BTW I came up with two ideas for mechanical inventions and one of them I took to that asshole Byron Knelson who stole the rotary centrifugal gold concentrator from the Russians. Natch Knelson turned me down as all he wanted to do was look at the design. He could not interpret it so he did not make it, thank god. No one has yet made a good centrifugal grinder due to the problem with oil going to all one side of the main bearing and the thing rattling apart from hi g forces. The same thing defeated Hiller from making a turbine at blade end helicopter for the US army in the 60's. I figured out a way around that but I could not get the prototype built. Patents are useless because you have to get it searched in 5 countries and defend it so that runs to 100K right away before you even prove it works.

The other idea I actually got prototyped and I call it the black racer. Basically I added a biased twerblediddle to an undercurrent rocker and lo! the gold ALL reported to one spot. You could not predict this by quantum physics. You know how hard gold is to get from black sand? Well I looked in the bed of this machine after operating for one hour on a fine gold claim, and the bed was ALL gold. No pyrite and no black sand. And NO gold anywhere else! No removal of any product or cleaning necessary! It all fell in one place. Zip. And no particle of gold was larger than say 100 microns! I could not explain this to save my life. It has something to do with beds and something to do with suction and angles, materials, etc.. but is black magic, as I have never seen a gravity device ever get such fine, fine gold completely separated and exclusively. I showed the effect to a prospector who had worked gold for 30 years, and his eyes popped out of his head. He told me to never ever show the device to anyone. I had built the thing almost by accident trying this and that and not thinking it would necesarily work or do anything at all. As a matter of fact, I do not know why I added the main feature that allowed it to concentrate the gold. I never thought about it at all. Just put it in carefully and completely without thinking about its effect, as if I was on autopilot. Yet the feature took a lot labour and special devices. It makes things like the Garret Gravity trap, and gold wheels look like kid's toys. Funny thing is, I have never thought much of the thing, and never tried to duplicate use or sell it in the past 15 years! Go figure.
