The Efficient Engineer: Bolted Joints, accessible parts and components, heliospheric economics

Richard K Collins All Sky Cameras, Assistive Technologies, Solar System Colonization May 28, 2023

The Efficient Engineer: The Incredible Strength of Bolted Joints at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLzTB4KLCxU The Efficient Engineer, If parts, components, systems, and supplies are not universally (globally) accessible and widely used, that imposes a high cost. You show Mars. There, heavy bolts and Amazon overnight are likely not going to be available right away. The annual Earth budget is

Twitter: Global Collaborative Worksite for 200 Million Teachers and Mentors and Guides, Tools not text

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Internet efficiency May 28, 2023

@SchraderKing 85 Million teachers, or 200 Million is a small number for a global collaborative worksite. With AIs to remember and assist and interact, not so many humans are needed to share all knowledge and tools with billions of lifetime Internet users. https://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/teachers @ThinkImpact_ At ThinkImpact.com “Well reasearched information from trusted sources.” “Low levels

I get lots of unsolicited emails from people offering to help with websites, they show no website themselves

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Internet Best Practices May 23, 2023

Ava Ramirez, Where are you located? Where is your Website? How long have you been in business? How many people and companies have you helped? Where are examples of your work online? Have you built any collaborative websites for groups larger than 100,000 members? I normally mark these kind of emails as spam, since a

Hamamatsu Corporation, Can you tell me? Globally accessible remote experiments for education and new industries

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Atomic Fuels May 21, 2023

Hamamatsu Corporation, Can you tell me what kinds of experiments might use your soft x-ray sources? I am interested in teaching statistics and many people are interested in x-rays. This might be a good way to introduce them to the topic. A stable and reliable source with variations. And, presumably, various easy to use detectors

Global air travel, airlines, global rocket travel and freight, open testing of “Big Plans”

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Collaborative Model and Data May 18, 2023

Colby Explanes: No One is Buying the Boeing 777-8, Here’s Why at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjYfRmLaqpM A very useful summary. With closed designs, and tiny decision-making bodies, no open simulation models for economic, financial, social and technology impact, these kinds of $10 B to $10 Trillion errors will keep happening. I wonder what impact Elon Musk StarShip global point

Design a global high speed transportation system, or design better ways to evaluate global issues and opportunities

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Infrastructure Water Power Internet Food Weather May 15, 2023

Eric Nelius: What if Interstate 40 were High Speed Rail? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIvgNLRB2nc Eric Nelius, If you are actually doing a billion dollar project, it is usual to invest say 10% for design, planning engineering, market and financial analysis. Then, if the numbers don’t justify the project, you eat the cost, walk away and keep your notes
