Something very few people remember is the electric bubble of the early 20th Century. Power companies sprung up everywhere promising investors huge returns, and far too much electric line was laid. When the bubble burst, the repercussions were serious enough to land some of the billionaires (in toda...

I wonder if you could make a paint for airplanes with that. If it really reduces drag all that much, the savings could be pretty substantial.

Superconductivity at liquid nitrogen temperatures would be a big improvement over liquid helium temperatures.

scareduck, The deal is that the CRA set the attitudes. Well, so what? The real problem was non-bank entities taking bad risks with money they didn't have (or at least, wouldn't be responsible for collecting on at the end of the day). There's simply no data backing up the assertion that the CRA or a...

The assertion that legal requirements to lend to underqualified buyers was the principle cause of the current financial collapse simply isn't true. According to a study published Sunday in the Orange County Register , * Nearly $3 of every $4 in subprime loans made from 2004 through 2007 came from le...

And we know that net energy fusion is absolutely workable, too. There's a lot of difference between theory and practice. Sure, their theory is probably sound in general terms. Wether or not they can put the theory into practice - when nobody else who has attempted same could do so - is less certain...

It's possible that none of the above will prove true.

I got a comment on my blog yesterday on the topic of EEStor that was sufficiently interesting that I reproduce it here in whole. The comments by "Anonymous" he refers to are the standard-issue complaints about EEStor's physics forgetting that barium titanate capacitors store energy as ½cV rather tha...

THANK. YOU.

MSimon -- please, somebody, ban this loser.

Scupperer -- LOL!

Another one off his meds. Yow.

I have a hard time believing it is. Dr. Nebel earlier called the results he got from the reconstructed device (call it WB-7) "nuanced", by which I take it to mean it's hardly clear what the next steps are.

Don't forget that there's a decent amount of coal mined in Illinois.

I think its safe to say that putting $200 million into a garage in Santa Fe is not really prudent from a security point of view. China Lake offers all of the facilities and security necessary to conduct experiments of this magnitude and more. Plus, dry lake beds for weekend recreational bombing run...
