As for your "black, staining fluid EVERYWHERE !", that wasn't your first argument against my recommendations, PineStone, so you're waffling now in defense. Of course it'll be messy, it's a dark fluid. Does one need a warning that changing their engine oil could be messy? If so, they shouldn't...

I understand that you have to protect your business of selling FerroCells, but don't do it by bashing someone else, PineStone. I stated that you make good ferrocells, but they are small and only two-paned. If one is working with smaller magnets, yours work great. If one is working with larger...

Exactly. And if we were (somehow) able to completely (or sufficiently) negate the ZPE field density inside that Casimir cavity, whether matter would electron capture decay back up the Periodic Table until we hit hydrogen, which would electron capture decay into neutrons, gamma energy photons...

No, not from the ZPE field, per se. And not a "strong" Casimir effect, just the same effect as is seen between the walls of each Casimir cavity making up the "Casimir box". I'd thought that by electrically "shorting" opposing inner walls, no field fluctuations could be induced inside the inner...

Ok, throwing aside the naive "particle interpretation of Quantum Field Theory" (this was supposed to be a B-level question, after all), and forgetting for the moment that Chalmers University researchers in 2011 concretized microwave photons from the ZPE field using Dynamical Casimir Effect...

But if the virtual particles are being excluded from the gap between the walls and are thus impinging more "heavily" upon the exterior of the walls (the cause of the Casimir Effect), and you put walls that are excluding these virtual particles into the shape of a box, wouldn't the interior of...

Assume that one builds a Casimir cavity in the traditional manner, with closely spaced walls. We know the Casimir Effect becomes more pronounced the closer the walls are spaced. Now, if one were to build six such Casimir cavities, and assemble them into a box, would the same effect be noticed...

You can't use just the diameter of the pistons. You have to calculate the area of each piston. Piston A = 3 square inches Piston B = 1 square inch Applying force to Piston A to move it 1 inch will move Piston B 3 inches, with 1/3rd the output force. Applying force to Piston B to move it 3...

Gravity on Earth will accelerate all objects at 9.807 meters per second, for every second that the object falls, until that object reaches terminal velocity (the air friction balances with the gravitational acceleration). So, for instance, a penny dropped from 9.807 meters with a starting...

I forgot to mention, you can use black toner in place of iron particles. But it makes a very black liquid. You'd have to experiment with the amount of toner to get a really light greyish color that the LEDs can shine through. It's best if you start with oil that's as close to optically clear as...

Ferrocell USA makes some good ones, but they're small and only two-paned. You can use whatever size and however many glass pieces you like if you build it yourself. One that's double the size of a commercial unit, with ultrabright LEDs and three panes, gives an astonishing view.

You can make your own ferrofluid (note the name... ferrofluid... because it's ferromagnetic). Buy some 25 nanometer iron particles (from Sigma Aldrich or similar), mix them in with a clear viscous oil, and you've got your ferrofluid. You'll have to experiment with oil viscosity and amount of...

I'd use a permanent magnet to hold the train to the track (or even better, do away with the wheels and make the baseplate of each train car of aluminum so you can use maglev). For propulsion, do a search on YouTube for Professor Eric Laithewaite. He's got some videos describing how he perfected...

Hi, all. Ok, rather than adding the hot air to the front of the vehicle to reduce air density, what if we added the air to the wake to increase base pressure? On page 228 of Wolf Heinrich Hucho's book Aerodynamics of Road Vehicles (4th Edition), he states that using an active means of wake...

Hi, all. Ok, sort of a weird question, and I'm not even sure if I'm asking it correctly, but here goes: First, some background: ====================================== ====================================== According to: Hydrogen Bonding and Orbital Models In ambient atmosphere the O—O in the...
