Imagine a world where major floods never occur again. The rain comes down, but water never fills the streets. No property is damaged, and no lives are lost. Can this really exist? Yes, we can have this type of Flood Management. What we need is not just more of the same designs, but something completely new. We require a design which is completely different, a comprehensive system which will truly manage the flood waters (and so much more). The system described in this book is such a design. Using this Advanced Flood Control System: - Streets will never fill with water more than a few inches. - Water will be drained as soon as it falls to the ground. - There will be no stoppage or back-flow in drainage. - Containment Units will be sized appropriately. - River over-flow will rarely be a problem. - Flood management will be much more effective. In addition, this Advanced Flood Control System provides many other solutions which few other systems offer.

The remaining pages are filled with full-color, 3-Dimensional illustrations. The "Full" version provides all the details of the system. It is the Abridged version, plus much more. The "Full" version offers numerous details on construction. These construction details include: where to site the structures, how to size each component, materials to use, and other building tips. The Full Version also describes in greater detail how the system works, and why each component is designed in a particular way. The book on this Amazon page is the Abridged Version.

*Please note that the higher cost of this book is due to the numerous color drawings. Yet these drawings are well worth the price You will understand the physical realities so easily through these illustrations. This book is the second in a series on my discoveries related to electromagnetic energy, energy fields, and subatomic particles. The primary focus of The Creation and Emission of Electromagnetic Energy is exactly as the title suggests: explaining and illustrating exactly how electromagnetic energy is launched from an electron. Yet this book is so much more. In the process of explaining how electromagnetic energy is emitted we cover so many more significant discoveries. Among these discoveries you will find: -The solution for particle-wave duality for the electron. -A new understanding of electron structure and motion. -An advanced understanding of electrical current. -New models of molecular bonds. -The exact process for photon emission. -The reason why one photon is emitted rather than another. -My General Principle of Energy Transfer. and, of course: -My General Principle for Particle-Wave Duality. Each of these discoveries is significant. Together, they provide a rich understanding of energy, electrons, and more. I have done my very best as a science teacher to make these discoveries as accessible as possible to readers of all backgrounds. Every concept is explained as clearly as possible, with numerous full color illustrations. Key concepts and discoveries are summarized in boxes, as well as a full summary of all points at the end. Table of Contents (note that chapter numbers continue from the previous book). 7. Creating EM Bursts 8. EM Bursts from Power Lines and Antennas 9. Creating EM Bursts: Molecular Vibrations 10. Electrons as Particles and Waves One of the most significant discoveries presented in this book is the solution for the particle-wave duality of the electron. For almost 100 years, the electron was considered to be both a particle and a wave. Yet nobody knew exactly why, until now For the first time anywhere, the true physical nature of the electron, as both particle and wave, is fully understood and illustrated. I demonstrate for you, step by step, exactly how an electron as particle creates the wave-like patterns. I explain and illustrate the true physical nature of the electron as wave in an orbital. This leads to a detailed explanation of the physical nature of the associated wave concepts of Standing Wave and the Electron Cloud. Again, for almost a century nobody has been able to accurately explain and illustrate the physical nature of particle-wave duality for the electron. Therefore, this is a significant discovery and presentation to the scientific community. This leads to the General Principle of Particle-Wave Duality. I have combined several discoveries into a single General Principle, which explains all of particle-wave duality. Another important principle I have developed is the General Principle of Energy Transfer. After spending so many years working with energy, I have come to understand the processes of energy in many arenas. From this, I have developed the General Principle of Energy Transfer. In one simple sentence, I state exactly what energy transfer is, for the majority of process in the universe. Simple, yet profound. The applications of this Principle will be numerous. You will also learn discoveries in the structure and cause of motions of the electron. You will learn discoveries in the nature of electrical current. And of course you will learn exactly how a photon is emitted, and why one size photon will be launched over another. There are numerous significant discoveries presented for the first time in this book. All are fully illustrated (hence the cost - but well worth it). The information presented here will advance our understanding of the universe tremendously.
