That's fine i,m not looking to accelerate anything to close to light speed. Id prefer to get a larger amount of gas ionized or not,moving at a couple hundred m/s

Think like a cd or a galaxy or the event horizon on a black hole. I want to use electromagnets to create a similar state in a body of gas. Since the gas if ionized will be attracted to the negative pole on an electromagnet I want to use electromagnets in a circle to rotate the body of gas...

Ok cool. So the limit is constrained by how effectively you can bend the trajectory of the ions around the track.

Hadn't thought of that comparison but you basically.

Ok a more accurate description would be to induce a state in the gas in which the majority of the gas particles have an orbital trajectory about a single axis.

I'm ok with low energy density I'm more interested in creating something that would spin the gas at very high rpm. Not so much for a useful purpose but as something interesting to do.

Ok so I was trying to design a flywheel for a project of mine and an idea occurred to me. Why not use a gas instead of a solid wheel so you didn't haven't worry about it exploding? Could you spin a conductive gas using electromagnets situated around the gas chamber? Whats the maximum speed at...

Cool thanks for the help. I did some more prodding and apparently he was basing his idea off an anime called A Certain Scientific Railgun. So you definitely babble

Ok how does perception affect it? His main premiss was that through what is essentially delusion you could generate quantum changes that culminated in a macro effect.

What does quantum mechanics say about the nature of reality? I have a friend who's been babbling about how he thinks given the right circumstances (meditation, LSD, the hokey poky, take your pick) you could create "personal reality" and I don't know enough about it to say precisely why he's wrong.

On another note could a flexible solenoid be made?

I wanted an electric field but it sounds like I couldn't get a strong enough field without pumping enough juice through it to induce fusion.

Hmm since the electric field would be hard to generate in substantial strength. would it work to use very thin copper wire wrapped around a rubber container and then use the ferrofluid as the equivalent of the iron core in a normal electromagnet? Or is the center of the electromagnet a magnetic...

So if I were to use conductive oil or increase the concentration of nano particles. It should react to a current running through it?

I wasn't able to get ferrofluid to conduct because of its oil base
