Note to Angstrom Engineering about Magnetron sputtering for space propulsion and applications

Richard K Collins Atomic Fuels, Electrokinetic Electrodynamic Field Methods, Electromagnetic Gravitational Field May 20, 2023

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

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

CrashCourse:  Binary and Multiple Stars: Crash Course Astronomy #34 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIFiCLhJmig I think you will find that many of the larger black holes are black, but not singularities. Look at the complex orbits of the stars around our own central black hole. They are complex, intricate, interweaving, but not chaotic and explosive. There are lots of

Paul Yan: OpenAI Warning: AI Will Burst The Education Bubble | Research Paper Analysis Part 2 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elI7AgmivOw Paul, You are really off-base. The GPT implementations are so divorced from reality, I recommend not allowing them to be used for business, government, education or any purpose where life and property are at stake. There are several

Flammable Maths: An Insane Approach! The Fresnel integrals: sin(x^2) and cos(x^2) without complex analysis at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCwiDPL3EMI Writing math by hand is a bad thing to do to new generations. Get a decent symbolic math editor/solver and at least make the symbols standard. Do you trust programmers who make canned math manipulation tools, or some old guy
