Being very familiar with AN/AAQ-28(V) LITENING system I can definitely state there is a huge amount of tinkering with the signal as well as the H7.0 integrating of other external sensor array. What I seen in the video was definitely NOT an artifact of processing(IMHO). Do you think that having acce...

The US Navy's tic-tac & Gimbal UFO data has been acknowledged by the Navy as legitimate; radar/film data as well as credible witness observation is scientific proof Giorgio. I wouldn't make light of the significance of the government officially admitting that. The more speculative part would be...

In the realm of "maybes" everything is possible, but the more maybe you stick together to explain something, the more that something tends to be unlikely to be real. At that point it all gets to personal opinions that indeed can be one's inviolable beliefs, but are scientifically irrelevan...

There's an interesting note that the battery doesn't need pure aluminum to operate. So maybe the plan is to buy inexpensive scrap aluminum and include that in the recycling? A quickie Google search suggests an aluminum can is worth 1.7 cents at a recycling center. About 70 cans to the kilogram. Tha...

Their concern for energy density is not the real issue, as anyhow (as they stated in the techcrunch article) their process involves transforming AL to AL(OH)3 and H2, and this is the roadstop to any wishful thinking they might have. Even on a 100% efficient conversion rate, you still need about 7kg ...

This brings back old memories :) About 20 years ago me and a friend who owned a workshop embarked in producing an hydrogen burning engine using Aluminium wire for soldering. It worked quite well, but we both knew it was purely an academic feat, nowhere economic feasible for any application. The basi...

Yes.

On an unrelated subject if you can stand the non-sequitur; is there any valid scientific reason to think that if there was a stable isotope of Element 115 it would have any unusual properties? Like "anti-gravity"? None to my knowledge. Also by logic we can infer that if indeed there was a...

Third-generation fusion fuels 3He + 3He → 4He+ 2 11 p 12.86 MeV 0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium-3 What about this reaction mixture? I remember hearing about it but it isn't talked about much. Skipjack already gave you good indication. I want to add that is not talked much also because it has...

Just noticed that GG made a mistake in his calculations. He assumed a neutron yield per second. I am pretty sure that they are talking about a neutron yield per shot. One of their shots lasts a few nanoseconds... Exactly. Even with revised math he still has a good point when he mention MAP requirem...

Indeed, but they don't seem to care about the differences there, they tend to generalize all the issues too much for my taste.

Looks like ZAP is hiring, some of the jobs mention their next generation (scientific break even) device: https://careers.aps.org/jobs/?keywords=employer:%22Zap%20Energy%20Inc%2E%22 I have seen your exchange of messages at NBF. I plaud your efforts to actually explain them what the ZAP Z-pinch is tr...

there are a lot of ideas out there http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/basicdesign.php#radiators Yes, but most of those ideas are just marginal improvements in respect of the needs of a human rated ship. I believe that the field needs a radical change of approach to the issue to the point ...

Salvatore - Saviour Pais - Country His actual name is Salvatore Cezar Pais. Salvatore (Italian for) Saviour Cezar (Romanian for) Caesar Pais (French for) Country So here you have, "Caesar saviour (of the) country". Quite a pompous name! That said, considering the total lack of any new sci...

This seems relevant related news: Congrats to Professor Uri Shumlak for becoming an APS Fellow! https://www.aa.washington.edu/news/article/2019-10-02/aa-professor-uri-shumlak-elected-american-physical-society-fellow Congratulations indeed! Hopefully this will make more easy for him and his team to ...
