ok whats the bubble about? It's an emulsion of low temperature boiling points halomethanes like R-12 or R-22 (refrigerant liquid) with an ethylene/polyethilene matrix. This liquid emulsion has the characteristic that keeps his liquid state at a temperature higher than it's boiling temperature, and ...

Congratulations for joining a very exclusive club!

As for using a heated drill, as put forth by Giorgio above, yes, that could work if we find ice sheets under the surface that are not very deep. I do not think that there is even a small possibility to find some ice sheets on the moon (tought I'll be very happy to be wrong). In reality we will be h...

Not even entertaining in my point of view, just some commercial blabbering. Anular wings (or ring wings) are around since the understanding of the concept of "wing" itself, and have been discussed and analyzed plently. No new phisics or invention here, just the old Bernoulli principle in action. Pro...

If indeed there are some ice deposit beneath the moon surface (and that is still a big if), than a drilling machine with an heathing system is all you need to recover it.

Here is an interesting PDF and a PPT presentation for the ones of you that like to get more info about this type of fusion research: https://e-reports-ext.llnl.gov/pdf/366958.pdf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Status of Research Regarding Magnetic...

Fusion power will have a big advantage and cost reduction in respect to Fission power only if a direct conversion route will be realized (pB11 or similar reaction). If this will be realized with one of the technologies that are actually in development (Bussard, LPP, TriAlpha) AND we can really expec...

In short, it protects them from being scooped, and doesn't help anybody else to use their work, while not legally prohibiting anyone else from using or selling their design (if anybody else can figure out that design on their own). Industries do this to establish a "trade secret". Is this also what...

To be honest I do share some of your concerns, yet I am confident that if the navy founded it it must be becouse they saw some result and some informations that at least gave to them the "impression" that it has some chances of work. Or at least a bigger chance than the one we have to see the ITER w...

While the phrase above is true, I still do not understand what type of business model you can build in a country like USA where Intellectual Property is the base of 99% of the business plans. Of course it can also be that the US Navy has simply decided to start to block any type of divulgation like ...

I was not expecting this....
I wonder what will be their strategy on regard to patents applications now.

Not from a pratical point of view.

I've often wondered if electrostatic forces play a dominant role in well formation. Rather than just the diamagnetic push back, the central electrons repel the electrons trapped on the magnetic field lines, which being inductively entangled collectively pull the magnetic lines outward, causing the ...

As for belonging among the stars, if that were true life would have evolved in space. Factually, we belong on Earth. Its the only place we can survive without machines to keep us alive. And who is actually telling you that life has not already evolved in space? This presumption that everything is k...
