What are the latest advancements in developing cyborg technology?
As soon as we have an integrated circuit that can mimic a dendritic cluster. It's only a matter of time before half your favorite sci-fi books will be just friction. Airwolf used to be future-tech now it's just an imaginary mid grade military helicopter- Andy SV

Do Airliners Rely on Gravity or Motor Pumps for Fuel Flow?
A1 jet fuel is basically ultra filtered kerosene. Kerosene will not ignite without a some form of surface area amplification. You can point a blow torch at a bucket of A1 and the only consequence will be getting yelled at. :mad: The theory of general relative boss comprehension is absolute It's...- Andy SV

Undergrad Can one cathode transfer electrons to multiple anodes
The elections will flow as long as you have one anode and one cathode more of either won't hurt. BUT if you have a row of anodes one further that the next. The first one will absorb most of the current and the next will get almost nothing. You might be able to get even flow if you did some sort...- Andy SV

Writing: Input Wanted An overheating energy source (for a sci-fi story)?
Yes that's exactly how it works :wink: The idea is the quantum entangled gold molecules will share energy between pairs and the glass is a convenient and cool looking way to carry a very small amount of gold in a dispersed medium I am not to concerned about how hard the science is on account of...- Andy SV

Writing: Input Wanted An overheating energy source (for a sci-fi story)?
In a story i am currently working on power comes from Qlinked gold dissolved in dense borasilicate glass with one part in orbit of the sun if it stopped getting cooling it would turn to lava and then vaporize- Andy SV

Graduate Most misunderstood physics concept
I used to work with a mechanic who thought making the gear in the back of a bike bigger made you go faster as in top speed faster not merely quicker I turned him down when he offered to work on my kz650 My cousin swore up and down that the way to make power in a car is to have more vacuum in a...- Andy SV

Turbulence issues within tubing (Exair Vortex system)
If you want colder air run your high pressure line right up to your workstation and regulate to your working pressure as close to the work as possible What do you do with the hot side air? It is easy to decrease turbulence in an elbow use a bigger elbow with a smooth radius I personally prefer...- Andy SV

YOU: Fix the US Energy Crisis
As to the argument of permanent displacement of large populations do to radiation and poison from an accident I agree the risk is unacceptable and we should overhaul the entire industry https://www.wired.com/2015/03/johnny-haglund-the-earth-is-on-fire/#slide-1...- Andy SV
