Polska wersja For-profit psychiatry My predictions from previous post realized the same day it was published and I was locked in psychiatric “hospital” for almost 5 months (I was released on February 10, 2023). Polish government spend 54 005 PLN (about 11 173 PLN per month, while minimum wage during that time was 3 490 PLN) to keep me unproductive and isolated from society. This quite substantial amount of money was obviously not spend on providing good conditions for the patients, as there was no access to washing machines, amount of food provided was much bellow my caloric requirements (but frankly, I personalty had access to fresh clothes and additional food provided by family, others were less fortunate). I was sleeping witch 5 other men in a room that had no tables and chairs and not enough cabinets for everyone. Strict policy of the “hospital” meant that you weren’t allowed to wear a belt or freely charge electronic devices (which were allowed, but just the small ones that allow...

  Initial concept for a vehicle that is supposed to use negative emission ammonia engine (detailed description will be published at a later date, mention of it can be found at the bottom of this post ). “Rider” sits just like driver of a car, while "pillion" is tucked bellow and slightly rearwards of the “rider”. Drive of rear wheel is parallel clutchless hybrid system ( lithium-ion capacitors act as energy storage), while front wheel has a electric motor/generator attached to it that acts as series hybrid system  (motor/generator is there mostly to achieve regenerative braking, but some power can be send to it, making this vehicle a 2WD motorcycle ). Main power producing part of the engine, along with an electric motor/generator (connected to the ICE “directly” via single-speed internally geared transmission) and gearbox (car-type 6-speed automated  “manual” with simplest possible cone synchromesh , “two-stroke” engine is used, so no reverse gear is required) are l...

  To convert solar energy into electricity that will be later used to produce ammonia ( electrolyzing water and Haber–Bosch process ) I propose that photovoltaic thermal hybrid solar collectors (PVT) with compound parabolic concentrators (CPC) mounted on dual axis trackers should be used. cpc_c.ods is my attempt to describe basic parameters of CPC with high-school math (to achieve best results ray-tracing and realistic models of irradiance at various conditions should actually be used).

Folder “new_house” contains drawings of the thin-walled reinforced concrete structure designed to to house a family of humans. Interior structure is surrounded by a thin shell. In between those a thick layer of thermal insulation (mineral or glass wool most likely). Some insulation is placed in-between interior concrete structure and the ground. Most of the surfaces of this structures are hyperboloids of one sheet . To maximize usage of interior space, shelves and desks specially designed to be placed next to the curved walls should be installed. Proposed windows are rather small, extremely thick and hard to open (actually to be removed), so light tubes could be used to make rooms brighter. Because windows are always closed, decent HVAC system is required. 

This is initial proposal for a crewed lunar program. It is to be based on a large, partially reusable rocket, that is relatively simple to manufacture, placing lightweight two-person spacecraft (lander) in low lunar orbit (LLO). Spacecraft consists of one engine and only single pressurized crew compartment (but cosmonauts have individual pods with life-support that would keep them alive even after depressurization event ). Propellant tanks needed to leave LLO, along with heat shield are stored in orbit while spacecraft lands on the lunar surface. Tanks needed for initial phase of descent are discarded before touchdown.   Launch vehicle

This is combination of my initial Stirling refrigerator concept with Vuilleumier refrigerator . This design consists of two sections: hot one (power input) and a cold one (sucks heat out of the cooled object). Each section is is basically a closed-loop pipe, in which working gas is in constant motion (fan moves the gas). Each section has a set of two heat exchangers (each gas molecule can pass many times through exchanger during almost isothermal process), and a few regenerators that allow for heat to be stored during transitions between isotherms. Pipes can change length, thanks to movable barrier between them, so volume of the each section can change. Total volume stays constant, and pressure in both sections is always the same. 

    Application could be developed that allows user to read e-books on a display that presents different images to the left and right eye ( dichoptic presentation ). Some of the words or letters would be missing in the image presented to the one of the eyes, forcing the brain of a person that cannot correctly process input from one of the eyes to combine visual information from both eyes ( dichoptic training ).
