Race · energy · 15 rediscovery findings · Swiss-Ephemeris-anchored
Fifteen energy rediscoveries spanning Persian vertical-axis windmills (1,300 years before modern turbines) to Iranian yakhchāl radiative-cooling (the principle behind Stanford 2014 MetaSky cooling) to Sichuan natural-gas boreholes (2,000+ years before modern petroleum). ~$300B annual global energy R&D. The conventional industry took on average 1,878 years to confirm what traditional knowledge documented.
