ColdQuanta, the global quantum ecosystem leader, today announced its acquisition of Chicago-based Super.tech, a world leader in quantum software application and platform development, and the beta launch of Hilbert, the world’s first gate-based cold atom quantum computer. Super.tech’s full team of quantum information scientists and software developers, including CEO Pranav Gokhale and Chief Scientist Fred …
Elon Musk and JB Straubel talked for 15 minutes on the origins of Tesla. In 2003, JB and Elon and Rosen talked initially about a hydrogen plane but the lunch conversation turned to electric cars. Elon test drove the AC Propulsion T0 EV race car. This ended up becoming making a Roadster EV race car. …
Elon Musk has said that there will be an interesting demo by the end of 2022 for the Teslabot and low volume mass production in 2023. Low volume mass production for Tesla EVs in 2022 means about 1000 to 2000 cars per week. Teslabots weigh 40 times less than a Model Y. Low volume mass …
The Cofounder and CTO of AI Unicorn has said that the Tesla the Factory-Bot is a done deal. The case is made that FSD AI is sufficient for a Tesla factory bot. Tesla FSD AI can already be trained to tell the difference between different parts in a factory. The arms and leg actuators have …
The first step in learning about patents is to define what a patent is. Patents are rights granted to the creator of a technique or product that solves a problem or creates a new method of accomplishing a goal. The patent is a public document that documents these exclusive rights and benefits. The public is …
If large scale production is created on Mars, then it would be more efficient to supply high Earth orbit from Mars than from the surface of the Earth. It would take 60-70% of the fuel to send space based solar panels or satellites to GTO (geostationary transfer orbit). Here is a Nextbigfuture video describing how …
An Oxygen production test on the Mars Perserverance rover has worked. It is 0.5% scale test for a larger system. The larger system will weigh one ton and over one year using 25 kilowatts of power produce 2 kg per hour of oxygen. Oxygen is the heaviest part or rocket fuel. The full scale system …
Joe Justice (x-Tesla Agile Program Manager) describes how the Tesla Austin Factory has been architected 3D agile cells. Each hexagonal agile cell can send product from the cell to any other adjacent cell. The cells are connecting in 3 dimensions. Cells can be beside in two dimensions but they can also be above or below. …
Elon Musk proved the problem with space was not technological but institutional. SpaceX is able to proceed at three times the speed and ten times lower cost by pushing ahead rapidly with a willingness and expectation that they will try, fail, fix what went wrong and try again. The first Falcon 1 had three failures …
In March 2022, Astronomers have now confirmed more than 5,000 exoplanets – planets beyond our solar system. But it’s just a fraction of the likely hundreds of billions of such planets in our Milky Way galaxy. There are 300 billion stars in the Milky Way and 1 trillion in Andremeda. There are likely over a …
Xors Moon Base project is a lunar habitat which seems feasible within the next ten years and able to accommodate 2-3 crews at one time, will be presented by Innspace team members. The project took 4th place in the Moon Base Design Contest. The base consists of 4 living modules and 2 additional ones covered …
