A look into the inventor Stanley Meyer who created “the water fuel cell” The water fuel cell is a non-functional design for a "perpetual motion machine" created by Stanley Allen Meyer (August 24, 1940 – March 20, 1998). Meyer claimed that a car retrofitted with the device could use water as fuel instead of gasoline.Stanley Meyer died of a cerebral aneurysm. According to Wikipedia, this occurred on March 20, 1998, while he was dining at a restaurant. Some of his supporters believe he was assassinated to suppress his inventions. The Franklin County coroner's report, which was agreed upon by the Grove City police, ruled that he died of a cerebral aneurysm, and he had high blood pressure.

Ohio Representative Brian Stewart (R-Ashville) sits down with CCV President Aaron Baer and Communications Director Mike Andrews to break down the recently passed House budget and what it actually means for Ohioans like you. From property tax reform to increased education funding, school choice, and abortion reporting, this budget proposal is packed with pro-family policy! Here's a quick look at what we cover:

Almost 200,000 Franklin County residents experience poverty every year. That's enough to fill the Ohio State University football stadium twice. These residents face myriad challenges, among them: medical debt, lack of access to healthcare, adequate and affordable housing, and affordable childcare. Danielle Sidner, CEO of Rise Together Innovation Institute, explains that RISE is on a mission to harness the collective power of people and systems to overcome structural racism in Franklin County that contribute to poverty. RISE was created by the Franklin County Board of Commissioners and business and community stakeholders and seeks to achieve equity for everyone. Danielle talks with us about the challenges low-income residents face, but let's look at just one issue here: medical debt. Low-income residents are ham-strung by medical debt they can't afford to pay, and for fear of incurring more, they don't see a doctor when they need to, which means they end up having worse health outcomes. And, of course, not seeing a doctor can mean an illness, which means time away from work and the loss of employment. During the pandemic, we saw many organizations coming together and looking at innovative ways to relieve some of this debt. Locally, the Ohio Hospital Association in collaboration with the City of Columbus and some others, helped pay the medical debt of low-income residents and then forgave the debt. Based on a study by Kaiser Permanente, once individuals are relieved of that debt, they go back to the doctor and then live healthier lives. They can contribute to society in the way that we all desire. But the process of medical forgiveness is largely a function of nonprofits, and while it works well for a limited number of people, it's not a solution that remedies problems with our healthcare systemWant to learn more about RISE?

Building soil health and finding system balance requires commitment, fortitude, adaptability, and working with Mother Nature. Rick Clark of Clark Land & Cattle and Farm Green Consulting is a fifth-generation farmer in Warren County, Indiana. Rick farms corn, soybeans, wheat, milo, cover crops, small grains, and other oilseed crops using regenerative organic no-till methods and systems thinking on all his acreage. Rick refers to his system as regenerative organic stewardship with no tillage. Rick was a guest speaker at the recent Profitable Soil Health Field Day held in Franklin County, Virginia.In talking with Mary, Jeff, and Eric about his experience and organic no-till journey, Rick emphasizes the need for early success with cover cropping and soil health-building practices, particularly when people are shifting farming systems and paradigms. Rick warns that with current volatile input costs and low cash crop prices, this is not a time to be a hero but to start slowly and wisely. However, Rick also states: "If you're not uncomfortable with what you're doing, then you're not trying hard enough to change."Tune in wherever you get your podcasts. For additional thoughts and resources from Rick Clark on regenerative organic no-till farming, please visit https://www.farmgreen.land/.To learn about the Virginia Soil Health Coalition and join the Coalition's quarterly meetings, please visit https://www.virginiasoilhealth.org/.

Visit Patreon.com/psychopediapod to join our family of freaks and gain access to exclusive content! For reasons that are somehow both incredibly unclear and crystal clear, a recent "backyard mystery" in Franklin County, Ohio took over the Internet earlier this month. After moving into her new home, Katie Santry discovered a rug buried several feet underground near a blood good tree in her yard. After sharing this bizarre find on TikTok, her follower count skyrocketed from 6,000 to 2.2 million in a matter of just days. People around the world became enthralled by the possibility that the rug concealed dark secrets linked to a potential crime, prompting law enforcement and cadaver dogs to investigate Katie's discovery. While she documented every step of the process online in real time, we are the first podcast where Katie has appeared to discuss this whirlwind event in her life. Tune in to hear her walk us through the various stages of this strange yet undeniably captivating mystery.
