Sir,
I am Kushal Naik from Surat, India. I am a physics teacher in high school. I heard that one man from Surat had made an engine which produce electricity via gravity. He has made 30 KW model. By this engine we can save planet, and its carbon emmision level is Zero. And huge power plants will be made on any corner of the world.
Do you know about this? Or I will send information on it??
Kushal
Dear Kushal,
Surat - GUJRAT
Reference to your comments for ‘Power Via Gravity’. I am a college student, and is very keen to know about the above subject. I would be grateful if you could share any information regarding the above mentioned engine and power produced by it. Kindly send the information on my below mentioned email id at your earliest.

What would you crazy people have said if you were alive for the end of the ice age. Would you have said, “It’s Global Warming due to mans behavior”
Kevin, the answer to your question would be no. I’m curious…you must believe in science if you believe that there have been warming and cooling periods over the earth’s lifespan? But you are not a believer in human’s contribution to climate change even though science is telling us that is the case. 14,000 years ago humans were not systematically extracting carbon from the earth’s crust and introducing it into the atmosphere as we are doing today. We are responsible for increasing the amount of carbon in the atmosphere while at the same time reducing the biosphere’s capacity to soak it up. The carbon cycle is out of balance. Again, just what science tells us. Your statement would hold more weight if you believed the earth was only 4,000 years old.
Why do you think people as a whole do, or, do not take care of themselves?
I was very sad to see that #2 things to do advises not to eat out. As a small business owner in a struggling economy, we are still doing everything we can to support our local farmers by buying fresh produce and baked goods from our farmers’ market, as well as supporting Grateful Growers (a local farm) for our pork products.
We are struggling to do this and to still keep our prices within a decent range.
Please don’t try and put small restaurants out of business in an effort to save the farmers. Believe me, on a Saturday morning, there are many chefs trolling the market and buying in quantity from the local farmers.
Thank you.
