Oh, sorry! I forgot to add a link to my book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KXDW82C/?tag=pfamazon01-20 And here is the cover: http://diygravity.com/breaking11-150.jpg

Howdy! So I wrote a novel a while back called Breaking Gravity (info at the bottom) and about two months ago, the book suddenly took off found a pretty big audience. I'm now considering adding a follow up, but I'm looking for ideas. Specifically, the reason I'm here is that I'm hoping you...

I picture something like this: http://diygravity.com/circle_array_wavy.jpg And yes, it would be something like energy pulses spinning off the particle.

Excellent. I get that, I really do. I was just taking a shot drawing my own map! :D

Wow, thanks for all the thoughtful responses! And most especially for all the suggested reading. I have a cup of coffee and can spare an hour, so I'll start my journey with PeroK's movie. My take from what you guys said: • The topic of Wave–particle duality is antiquated • The video in my OP is...

Hi! So the whole Photon-Wave Duality phenomenon really bothers me. I found this little video earlier today: I'm far more comfortable with reality *being* reality. You're either here or there. Every instant contains a single reality. You cannot be in two places at once, nor can you follow two...

I probably should have mentioned why I was asking in the OP, might have made it easier for you guys! :-p But thanks for the input! I'll keep my eye on this thread in case anybody has more thoughts. Since I'm already here, anybody want to parse this paragraph? "The implication is...

Sorry, I coached the question wrong!

Thanks, Nugatory! Ok, here is a bit of restructuring: "Assuming something as impossible as a perfect transfer of stored electricity into a simple motor that could do the work of lifting––like a lawnmower engine––we've calculated that a fully charged nine-volt battery should only be able to...

Here is the passage (the focus of this is bolded out): Turning and placing his hand on the shoulder of a tall, lanky man in a tweed jacket, Letson continued. “This is Dr. Jacob Stevenson, professor emeritus at Caltech, still active with certain endeavors at JPL. He can answer your question...

Sorry Nasu, didn't see your reply before my last post. And I apologize that what I am "asking is not a general principle, general physics question." Does that mean it cannot be discussed here? Nugatory... you totally busted me! :D I am indeed a writer, currently working through a final...

Ok, found this... IMPEDANCE: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=747856

Oh, sorry! Ok, I'm picturing a little 9v battery, like one that might be used to power a hand held device. Attaching image. I have no idea how to calculate amp-hours, but I googled and found this: 500-800 mAh(milliamphours) Sound right? With regard to how quickly I "want the load to...

Hi, I'm new here, hope I am posting this question in the right place. Ok, here is my question: Assuming a perfect transfer of stored energy into work, how long could a 9 volt battery lift 180 pounds (81.7kg)? Qualifier: By "perfect transfer", I mean to assume that there is zero resistance or...
