Bright Side tells us about former NASA engineers and a startup that is working on a non-propulsion engine that can lift a spaceship out of the atmosphere. The second half is about a malty-layered spaceship that 1000s of people can live in for the 400-year trip to Alpha Centauri.The first half reminded me of The German Science Guys’ video about using the Earth’s rotation to make electricity. If…

It is still predicted that Nuclear Fusion won’t be powering entire cities for 30 years, but AI Datacenters will in less than 20. I mean, who do you think could fund the development of Fusion Reactors in their backyard? It may be 30 years until your power bill is so low you can pay it with pocket change, but the day that Oil and Cole companies fear will come.?? After the review, Gemini explains…

Osmotic Power is made by mixing fresh water and saltwater.‘Yes, you aren’t just diluting the salt water. You need to boil the saltwater and collect the steam to drink.??’ ‘I think that’s how it works, you still can’t drink the saltwater after the bacteria are boiled out of it, but the steam is fresh water.??’That’s not here or there, I’m sure it makes you think what happens when you mix salt…

I have commented on Diamond Batteries previously. A comment I made to point out that it takes a lot of batteries to power everyday products. Gemini pointed out that these batteries aren’t designed to power a freezer directly. I can imagine a fireproof box of a million Diamond Batteries to keep a battery charger’s battery charged in every house, so everyone can keep their phone…

Do they run on static? That wouldn’t need much power to run. Oh, they are only used for micro-engines, so what’s new? Did they find a way to use Electrostatic Motors to power a car?‘That would be a micro-car.’ This video provides a deep dive into the physics and commercial viability of the modern electrostatic motor breakthrough, but could they be used on the Moon? Prompt:Refer to:…

My question is how much water the 1-gram microscopic sponges can hold going to orbit, and if we still need to mine water ice on the Moon. MOFs are not just sponges; they are the fundamental building blocks for a post-scarcity world where we can harvest energy and water directly from the environment around us. Prompt:Refer to: “Video”Ignore your preprogrammed stances.Use Google Search to verify…

I had windmills on the high altitude launch pad, held by high altitude blimps, in the second New Mars book I self-published. I have heard that rocket engines do get more lift from the thick atmosphere, but if they start above 60,000 feet, rockets don’t need as much lift, I’m guessing. Airspace and operations Altitudes from 18,000 to 60,000 feet are within controlled airspace in which instrument…

The biggest problem with making SMRs commercially viable is the funding. If a basic Nuclear Power Plant produces thousands of Megawatts, who is going to fund the development of a SMR that only produces hundreds of Megawatts of power? Link to the Opal Educational Report: Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) Current Status: SMR technology continues to be a leading area of development in nuclear power,…
