Time Travel & Unanswered Questions
Yes, but the premise is still the same, how can you travel to an event that has not happened yet in any timeline? Backward time travel is only possible to the point at which the machine was built, so we build a backward time travel unit, launch it to go to the exoplanet of our choice, say it...- Madpoet626

Harnessing the Force: A Look into How Lightsabers Could Work
Just a thought on how a light saber could work. Take a bundle of miniature plasma guns and pair them with plasma magnets, so when a PG fires the beam goes out and is drawn back by the PM and routed back into the PG, where the beam receives a power boost to make up for what the beam lost and...- Madpoet626

Graduate Faster Than Light: Nullifying Mass with E=MC2
Yes, but does not the infinite energy issue directly connect to the increasing mass? In nature massless objects are limited in speed by the inertia at the time of their creation ?- Madpoet626

Graduate Faster Than Light: Nullifying Mass with E=MC2
The main obstacle to FTL is that mass increases with velocity and in the book of my imagination there is a blank spot on how to nullify the mass of a star ship. I can't help but think the answer is hidden somewhere in Albert's equation E=MC2.- Madpoet626

Can Ionized Air Filters Double as Air Dryers for Compressors?
Cost mainly, refrigeration and desiccant towers are expensive and water traps are ineffective, I have a number of smaller customers who need some kind of dryer but can't spend the money. I was also intrigued by the idea that ionization could be used for both filter and dryer in one unit.- Madpoet626

Can Ionized Air Filters Double as Air Dryers for Compressors?
Will do, next time I'll try of figure out how to include the link. I had in mind a high voltage, low amp system but not knowing how to do the math, I'm not sure if it can handle the volume of air I'm working with. I have been a service tech. in the industry for over 20yrs and haven't seen...- Madpoet626
