Drive Em

AI Thread Summary

An interferometer is necessary to validate the Finnish researchers' hypothesis about coupled photons because it can provide precise measurements of the resulting thrust changes. Simply adjusting exhaust angles in an EM drive may not yield reliable data without the rigorous testing an interferometer offers. The need for peer review is emphasized, indicating that discussions on this topic may be premature without scientific validation. The moderators' role in managing the conversation is acknowledged, reflecting the cautious approach to speculative theories. Overall, the focus remains on the importance of empirical evidence in advancing the understanding of EM drive technology.

Why is an interferometer needed to prove the new Finnish researchers hypothesis about coupled photons and not simply an EM drive, which exhaust angles can be changed in order to measure a corresponding thrust change?

P.S.
Now i see that this subject is a no go here until a so called 'peer review'.
So i guess i'll just let the moderators lock it themselves (i do understand the reasons).

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
