Exploring the tradeoffs of visibility settings in HiveJournal's journaling platform.
The same two forces that govern every circuit in the 768-patent catalog govern every life: friction steals energy, resonance multiplies it. Here's why removing friction and finding resonance is the design principle for everything we're doing — from personal journaling to building The Hum.
In 1894, Tesla patented a coil wound with two parallel strands of wire. 130 years later, the same three patterns he described keep showing up across 768 energy device patents. Here's the direct line from US512340 to The Hum.
Tsunami researchers discovered that small, correctly-timed pulses build exponentially growing waves. The same principle — parametric resonance amplification — is the operating mechanism behind every energy device in the 768-patent catalog. Here's why a water tank and an LC circuit are the same experiment.
You don't need a lab. You need a ferrite toroid, some magnet wire, and a $30 NanoVNA clone. Here's how to run your first bifilar coil resonance characterization tonight.
Energy isn't just a utility. It's the foundation every other cost sits on top of. Change the energy, and the entire cost structure of human life shifts.
We analyzed 768 publicly available energy device patents and found the same three principles converging across all six technology categories. Here's what we found, why it matters, and how you can help us test it.
In 1998, your boss couldn't understand why anyone would write code for free. By 2026, open source runs 96% of the world's servers. We think energy research is about to make the same jump.
The patent system was designed to share knowledge. In practice, it concentrates it. If you build something that works, here's why publishing beats filing.
HiveJournal's Open Energy platform is live. Here's what we built and why.
