In the past I bought a thing called a useless box; it was a box with a mechanical finger that comes out and turns itself off when it is turned on. It eventually broke and became useless at being useless. That is the only double negative I know of that stays negative.
In my little world there is a place for my broken useless box. It is called Lemon Valley, a place inside my head that I keep machines that don't work. I create machines inside my head then think that they don't work then leave them in Lemon Valley and look at them again to see if they can be modified to work.
One example is a machine that is supposed to take heat from the air and generate electricity. It works by taking a fluid that has all the oxygen removed from it and iron dissolved in it. The fluid is poured it into a tube lined with magnets. The falling fluid drags the magnetic fields around in a swirling path into copper coils underneath. The fluid itself becomes cooler because the magnetic field restricts the particles movement in the fluid. The cooled fluid creates negative air pressure in the outer pipe and that causes air to rush in, which pushes a turbine that pumps the fluid back up again. The problem is that the energy from the air flowing in would be less than then energy to pump the fluid back up to the top again. To cut a long story short, I am certain it wouldn't work.
The process of trying to make machines inside my head takes the fire of stress out of my belly because it displaces the bad thoughts. When I was waiting for my son to be born I was very afraid and felt helpless but this process helped me to get through it. That is why I am sharing it with you. This whole blog is a gift from me to humanity because that is my reason for living, it is to give with love to all without expecting anything in return.
