exactly, it beats the law by focusing it in a plane. however, if as referenced in that particular article, this same effect happens around a neutron star naturally. (given they rotate at relativistic speeds) then there is serious potential for similar effects to be throwing off our...

sure. I saw it on a better scientific journal site. however I can't remember which one, and sci-am has a useful search function. so here's a short and very non technical story about the original release. hope this is good enough. While sci-am does publish a lot of pseudoscience related things...

I have wondered many times, how it is remotely possible to actually claim the universe KNOWN diameter is larger then double the maximum distance we can directly see.... =/ I wish those textbooks out there would stick to stop calling theory fact even when it IS generally believed. Bottom line...

I've seen with my own eyes two textbooks, printed in the same year. the first disagrees with string theory, ridiculing it as myth and fallacy and completely unproven. The second was putting string theory out implying it was proven incontrovertible fact. (one textbook belonged to my brother...

"Twistor" Theory Reignites the Latest Superstring Revolution: Scientific American theory that space-time itself is a secondary construct. Kind of an concept. If true, then the infinite or non-infinite nature of space becomes obsolete. After all, this means there are no deeper differences...

Hmm. I've had some success with lighting a non prelit candle with my 12X BR. It might work with the 445s as well. What I did was focus it to a pinpoint on the wax at the base of the wick, then move the focal point up the wick. took me a few tries, and it worked well on a candle that was kind...

Re: FS: Sterling Silver host. single 10440 Lol yes I Could make one in gold, but I honestly can't imagine anyone wanting to pay the several thousand dollars for all that gold. Besides, silver heatsinks better :D Anyways, Good News and Bad News. The bad news first. I had hoped to be typing...

Hey! it just might!!! after all, Sarah Palin might run for president then!!!!!!

My suggestion if you just HAVE to use a laser to attract lighting Step 1. Make a long laser host out of copper or other highly conductive metal Step 2. Tie a non-insulated copper wire around the laser, and then tie the laser to a 12 foot pole. Tie the other end of the copper wire around...

Hmm an observation. It's claiming a single unit, in 4-5 months experienced 12 incidents involving 14 soldiers.... that many incidents in a single unit. from november 2008 to march 2009? lets see that's an average of 3 incidents a month.... 1. The members of said unit are changed rapidly...

nice output! curious, how much current are you feeding that little monster? :D

Re: FS: Sterling Silver host. single 10440 Hmm I don't think even 2 10440 batteries in parallel could handle that much current draw. not certain what they are capable of overall though. The module I put in at first to photograph and test it is my 445nm diode. however the flexdrive is preset...

Re: FS: Sterling Silver host. single 10440 Ok, I came across some personal scrap silver I had forgotten I had. Going to use it to add that second battery extension to the next cast at my work. We sprue up a cast every monday, the actual cast (after a 12 hour burnout) will be on tuesday. So I...

Agreed with the previous posters in regards to the George R. R. Martin series. It's seriously one of the best ever written. Go pick up "A Game of Thrones" the first book in the series. Other wonderful books: The Mistborn trilogy. By Brandon Sanderson. The Name of the Wind. By Patrick...

from what I've read. BP's 100k estimate was "if the blowout preventer was removed" from what I have read on this. 100k barrels per day of leakage requires the well is producing twice as much as any other well in the gulf of mexico. which is quite unlikely, but not impossible.

Hello again all. I realize I've been gone for a few months, with no updates on the main project I have been working on laser related. However I thought I would let people know, my goal of offering sterling silver hosts is close to a reality. I'm still tweaking some designs to make them more...

Update. Taking this first host down as a sale item. I no longer need the funds to finish the next series. Tweaking the design a little. I might relist it with new pictures, however the long term 10440 single host pattern is finished and the first one is cast. Pictures of the second host...

I've got a fun little gun type host. (sorry no pics handy) It was a gun shaped lighter I bought at a gun show. There is just something about a laser with a trigger.... However for showing off... nothing like silver :D

you could even culture bacteria like plague. get some antibiotics, and expose the bacteria to low level antibiotics of all known types. before long you would breed some plague bacteria resistant to all known antibiotics. put it in a spray bottle, and give massive numbers of people a nice and...

550 sounds like a great power output to test at. Keep it there is my vote
