Is Dec 21 2012 really the date for the End of the World? Why are so many stating that the end is nigh? What evidence is at hand to satisfy these claims that Dec 21 2012 really is the beginning of the end or perhaps the end of the beginning. Will the World really end?

On the subject of alternative energy, acoustic levitation has to be a viable candidate for the accolade of most amazing alternative technologies.
The video in question was filmed by Dr David Deak back in 1987. David was a former NASA employee. (Boo and hiss I hear you cry out)
The purpose of the apparatus; to perform an experiment for ‘simulated’ microgravity conditions on Earth.
That being said, the applications for such a device go way beyond trying to understand micro-gravitational environments. The current maximum amount that can be lifted by acoustic levitation is a few kilograms – link. Read more…

Building a parabolic solar oven really isn’t as difficult as it may seem, once the basics are first understood.
