We need global open gravitational compasses, not demos

Postholer – GIS Resources @postholer Revolutionary Quantum Compass Could Soon Make GPS-Free Navigation a Reality Revolutionary Quantum Compass Could Soon Make GPS-Free Navigation a Reality Replying to @postholer Is an atom interferometer something to look at? Yes, but this one is not sensitive enough or fast enough. Too many cooks. Too expensive R&D overhead. I

Hans Otto Meyer and the PHELEX experiment, it might make a great gravitational potential sensor

I was reviewing the life of Hans Otto Meyer who started out at Basel University, spent most of his career at Indiana University in Physics. I found him looking at photomultipliers as I was searching for calibration data on Hamamatsu detectors. Any experiments that run continuously and precisely will run into gravitational potential effects. So

Queegle Mutlitask and Freena – Does anyone care?

Now Queegle Multitask had a girl-friend Freena, and Freena reminded him constantly of his promise to take her to the Moon for a week in orbit there. The rates were cheap now, because after the initial glamour of “orbit the moon”, everyone realized that the synth was better, cheaper and much more convenient. Synthetic experiences

Induced magnetism suggestion to K&J Magnetics

I read your article https://www.kjmagnetics.com/blog.asp?p=making-and-repairing-fridge-magnets because of your email. I had hoped you would show a way to re-energize or strengthen an old magnet by using a strong magnet to increase permanent magnetization. Is that possible? Can a strong magnetic make many weaker magnets? Ferromagnetic materials, like paper clips, nails, washers, metal plates, metal sheets.

Stop writing about gravitational theories and old problems – make fields that act exactly like gravity

Tony, I have been finishing up some projects. July 23, 2024 was the 26th Anniversary of the Internet Foundation. I did a quick read of this last paper, and your earlier ones. You are arguing theories, when I think you ought to be studying the technologies, instruments, sensors and data. I recommend “gravitational engineering” not

Never say FIB, never abbreviate, always write out “focused ion beam”

After CafĂ©: Strategies for Better Cross-Sectional Imaging – Edge Cleaving or FIB? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qjifh7J4Wos Bangzhi Liu, Thank you for sharing these examples. It seems that human manual methods – cleaving with tweezers, pressing and heating, might have reached their limit. The results become more complex to evaluate, and corrections almost not possible at all. I

It is likely “magnetic fields all the way down” – KiloTesla, MegaTesla, GigaTesla and beyond

Launch Pad Astronomy: Neutron Stars, Pulsars and Magnetars at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWsWcWAcK2U For the Internet Foundation, I had to add KiloTesla and MegaTesla to “commonly used units”. Yours is an early example of GigaTeslas, so there will be more. Gravitational energy density, magnetic energy density and many other kinds of energy density can all be interconverted now.

Adiabatic Flame Temperature – preheat and measure 3d temperature, model and optimize

Adiabatic Flame Temperature at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwgQvi1Y24o I would pre-heat the oxygen and fuel molecules electromagnetically. Then record the 3D volumetric temperature distribution, tracking flow of reactants. To start. And find the temperature dependent heat capacities data or models. To start. Calibrate and optimized the linked models. Track spectroscopic IR, VIS, thermal, UV, whatever is available. Share

An ideal accelerating field knows its materials and their properties down to femtoMeters and femtoSecond if need be

ElectoBoom: Making a Water Railgun at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy81O7LrB84 1 cubic centimeter of water is 1 gram = 1E-3 Kg. Add 1 Watt Second = 1 Joule of energy. (1/2) * m * v^2 = Joules Velocity_meterspersecond^2 = 2*Joules/Kilograms Velocity_MetersPerSecond = sqrt(2*Joules/Kilograms) sqrt(2*(1 Joule)/1E-3 kilogram) = sqrt(2000 Joules/kg) = 44.7213595 (m/s) = 100.0388320956 Miles per Hour Note:
