hey so I'm back

     So I've dived into the realm of awesome green technology, let the record hold i am a strong conservative but this stuff is cool and renewable and largely you can do it yourself. if any of you guys have instructables.com accounts my username is zaronas and you can find me there, then again my username is zaronas on most things so that's probably me if you see that username.
     tommorrow (because this is my post for the day) ill talk about my algae bio reactor and some of my plans for that. first i have to find my camera because cameras are cool(doctor who quote, that reminds me i should post about how awesome doctor who is). hey if i for some strange reason have some rich fan who has to much money and doesnt know what to do with it feel free to message me so i can give you details for my paypal account so you can give me donations so i can spend more time on here and can build more project and give you guys more awesome stuff, then again if you click on my ads then i can spend more time on here because then i will be earning more money, and if this becomes some sort of actual base of income then i could do some awesome stuff like get a better camera or my own, and my own laptop, and a better bio reactor, and some land to make my kiln on so i can get myself back into blacksmithing, ill have to tell you guys that story later but for now this is me saying click on the ads or give me money! and goodnight from mountain standard time!

My Novel


i am writing a book, a future auto biographical fiction novel. it is about how i took over the world and the long grueling process it took to get there.
http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/300268?chapter=1

this is the prologue:
some people are born with certain ideas, certain wiring in their brains. Some are wired with the idea that they need to do good for the world. Some people are like me, but not exactly. some have the desire to control, others have the capability, some have the natural talent, few know what to do with it. I was born with all of these. I have the talent, the desire, the capability. Few can recognize this in me, i tell them, they listen, they laugh, then they will be brought down into the depths of humility.

Begin dictating

so i just found this new program. it's the school program called tatzi. It is when I'm using to read this article right now.unfortunately it is not very good at recognizing my voice right now but is still a lot faster than typing. their command such as in delete last fragment, and commands such as spell but which allows you to spell out words that do not come out correctly when spoken or you do not know how to pronounce. It's really actually a great program the only problem i had with it so far is it does not understand the phrase delete last fragment which causes writing to be very annoying. because every time up but the program here something it's not supposed to i have to manually goal and backspace through the entire thing, up to but it still is a great program. Luckily for but up you who decided to read my blog that's all you have to do but to download the program from my personal database that is to comment on this post and i will give you the link to download it. As you can tell but i have not taken out some of the many colman homes that happened when using this program ip i live in and not so quiet house of the only thing going on in the background is my dad watching tv and that is causing all of the errors the buts and everything else.

Smithing smelting and learning

     Today i completed my first ever smelting with a little homemade foundry. it consisted of 10 1' x 2.5' x 1.5" gray blocks, a bent 2 centimeter diameter steel tube, the front off of a large dog carrier approximately 2' x 3.5', a lot of a dirt, charcoal, a iron/ steel can, 3 wire metal hangers, and a large air compressor. well obviously that is not real helpful to anyone looking to create their own foundry for aluminum, so i guess if you know you clicked on my ads and made me some money i could continue to write on here so you would get more consistent information.
     So what did i do to make my little foundry and melt my aluminum cans? first i took three of my nice large grey bricks and lade them out in a blockey u formation, =| like that so that the outside edges were flush. next came the dog grate, i just put that right on top of the blocks. then we take four more bricks and lay them on top of the grate on top of the bricks but on the skinny face. so that the foundry is taller.in a block formation |=|. the reason we didn't put a fourth block on the bottom row is so we can put our bent pipe in for air flow. now as mentioned previously we take the bent pipe and put it into the bottom where we left out the fourth bottom brick. now we take a lot of дирт, preferably wet dirt. when i say wet i don't mean sogging almost runny mud, just wet enough that it doesn't have lots  of porous holes for heat and air to escape out through. then we take this dirt and pack all the way around, make sure to get a lot of dirt around the bent iron tube, you can go as high up as you want but a minimum of four inches above the top of the bottom blocks for sure. you could even put dirt all the way over the top when your done. now we take the charcoal and put a 1 charcoal high layer down. then we take the iron can or other crucible and put the aluminum into it, then we put it inside the box we have made on the opposite side of the bent iron tubing. after that we need to put as much charcoal as we can around the can. now light the charcoal however you normally would, for me this was a little bit of trial and error but what i found worked was dumping tons of starter fluid on the charcoal. once the charcoal has gotten hot and red take the air compressor hose and put the nozzle end on it and put that end into the end of the iron tube. so that means:    air compressor>tube-------->nozzle>bent iron tube------>furnace>charcoal>iron can or other crucible. then let the air through at full power. at this point when you look at the coals there should be ones that are glowing red still and slowly getting brighter and spreading around the base of the can. if this isn't the case you need to make your charcoal hotter before letting the air loose. then take the remaining three bricks and make a roof for our little box. after a few minutes the metal you had in your crucible should be melted and you can do whatever you please with it.
     As i said earlier i really probably wont continue to write stuff unless i realize someone wants to read my stuff, and the way i know that is when my ads get clicked on cause then i make money and i remember to keep writing stuff. good luck with your smelting, tomorrow we will talk about smithing and my future plans for my smithing.
