To be prepared for the Troubled Times - we need low tech devices that can be up as long as they are workable, buildable and/or obtainable. We will need lots of reliable power to grow plants indoors for food. This could be from many sources, water, wind, bio-gas, geothermal, nuclear, and/or whatever anyone else comes up with.

I want to make you aware of an inventor I know who has some very good products that should be listed on Troubled Times. His name is Billy Dean and his company is called

I will try to name some of his products from memory. He has Gell Cell batteries at a good
price - but a limited supply. I bought some and have been testing them for my applications.
Recently he developed (at the request of myself and others) a 12 Volt pump capable of being
lowered into a deep well without removing the pump that is there - or beside it - and pumping
water out. I think it pumps something like 3 gpm or so, so you can fill a larger tank and use a
12 Volt RV pump for pressurized water to your house from the larger supply tank maybe in
your basement.
He has a large model airplane motor coupled to a PM generator with a gear and it is all
sitting on a Gell Cell battery. Push button starting and it fits in a pocket or campers backpack,
can you believe it? I think this is the item popular with people climbing Everest. It runs on
alcohol and caster oil. It can charge batteries in minutes, say 10 minutes. A good thing about
Gel Cells is they handle quick charges at high amps well, compared to more common
batteries.
He has AC-DC LP gas refrigrators, small types. He has units that attach to a lawn mower to convert it to a generator to charge 12 Volt batteries. He has a similiar unit to convert a gas weed wacker to a generator, also. He has a hand cranked generator which you can clamp to a table or chair, etc. and crank out12 volts for power or to charge batteries. He has a system of adapters to convert your existing house wiring to 12 volts usage fiber-optic lighting for underground shelters. He has water filters, wind generators, water generators, invertors too.
