Anyone know anything about fiber optic control of servos? Terminating single and multimode optic fibre is hard. You might want to try starting with Plastic Optic Fibre. Not that I've had a project to try it out yet, but apparently it can be terminated with a pair of scissors. Limited to 100 meters ...

Tayloe low noise detector

I had not heard of the Tayloe detector. I guess you mean this. Very interesting concept. Its been 15 years since I've done quadrature math but the generalised concept is still there. I'll file it for later reference. Thanks.

APE - Relativistic Density Functional Theory

> Do you know why electrons don't fall into the nucleus of the atom Similarly, why don't the positive ions combine with the electrons in the centre. You could look at the mass of the electrons in the centre of the Polywell as one big atom, with other atoms wizzing by. Perhaps some condensed matter a...

PARSEC - Density functional theory

greetings all, I've be lurking for a short while. Didn't have much to contribute but found it all very interesting and hopeful. I just bumped into some simulation software that might be interesting, though its beyond my ability to know how suitable it is. Perhaps too fine grained but it seems to dea...
