Global Open Collaborative Worksites – speed development, pre-competitive research, open design and fabrication

Temperature-dependent elastic moduli of lead telluride-based thermoelectric materials Edgar Lara-Curzio, Thank you for the paper. I am reading it now. I wonder if open systems will eventually replace commercial solutions? The problem with commercial is they are usally too small. I try to track all open collaboration methods on the Internet, and have for the

Cadence – enabling global learning? Would tens or hundreds of millions work collaboratively for free to learn for free?

https://www.cadence.com/en_US/home/tools/system-analysis/computational-fluid-dynamics/pre-processing-meshing.html Is there an “intro to Cadence computational fluid dynamics” that tells the hardware requirements as a function of mesh size, time step size, precision? I wanted to teach basic properties of vertical flight through the atmosphere up to orbital velocities. I wanted to start with classical shapes, then add more complexity. Then let the

The Action Lab: Energy Density in a vacuum, Temperature in a vacuum in a box

The Action Lab: What Is The Temperature in a Vacuum Chamber? Is it Hot, Cold or Neither? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hTAr2GkhpM There are three fields inside your box after the air is removed. There is an electromagnetic field in equilibrium with the walls of the box, and with the light and electromagnetic waves in the room. If you

BrainTruffle Fluid Dynamics

BrainTruffle:  Fluid dynamics feels natural once you start with quantum mechanics at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXs_vkc8hpY BrainTruffle, You need to use real measurements, on real systems, to match your different simulation strategies to real things. You are guessing by eyeball. You can get massive amounts of data from a number of places, or your own experiments. A billion

John Turner, particles with Coulomb and and gravity, Internet better practices for simulations and global collaborations

John Turner: N-Body Simulation with 70,000+ Particles at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSeEg5XwGGo John Turner, I can think of many ways to make this easier for humans to see, to monitor for useful event and situations, to visual new things. First, you are showing position. You can also show velocity and acceleration, you can summarize statistic on changes, you can

The Action Lab controlling magnets with magnets at a distance. “magnetic locking”

The Action Lab: Magnetic Locking WITHOUT a Superconductor! at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5FyFvgxUhE Fantastic. Now do some measurements, write some equations and write some software so people can plug in what they have and get estimates of what regions will be stable. Or give specifics of separation distance, mass and force, to calculate what speed to use and what
