KEMETIC CALENDAR

*** NEW! A PERPETUAL KEMETIC [EGYPTIAN] SOLAR-LUNAR CALENDAR.  This is a demonstration of how we can use the Ancient Egyptian Senet Tarot Archetypes of the Neters and their Amulets to create a Perpetual Kemetic (Egyptian) Solar Lunar Calendar for the Planet.  This is a fun way to learn about Ancient Egypt on a daily hands-on basis.  It is also worthy of study for all who practice Kemetic Traditions (the culture of Ancient Egypt) as a part of their lifestyle.   Also included: the 24 Chinese lunar calendar semi-monthly solar terms [jie-qi].

*** Kemetic Calendar for the lunar month of Khenty-khardy (The Leader as a Child) May 05 - June 03, 2008.

*** Kemetic Calendar for the lunar month of Apet Hemet (Epiphany, The Lady of the Harem) June 04 - July 02, 2008.

*** The Samadhi Effect and the Dhumo Effect: A Theoretical Explanation and a Potential Application.   At the JLN Labs site you can read an interesting article by Nicholas Moller about Irving Langmuir's research that led to his invention of the atomic hydrogen torch.  You can also see detailed documentation of J.L. Naudin's experiments testing prototypes of the Moller Atomic Hydrogen Generator (MAHG) that apparently can produce up to 15 times more output power than the input power using hydrogen as a catalyst.  In my article I present one possible theory to explain how the extra energy gets pulled into the system from quantum requirements inherent in the hydrogen electron orbits.   *** MAHG experiments.
