Here is information of the Quantized inertia drive and experiments. There is information from several of the papers, video discussions and direct communication that I, Brian Wang, had with Mike McCulloch. Mike McCulloch is working with two other teams planning to launch cubesats with propellentless thrusters, one of them with connections to NASA. DARPA is …
Dark matter is claimed to make up over 80% of all matter in the universe, but scientists have never seen it. We only assume it exists because, without it, the behavior of stars, planets and galaxies simply wouldn’t make sense. Quantized Inertia is another theory for explaining the shape and behavior of stars, planets and …
Coherently tiled titanium:sapphire laser amplification provides a relatively easy and inexpensive way to surpass the current 10-petawatt limit. “By adding a 2×2 coherently tiled titanium:sapphire high-energy laser amplifier in China’s SULF or EU’s ELI-NP, the current 10-petawatt can be further increased to 40-petawatt and the focused peak intensity can be increased by nearly 10 times …
CATL has new rectangular LFP batteries which will be available in 6 months. The Iron LFP EV battery price will be less than $56 per kWh within six months. It is a bigger rectangular battery with each one being like six Tesla 4680 batteries. Tesla also buys Iron LFP batteries from CATL and those are …
Shell Oil and Southern Electric utility company had a 2021 research paper that explored if nuclear batteries could be economical for generating power. (Above – (a) MIT’s conceptualization of a nuclear battery (NB) with integrated gas turbine; (b) LANL’s Megapower; (c) NASA and LANL’s KRUSTY/Kilopower reactor using Stirling engine technology for space applications; (d) Westinghouse’s …
In an interview with Bill Gates, Sam Altman says he is super-excited for AI applied to robotics. Sam Altman – “We have to go do this thing. This is now an UNSTOPPABLE technological course. The value is too great.” Tens of billions of dollars are going into the effort to dominate technology and transform the …
We can calculate the travel times for the SpaceX Starship to reach Mars. It is relatively easy to get 90 day trips each way with SpaceX Starship. This is faster than the usual 180-270 one-way travel times. This can be faster because we will have a lot more fuel to enable more direct routes to …
XPeng showed off an updated eVTOL flying car which is multiple helicopter like propellers that fold out of the back. During a press event held live at CES 2024 in Las Vegas, XPeng AeroHT shared significant updates on the progress of its “flying car” technology. First, the Land Aircraft Carrier in the featured image above …
Joe Tegtmeyer described the Telsla 4680 battery chemistry upgrade. At the end of 2023, the 4680 battery chemical composition ratios in Cathode material was NMC 811 (80% Nickel, 10% Lithium, 10% Cobalt). However, Tesla is finishing the process of transitioning over to NMC 955 now that we are in 2024. They are also trialing asymmetric …
One crucial area to enable trips to Mars is the long-duration storage of cryogenic propellants in various space environments. Relevant propellants include liquid Hydrogen (LH2) for high specific impulse Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP) which can be deployed in strategic locations in advance of a mission. Such LH2 storage tanks could be used to refill a …
Here is a summary from a korean who attended the Seokbae Lee superconductor talk. I attended the vision declaration ceremony of the Quantum Industry Convergence Leading Group held today at the main building of Yonsei University Daewoo Hall and summarized the contents. ㅇ Reason for holding the vision declaration ceremony – LK99 has become such …
