    Is there another energy out there not being acknowledged?

    I have a building that I am using as a test laboratory. It's a chiller that lost one of the
    two 40 hp compressors and the owners will not replace it way before my time.
    (note they did last year lol)
    But that's another story.

    So I work with what I had. I babysat that building through everything, for years.
    Load shedding when it need it, Playing with variables year after year.
    It has a constant internal load due to being maxed out in seating capacity all the time.
    Same cooks, servants, number of customers, equipment and efficiencies

    So I have plowed through 95 degree days with high humidity.
    One time we had a hurricane come up the coast and sit right off the coast
    stalling for a couple of days. Really a tropical storm with 50 mph gusts raging.
    I lost the ability to control the building and it was
    only in the 80's. I checked everything and it was the normal
    load other than the massive beast of a storm. Never had that happen
    again for yrs after that. All went back to it's normal personality and predictability.

    To this day I wonder what was in that storm so powerful and so undetected?
    Was it simply the gusts of wind driving the moisture in? Maybe.
    But I know that envelope and we were pressurizing it with make
    up air as we usually do. Don't see it.
    Well it's up to you to keep your eyes open for odd things in nature
    so we can have the future ideas spurn off of new levels of awareness.
    I pass the torch to you. Good luck with it all.
    I know your not all going to be scientists. Or even have the ability to deviate
    even one little bit off the path. But some of you will be able too.
    Or will be analyzing the field data or become actual scientists in R&D employment.
    Keep your eyes open and be aware. I bid you fair well.
