TPW - Two-way Pop-up Wind Generators for Airport Power Systems. It's A Duck.

A large aircraft moving down a runway moves quite a bit of air. This airflow moves beyond the width of the runway and can be used to power up tiny wind turbine arrays, which would flip direction after the aircraft hits V-2 and starts to fly, at which time the wing tip vortices are at their strongest point. As these wing tip vortices blow back down the runway they will also give significant airflow back.

These airflows exist on all aircraft and those with swept wings and very heavy are the most of all. In turn these generators will reveal the danger by way of remote sensors back to the tower to advise the air traffic control tower when it is most safe to allow for the next takeoff. Other than the differential in speed a private biz jet puts out little in the way of wake turbulence and therefore a large DC-10 or Airbus 300, Boeing 747 are not really at risk. And the sensors will give confirmation of such while they collect the data and the energy. Here is some additional information on the sensors and this can easily help us to determine where best to put the wind generator arrays.

These generators could work in reverse for aircraft landing. So they would be collecting free wind energy at all times. Wind energy is good. Just ask Zephyrus, God of the West Wind. Never deny the power of the wind.

Just a thought on innovative ways to use wind energy, it seems that if we are going to create it, we may as well get that energy back when and use it for some positive aspect of our lives rather than wasting it.

In the stock market if there are more buyers than sellers, more stocks are going up than down and the trend of the general market is higher it must be a bull.

Not a duck, not a squirrel, not a possum and especially not a bear. And everyone likes bulls better than bears in the stock market.

The mix of news that feeds this bull is indeed strange as is the economic background. Each day there is a report of "better than expected" earnings, employment, confidence, something. The general background tone is quite negative with huge looming long term deficits yet the market keeps chugging away higher and higher. I like that.

The talking heads on CNBC-TV have been jawboning a bull market all the way down from NASDAQ 5000 and now they have turned cautious. Yes, some of them are now cheerleaders for the new bull (if it is a bull and not a duck). One of them said the market is undervalued. At 33 times earnings? The mean P/E ratio (Price Earnings) since 1800 has been about 14 or 15, but "this time it is different". Really?

There may not be any logic in the market going higher, but I don't need logic when it is going up; I just get on board for a profitable ride. My regular readers know I believe in the trend and right now the trend is up. Don't ask me when the trend will end. I don't know, but I will be watching what Mr. Market is telling me and act accordingly. As long as it has four legs, horns and moos like a cow I will stay with it. When the tune changes - goodbye.

The basic question remains. How do you know when the trend changes? Don't ask your broker as he doesn't know; however, there is a very simple and accurate method that many people have used and I also use to know the general direction of the market. If you have a computer or you can use the one at the library you can go to www.bigcharts.com and type in the symbol for the S&P500 Index. It is SP500. You can then put in the value for the number of days you wish for the moving average which in this case is 200. Click and you're done. This is an excellent way to find the trend of the market. When the price of the S&P Index is above the 200-day line you are a buyer and when it falls below you sell out and put your money in cash. Very simple.

Right now there is a loud mooing sound. When you hear the growl you will want to run for cover.

Al Thomas' book, "If It Doesn't Go Up, Don't Buy It!" has helped thousands of people make money and keep their profits with his simple 2-step method. Read the first chapter at http://www.mutualfundmagic.com and discover why he's the man that Wall Street does not want you to know.
