March 25, 2008 Added page with the remainder of the explanation of how solar power works: from the solar panels to the inverter (along with good explanation of AC vs DC electricity!).
March 17, 2008 Added measurements made of worm composting area, buried under 2 feet of snow!
March 11, 2008 Added a subsection on how to turn a piezo electric ignitor into an electrostatic generator.
February 28, 2008 Added pages detailing my outdoor to indoor airflow window solar air heater and my indoor to indoor airflow window solar air heater.
February 26, 2008 Added a page off of the testatika overview page containing videos of some of the testatika machines.
January 8, 2008 Added a page about using 2 sectors of a Wimshurst machine disk as capacitors for an RF LC resonant circuit along with a coil wrapped around a pulley.
January 7, 2008 Added a page containing an analysis of the grids and coils in the top left/right corners facing the front disk of the 3kW testatika machine.
December 21, 2007 Added a page about the second series of testatika magnet experiments, this time using my UHF POS400+ oscillator circuit.
December 4, 2007 Added a page about my working UHF oscillator circuit using the Mini-Circuits POS400+ chip. Also added a page about using a lecher line to measure frequency since I needed to do that to test the oscillator.
November 24, 2007 Added a page about the testatika Principle Experiment. It is linked to from the testatika overview page.
November 18, 2007 Added a new story that takes place ten years after the ice age hits Canada.
November 14, 2007 Added close-up photo of automatic control valve. Also added photos to the mainentance section of opened pipes and a shop vac.
October 29, 2007 New page all about solar domestic hot water. Also, added a new page all about heat.
October 8, 2007 New page all about solar pool heating.
September 16, 2007 Found a magnet that may be the same type used in the Linden Experiment.
August 8, 2007 New page decribing how the 3kW testatika could be a variable capacitor acting as a charge pump.
July 20, 2007 New page decribing recent experiments powering my testatika-like setup with a HV DC power supply and using two different pots to get DC output. Also, documented mark 4 testatika-like pots.
July 9, 2007 New page decribing use of a vinyl (i.e. easily chargable) disk for the back testatika disk.
July 7, 2007 New page decribing my new discs built based on my analysis of the 3kW testatika machine
June 24, 2007 Added a testatika page decribing the Linden Experiment. It is linked to from the testatika overview page. Note that I've also highlighted the similarity between it and the Roy Meyers device.
June 2, 2007 Added a dedicated page for worm composting summer temperature control and another for worm composting winter temperature control. Simplified the main temperature control page to suit.
February 20, 2007 New page with Testatika Clone from or by Jorge Resines added.
February 14, 2007 New page detailing a homemade mini can solar heater.
February 4, 2007 New sparking testatika pots tests but with the load wired in the same place as on the actual testatikas.
January 25, 2007 Added a new solar pumping topic to the renewable energy section.
January 16, 2007 Added a page to host Leon Tribe's lifter calculations.
December 18, 2006 More testatika pots testing this time with a spark gap for each pot and a Wimshurst machine driving it.
December 12, 2006 Added the new solar power topic to the renewable energy section, along with a layman's level explanation of how solar power works.
November 28, 2006 Added the new solar energy topic to the renewable energy section, a layman's level explanation of fusion in the sun, energy, and more...
Novemver 23, 2006 Added a new section on renewable energy with its first topic, solar air heaters! Also added another new section containing short stories.
November 2, 2006 Added insulation to the outdoor worm composting bin, both leaves and additional bedding, for winter.
