...“How It's Made” ...has never shown these products being made

Origins of this presentationOrigins of this presentationMost people that watch H-I-M enough times notice that there are lots of mass (or custom produced) items that have never ever been shown.This document was started with only Iodine, Sulphur and high power HF transmitters in mind. More and more items kept coming up, so there is this....

Recharge the IdiomRecharge the IdiomH-I-M is in need of a slight recharge of its idiom. The changes are not huge, but without change H-I-M will not last.Hundreds of products vital to the functioning of the modern world have not been shown! Fill the gaps!AND : Have more narrators.

Origins of this presentationOrigins of this presentationMost people that watch H-I-M enough times notice that there are lots of mass (and / or) “custom produced” items that have never ever been shown.Showing how things are made is an old idiom, dating to the 1920s. The idiom from the 1940s to 1960s was everywhere. In the US this TV idiom was practically outlawed after 1980. The China Trade seemed to make it so … and the NFB shorts were about the only way it could ever come back. This idiom now has to survive a global economic crisis, and peak resources.

The Discovery Networks (in the US) – if it is not careful -- will end up on the “Ash Heap of History” due to the ongoing global economic crisis. There are too many TV networks in the English speaking world, and those that don't actually help their viewers (in any way) will cease to exist. Households are dumping Pay TV as a service, as there is no spare money in the economic system for it to exist. Pay TV nets in North America have economic models based on pure fantasy – and “perpetual neverending copyright” is no help to the system.


Update the IdiomUpdate the IdiomNarration is important. Having the same narrator all the time can lead a viewer to ignore the program entirely. Canada has scores of people skilled in narration [& in show biz] (& in the Industrial production of goods) >>> ALL must do comedy! Drama people are not a perfect fit...Keep your current narrators for about 2/3rds of each episode … but have each guest do 2 full episodes.


Recharge the IdiomRecharge the IdiomH-I-M is in need of a slight recharge of its idiom.The changes should not be huge, but without change H-I-M will not last.Hundreds of products vital to the functioning of the modern world have not been shown. Fill the gaps : entire sectors have been totally ignored!

Update the IdiomUpdate the IdiomNarration is important, but having the same narrator (or a small set of them) can lead a viewer to ignore the program entirely.

Canada has at least dozens of people skilled in product narration actively in show biz (or Industrially producing goods).

Keep your current narrators for about 2/3rds of each episode …but have a random drop in person.

Have each guest narrator do 2 full episodes of narration. Keep the best 3 segments. Put the best one out. Remainders should be “WEB XTRAS” … Hulu, YouTube etc fodder.


Sun and Star Sensors for SpacecraftSun and Star Sensors for SpacecraftSpacecraft navigation systems still need Sun and Star Sensors to be able to know the spacecraft's orientation.

Without this basic “dead reckoning” navigation mechanism, most craft would be lost.

Ball Aerospace (known best for its Jam Jars & Pectin) has produced these for 40 years.

The Ball Aerospace CT-600 series star trackers have 250 years of cumulative flight experience, with more than 30 Ball Aerospace star trackers in operation.

The Ball Aerospace CT-611 solid-state (charge coupled device-based) shuttle star tracker is NASA-certified for 100 shuttle missions.

The great move to transistors and ICs in the 1970s purged about 90% of all existent tubes from common use. The 12AU7 is one of the few survivors as it is 2 separate amplifiers in one. Cost ~50 CAD, Type: Dual Triode Pins : 9.


Kiddy Sitcom DubbingKiddy Sitcom DubbingKiddy sitcoms are universally dubbed. NOTE : This audience may not be able to read, or is not interested in doing so (as part of normal TV viewing).SO : “Subtitles” are out of the question...Canada's kiddy sitcoms have been widely dubbed, and should be chosen as examples.

became extinct some 15mya ago. ● Ginkgo Trees originate from the early

to mid Dinosaur era. Now found mostly in Asia. When harvestable, Ginkgo seeds smell like poo...

● Lotus Seeds need to be boiled to be eaten, but are otherwise the Asian dietary answer to the Hazelnut.


Aircraft Diesel EnginesAircraft Diesel EnginesAircraft diesel engines or aero diesels have not been widely used as an aircraft engines.

Diesel engines were used in airships and were tried in aircraft in the late 1920s to the 1940s, but never widely used.

Diesel’s main advantages are excellent fuel consumption because of Diesel's higher energy density.

There are some disadvantages compared to gasoline or turboprop engines, such as the need to keep the fuel from gelling at low temperatures.

The rising cost of avgas, and doubts about its future availability have spurred a resurgence in aircraft diesel engine production in recent years.

The idea is that you can't show how these things are made! Showing how they might be made … can do.

However, these extra things must be done to make the content re-transmittable outside Canada

● Indirect NSA attribution is mandatory. Daft secrecy laws (the world over) do not recognize public domain knowledge!

● Rename every “ANT” item with an analogous codeword. BUT mention the original LOT & UNIT PRICE.

● Don't use original source material images, but in narration keep about 60% of the rephrased text.

● Note that all of these NSA goods can be replicated in the private sector – and can be commissioned by anyone with Gold or Silver.

AKA Compounded Multivitamins + MicronutrientsAKA Compounded Multivitamins + Micronutrients

Mammals need about 432 dietary elements, minerals, vitamins, etc …to function. About 90% of the global T2 Diabetic, Obesity and Chronic Fatigue pandemic is linked to simple malnutrition.This kind of dietary supplement has evolved out of the concept of resetting the use of all vital elements, minerals and vitamins (+ micronutrients) in the metabolic system.In Yougevity's case about 150% for all of them. The oversurplus in supplementation is to help reset wonky metabolic processes caused by deficiencies and excesses. Influenced by : Asian medicine principals.


Kiddy Sitcom DubbingKiddy Sitcom DubbingKiddy sitcoms are almost the hardest to dub, usually as there is singing involved (and it must be replaced). Even though most kiddy sitcoms are broadly written -- many many jokes simply do not translate. Even names in dubbing may have to be changed (◄ example) : No Polish girl is named Hope, Faith or Charity … yet in the EN world there are scores of them. So the joke was rewritten in “◄ Moj Krompol Angol”.Cost 25m sitcom : ~40k SDRs (~50k CAD) ...

HVAC (and DC) Power CablesHVAC (and DC) Power Cables

This really should be about 1940s technology versus 2000s (not much changed since 1980s).1940s : YouTube (“Power Lines”, 1944, UK). The impregnated paper, jute, gutta percha, lead sheath(s) and armouring design for 150kva to 500kva cable has completely changed. Rubber has been highly replaced by Polythene and PVC. 2010s : Top Cable (Spain) has several YouTube videos equal to the UK content, but showing the use of modern materials. Covering the differences (1940s vs Now) is worth a 15m segment in its own right.

Type II Diabetics typically have a concurrent Magnesium deficiency. Lack of dietary Mg clearly is a health risk. Vanadium has been known to improve the Type II's metabolism. Deficiencies in V may lead to one becoming diabetic. Boron also has a nominal role in metabolism These “dietary elements” are clearly not appreciated or understood – and it is not clearly known how they are made.


High Power Shortwave (HF) TransmitterHigh Power Shortwave (HF) Transmitter

These XMTRs must be Frequency Agile (5 MHz to 23 MHz) + have output powers of 100 kW to 500 kW. Max power offered : 600 kW

These transmitters must change frequency ~6 times per day to adapt to propagation conditions, and run for 20 {hr/day} for weeks on end AUTOMATICALLY.

These XMTRs are still of strategic value as there are vast areas not covered by any sort of telecom except HF or SATCOM.

Canada has no high power HF transmitters, as RCI Sackville NB was demolished. CHU, like WWV never changes frequency and is too low a power to even be considered as an example.

Boxer “Flat” EnginesBoxer “Flat” Engines(motorcar, motorcycle and aircraft types)

A flat engine is an internal combustion engine with horizontally-opposed pistons.

Typically, the layout has cylinders arranged in two banks on either side of a single crankshaft and is otherwise known as the boxer, or horizontally-opposed engine.

The concept was patented in 1896 by engineer Karl Benz, who called it the "contra engine."

A boxer engine should not be confused with the opposed-piston engine, in which each cylinder has two pistons but no cylinder head. Also, if a straight engine is canted 90 degrees into the horizontal plane, it may be thought of as a "flat engine", but this usage is not common.

True boxers have each crankpin controlling only one piston/cylinder while the 180° engines, which superficially appear very similar, share crankpins.

(and Compound Deltics)(and Compound Deltics) Simple Deltic engines were possibly first used by a German saloon sedan after 1933 with Gasoline. Diesel designs were designed for the UK Admiralty after 1948, but adopted by English Electric for Diesel Locomotives (c 1956). Deltics have massive Torque vs Weight Ratio, a typical 3 Tonne 18 cylinder @ 3300 HP. DELTICs Ram pistons together to obtain Diesel ignition and this saves tons of engine block weight.

Vitamin K2 PillsVitamin K2 Pills

Vitamin K2's production processes to render it to a pill are unknown. While millions of people take calcium and Vitamin D supplements thinking they're helping their bones -- without Vitamin K2, such a health regimen could prove dangerous.

Without Vitamin K2, the body cannot direct calcium to the bones where it's needed.

Calcium (sans K2 & D3) resides in soft tissue.

This leads to simultaneous osteoporosis & atherosclerosis – the dreaded "calcium paradox."


Antenna TunersAntenna TunersAntenna tuners are both used by radio amateurs and broadcasters (including utility stations, like WWVB) to optimise Antenna VSWR.Antenna Tuners better isolate the antenna from the transmitter.(Power & Frequency) Ranges

...“How It's Made”...has never shown these products being madeIodine Production (Seaweed)Iodine Production (Seaweed)

Iodine was discovered in Seaweed. The U Montreal Chemistry Department can do this process, or maybe the University in Halifax NS.● Ribbon seaweeds contain

iodine compounds which can be obtained by extracting Iodide ions from seawater.

● Iodine can be extracted from the seaweed by heating it in air to an ash, in which the iodine is present as iodide.

● The iodide is dissolved out of the residue by boiling water, the solution filtered and the iodide oxidised to iodine using hydrogen peroxide.

● The iodine colours the solution brown at this stage. Isolating the iodine from this solution can be done by solvent extraction, followed by evaporation of the solvent.
