“Coal to Oil” is an idea whose time has come. Oliver knew it in his bones. He elicited a promise from his only son that he (the son) would carry the “Coal to Oil” banner when the father had passed on.
In the year 2010 the “Coal to Oil” (C2O) idea of Oliver Sullivan shall be brought to life by means of a computer screen and audio system. Rather than constructing a coal gasification plant, I will begin telling the C2O story somewhere among the myriad bio-mass and coal feeder systems, within the coal gasification process itself, or among the myriad local community enterprises utilizing every bit of material produced by the C2O Industry
I will be learning Flash and using the C2O animation of gas flowing in time over a temperature gradient and a gravity field. That will be the backdrop for some small slice of the overall process worth visualizing in an animation sequence…my first demonstration slice.
Perhaps I’ll begin in a animation perspective of coal gasification beginning with the Periodic Table of Elements? Perhaps I’ll begin in the ancient peat bogs where the lignite coal began to form.
I can see the overall idea in my mind’s eye. There’s a great distance to go, from where I am to where I must go to attain competency in the Adobe CS 4 product suite.
