Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Can you freeze dielectric polarization?

« on: 22/06/2017 17:31:15 »

OK what I'm trying to say is rather simple.

Lets say you have water which is a polarized molecule, you place the water near a high voltage electric field to align all the water molecules along an axis then freeze the water and remove the high voltage field

will the ice retain the alignment that the electric field created?



see the picture on the right, will ice grown in an a high voltage electric field retain alignment after the electric field is removed?

I am trying to find a material (lattice) that can align free electron spin along an axis. so that all the free electron spins point in a certain direction.

I want a sea of electrons which have electron spin alignment.

Just Chat! / what are some occult technologies?

« on: 11/05/2017 13:00:01 »

I wonder how many technologies are hidden from public view or used in obscure and secret ways.

I mean how many technologies are out there that are being used in ways that boggle the mind, like UFO technologies for example or technologies that are used in weird ways such as aerosolized Oxytocin being used as an interrogation tool for use as a truth serum.

What do you guys know of... maybe you could come up with some technologies that could be used in a secret way.  For example about a year ago I made a short range radio takeover device  which operated on 10 major frequencies.  I used it to say things to people on the high way over FM and spread messages.  One time I used it to talk to a store clerk I sort of freaked him out (I told him he was trapped in something similar to the matrix) it was funny at the time.

In other words it was an anonymous use of technologies used in a secret way.

What can you come up with and what do you know of? it could be anything, a weapon or a tool or just something else.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / How fast can light be polarized?

« on: 05/05/2017 14:18:24 »

I wanted to experiment with "alternating polarization" of electromagnetic radiation.  It is my belief that strange effects will occur if you can alternate the polarization of a microwave at the same frequency of the wave.

I mean to say that if you take a microwave who's frequency is X and you alternate the polarization of that wave at a rate of X you should twist the wave in a strange way that may give rise to unusual properties.    (see picture below)

I will use the attached picture to explain myself in a simple way

What you see in the picture below is a representation of my "APE" wave, an "Alternating Polarization Emission" wave.

in order to make such a wave you must use some sort of faraday effect device that can operate at Ghz frequencies but is that possible? can you alternate the polarization of a wave so that it looks like the picture below? Can a faraday effect coil operate at high frequencies like MHz and Ghz? How would you approach making such a wave?

General Science / can we build better spaceships?

« on: 23/04/2017 17:34:33 »

Rockets have always been what we humans have used to get into space BUT traditional rockets are rather expensive and wasteful. Personally I believe a new form of space craft needs to be imagined because what we have today simply wont take us to other stars practically and cheaply.

So I ask you if you can imagine radical new space propellants and technologies, as if you were trying to make a REAL star trek/wars worthy vessel. Just for fun.

I have come up with an unusual theoretical model maybe you could build on it or come up with something entirely different.

to begin I believe a very powerful propellant is needed, one that will be as light as possible yet pack the most thrust.  I have heard plasma rockets are the most fuel efficient types of rockets but non have been developed as a take off thruster.  I wonder if it's possible to make plasma thrusters powerful enough to be used as a means for take off.

Plasma rockets don't use a whole lot of fuel as compared to regular rockets however the do require a whole lot of electrical energy.  To get enough energy to the plasma rocket I imagine a network of high powered microwave transmitters "beaming" the energy directly to the ship wirelessly using "rectenna technology"

My kind of space craft would be a space plane that uses extremely powerful plasma rockets.

Because the ship does not need to carry a heavy power source the ship could be remarkably light weight and rectennas have been tested to handle huge currents, like over 100 kilo watts. which is needed to power the trusters

As the space plane goes around the earth many high powered transmitters track the ship until the ship can maintain low earth orbit, at which point the ship can gain speed like an ion craft to be able to break away from the earth to it's destination.

New Theories / Are gravitational waves the residuum of the Big Bang?

« on: 05/04/2017 07:22:53 »

                                        BIG BANG WAVES?
                               

Ok to start out I have been researching the big bang and gravity waves and I've come up with an unusual possibility concerning the nature of dark energy.  In other words I have come up with a theory which might prove what dark energy is.

Dark energy may actually be gravity waves coming off of the big bang explosion.  The reason why I believe this is so deals with the "singularity" which is supposed to be a single massive black hole from which all the mass and energy of the universe exploded out from to make the big bang.

The Idea is that 13.8 billion years ago "the singularity black hole" ruptured and collapsed giving birth to the big bang and the universe as we know it today.

So first there was a big black hole called "The singularity" then the black hole exploded into what we all know to as "The big bang"

The explosion converted all of the black hole's mass into energy in a single moment. But what most scientists overlook is what happened to the gravitational energy of the black hole when it converted its mass into energy?

The energy would disperse in the form of Gravitational waves.

This video should clarify what gravity waves are, my point is made at 7:45 in the video

What I mean to suggest is that the big bang must have created massive gravitational waves that would be the largest waves in the universe. 

Imagine all of the universe's mass in one spot, then it just disappears in a split second like the sun in the video link above. The result would be gravity waves BIG ONES with a wave length that would stretch countless light years and we may be in the middle of one of these giant space waves right now, coming from the peak of a wave down towards the bottom of a wave or in other words coming from a wave crest towards a wave trough.

                                   

At the crest of a gravity wave space is very dense and at the trough space is very stretched out,
if we look at far away galaxies we see that the light from those galaxies is stretched out and thus lower frequency.  I speak of the "red shift" which is merely light created in more condensed space and getting stretched out as it enters less condensed space.

So what I'm saying is that Dark energy is actually really big gravity waves that were made during the big bang and that the expansion of space is the just us passing over one gravity wave coming from the top of a gravity wave towards the bottom of a gravity wave.

I hope what I'm saying makes sense and that you can follow.

If dark energy is actually gravity waves then it would make sense that galaxies "breathe" as gravity waves pass over them, and interact with the galaxies which could mean that these space waves could be responsible for "Dark matter"  I think you get the idea.

I'm going to stop now before this gets too long but Please leave a comment below and I will get back to you.

Technology / How do you make a jedi mind trick device.

« on: 08/09/2016 09:58:13 »

                                                                                                             Ear controlled technology
                                                                                                   
                                                                                                         The image above depicts the inner ear the muscle depicted as figure 3 is the tensor tympani


Ok this is my question, I want to make a sensor that can detect a signal from the tensor tympani muscle but I don't know how to go about doing that, how do I make such a device?

The reason why I would want something so obscure and specifically strange is for good reason, here is why I want such a thing.
people have the ability to make a low vibration in their ears via contracting the tensor tympani muscle (figure 3), it sounds like that earthquake sound effect, or Jedi force sound effect. I and a good percentage of people have the ability to make this vibration in the ears at will. I would like to use this ear vibration effect to trigger something like to tell headphones to change the song or to push a radio relay button to switch something like a light-bulb on or off like a Jedi wizard.

if you close your eyes really hard you can get the tensor to start vibrating or clenching your jaw or when yawning its hard to explain to people who can't do it.

I would imagine if you put some sort of mic in the ear you might be able to get a signal but I have done nothing yet to try and build such a device Simply because I don't know yet how to go about doing that

the bottom line is that it would be cool to use this voluntary vibration effect for technological reasons but I need to get a signal from that muscle to do it, how can I get that signal?

I think a tiny microphone in the ear could work

Perhaps some sort EMG or something else entirely.

What do you guys think?

General Science / Is dark energy actually gravitational waves?

« on: 19/07/2016 18:47:53 »

The earth's greatest telescopes can see galaxies many millions of light years away.  However strange observations suggest all is not what it seems. Distant galaxies are emitting light from stars that is a lower frequency then it should be because the space between galaxies is getting larger and less dense but why?

ON top of all this, the galaxies appear to have more mass then they should because of the rate at which galaxies spin and retain their defined shape is greater then expected.

The truth is that dark energy is actually exactly what Einstein predicted long ago.  Gravity waves, The properties of gravity waves have the power to condense space as it flows through it at the speed of C.

But why is dark energy actually gravity waves you ask? Well to answer that question you have to ask a question, were did these gravity waves come from, well these waves have a huge amount strength to be capable of doing what it does to the entire visible universe. were did the energy for such a thing come from.

The big bang of coarse or more accurately what existed before the big bang, the singularity a single giant black hole with the combined mass of the entire universe inside it, if it existed that means that it would have had a powerful gravitational field considering the mass of the dang thing you have to wonder what happened to it's gravitational grip on space-time when the big bang converted all that mass into energy in a single instant (the big bang)  The fabric of space itself must have rippled like when a rock hits a pond of water.

These ripples I speak of are gravitational waves, And they are big, very big...  So big indeed that they are literally bigger then the entire visible universe in wavelength.  The red shift we observe in galaxies is the result of this part of the universe riding down the slope of a gigantic gravity wave toward the bottom of the wave.

Our visible space is coming from a more condensed state (top of the gravity wave) to a less condensed state (bottom of gravity wave)

Dark energy is a wave and so it's got a sine wave form of expansion and contraction (as apposed to dark energy expanding space to infinity) In our time, we just happen to be on the expansion side of the wave. soon galaxies will blue shift and come closer together not only that.  The space between stars will get smaller which will cause stars to orbit the black holes of their galaxies with more strength causing the illusion of dark-matter  because without knowing that dark energy's gravity waves existed you would not know to factor them into the equation.

You have to realize that galaxies have probably been through a few of these waves already and have increased in speed similarly to an ice skater spinning with their arms and legs out ward then pulling in their ligaments inward to increase their rotation speed, Galaxies do this when they get in the more condensed side of the gravity wave and for millions of years they increase in momentum because of the wave facilitated virtual increase of a galaxies gravitational attraction to itself do to the influence of the gravity wave when the gravity waves are at their wave peaks galaxies spin faster because its like getting energy from the gravity waves.

Dark matter is the miscalculation of the amount mass in galaxies and the universe do to the existence of huge gravity waves created by the big bang influencing them.


Please comment.

One other thing is that it may be possible to prove my theory by calculating what size these waves would have to be to get galaxies to look the way they do. If you can calculate the exact frequency of the gravity waves and the exact amplitude then you would be able to tell exactly how big the big bang actually was.

You could tell how much mass is in the entire universe if you could calculate the size of these gravity waves and calculate how big the black hole before the big bang would have to have been to produce a wave like dark energy.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Can an electric field act as a sun screen?

« on: 30/12/2015 18:05:12 »

Most people know that your body can aquire a static electric field by rubbing your socks on a carpet. Most people see static electricity as a minor annoyance, but what can an electic field aroun your body be good for? I was thinking that a strong electic field from a device like a van de graff generator might be capable of protecting you from bugs like mosquitos and ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

The mosqito repellent idea is quite straight forward, when a mosqito gets close to you he gets attracted to you quickly and as soon as he touches you, he gets charged and repelled unable to land long enough to bite you. And Walah you have a mosqito/bug repellent that will work eveey time and is rechargeable.

The sun screen idea is a bit more complex. It deals with the photo electric effect, when uv light hits your charged body you will loose some charge do to the photo electric effect. But what I want to know is will this effect also remove some energy from the photons as well? From what I understand a uv photon hitting a charged object will disloge some electrons but does that energy to dislodge the electron come from the photon? Bottom line is this.

If I go to a beach with a big ole van de graff and stand on a stool and place my hand on the van de graff generator and simply stand there directly in the sun for a good hour or two will I get a sunburn?  The obvious answer seems like yes but I just don't konw, that's why I'm asking. It would be pretty cool not to have to put on sunscreen at the beach. []

Technology / what do you think about animated contact lenses?

« on: 13/08/2015 14:15:37 »

I have an Idea for a novelty invention which I believe is quite impressive and somewhat simple and cheap to archive. I have come up with a way to make animated contact lenses!

I came up with the Idea when I saw this invention on the internet.

https://www.google.com/patents/US6874888

It's apparently a kind of "polarized contact lens" Developed to basically be used to watch "3d TV" without the glasses, personally I don't foresee very many people lining up to get $100 polarized contacts just to watch TV, but I thought of another use for the technology.

This is how it would work in theory, you could buy "theatrical polarized contact lenses" with various designs of your choosing AND 1 of 3 different kinds of "special glasses"

The simplest glasses type would be 2 simple polarization lenses mounted on a frame which would rotate the lenses thus making the polarized contacts change transparency as the glasses lenses rotate which could reveal a pattern or color underneath the polarized film.  It's a pretty simple concept, But you don't need to physically rotate the gasses lenses for this effect to work, If you use LCD technology you can archive similar effects with out the need to actually rotate the lenses.

liquid crystal glasses Is the next kind of glasses you could use and it would look far less silly then rotating glasses lenses and would work better too. But these kinds of glasses are not like your computer screen, it's much simpler. More like those cheap LCD displays you see on calculators and alarm clocks like the picture below.



The glasses lenses would use a layer of liquid crystal inside the glass and nothing more. when you apply electricity to the lenses you can shift the polarization to archive the animation effect.

you could pulse the current and get a flashy effect or modulate the pulses to music, you can do some very interesting stuff with this.


The 3rd and and most complex glasses would be a lot like you computer screen with liquid crystal pixels that would allow you to do the highest level of animation on your eyes, unlike you computer screen which has colored sub pixels and back lighting as well as a lot of other components.  your glasses would only need the actual liquid crystals with the micro transistors.

These kinds of glasses could create effects like fire eyes, or matrix letters going down your eyes.

That's the idea in a nut shell.  I believe that if you put a uv phosphor behind the polarization film of the contact lenses then you could also put an UV led on the glasses to make your eyes glow as well as be animated.

But the 3rd type of glasses lenses would be very expensive and complex compared to the simple LCD type but I think it would be worth it in the end, if you wanted glowing animated MKultra eyes.


What do you guys think of this Idea?  Is such a thing possible?

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Are superconductors perfect micro/radio wave mirrors?

« on: 26/05/2015 15:45:09 »

My question is pretty simple, are superconductors perfect mirrors for radio waves and microwaves?  you see these kinds of waves go right through regular mirrors and don't really reflect off of reflective surfaces like normal light does.  Radio/microwaves tend to reflect off of conductive surfaces  like copper and aluminum plates.  But some energy is absorbed by the conductive material do to it's resistance and turns into heat. regular mirrors also absorb some light because normal mirrors are not perfectly reflective.

But superconductors are perfectly conductive and thus should be perfectly reflective to very low frequency electromagnetic radiation.  Can you see why I think this? It seems pretty straight forward but I tried to google this question and didn't find much to confirm or deny this possibility.

But if indeed it is perfectly reflective then you could imagine the possibility of a microwave capacitor which might have huge energy storage capabilities.  heck you might have to come up with a new unit of measurement to identify this kind of energy storage. A new form of measurement similar to Farads but with electromagnetic radiation.  don't ask me why but I would name this new measurement  Bakers  []

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / What are your Ideas for new kinds of space ships?

             ◊Alternative space propulsion technology◊
                                     
                                      (light craft) link: http://science.howstuffworks.com/light-propulsion.htm

Lets face it, rockets are very old technology.  They are extremely expensive and not going to get humans out of the solar-system any time soon I personally think it's time to approach the issue of space travel from a different perspective. Nasa and other space agencies are thinking the same thing, and have been developing and testing "alternative means" to leave the earth and explore space.

New forms of space propulsion such as the "Ionic thruster" and "laser ship" (as well as others) are currently under development and are being tested. Though I do admit that these new forms of propulsion are still in their infancy and it will take decades before we see astronauts piloting anything other then a rocket.


I was just wondering if anybody on this forum has come up with a theoretical space craft of your own design which could possibly outdate the traditional rocket.

I don't know if you guys remember my "alternating polarization beam (APB)" idea I posted a wile back but that's my idea of a theoretical space propellant. If the beam worked then you could imagine 3 powerful APB lasers forming a triangle and in the middle all three beams would intersect and right below that area were the beams intersect would be a superconductor ship which would levitate on the beam's combined magnetic fields then all three beams would rise up at the same time taking the superconductor ship along with it all the way into space.

That's my theoretical space ship idea. Whats yours?

                          --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I Have presently been researching radio technology, I've been searching for a method to make wireless energy   possible.  through my research I Have come up with an experimental set up which in theory could make a type of "wireless power device" which could be used much like a wireless internet router to supply a healthy amount of wirless energy into an area the size of a room or house.

The Idea works works like a conventional microwave oven, which involves reflecting the microwaves in a "mirror box configuration" in-order to "enclose" the waves and concentrate them inside the box.

My Idea Is similar to A microwave oven in that respect.  My Idea involves painting the interior of a room/house with a conductive paint and have a powerful radio transmitter somewhere inside the room/house throwing out large amounts of radio energy, the radio waves should be mostly trapped inside the house, the paint on all the walls, floors and ceiling acting like a Faraday cage allowing the most of the radio energy to be trapped and concentrated in a small area.

The high powered radio waves can be used by devices like computers, cellphones, tvs and other utilities to supply electrical energy witlessly by inducing a current into an antenna.

Imagine this being your house.


You could imagine the whole house being coated with conductive ink, it's everywhere, on the ceiling under the floors and on every inch of the walls,  heck you might even be able to coat the windows with conductive indium tin oxide.
you can think of this "conductive shell" much like the thermal insulation of a house.  The better your house is coated in conductivity the more efficient your wireless power transfer system will work.  It might even be possible to recapture some unused radio energy in a feed back loop system were some energy can be absorbed by a radio antenna and fed back-into the wireless power system.

I would also like to note that making the conductive shell can be done in a variety of ways which might prove to be cheaper and more efficient at containing the radio waves in the room or house, for example during construction of a house  conductive sheets of aluminum wire can be placed behind drywall or you could install conductive wallpapers made of mylar all over the place,  the point is that as long as your contained inside a conductive box you should do fine, heck you could put up a conductive dome over your house and get the same effect.

The safety hazards of high radio are a concern though, there can be health risks associated with being exposed to high powered radio fields but I don't know much about what will happen to a guy if he lives inside a radio-wave oven.  [|)]

I Want to create a system like this so that in the future all of your wireless devices can always remain powered up when inside of your house or inside a restaurant or store.

That's this Idea of mine in a nut shell, what are your thoughts on this Idea, do you think it could work?

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Are a lot of small superconductors better then one big one?

« on: 07/04/2015 13:35:20 »

If you know anything about superconductors then you would know that it's only skin deep, the so called penetration depth is were most of the quantum action happens.

This is what I want to know, are a lot of thin layered superconductors better then just one big superconductor in terms of Meissener effect levitation strength? 

lets say I make one large superconductor disk about an inch in diameter which is an inch thick.

next I make 4 other superconductor disks which are 1 inch in diameter and  1/4 of an inch thick each.  I layer the 4 thin superconductors on top of each other...

If I pour liquid N2 on the samples and levitated magnets with weights on them which would hold more weight?

Geology, Palaeontology & Archaeology / What are your thoughts on the philosipher's stone?

« on: 09/03/2015 09:34:58 »

The stone which is like the holy grail of chemistry and material science.



The legendary wizard rock!  A stone which could turn one element into another, the stone which is said to contain incredible energy and much much more.

It's not supposed to be a naturally forming rock, It's supposed to be a synthetic crystal who's color is supposed to be blood red.  But I don't think that's what a philosopher stone was, I think it was a naturally occurring unstable element.

I know this is a science form and not a magic one but hear me out.  The art of transmutation is real, we call it nuclear physics today.  There are materials which trans-mutate into other elements and materials which can make stable elements trans-mutate.

In fact I would say based on the description of the philosopher's stone that the stone is a neutron emitting crystal which would have the power to convert lead into gold via neutron capture and beta decay.

it would not surprise me if medieval humans conducted crude nuclear physics experiments with naturally occurring radioactive elements.  For example, uranium is mined in some parts of Europe, what if some medieval people came across some of that stuff and thought it was magical? similar illogical reasoning was used when magnetite was discovered in the distant past.  Imagine what people in those days would think if people were mysteriously killed, burned or made very sick after being exposed to the these kinds of stones for long periods, unknowingly receiving lethal amounts of radiation and saying that it was do to the "magical effects of the stone/crystal".

But that's just my thoughts on the subject.

What do you think?

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Can a photonic Magnet be made?

« on: 08/03/2015 05:55:31 »

                 The Creation Of A New Type Of Magnetism

    ~The Photon Magnet~

             

I am making this post because I have come up with an experiment that will theoretically create a "Photon magnet" which means that the experimental set up would create a beam of electromagnetic radiation (microwaves) which generate a magnetic field which would be capable of attracting or repelling objects much like a conventional fridge magnet.   The device in the experiment would create a "microwave tractor beam" that would effect ferro, para and dia magnetic materials, attracting them or repelling them.

If this experiment works then it could lead to tractor beams capable of magnetically levitating objects from great distances.  As well as a lot of other awesome applications.

THE EXPERIMENT

In order to understand the way this experiment works you need to know a bit about "microwave optics" "The Faraday effect" and how "Interferometry" works.  This experiment utilizes a microwave interferometer. to split a polarized microwave beam and cause the beam to interfere with itself.  When dealing with microwave optics, copper plates are used in the place of mirrors and things like bakelite can act like a half silvered mirror used for splitting the microwaves.

along one arm of the split beam's path is a Faraday effect coil that acts a lot like a liquid crystal and causes the microwave's polarity plane to shift at 90 degrees.

when the Faraday effect coil is turned on the microwave's polarity is shifted, making the microwaves stop interfering with each other when the 2 beams meet back up.  The Idea is to pulse the Faraday effect coil at 2 times the frequency of the microwave beam so that the wave crest is in a different polarity from the wave trough.

This will cause only the wave crests to interfere with each-other destructively or constructively (it dose not matter).  The end result is a beam of microwaves which dose not have equal wave crest and trough amplitudes, meaning that the microwave now has a net magnetic field.

This super rapid polarization shifting of the microwave is what makes this possible. You shift the polarization so rapidly that wave crests and wave troughs are in different polarization planes.  then you interfere that wave with it's split counter part inorder to cause interference but the wave can only interfere with half of the wave because the other half of the wave is in a different polarization.

This would not be possible with ordinary light simply because of it's high frequency, it's not like you can alternate an electromagnet at such huge frequencies, but microwaves and radio waves are a different story, you can more easily alternate a coil at those frequencies.  plus the Faraday effect works better at lower frequencies making it easier to twist microwaves in the coil then regular light.

lastly I wonder if this is all possible or not, that's were you guys come in and do what you do best.   [|)]

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Is magnetic flight possible?

« on: 05/02/2015 11:52:23 »

I saw this video and realized that this craft must have been using a high powered magnetic field for some reason and it inspired me to ask this question. Is magnetic/electromagnetic flight possible?

I mean to say is it possible to "magnetically levitate" an aircraft far into the sky like an airplane?

Take a look at the video as an example

If you look carefully, the water forms a concave hole in the water before the craft even touches it, indicating a high powered magnetic field.  You see ocean water is conductive and when the high powered magnetic field which is surrounding the craft came close to the water at high speed it induced an electrical current into the water called an eddy current which caused the electrified water to produce a magnetic field in such a way that the water became repelled by the ship's magnetic field pushing it downward.

this video shows the effect, it's a type of "induction"

If that conductive solid in the second video was replaced by a conductive liquid such as salt water, it would cause a dip or hole to occur in the liquid which is what was seen in the video. But that's besides the point, the point is that this craft may have a magnetic field around it and that it's propulsion may depend on it.

Let's just say it was real, how could it possibly work? How could any form of magnetic/electric aircraft work?

I can only speculate, so can all who read this. so don't take these words too seriously.  It's just a fun science topic.

Technology / Will radio replace the energy grid?

« on: 21/11/2014 14:27:39 »

Will Radio Replace The Energy Grid?

                                     

It is a well known fact that radio and tv towers broadcast information through "waves of energy" called  radio waves and sometimes called microwaves. But most people don't realize that these waves are made of useable electro-magnetic energy that can be taken right out of the air and used to power things.

But radio towers are not designed to power things, they are designed to transmit just enough power for a signal to be received. Only fractions of a watt are meant to be received a few miles away from the transmitting tower. But could it be possible to transmit huge amplitudes of radio waves into the air to actually power things? I mean to say can a radio tower broadcast enough watts into the air to be picked up by an antenna and used to power a machine from radio waves alone?   

Imagine a radio tower not designed to transmit information, instead it would be designed to transmit power to a whole city. the only difference between a regular radio tower and a "power tower" would be the amplitude of the waves transmitted.  in fact the tower's antenna would be the same size as it would still transmit the same frequencies as regular radio towers. But the antenna transmitting the power would have to carry unimaginably powerful currents at high frequencies causing all the current to concentrate near the surface making a thicker antenna useless, it would melt any normal antenna.

But I wonder if it would  be possible to transmit super strong radio waves with a superconductive antenna perhaps made of niobium tin or YBCO wires/tape or pipes.

Imagine a superconductive antenna broadcasting ridiculously powerful radio waves at around 45Mhz so that the ionosphere can reflect the waves far and wide.  With the power of the waves I speak of, the entire world would be able to pick up the signal and all someone would  have to do is use the proper  antenna to pick up electrical power just like any other radio signal.  Imagine how the world  would  change because of such an invention, power lines might become obsolete and cellphones may never die, cars might never have to refuel and blackouts would  be  a thing of the past.    The trillion dollar failing and fragile power grid would simply be  taken down and used for scrap. No more ugly power lines anywhere. Oil and gasoline would  die out too, because it would be cheaper to use an electric car that powers up on  super strong radio waves.  Heck maybe this idea  can salve "the energy crisis"

A question which many have posed is how would you meter power consumption?  The answer to that is  you can't, instead you would have to pay taxes on the towers  construction and the power they transmit as well as the construction of the power plants which produce the power the towers transmit instead of paying an electric bill.  But because it's power transmission is wireless it would require much less maintenance the and money to distribute the energy.  so your "electric tax" would be far less then your electric bill now, because it cost far less to get that power to you.  Now it cost trillions for power lines to distribute energy to the people of the world (and power lines constantly break) costing even more money to maintain and set up.  Radio power is Many times cheaper to distribute energy then today's energy grid.

         

Plus radio towers of all shapes and sizes already exist, it wouldn't take much to modify just one of them  with a super conductive quantum antenna and toss in a high power supply. It could start with just one tower and it wouldn't even have to be all that powerful, if it could supply around just 2 or so watts to people in a big city then just that would power things like cellphones forever in that area and start a  revolution that will take the world by storm.  But this Idea is not without danger, as it gives enormous power to the central government, monetary and electrical power. It may also have strange effects on the ionosphere which might cause changes in weather patterns world wide.

The "FCC" would have a problem with this idea for some reason, according to them no radio station can be over 10,000 watts, a weak power tower would require at least a mega watt to supply useable radio power for miles. (under direct violation of law) but you have to question why that is a law in the first place.

What do you think of this Idea?

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Isn't this my Idea?

I've been talking about radiation shields on this forum for quite a long time


The European space agency recently came up with exactly what I posted here many times in the past.
a superconducting space radiation shield.

Take a look at this video: http://www.universetoday.com/108728/can-a-mega-magnetic-field-protect-astronauts-from-radiation/

They are talking about putting a superconducting magnet on a space ship as means of protecting the astronauts from space radiation.

I was just thinking of what else such a device could  be used for.  If for example you were to have a  magnetic field around your ship like the scientist in the video proposes then could you use it as a way of creating artificial gravity? I mean, if you were wearing a small amount of iron on a ship with a superconducting magnet on board then wouldn't you be  attracted to the magnet strongly? imagine if the superconducting magnet was under the floor of the crews quarters and the crew wore metallic jumpsuit uniforms which have  small amounts of ferromagnetic material in them. would that give the crew  a  type  of  "magnetic gravity" allowing them  to walk around in zero gravity.

or perhaphs you  could  use the shield as a way of storing energy  like a battery.  superconducting magnets have been used in the past as mega batteries, storing energy as magnetism. They are usually called "superconducting magnetic energy storage systems".

Another thing I wanted to mention was if  it  would be possible for the mega magnetic field to be used as a means of collecting power from solar radiation.  Much like  the way the earth creates aurora lights by bending ionized radiation to the magnetic poles of the planet, would the ship's  mega magnet create it's own auroras around it's  magnetic poles?  the way  I understand it, the magnet will bend alpha particles to the north pole and beta particles to the south creating 2 oppositely  charged areas on opposite sides of  the ship.  could you  use those 2  oppositely  charged areas as electrodes feeding a  battery?  It seems like you could collect quite a lot of energy that way especially during a solar storm.

Can you see these things being possible?  If all this can be possible then I wonder what else can be possible.

Technology / Can you help me with an Electrochromic project?

Electro-chromic clothing



I Am trying to make a hoodie which has electro-chromic properties.  It's purpose is to make simple neon sign type animations on the hoodie's surface with electro-chromic ink.  The Idea is Similar
electro-luminescent clothing but with less power requirements and without the glow.

I want the hoodie to look normal, without any obvious electronics sticking out. as far as I know electrochromics are incredibly energy efficient and use only about 1.5 volts.

this video should give you some more information about electrochromics and may help you guys understand what I want to do. 

Now that you know a little about what I plan to do, I was wondering exactly how I was going to pull this off.  From what I can tell, the way the electro chromic effect usually works is by sandwiching an electro-chromic chemical film between 2 transparent electrodes then applying a voltage.

But I was thinking of an alternative technique which may or may not work, from what I can see the electro-chromic effect occurs when the chromic chemical becomes Ionized. The reason why sandwiching it between electrodes causes it to change colors is because that arrangement ionizes the chemical like a capacitor.

  What if the the hoodie was made from a good triboelectric staticy material like polyester then the material became statically charged, would the electrochromic material activate in the presence of a common static electric field then deactivate by a static discharge?

Could I simply put some electrochromic ink on the hoodie then rub my socks on a carpet to make it appear then touch a door nob to get it to disappear?

Basically the Idea is to connect the hoodie to a static electricity generator, would this work or not?

I wonder if it's possible to do this in such a way that you don't constantly get static shocks, But I think that you could perhaps make the static field generator so weak that you would barely feel any static discharge when you touched things yet the electric field would still be strong enough on the surface of the hoodie to activate the sensitive electro-chromic ink. what do you think of this Idea?
