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

Illinois Quantum: Quantum-enhanced interferometric imaging at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Thm-RNUAbT8 Brian J Smith, Right now, if you had enough money, or influence or charisma, you could set up imaging nodes all around Earth and in its orbits, around the Moon and Mars and have baselines that are precisely known and large enough for solar system sized baselines, eventually. And

Illinois Quantum: Calibrating the quantum noise globally, integrating “quantum” into society

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies, Electromagnetic Gravitational Field May 26, 2023

Illinois Quantum: IQUIST 2022-2023 Seminar Series at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSykuoY_rBA Graeme Smith, JILA and Colorado University Boulder If you are going to optimize using humans, then you need to think in decades and centuries. If you use supervised AIs and carefully check their work, you can do it in years and decades. You ought to spend more time

Flyment: Global air transportation industry and alternatives

Richard K Collins Atomic Fuels, Electrokinetic Electrodynamic Field Methods May 26, 2023

Flyment: How Qatar Airways Secretly wanted to Circumvent landing rights to Dominate the Market at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL1RxSK-UGA Flyment, You outlined some of the mistakes they made, and probably other airlines make. But you did not research solutions and pathways for the global industry. Much of air flight is unnecessary, and stems from too many airline investors chasing

Cindy Regal: Quantum optomechanics in interferometry and transduction at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY2xn7bhMY0 Cindy Regal,  All that you said, applies to dynamic gravitational waves. I like your broadband note at 23:37 especially. But you can do a lot more.  All the frequencies (femtoHertz to TeraHertz, and beyond in both directions) are available for “gravity” and usually detectable. I have been asking

Timothy Dyck: Tool making on Mars

Richard K Collins Atomic Fuels, Solar System Colonization May 25, 2023

Timothy Dyck:  Why I bought this train rail at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHpbY2TR-M0 Timothy Dyck, This was an interesting video. These days I am mainly tracking solar system colonization and gravitational engineering. So, seeing your tools, methods and materials, I tried to translate that to Mars, Moon, various orbits and transit situations in space. Mass is expensive so taking
