Hi Don et al!

About the Taos hum thing, I suggested to the lady that she listen to a
variable oscillator to identify exactly what frequency the hum
involved...from that point, you could make an oscillator with a phase
adjuster, set it to 180 degrees and the sound should cancel EVEN IF
INTERNALLY GENERATED...I have a pair of those phase conjugate
headphones...they have little microphones built into each earphone and
facing slightly forward....it picks up incoming sounds, processes them
so you can have up to a 180 degree phase angle to suppress or cancel the
frequency or group of frequencies you want to affect...it works with
frequencies lower than 100 cps and is intended for working near heavy
machinery or maybe sitting near a jet engine while flying...it does
work...

Regarding phase conjugation...we have this weird idea these days that
everything HAS TO BE DIGITAL...you can do some INCREDIBLE things with
analog circuits, with damn near real time responses....did you know they
used to make analog computers? They were great for simulators and games
as they responded so fast...now for the interesting story, well, I
thought so at the time and still do..

I have a friend who has been a musician for many years, he plays bass
guitar and 'sangs'....he says he's and various bands have played some
rough venues where people shout and scream to drown out the music....he
says as a neat trick, they used to point the microphones toward the
audience, (remember this is all analog equipment), send the realtime
audio, at ALL KINDS OF FREQUENCIES, through the phase adjuster and into
the speakers....the entire bar would become deathly quiet although
people would still be shouting and making noise, nothing would come
out...that's what he said...I would LOVE to experience this..he said it
certainly got the attention of the bar 'patrons' and they would
eventually switch back and start playing music...

When I was a teen, a friend swapped for this way cool guitar amplifier
that had a reverb knob on it....you could speak into a mic or stroke a
chord and have it repeat for up to 30 MINUTES!!! Damndest thing I ever
saw....

So, I would am of the opinion that when we get free energy and gravity
control it will be achieved much easier using ANALOG equipment than with
digital...the main thing with digital is you have more precise control
over it and you can collect all kinds of data for processing...
