Let there be light..........
As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter......
The following is something which TL and I have been working on in the past and it involves producing a self regenerative light source based on fireflies.
It is a simple thing, that oxygen is in the air to start the process of uniting the necessary components, to produce light, and as the below quote reveals, it is possible in a small grub to produce light to read a book by.
There is not a need for these Al Gore curly poison bulbs. Nature has the resource there, and for those who have not bridged this link, with a firefly light, there comes LIGHT which in turn would power?????? Yes solar cells which would create electricity to power entire energy grids.
It could all be self contained and it could be built if the same national plan was put into place like the Kennedy Moon Landing.
As has been this blog's vision in collecting lightning discharge to the creation of a self circulating gravity hydro electic reservior, America could be energy free on a completely new grid.
Amazing how Martin Luther had benefactors. Thomas Edison had benefactors, but for some reason the people with money can not find a way to donate to release me from the prison of debt and put them at liberty.
"There are many varieties of luminous insects in Ceylon. That which affords the greatest volume of light is a large white grub about two inches in length, This is a fat, sluggish animal, whose light is far more brilliant than could be supposed to emanate from such a form.
The light of a common fire-fly will enable a person to distinguish the hour on a dial in a dark night, but the glow from the grub described will render the smallest print so legible that a page may be read with case. I once tried the experiment of killing the grub, but the light was not extinguished with life, and by opening the tail, I squeezed out a quantity of glutinous fluid, which was so highly phosphorescent that it brilliantly illumined the page of a book which I had been reading by its light for a trial.
All phosphorescent substances require friction to produce their full volume of light; this is exemplified at sea during a calm tropical night, when the ocean sleeps in utter darkness and quietude and not a ripple disturbs the broad surface of the water. Then the prow of the advancing steamer cuts through the dreary waste of darkness and awakens into fiery life the spray which dashes from her sides.
A broad stream of light illumines the sea in her wake, and she appears to plough up fire in her rush through the darkened water. The simple friction of the moving mass agitates the millions of luminous animalcules contained in the water; in the same manner a fish darting through the sea is distinctly seen by the fiery course which is created by his own velocity.
All luminous insects are provided with a certain amount of phosphorescent fluid, which can be set in action at pleasure by the agitation of a number of nerves and muscles situated in the region of the fluid and especially adapted to that purpose. It is a common belief that the light of the glow-worm is used as a lamp of love to assist in nocturnal meetings, but there can be little doubt that the insect makes use of its natural brilliancy without any specific intention. It is as natural for the fire-fly to glitter by night as for the colored butterfly to be gaudy by day."

Let there be light........let there be free generated energy.
