Actually its a design of an submersible electric generator. Its called an Archimedes Wave Swing.Originally posted by DickHardman View Post
Its consists of two cylinders; one cylinder filled with a gas (perhaps air or a lighter gas) that is bouyant and connected to a base cylinder. As waves move across the ocean, they cause the bouyant cylinder to move up and down.
The up and down movement in turn cranks an electric generator.
Its a real technology, Hardman. Do a google on the Archmedes Wave Swing.

If you prefer warm-cozy chick flicks then 28 weeks later is not the film for you.
The movie starts out with a new handfull of survivors from the rage virus (from the original film) who have found safety in a wooden country home. The survivors come across a child, whom enters the scene banging on the door looking for shelter. Once they get his story and gets settled all hell breaks loose as an infected person manages a break-in in a scene of desperation, gore, animalistic instincts and adrenaline-assisted survival. One of the urgent survivors demonstrates why running really, really fast is probably one of the best methods of self-preservation and how chaos and survival at an animalistic level can get hairy.
At this point, the rage infection is only local to the UK. The U.S. Army begins occupying the U.K in an attempt to quarantine heavily infected areas - you get a glimpse of a large-scale Nuclearn/Biological/Chemical operation in London. In addition, the city is guarded with check points armed with heavy machine guns, helicopters in the skies and Special Forces Sniper-types surveying from the roofs.
Survivors from the U.K are resettled and as always, human instincts and mother nature lead is to Murhpy's Laws: that which can go wrong, does go wrong.
The movie is about man's attempt to understand and control the chaos of mother nature, while struggling to control human nature.
I thought it was a good film (but not a great film), especially for those who love sci-fi, horror or apocalyptic movies.
The movie is rated-R, which means that children under 17 can watch with parental supervision but if I had any children under 17 I wouldn't take them to see this film. There are some of good themes in the movie too: the writers did justice to the self-sacrifice of military men and paid attention to the importance of family bonds and family dynamics.
Not for the faint of heart.Last edited by Tom Yum; 05-12-2007, 04:46 PM.Comment

Drug use among insurgents has been reported by coalition forces in Iraq.[18] Insurgents are using amphetamines, methamphetamines, adrenaline shots, and other unknown drugs to boost stamina and (though shortly) prolong their life if mortally wounded so they can continue fighting. One soldier is quoted as saying "It was like Night of the Living Dead, guys who were supposed to be dead were still alive."
There have also been reports of insurgents being killed and found with various street drugs found on them such as heroin which are being sold to finance the insurgent's activities.
