As the year 2009 comes to an end, I find myself looking at what I have done in this year.
I decided to make a new web page called Inside the Mind of OTP.
I hope to document some of my thinking processes, so that people can get to know why I do the things I do.
We need people who care and freely teach our people. This will help us all grow as a country and a world.
For me it started with getting a rusty old motorcyle to run under electric power.
I also made solar panels and many teaching tools to show people what can be done.
I freely give this information on my website to anyone who can use it to help others.
I also give some of my time to talk and try to inspire people. One of my saying is I help people from age of 6 to 96.
I did this with very little income and help.
The key thing is I made the motorcycle work and this started me working for our people.
I started working with people in gangs and also with any organizations that would let me talk and show my teaching tools.
I been in the news and on many webs sites for the work I am trying to do, but I hope to get many people to do what I am doing.
If I leave something on this earth after I am gone, it is that I am showing that we can make things work and solve problems.
We just have to have hope and put our minds to it.
I will add to this web page as I feel the need to post my thoughts.
May we all have a better 2010.

I was thinking out side the box on parallel hybrid power.
Parallel hybrid power is using two different power sources together to produce mechincal work
I feel that parallel hybrid power should run on 100 percent electric power.
Electric power motors are one of the most efficient power sources.
Electric motors are far more efficient than a gas engine and much cleaner on our environment.
Gas engine on a parallel hybrid should only be use to assist the electric motor for going up hills, charging a battery, or carrying a large load.
Solar panels and or wind power can be used in this hybrid system to recharge the batteries when one is at work or at home.
We must reduce our total pollution on the earth.
We will go into extinction if we don't change or ways of living on this earth. This is a hard fact.
The main key is to slow down and not load the electric motor down.
My thinking on parallel hybrid power is if we slowly pick up speed we will save energy.
It takes more power or energy to move at a fast speed or rate.
Moving very fast quickly uses a lot of energy fast.
In most cities we have a max speed of 40 mile per hours or less.
We don't need to go from zero to sixty in five seconds I feel ten seconds or more is fast enough.
We want to keep our electric motor working with the minmum amount of current.
The electronic transmission keeps the electric motor working at its highest efficiency.
I know this system is not perfect, but it is a start.
If it sparks the mind of one person it is worth writing.
If you want to know, one of my favorites inventers was a so called self educated guy by the name John Harrison.
John Harrison made a clock in the early 1700's that changed the world and most people don't know who he was.
The big key is we need to start thinking like the inventors of the pass.

OTP On Electric Batteries for Electric Conversions

The lead acid battery is the best at this time for a electric comversion.
The main reason for this is that you can replace them almost anywhere.
Nickle Metal Hydride battery have a long history, but the cost and availabity of getting them is the reason I don't reccomend them.
The Lithium Ion battery is one of the best batteries for use in an electric conversion.
Until the cost comes down on Lithium Ion batteries, I don't feel at this time they would make a good choice for a electric replacement.
If I where to build a electric conversion now I would use lead acid batteries and upgrade as the better batteries price drops and their availibility changes.
I was on a web site and read many posts on why the lead acid was a poor choice for an electric conversion.
My answer is if your batteries need to be replaced, how long will it take to get more batteries.
You can get lead acid batteries almost anywhere. These are my thoughts on batteries for electric conversions.

My thoughts on saving energy in commuter transportation.
One of our faults is that we are driving cars with way too much power.
We can make a car with 30hp that can carry four people to 60 plus mph and get 80 plus mpg.
Why are we still making two tons of metal to take one person to work? Take a look at a Model T, it worked and it did not have a 200 hp motor.

Mentoring the Creative Mind
These are my thoughts on keeping our young minds creative.
I feel we need to expose our creative young minds to more science and technology.
The real work starts when you can keep the young mind focused on science and technology.
You take a young person and expose them to something new and exciting, then that situation may spark their curiosity and their creativity.
Young minds need constant new information to continue to grow, then the cycle of mental growth can begin and may be passed on to the next generation.
A mentor must have a strong love for what they teach and an ability to teach.
Look what it has done for sports. So many generations pass the love of sports to the next generation.
The same can be done for science and technology.
The key is many so called third world countries are pushing science and technology.
The question is who will become the new third world country.

Education is the acquisition of information.
Knowledge is the untilization of education.

What makes a creative thinker?
I find my self asking the same question that many people ask me.
People sometimes ask me what makes you think the way you do.
I feel that I have the same curiosity of a young child.
I look at young children playing, their minds are like a clear sky that they can see for miles and miles.
As the child grows up their societies or families put many restriction on how that child thinks.
How many times you hear someone telling a child stop asking me questions, stop playing or stop looking at that.
You will not amount to anything or you are asking stupid questions.
One of the most damaging things to say to anyone is you are stupid or dumb.
After a time the child or adult mind is no longer like a clear sky, but turns into a smoggy dark sky and they can not see their hands in front of their faces.
I find myself very lucky to still have a child like curiosity. This I feel make for a creative thinker.
If we want more creative thinkers we can learn a thing or two from our very young people about creativity.
Keep promoting our creative thinkers.

Why is it called the Golden Age?
Almost all people will collect gold and consider it to very precious.
I want us to think about the gold we are throwing away and not using.
You may ask what Mr. Parker is talking about this idea of throwing gold away.
Please let me explain. I am talking about senior citizens.
We have many older people who have wisdom and knowledge that can create and solve many problems.
More opportunities must be given to them.
Many people think that the old can not do the work any more and that it is only a young person’s world.
Many years ago many cultures respected the knowledge of the old and now this is changing.
Remember that so called golden age people have an abundance of life experience and expertise that no book or computer can ever teach you.
We need to learn to respect our golden age people.

My Thoughts on Problems Solving
The way I find myself going about problem solving is to first look at the problem.
The hardest thing about looking at a problem is that most of the time we don’t see or understand them.
The first thing I do is to clear my mind, I then think about my problem and a find a simple way to solve that problem.
I find my self looking at how nature works, Watch how nature generally solve problems.
There is very simple and efficient ways nature uses evolution to go about solving problems.
One of the most important words that stick in my mind is the saying that engineers use and that is keep it simple stupid or K.I.S.S.
I find this is a very effective problem solving method for me.
