Think of the rotation of the water in a flush toilet. It is just that simple. That says everything. Art, Actually, it does. It was this simple phenomenon that led to a working Inertial Navigation System and an understanding of Coriolis Effect. I'm rusty on this, but I'm sure that the acceleration d...

We are in a rotating reference frame. I believe that the rotation of the earth will impart an angular momentum to the plasma that we cannot ignore. Think of the rotation of the water in a flush toilet. It is just that simple. I've read nearly everything on this forum in Theory and Design. Reading th...

A thought on this virtual model came to me this AM. In all this discussion, I have not heard Coriolis Effect discussed. I believe that this effect cannot be ignored in this model or the real world machine.

Anyone here play the Great Highland Bagpipe for fun, besides me?

This sad person is very unhappy. I pity them.

I often wonder about the mission of those long wing B-57's operating out of Osan AB, Korea in the early Seventies?

High Altitude Reconnaisance to be sure, but not the whole story.

I could tell, but then.... well.... you know!

Aero,

Well said!

I think we should put neutrons behind us and think alpha particles.

I missed that other thread at first. It seems to be in the wrong place. Its obvious that EEStor has been keeping things under wraps, but they would not have gotten an agreement with LM without a serious show-and-tell with some serious PhD Principle Engineers. I'm a serious skeptic myself about a lot...

Incidentally, there is also a good article in Nuts & Volts August Issue on how to make the Prius pluggable.

Now, if I could only make my Civic Hybrid pluggable....

OK, I read it, but .... I happen to work for Lockheed Martin and you should see the size of the magnifying glass used to look at vendors and especially new technology. I've personally looked at using a bank of ultracaps to level the load on a Li-ion batttery pack for a non-hybrid, plug-in EV I plan ...

Mike Holmes mentioned EEStor as SCIFI in a posting on NISSAN Electric Vehicles. I thought this link might push EEStor toward reality. http://www.lockheedmartin.com/news/press_releases/2008/010908_LockheedMartinSignsAgreement.html With the EEStor UltraCaps one might even conceive of storing lightning...
