moving things with acceleration fields

Action Lab https://www.facebook.com/reel/2492914700906073 Using Sound as a fire extinquisher Yes, this works for acoustics, for electromagnetics, for electrons, for ions, for sprays, bullets, and randomly placed array sources. Impulse response. Use it to move most anything. Use doppler scans, then push red and pull blue or the opposite. The only reason you can do this

YouTube – Turning Dirt into Silicon and other things – Mars and Moon

Amateur Chemistry: Turning Dirt into Silicon at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo3O82dmPxA I really liked this because of the cleaning steps. I would not have done it those ways, but happy to watch your methods and hear your comments. I would likely have looked online to buy clean sand already powdered, and avoid time, acid, water and mess. The

Facebook – Cutting Water with a hydrophobic knife – look at me do this and this and this

https://www.facebook.com/reel/982103566933564 You can make a holder and cutter with cameras and controls to cut smaller and smaller. What tools you use determine how small, but better than using eyes, hands and cutters that are really rather large and blunt. Perhaps laser(s). Your videos are often intriguing, but I am almost always dissatisfied because it is

Small experiments with outstanding noise – shared globally for learning and development

Julian Stirling @stirling_julian I’m delighted to still be publishing papers almost 2 years after leaving academia to become freelance. This article is more of a “rant with references”, I try to tackle the problem of perverse incentives that prevent open science from flourishing. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsta.2023.0215 Replying to @stirling_julian There are fundamental experiments that can examine fundamental

Note to NIST about gold Au typos The Thermal Expansion of Pure Metals

Hello, I was looking at The Thermal Expansion of Pure Metals: Copper, Gold, Aluminum, Nickel, and Iron at https://materialsdata.nist.gov/handle/11256/32 It has a spreadsheet.  In the “Au data” sheet There is a temperature 38136.  I think that ought to be 381.36. The value for 157 centigrade, 37.3417?  Should it be 0.00373417? The value at 34.6 centigrade,

Can You Modify A Car To Save Fuel? – Fifth Gear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39g5D7h7jf8 The weight reduction impact shows up if you start and stop as part of a test. Aerodynamic drag goes as the density of air times the velocity squared. You should have waited for a day identical to the first. You guys are in
