I’ve always wanted to build a Tear Drop Trailer for camping. So when I saw a mini tear drop seed feeder on the web, I decided to make a similar seed feeder for the yard.
The one on the web was more of a thistle seed feeder and I wanted to use larger seed to attract White Crowns, Dark-eyed Juncos and Finches. I think that the Finches and Juncos will go inside to get the seed, but the White Crowns are too large.
I thought that I would completely open the two sides to hold the seed. I began with the side layout on scrap plywood. The finished feeder will be about 7″ x 5″ x 5″ in size.
I used a hand coping saw to make the curved cuts.
Here is the layout for the base, with trailer hitch included.
Once everything was cutout, I glued and screwed the two sides to the base.
I used heavy gauge paper to make a template prior to cutting the rolled aluminum, which I fitted to the cured side pieces. Once positioned, I began screwing it in place.
I lightly stained the plywood and added side details and silver paint on the frame.
I bought a toy truck for $3.00 and removed the wheels. I simply cut the truck axle in half, drilled a small hole in the wooden frame and pushed each wheel into position.
Here is the trailer with seed inside. I put a piece of aluminum foil inside the trailer and tossed in a handful of seed. I also put some on the ground to entice my first avian visitors.
It won’t be long and all that seed will be gone. Those snowbirds will be Happy Campers!
In my post AlphaWAVE Relaxation / Performance Improvement Disk, I discussed the benefits of producing alpha brainwaves. I primarily focused on relaxation and performance improvement from continued use of the disk.
However, there are many other benefits: Reducing Heart rate and Blood pressure; Improving mood; Stress reduction; Treating depression; Pain control; Sleep and dream improvement; Libido treatment; and Anxiety control.
With so much to gain in one’s health from alpha brainwave production, and knowing that people want immediate and impressive results, I decided to see if there was a quicker method than using the disk to attain the alpha state.
After experimentation, I developed a pair of Alpha Brainwave Generation Glasses. These glasses flood the retina with violet light at a specific optical frequency, and cause the two brain hemispheres to rapidly synchronize in alpha. I call them Alpha Gen Glasses.
Note: Exposure to the lower end of the visual spectrum can accelerate cataract development. I checked with several optometrists who indicated short-term indoor use was not detrimental to the user.
Here is the first pair that I made.
The glasses utilize optical filtration. The user wears these indoors only for about 5 minutes, then sits back, closes their eyes, and sees a beautiful violet light. After about 3 to 5 minutes, the effect begins. A warming in the upper legs moving to the base of the spine, to the chest, and into the brain. Synchronization of the brain’s hemispheres is attained. Amazing bodyrelaxation and “orgasmic” pleasure is felt!
Here is the setup that I used to measure my brainwaves. It uses a dry electrode and an accompanying software application, which I ran on my iTouch.
I thought that these glasses would be an excellent tool for use by a clinical psychologist in treating patients with PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I can also see them being used in all kinds of traumatic situations, reducing anxiety / pain and the need for meds or additional meds:
Dental Procedures
Hospital Emergency Rooms
Fire / Rescue Emergencies
Police Interventions
Sports Injuries (Professional, College, High School)
Psychiatric Interventions
Therapy Sessions
Trauma At Home
Additionally, they could be used for ‘recreational pleasure. Nothing wrong with putting a pair of these glasses on and feeling intense pleasure. No partner or drugs involved. Just a pair of amazing glasses! Like the ‘Orb’ in the movie Sleeper.
I tried to generate some interest with the US Navy. At least they sent me a nice letter in return.
I also did a study for SPY Optical, which includes optical measurement data (if someone wants to develop these further). If you have interest, please use the Contact form on the blog’s menu bar to email me.
After determining the filter to use, here is how I made the glasses. This is a new pair that I just finished.
I chose a pair of sunglasses that did not have much lens curvature and provided some side screening as well.
I marked the center of my two pupils while staring straight ahead. You need a friend to help you with this step.
I used a Dremel tool to drill out the centers to nearly the size of the filters.
Next I painted the front of the glasses. I only want the light to pass through the optical filters. It’s the only color I had – black is best.
I secured the filters in place with silicon. These are the completed glasses. They work very fast and very well. I use them often.
I am very hopeful that one day these glasses will help thousands of people around the world.
I believe that your EYES are the window to your soul and consciousness!
