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

Akira Kokado, You came up with an expression for the gravitational potential. Did you ever convert the earth’s geopotential into your form? [ My son and his small family live in Japan. He decided to go to college there and never came back to the USA. ] I worked with Steve Klosko on the early NASA

Jyoti Lather The “zero point EM fluctuations” are most likely gravitational energy density fluctuations. At the surface of the earth, the gravitational energy density is equivalent to a magnetic field of about 360 Tesla, the peak is about 1500 eV. The distribution is approximately black body and extends through soft x-ray and XUV down

Magnetron Sputtering, E-Beam Evaporation, Thermal Evaporation, Ion Beam Processing at https://angstromengineering.com/tech/magnetron-sputtering/ I was encouraging groups to tackle improving the chemical only propulsion used in things like SpaceX Starship and related earth to orbit systems. Their specific impulse is limited because they do not understand how to generate ion electron and plasma flows with high specific energy.

Vidduley: Electrodeless Ring Discharge History (since 1884!) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nu6VvNJN8XM Wade Cooper, Don’t just focus on the electromagnetic fields, but spend as much time on acoustics. The ions carry a lot of the mass and energy. USE SI units (Pascal and Kelvin) most of the literature will use those units and you will waste a lot of

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

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

Center for Strategic and International Studies: A Contested Domain, From Space Theory to Practice Thanks for sharing. A good update. CSIS has always been a solid group. I wonder if any group that can take and hold ground on the Moon or Mars or anywhere can make claim to it. Could Elon Musk start whole

Advanced Sci News @AdvSciNews Researchers develop a dual-faced chain mail structure that consists of 3D re-entrant unit cells. It does a spectacular job of protecting a conical flask from damage while being dropped from height 20 times. Check it out: http://ow.ly/lIaR50Olo8f https://pic.twitter.com/ebHu717OkG Replying to @AdvSciNews Great work! These force and energy networks are very useful

Car Maniacs: Toyota CEO: This New Engine Will Destroy The Entire EV Industry! at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTawvzH0MQ4 The value of hydrogen in the chemical industry is so great that it does not make sense to use hydrogen as a fuel, unless you make if from solar or nuclear. The infrastructure is expensive, and it is not a
