Magnets & the Promise of Levitating Trains
We have understood how to do this for a long time. It has just never been cheap and ultimately demands a metal rich single track that has to use a massive amount of metal. Usually steel but could be anything cheap and able to be magnitized. The train has to contain all the exotic goodies and all this in order to evade friction. There is a wonderful alternative that I could build today that does exactly the same thing. We need to lay down a smooth flat surface between the present rail build out. Marine plywood comes to mind. Then we set the weight down on air pads, the sa... read more

That could jump start the earth worm cycle as well. after that natives could well dominate. It also says nothing about haying potential as well. That should be okay as well. most legumes lack hte roburtness to produce much volume. This may be different. now mix it with ordinary hay blends. *W... read more
Do depressions in Canadian prairies hold the key to groundwater recharge?
These are all called sloughs on the prairies and they mostly do not dry out. That is likely because of the high clay content. Back roads get covered with this clay after a rain. Those sloughs prevent easy drainage and then must sustain a high water table as well. It does get drier as you go south, but the northern band is full of sloughs. It all keeps the land from dring out and blowing away as did happen in the dust bowl. *Do depressions in Canadian prairies hold the key to groundwater recharge?* *Model shows climate change may impact environment by decreasing r... read more
