Description: I originally started Botanists' Dream as a Retail Sales Company to promote Herbs and Natural Medicines and Preventatives; The first line of defense for the average professionally licensed MD seems to be "Try this pill." Man-made Pills do more harm than good in most cases, and are vastly overprescribed in my uneducated opinion. Turns out that people don't want preventatives they want quick cures regardless of the cost. So, I went back to that which I know best; Growing Cannabis, I obtained a card and found a few people who didn't want to grow their own. But I really can't deal with all the stress and uncertainty of the Law changing every (URL removed) was much safer when I just kept it to myself and my close friends, it may have been completely illegal but there was never any actual danger, risk or threat. In my years of growing I noticed several things; 1.) I wasted a lot of electricity for each light. 2.) Many would rather pay $400 for subpar than $200 for high quality!! 3.) I can only absorb so much stress before my body and brain meltdown. 4.) And most importantly sitting around stoned to the bone for 6 years watching the grass grow made my body weak, my mind numb and my awareness of societies',and my own, lack of interest in its own health grow. People in general will flow to the easiest path that resists the least. If we make a world where the healthiest option is also the easiest and/or cheapest, then people will naturally grow healthier without even realizing it. Botanists' Dream Business Plan Profits of most of my ideas are seen more in Reality than in Cash. My goal is to promote the creation of a better world for USAll. I have always believed that Imagination is more important than Education because an inventor with no ideas is just as worthless as an umbrella on a clear and sunny day especially since even the uneducated can tell when it is raining or cloudy. I flunked high school by half of a credit in English and have gotten by on my InGeNuItY and cReAtIvItY for the past 15 or 20ish years. My dad was a farmer that ran Y-V Fertilizer for most of my childhood I drove and worked on tractors, catapilars and semis. My dad was a great mechanic tinker and chemist that could fix anything; He always told me that Perpetual Energy does not exist, through any one form; He was right it takes a mix of all forms to keep the energy flowing continuously. I've thrown several plans for such on Facebook and around the net; Mainly because I don't have the ability, credit rating or resources to make them myself, but I have the imagination to dream and I know that somewhere, someone has the ability to create what I see in my dreams, I must either find them or become them. Fitness and Small Evergy Production The beginning plan can be applied with 25-50k, and will likely produce less cash than actual effectiveness. But as my favorite philosopher, Bruce Lee once said; "Efficeincy is anything that scores!" Bikes can be altered to output electricity to grid(safer,easier and less maintenance) or to a capacitor bank and inverter. Each Unit can output up to 30kw/hour of use by a healthy and experienced rider. The human body is the most efficeint(I failed English but this spell checker needs to learn I before E except after C.) machine commonly known in this world, and many of us could use the exercise. For simplicity let us say each unit puts out 10 kw/h used for 10 hours/day @$0.10/kw. Each bike produces 100kwh per 10 hour 'day' or about $10.00 worth of cleanly generated electricity and at the same time promotes a healthier people and world. 10 Bikes used by experienced riders for 10 hours would generate over 3000KWH worth of electricity... or about $300 worth of 100% clean power, Exchanging Millions of Calories for Electricity and Health for USAll. Once it catches on health and fitness clubs could apply them in their own facilities and 1,000s of bikes translates to many Megawatts of energy! Home based units come equipped with an Ultracapacitor bank, for their lower internal resistance as opposed to common batteries, and inverter for those who live "off the grid" or prefer to exercise at home. -->> Millions of units could be sold or leased to and applied in Prisons for criminals to "work" off their time productively! And this is where the bulk of Money and Productivity truly is for this plan.<<-- The design is simple: Gear ratios provide resistance and increase power output; Maintenance is rarely needed and each unit should last over 5 years. A single KWH cleanly produced IS a KWH that does not require Coal to be Mined and Burned. The cost of each unit is around $700 to build and could sell for $1,000 or even as much as $1,500. Other designs fail to take advantage of gearing and low internal resistance storage and conversion. In the long run, it will take over a quarter of a million to start the larger plan (URL removed) Real Plan for the Future. Large Scale Recriprocal Evergy Production For A Better World. 1st stage: Get Cannabis removed from Schedule 1 so local farmers can begin producing the raw materials needed for stage 2. Hemp can be grown on Montanan farms as long as it is not for human (URL removed)d enough. Stage 2: Which is a simple Paper Mill that uses environmentally safe hydrogen peroxide instead of harmful Bleaches to whiten paper. A simple Textile Mill that creates durable and sturdy cloth that lasts the test of time; Levi's were originally made from used sails, and still lasted for generations! Stage 2 also implements modified old style Adobe bricks embedded with Hempen fibers to increase strength and decrease weight. Cannabis and other natural Oils can be simply and safely made into paints and sealants used to waterproof and dye the bricks to provide more colorful building blocks. And Eco-friendly Personal transportation vehicles designed for 1 or 2 people and maybe a bag or 2 from the grocery store, using simple and interchangeable parts that can be understood and worked on on the spot by practically anyone; as Henry Ford intended. Nearly any plant can be used for the processes, but Cannabis will not disrupt the food chain and will only strengthen the Economy; and the fibers of Cannabis as well as the Cellulose within are among the highest quality with the cheapest production cost for these processes. Also, Promote the use of the Natural Temperature Capacitance of the Earth for home use and modernize old and currently unused methods to utilize the tech(UV-B LEDs to stop the mold and fungus problems that caused the method to stop being applied to new homes over 50 years ago...) that did not exist at the time of the methods' original creation; A simple Channel dug underneath the home and linked to both ends in a certain way causes air to naturally circulate, unfortunately the channel grew molds after a few years and was put out of commission, simple new LED technology can solve this problem. Stage 3: Teach and Grow to other Cities and States once the kinks are worked out and methodology is perfected. Stage 4: Expand to the World. And Stage 5: Begin implementing Recriprocal Evergy such as applying a Stirling Engine to absorb wasted Heat and use it as secondary Fuel in modern computer and hydraulic systems. Thank you for taking the time to read a few of my dreams!=-) Have a Great Day. Brian Prewett Botanists' Dream
