“Gravitational engineering” is not rocket science.

Tesla Owners Silicon Valley @teslaownersSV Nov 6 The future could look like this. Massive amounts of Starship’s going to Mars. https://pic.twitter.com/fTKyJmJhaB Replying to @teslaownersSV Use lift fields, replace belching chemical first stages. Use atomic fuels in space, reduce fuel weight by 1000x or more. Less to lift. “Gravitational engineering” is not rocket science. Just process

Richard talks to OpenAI ChatGPT Plus about KeV and MeV magnetic bonds between neutrons protons and electrons

Richard talks to OpenAI ChatGPT Plus about KeV and MeV magnetic bonds between neutrons protons and electrons. Neutron magnetic pairs, proton antiproton magnetic pairs, electron pairs. Atomic fuels, extended nuclear materials. Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation Richard: I am thinking about magnetic bonds between neutrons and want to talk with you about that. The neutron

If there are no measurements, nor calculations, it is not science or engineering

UZH Physics: The jumping ring and Eddy currents at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xxhoiew4AQ You did no measurements, nor calculations. So I do not consider it “science” or “engineering”. I am fairly certain there are also magnetic gradient forces involved. And you did not show the current and voltage pulse.  Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation Acoustic Atomic Density Nuclear Electromagnetic

Batteries, energy storage, energy density, atomic fuels for rockets, planes, trains, truck, cars, grids, plants, Moon and Mars

Johnathon Briggs, I was going through the nuclear data centers and nuclear data on the Internet today.  I was reading some notes at Argonne, there was a link to “Joint Center for Energy Storage Research”.  Coming from the outside it looks like it is all battery research related.  On the Internet there are groups working

Nuclear and Atomic Data, effect of order of magnitude increase in precision on opportunities in global machine learning

Donnie Mason, I was just enjoying the graphs and data at NuDat 3.0.  I have been reading and using table of isotopes for over 50 years.  It is finally getting to where it is easy to use. I was looking at Q beta-, Q beta+ and Q EC for all the isotopes and the CSVs

Note to Bard about electromagnetic launch facilities using 3D field methods

I design an electromagnetic field launch facility that lift the Starship second stage to its mission height and velocity on the planned time schedule ( a few minutes). It completely eliminates or replaces the booster. More importantly it also can catch and gently set the returning craft back in its cradle. So the overall size

NuDat 3.0 has a beautiful table of the isotopes, Unique Isotope Identifier, Nuclear polymers, magnetic nuclear bound states

Note on 9 Aug 2023: “Atomic Fuels” and “Extended Nuclear Materials” At https://www-nds.iaea.org/relnsd/NdsEnsdf/masschain.html there are beta and electron capture chains that allow converting “nuclear” isotopes by using electromagnetic reactions. Electron density or positron density is easier to control than neutrons still. But with magnetic techniques, BOTH the old fission and new fusion are just part

Richard Chats with OpenAI GPT 4.0 about permanent synchronous stations over the sun, creating new challenges

I want observing stations near the sun to monitor it closely and continuously. Sunlight so close, might as well gather some into “atomic fuel”. Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation Richard: The earth has a specific distance and velocity for “geosynchronous” satellites. What is the radius and velocity of a solar synchronous orbit for a satellite
