Harnessing G-Field Energy for Mass Creation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between gravitational fields and mass, questioning whether energy from a gravitational field can be converted into mass. It is noted that energy within a gravitational field inherently possesses mass, leading to a debate about the distinction between energy and mass. The conversation also touches on the concept of fields, emphasizing that while fields themselves do not travel, they can exert influence at a distance. The mechanics of how a magnetic field propagates from a coil when activated is also explored, highlighting the nature of field interactions. The dialogue reflects a deeper inquiry into the fundamental principles of physics regarding energy, mass, and field dynamics.

Can we turn the energy of a G field into mass ?

Energy of a gravitational field already has mass. Any energy has mass.
 
I figured you would be the first to respond , so are you telling me there is no difference
between energy and mass , If the G field has mass then how does it travel at c .

Fields don't travel.

And only objects with zero rest-mass can travel at c. They still have an inertial mass and gravitational mass.
 
to clear up my misconception about fields , when i create a B field by turning on a switch
to a coil of wire , how does the presence of the field get to a point away from the coil so that something far away can feel its presence .
 

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
