Oh! yes- The Artists (spelled with a capital "F") are still drawing 'em BUT "Quote" Thus, in 1908, The Wright Brothers wrote the British Admiralty informing them that successful experiments had been performed with airplanes and inquiring whether the British Admiralty would be interested in this new potential weapon of war. Here, verbatim, the reply they received from the First Lord, barely six years before German aircraft were bombing London: "With reference to your communication concerning the use of aeroplanes, I have consulted my technical advisers and regret to inform you that the Admiralty are of the opinion that they cannot be of any value for naval purposes." NOTE: The simplicity of this motor is astounding. Fresh Air is drawn thru fine pulverized uranium passing into a chamber where it is hit squarely in the nucleus, by a slow Neutron fired from the cyclotron (atom smashing machine). The Uranium Nucleus then breaks into fragments which are hurled literally into a cosmic expanse of space. The explosion simultaneously of billions of these nucleii produces energy far beyond the dreams of man in the past.
