system through hospital trials and bringing it to market."

I had dozens of references like this. What about you Jeff?

>> Tommy, for fun, I looked up the periodic table. Or atomic number as you call it for all the elements in the periodic table. Guess what Tommy? Neither ethanol or gasoline is on the periodic table. Ethanol and gasoline are both liquids made up of several items on the periodic table. A chemist will have to tell me which ones they are. But ethanol and gasoline do not have an atomic number. They are not on the periodic table. Anyone with a grasp of science would know this and not make such a foolish statement as you made.
>> and hence has less innate energy. The reason that it has a higher octane is because it is more difficult to ignite. Water is difficult to ignite as well though it CAN be done under the proper circumstances. This might lead a thinking individual to realize that octane has nothing to do with energy content of any specific chemical reaction. The reason racing cars use ethanol is because with its higher octane they can supercharge the engine with a denser fuel/air mixture and increase total output that way.

Well, as usual, you are wrong. Gasoline is not a molecule, nor is it a
single chemical substance.

And any standard reference book, or site on the web will tell you
that.

You complain about people researching the web and instead you,
apparently rely on your bizarre imagination. The Web is better.

Cheers,

John B.

Isn't it a shame that people like John are so stupid that they need things simplified for them so that they can understand what is being said, it then gives them the chance to complain that the simplification is a simplification even when the sense of a statement is correct. Yes little Johnny, gasoline is a mixture of organic compounds but so is ethanol. The point being that gasoline is a denser substance that is more energy rich than ethanol. On the order of 30% more energy.

Why is it when a simple Google search might have benefitted you, you failed to perform one? Is it because you have not the slightest interest in knowledge but only a cheap juvenile argument that does nothing more than expose your own ignorance?

But since the Commission won't spend any money on amateur enforcement (and have instead illegally delegated away their enforcement duties to private individuals), bootlegging and shit disturbance is prevalent on the ham bands. So I am really glad to be rid of the FCC because I don't want those people or that agency telling me what to do. I think they are bad people who are just sucking at the public teat. (If you don't believe me, watch the Commission thumb its nose at the attempts by the House FCC oversight subcommittee to regulate the agency, as the Supreme Court has said it must do in order for the underlying Congressional delegation of authority to the agency to be valid.)

Nikola Tesla did have an education. He did not officially graduate from college with a degree though.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla
Go down to the "Early Years" portion and read. I know reading is very very difficult for you, but try to read nonetheless.

Yes the Wright brothers did not graduate from high school. One did complete high school but did not officially graduate with a degree due to his father's moving as a bishop from town to town frequently. But this was in the 1880s. EIGHTEEN eighties. 140 years ago. It was very common in the midwest at the time to not graduate with a high school diploma. We are not talking about the 1950s, when you were in high school and failed to graduate with a high school diploma. In the seventy years between the Wright brothers being in high school and you being in high school, the world had changed drastically.

Neither of the Wright Bros gradated from high school and you can just picture Frank and Russell looking down their noses and saying that their accomplishments were impossible and they were lying. It is always the formally educated people that have never accomplished anything at all in their lives that are so upset by those with less formal education that did. You only need to look at the comments from Russell, Frank and Jeff to see that.

There we go with the demonstration from Russell again that a partial education for someone else in an entirely different language is better than a partial education in English for an American. Every time you turn around you stick your foot in it don't you?

I had to appear at the FCC's office in the Customs House on Battery Street in S.F.. for the exam, which included code (both sending and receiving) at 13 words per minute on a straight key. The FCC engineer who administered the test told me I had a good fist. Then in about 1978 the liberal do-gooders pressured President Carter to publish all the questions and the correct answers to the ham radio examinations, and to make the exams themselves a lot easier.. Then later they got rid of the code test. I passed my Advanced class test before they dumbed-down the tests. Back then you just about had to be a freakin' trained radio engineer in order to pass the Extra exam. (Call signs were then N6AYJ and later the vanity call W6 World's Biggest Jammer). Even though I'm completely self-taught in radio and electronics, I failed the Extra exam in 1976 by only one question (passed the 20 w.p.m. sending and receiving code test, and again the Engineer complimented me on my sending), so I wasn't too discouraged and intended to take the Extra exam again, but then they published the question pool and dumbed the exam down, so that even rank newbies could get their Extra class licenses immediately, so I never did take it again because I felt it was beneath my dignity. Then I discovered what a fraudulent agency the FCC is. They claim they respect hams' free-speech rights, but if they don't like what you say they call it "interference" and refuse to renew your license when it expires. The Commission shuts down anybody they don't like, or who disagrees with them, if they feel the licensee is too critical of the Commission and too influential within the amateur community. They shut me down by refusing to renew my license. (No finding of "fault" is involved; it's like being laid off as opposed to being fired.) They don't want to spend any money on ham radio enforcement, and who can really blame them when the radio service is defined as totally non-remunerative in nature and involving only "unimportant" communications? But since the Commission won't spend any money on amateur enforcement (and have instead illegally delegated away their enforcement duties to private individuals), bootlegging and shit disturbance is prevalent on the ham bands. So I am really glad to be rid of the FCC because I don't want those people or that agency telling me what to do. I think they are bad people who are just sucking at the public teat. (If you don't believe me, watch the Commission thumb its nose at the attempts by the House FCC oversight subcommittee to regulate the agency, as the Supreme Court has said it must do in order for the underlying Congressional delegation of authority to the agency to be valid.) Mind you, I am not saying that the hams are above reproach, either. There is something about the ham radio licensing process that selects for weird people.

Listening from across the room a telegrapher that was operating one of those double sided keys so rapidly that to me the dots and dashes were a blur he learned Morse code and when the Telegrapher wasn't available he would send them himself. So, self teaching was in the family. I think he had 8th grade education since at the time he was that age he was living in Salinas which didn't have complete schools. What is amazing is that so many people think you need a "qualified" teacher to learn anything. Thomas Edison had virtually no formal education at all. Tesla, no education other than the normal reading writing and arithmetic from his mother (in Serbian mind you). Neither of the Wright Bros gradated from high school

One did complete high school but did not officially graduate with a degree due to his father's moving as a bishop from town to town frequently. But this was in the 1880s. EIGHTEEN eighties. 140 years ago. It was very common in the midwest at the time to not graduate with a high school diploma. We are not talking about the 1950s, when you were in high school and failed to graduate with a high school diploma. In the seventy years between the Wright brothers being in high school and you being in high school, the world had changed drastically.

??????? You continue to confound me with your nonsense Tommy.
An education in whatever Nikola Tesla's native language is no better or worse than an education in English or any other language. Textbooks in a multitude of languages are produced. But they should all have the same facts in them. Merely having the description translated into many different languages to allow more people to learn these facts. And then use these facts, in many different languages but still the same fact, to learn and expand the knowledge base. I suspect a partial education in one country is equal to a partial education in another country. Likewise with a full education. I assume a college degree in biology or mathematics or mechanical engineering is equal whether its from a college in Germany, Britain, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Qatar, Canada, USA, Peru. Only difference is the student/mind and the language the degree was taught in. I doubt the teaching language has any effect.

Concerning this 40 meter transmitter. I have only vaguely been following the subject. My apologies. But is this 40 meter transmitter the height of the tower up in the air? Or is it the distance the morse code machine teleprompter ham radio whatever could send a signal and be picked up by a similar machine?

If its the tower height, then WOW. 7 or 8 year old Tommy could build a 40 meter tall metal antenna. Obviously an engineering, construction master at such an early age.

If its the distance the message traveled from machine to machine. Then I have to ask why? At 7 or 8 years old I could yell loud enough for someone to hear me 40 meters away. Or I could have just run the 40 meters and told them quietly in their ear. No need to invent a machine to cover 40 meters distance. Waste of time and effort.

Why? I couldn't care less what mistakes are on the dates. This only seems to bother nobodies that are jealous of my achievements. Hurts doesn't it.

Maybe you can explain to Russell just how stupid he is.

40 meters is the wavelength of the frequency it transmits on. Around 7.5
MHz if I did the math in my head right and didn’t lose any zeros.

I saw that quote from Tommy too and wondered about it. "I couldn't care less what mistakes are on the dates." Couldn't care less about the dates on his resume? So if he wrote on his resume that he served in the Air Force from 1904 to 1908, that is OK with him. And should be OK with his potential employer too. I can't remember if Tommy said he invented and patented the MRI or not. But his resume might say he worked on its creation in the 1990s during the dot com craze. 20 years after its creation.

Thank you very much. And just so you know, and everyone knows, I do try to back up my replies with factual evidence. And when making opinion based replies, I try to clearly indicate they are opinions. Or at least write it so everyone knows it is an opinion. Red is the best color for a bike!!!!!!!!!!!!

The so called 40 meter band, otherwise known as the 7-MHz band,is an
amateur radio band I believe something like 7.000-7.300 MHz

" jealous of my achievements"??? Well of course.

After all we all can't live in a $50,000 house in a slum whining about
the cost of groceries.

Thank The Lord I'm not so lucky!

You must also be jealous that I paid my mother's cancer treatments and bought her home. And it was for $154,000. So why are you using the price it cost the original owner in 1954? Are you supposing that makes you clever? I gave her a million dollar stock option I had and she ended up spending the entire thing mostly, I suppose on her treatments. And then when she went into a nursing home I paid for everything, though perhaps with that original amount of money she had already paid for her entire burial expenses.

What did you ever do for your mother besides spit on her grave for birthing someone so stupid?

Why on earth would anyone be jealous of paying for your mother's cancer treatment? Cancer is considered bad. Nothing to be jealous of. At least not for people who have a competent brain. And paying for treatment? I would not want to do that. I'd rather my mother's insurance pay for that. My mom has great health insurance. Now of course if forced to do it, I would pay for it. But I would not want to do it or be happy and proud of doing it.. It would just be a necessity of life. As for buying your mom a home. I guess good for you. But my mom has more than enough money to buy her own house. So no need to do that. I think it is best when a parent manages money correctly and can pay for necessities and luxuries too. No need for children to step in and help. Parents are supposed to be role models. And usually, when parents are good, the children are good too. Kind of inherited. In your case Tommy, it seems your mother was not good with money. And from your many postings on this forum, you inherited that too. Lost money under Obama? Ha Ha Ha Ha.

> And it was for $154,000. So why are you using the price it cost the original owner in 1954? Are you supposing that makes you clever? I gave her a million dollar stock option

When you say million dollar stock option, what exactly do you mean? The net profit from exercising the option was one million dollars after selling the stock/commodity? Or the cost to exercise the option was one million? You had options on 100,000 bushels of soybeans at $10. And I have mentioned this before, but did she declare this income on her income taxes? You do know the gift tax has a limit of $15,000 now. So any amount that is above that, is taxed for the recipient. So did she and you CHEAT the government out of taxes due? You gave her $985,000 of income. She owed taxes on this income. Are you a tax cheat and felon Tommy?

I had and she ended up spending the entire thing mostly, I suppose on her treatments. And then when she went into a nursing home I paid for everything, though perhaps with that original amount of money she had already paid for her entire burial expenses.

You tell me why John continues to repeat the original cost of this house and pretend that was the cost of it when my mother bought it?

The money that I gave my mother for cancer treatments seems to bother John a lot. I guess he never did a thing for his own mother and doesn't understand why anyone else would.

When the electronics industry first started up, they paid almost minimum wage but would give you stock options. When my mother contracted cancer, radiation treatments and chemotherapy was considered experimental treatments and her health insurance wouldn't pay for it. That option was at a company that succeeded and the total worth before taxes was very close to a million dollars. So whatever the tax rate was in those days (which was probably pretty high) was paid out and my mother paid for her treatments and then I assume that what was left over she used to purchase the home she willed to me.

The income tax rates were somewhere around 70% but medical deduction must have knocked that way down.

>You must also be jealous that I paid my mother's cancer treatments and bought her home. And it was for $154,000. So why are you using the price it cost the original owner in 1954? Are you supposing that makes you clever? I gave her a million dollar stock option I had and she ended up spending the entire thing mostly, I suppose on her treatments. And then when she went into a nursing home I paid for everything, though perhaps with that original amount of money she had already paid for her entire burial expenses.

Well... I paid for both my Mother in law's and Father in law's
hospital treatments and, of course their funeral costs when they died.
And while my mother in law died in the hospital by father in law
recovered sufficiently to "come home" and not being some sort of Cruel
American, there was never any question of a "nursing home. Nope he
staid with us until he died.

As for "my" mother she died while I was serving overseas, "making the
world safe from Communism", in another of the U.S.'s futile wars, so
no I didn't attend her funeral.

>Why on earth would anyone be jealous of paying for your mother's cancer treatment? Cancer is considered bad. Nothing to be jealous of. At least not for people who have a competent brain. And paying for treatment? I would not want to do that. I'd rather my mother's insurance pay for that. My mom has great health insurance. Now of course if forced to do it, I would pay for it. But I would not want to do it or be happy and proud of doing it. It would just be a necessity of life. As for buying your mom a home. I guess good for you. But my mom has more than enough money to buy her own house. So no need to do that. I think it is best when a parent manages money correctly and can pay for necessities and luxuries too. No need for children to step in and help. Parents are supposed to be role models. And usually, when parents are good, the children are good too. Kind of inherited. In your case Tommy, it seems your mother was not good with money. And from your many
postings
>on this forum, you inherited that too. Lost money under Obama? Ha Ha Ha Ha.
>
Laugh if you will but I believe that Tommy lost money in the stock
market while Obama was President. It illustrates so well his level of
intelligence and competence in investing money.

>> When you say million dollar stock option, what exactly do you mean? The net profit from exercising the option was one million dollars after selling the stock/commodity? Or the cost to exercise the option was one million? You had options on 100,000 bushels of soybeans at $10. And I have mentioned this before, but did she declare this income on her income taxes? You do know the gift tax has a limit of $15,000 now. So any amount that is above that, is taxed for the recipient. So did she and you CHEAT the government out of taxes due? You gave her $985,000 of income. She owed taxes on this income. Are you a tax cheat and felon Tommy?

Tommy, that is what the Real Estate records tell me was the last sale
price of the house. Did you pay more? Maybe some money "under the
table" so that the seller could cheat on his taxes? Is that you are
telling us? That you abetted a felony?

>The money that I gave my mother for cancer treatments seems to bother John a lot. I guess he never did a thing for his own mother and doesn't understand why anyone else would.

Lord! You are really way out in left field (as the saying goes) Why in
the world would I have any idea of what you paid for your mother's
sickness or later treatment?
