confessions of a chainsaw carver
by kevscarvings.
well the christmas rush really wasnt a rush for me. just dont have that many people in my life that close to me of whom i buy presents for . help people all year around , but it certainly seems more evident that people need their christmas so much they will pepper spray the first x-box snatching bitch or bastard who comes close to her snotty little xbox grabbing kids. if anything life here on the farm is a lot more low tech. we kinda like it that way. besides if i want santa to come i just head down to garage grab , a hunk of wood , mount it on table , grab a chainsaw, and start cutting away.
after a couple hours and occasionally bitching and moments of shear disgust , a crooked smile begins at one side of my face to the other as the carving emerges. is it how i envisioned it ? sometimes it is . is it close ? by and far it would come closer than anything. and that is to be expected . mistakes are always a chance. i try to limit to 2 or 3 , but understandably have suffered plenty more than that and still come out close. imagination is having eyes and seeing with your eyes closed , as if it what ever you had imagined is in front of your eyes.
a carving goes quick ,and once you become familiar with a chainsaw can and is used as a tool to create fine art objects out wood. i am a sculptor, carver , artist , cartoonist ,wannabe famous, literally jack of all trades , master of none. worked a variety of jobs in my lifetime , rode a garbage truck a couple of days in my life. cooked garbage in a mental institution, and have had the opportunity to do a variety of work in my lifetime.was born and raised by a herd of mad cows , my mom and my sisters, never was quite right after that experience.
anyhow back to the subject at hand ,
well it is time to talk about the windmill house as i have some new technology that i would like to share with you. it will include rainwater collection systems and a series of ponds down over hillside below house a distanceof 150 feet vertical at least i would say. i was reading about this system called an rmo where by waste water flowing is used as a means of pumping water to reservoir or faucet. this is when it is used in conjunction w/ a fresh water source you are filtering with reverse osmosis system to remove pollutants and avoid smells associaterd w/ fresh drinking water.
the rmo (reverse motor orientation?) acts like a turbocharger as it takes advantage of waste water stream from a five stage fresh water system . full pressure waste water is ejected as part of screen cleaning process. it removes contaminants and acts like a turbo charger , on other side picking up clean water and transporting under pressure to tap or storage unit. this idea combined w/ rainwater collection and storage systems would allow you to reclaim power from rainwater when used as system to collect or harness energy for generator or electrical production , to irrigate crops ramping up yields . reducing off site erosion .
ohio is blesssed with 40 inches plus of rainfall each year. , my idea is to pump all runoff into pond at top of hill and when needing electric or water , gates are opened and water is directed to area in need. whether it is to penstock of a generator, house hold uses , or agricultural purposes. maintaining control of rainwater and managing its use would lead to more beneficial use of land. eliminating the need or reducing the need for fuel or nuclear or coal fired generators and reducing the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
so when you combine rmo's with solar energy and wind power, you assure a more constant supply of electricity. the collection of rainfall can be likened as the pull or push needed to achieve perpetual motion.where by you get as much energy out as you are putting in. in reality there is no perpetual motion as friction and other factors tend to erase any mechanical advantage you might generate.a rainwater collection system used in conjunction with natural elevation differences and taking into account any engineering modifications one might use to increase head pressure. one could possibly contour the terrain of property and divert to water holding reservoirs at convenient elevations . this is also taken into account the unification of the system to allow it to work in unison or separately to perform the task at hand.due to the fact that rmo's require no electricity to operate would allow their use in remote areas. and as you build these rainwater collection systems , and keeping in mind not only energy production but also maintain livestock and ultimately supplying yourself w/ all your nutritional` needs.
