yes,  I know they are much stronger for the HP than IC technology,  the original subaru hybrid conversion featured in MEN used a 10HP aircraft starter/generator,  but they did add a cooling blower.  We have a subaru we have converted to EV with junk yard electric forklift parts, motor is probably be around 15 HP, 36-48V DC, it runs,  but we only had 4 regular car batteries on it and it pulled the voltage down hard just to start moving.  So it's also waiting for my power supply.    I also have a 25 hp AC motor,  will put it in my 3/4 ton truck just as soon as I can power it suitably. 
  I was homeschooled and started at around 13 YO over 30 years ago visiting a big city library and reading the stories of inventors and their inventions,  been at it ever since.  I've come across some very strange inventions and talked to some modern inventors who were being shut down by big business.  there's been a  lot of stuff invented in the relm of energy that the general public has never heard of,  stuff that would have wiped big oil out of existence many times over, which is why you never hear of it. I gotta be very careful what I say. stick with general terms,  The world and it's governments are held under slavery by big business  worse than hardly anyone realizes.  While they maintain a fairly nice public image.  It way too big for anyone to fight,  all we can do is a few of us figure out stuff for ourselves and shut up about it so we don't get our heads chopped off.    Mr T tried to give it to the world over 100 years ago but they stopped him then,  and are still stopping it,  so they can make big money on energy.

we got it,    but too late to do me much good,  I looked through it and found I already knew a lot of what was there.  But I've spent 40 years gathering the info from hundreds of sources.  That kind of throws a whole lot of sources together in one place.

Experience the power of example!      In general,  animals look up to humans as their leaders,  protectors,  etc.  At least that's how most of our creatures operate.
The one giving the orders and demanding respect is the boss.  I have never seen such a direct follow the leader action as that,  but new things happen all the time. 

  I've been collecting urine and marking my territory,  I fenced in a plot of okra and peanuts with extra tomato stakes and string,  and the deer were stepping through the strings anyway.  Until I started hanging dirty laundry around on the fence and watering it and the stakes with P water.    They haven't entered since.

I hadn't heard of "rocket stove" before,  but I see what it is.  I don't think it's practical for heating.  for one thing constant feeding with a consistent fuel size may be an issue.  Ok for cooking where it will get constant attention.  I built a wood gas unit big enough to power a 360 gas engine,  but didn't use it much because it took too much time to process the wood.

I have lived in an 8x14 cabin for several years,  with a little ordinary wood stove in the corner.    Last year I moved in an old motor home with missing engine and very leaky roof,  built a roof over it,  stripped out all the water damaged interior which was all of the stuff on the front half,  kitchen and dining area.  Put in a block base for a stove and a quickly made wood stove out of a hot water heater tank.  chimney went through the old gas refrigerator metal access door.  Been cooking on it all winter.    The rest of the open space became my electronics experimenting shop.  Of course I live on 80 acres way out in the middle of 1000's of acres timber company land.  A little smoke won't bother anyone and fuel is plentiful.  I love land and don't care if my house is small,  since I work outside during daylight hours anyway.  If I had fuel shortage or neighbor/smoke issues I might want a more efficient stove.  Then a little water stove might be good, a  fast low smoke fire once a day and then the hot water keeps me warm the rest of the time.  An old gas water heater might do the job there.      Everything torn off of it and the tank set on top a  little fire box with a chimney out the top.  Would have to allow for easy removal of the chimney to scrape the creosote down from the tube inside frequently.  always use it in open top mode,  just keep it full of water.  The uninsulated tank full of hot water might be enough to keep warm,  if more is needed add a little tiny pump and radiator with fan.  If less is needed,  slap some insulation on one side of the tank.

I already have an electric tractor,  just dosn't have the power system set up yet.  I used a 15 hp  3ph motor from the junkyard to replace the engine on my john deer 2010 just to carry the flywheel with a large twin B pulley on the shaft driven by a subaru engine mounted above it,  2-1 drive to reduce the car engine rpm to what the tractor was.  (tractor engine was worn out and cost over $1000 just for parts to rebuild)  Been making hay and logging with it.    I figured I'd build a generator system eventually and try running the electric motor with it.  It might be a bit small for the tractor but I can work it slow when we get there,  or add a second motor in place of the gas engine coupled to the first one with the belt drive.  The generator/controller I'm working on is something based on 130 year old technology that was lost sight of in the age of big energy dollar figures.  Perfected by a modern electrical engineer but still virtually unheard of.  If I can get it to work it'll be something worth passing the plans around,  since it'll be very cheap to make.  Most of it from salvaged junk.

Hi grandma smith,  I just wanted to mention I have known high blood pressure to be caused by clogged kidneys,  might want to try an herbal kidney cleanse with hydrangea root in it, and a few other herbs usually.  Although I don't have high blood pressure I took some we made a couple years ago and my kidneys have worked much better ever since,  urine darker colored and odor stronger which indicates they're filtering out more than they used to.  And a bunch of tiredness and aches went away.
