The Gateway
to knowledge and understanding.
My mission is as follows:
My name is Fred, and I am a qualified engineer and scientist. In August 2026 I will be 88 years old and I have amassed a huge amount of knowledge and understanding over my life. I now want to share this knowledge before I depart this world permanently. However it is not just spitting out knowledge per se, but it needs to be in conjunction with understanding. That means what it is, when and where it can be applied. In other words, a holistic approach, often associating to see the bigger picture. This information is focussed on everyday people with a curious mind, who want to improve their holistic understanding, rather than working with unrelated snippets of information.
Find out about me.
This is how you can gain knowledge the easy way.
Option 1. Browse the website for free knowledge and understanding either by navigating
the menu items on the top line of each page; or
by clicking on the pictures below.

Option 2. You can buy one of my Ebooks on a topic of your choice.
Those Ebooks do not make you a professional, but it gives you a good dose of knowledge and understanding of the topic. When you engage with others, you can certainly understand the background.
It will answer many questions you have often wondered about, and in 3 to 4 hours +$10 to $15, you benefit from the 100th of hours I spent creating each of those ebooks.
All those Ebooks are written by me, Fred Mellenbergh, and are based on well grounded degree level studies, decades of experience, plus some first-hand involvement.

Option 3. You can go to either of my two social media sections.
Instagram: I posted nearly 120 reels about things I made or was working on, from April-November 2025.
My handle is: #fredoffgrid They are all 3 minute reels.
Youtube: From june 2026, I will be posting much longer videos, between 10 and 20 minutes each.
And each topic can have a number of individual videos.
My handle is: @freduncoversthetruth
I have some 30 potential titles in a list, but I am starting with the following:
Mankind’s Quest: This is a discussion on our purpose, our history and our destiny.
How Nature works: This is a general discussion on the systems of nature and how
nature keep things in balance and under control.
Is mankind’s brain its biggest curse?: This deals with some of mankind’s worse traits,
it explains the tragedy of the commons, and it goes through about 15
discoveries that mankind implemented with questionable consequences.
Option 4. From July 2026, I will be making occasional short posts, or comments,
or mention things I did or uncovered on my blog page.
Those things could be of interest to some of you, which is the reason I am sharing those.
