Mother Nature constracted >something that receives radiation well but is poor at emitting it< : trees, grass. Why "free energy" machines - rather "radiation energy" machines. In case of trees and grass - "sun radiation energy" machines. Human made things are ones, based on energy saving films, transparent to main sun radiation, while reflecting infrared. This films are often built in windows. This helps room to be more warm at winter times. Impressive experiment: get two windows, one with the film and other without. Place behind them powerful infrared source: 1kwt reflector lamp at low voltage with a red filter. Standing before ordinary window you feel lamp heat, before window with the film you feel no heat. The film at that is invisible. Mike. -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline? Don't AutoReply us! email listserv@mitvma.mit.edu with SET PICList DIGEST in the body
