AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the concept from the book 'Virgintell' that suggests light could function as a solid-state gyroscope. In a simulated experiment, increasing the intensity of a light beam allows it to traverse the universe, leading to the notion that light can distort space by attracting galaxies. The experimenter constructs a massive coil of hollow fiber optics, which demonstrates gyroscopic behavior when light is passed through it. Despite the intriguing ideas presented, the consensus is that the feasibility of using light in this manner remains within the realm of science fiction. The conversation highlights the thin boundary between scientific possibility and speculative concepts.

In the book 'Virgintell' which has a lot of seemingly high ideas about science there is the proposition that light can be used to make a solid state gyro. {not like an osciloscope}.

Summary.

In a 3D computer simulated experiment the developer tries to send a light beam across the universe. It doesn't go. So the intensity of the light is increased. It does go across.

The light is then turned to the maximum imaginable and the effect is to distort the universe by attracting the galaxies.[ Shearing says galaxies bend light so equally and oppositely the light must bend the galaxies path.]

This is noted and the experimenter has heard light is either a wave or particles...makes a massive coil of hollow fibre optics and puts a vast amount of light through it.

1. The loose end of the fibre optics moves around like a hose.
2. The coil shows the same behaviour as a gyroscope. It is then used in space ships.

Q. Is the above possible.

No. Theres a fine line between science and science fiction these days.
 
A light inductor! Brilliant!
 
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
