Gossip: Honda RC213V's engine is a 90° L

If only more people believed, then the front end woes of the Duke could be banished. All it needs is some tubes and a water reservoir.



Something like this, perhaps?

Amaziing! Can't believe there are people here who actually know who Willhelm Reich was.

However you judge him - he was an interesting guy. When I was a kid (circa '62) I had a few school

teachers who were really into him and we re-created some of his experiments. One was

a "cloud buster". One time we forgot to disconnect it and did not come back for a few weeks to the site

where it was assembled. All the stone walls of the little summer cabins in the vicinity had

turned a weird black and the tops of trees for a quarter mile radius had turned black and died.



The fact the American Medical Association working with the authorities hounded the guy

(who never caused harm to any patient) and were responsible for his dying in prison

sure did feed those conspiracies.



I looked him up about 20 (fahhhk!) years ago while going through a Kate Bush phase. His son, Peter, wrote 'A Book of Dreams,' an appropriately 'unique' read! I think I lost it, or loaned it to someone who never brought it back.

And sometimes (about HALF the time!) the miniscule coriolis forces that so torture your farmyard dreams are kind enough to REVERSE themselves. Unless the pistons are somehow skipping the descending power and intake strokes, the net force inhibiting rotation of the chassis is essentially ZERO.

He was of that era where barrier between mysticism and science wasn't as solid as it is now. Not to mention that his open attitude to ... contrasted heavily with the social mores of the times. Definitely an interesting bloke, a nutbag, but that's not a bad thing.



I thought a Cloudbuster was just tubes and water (easily mounted on a Duke GP13) and was supposed to help nature...maybe there is some dark Orgone, because you weren't ....... enough?





[On the topic of schools and nutbag ideas, there's a Steiner school near me. Another Austrian nutjob from the late-19th Century , whose otherwise interesting and generally enlightened ideas are marred by wackiness - like suggesting bull horns channel cosmic energy.]



He'd been an associate of Freud who'd been disowned by the medical community for his radical ideas about ... etc.
