GE holographic storage disks are the size and weight of a DVD and hold 500 GB. A stack of 50 DVDs weighs about 1 KG (a bit less without the spindle and cover, but let's go with it). A stack of 50 holographic disks would hold 25 TB. 40 stacks of 50 would hold 1 PB and weigh 40 KG. Not in production, but in working prototype.

Vapor/patentware but interesting: http://colossalstorage.net/3d_holo.htm
40,000 terabits (5 petabytes) per cubic centimeter of a ferroelectric optical perovskite, specific gravity 4 give or take a fraction. 1 PB would be around a gram.
 

Since my patents predate all, by licnesing my patents, Cheaply, her patent threat goes away.

Sir, I invented the concept back in 1983. No one back then would believe it would work. I talked
to all the companies in storage at that time.

My nanotechnology will blow this technology out of the water ! With >>>>Petabytes !

The will still have the same s/r problems at the densities and won't prevent super paramagnetic limit.

Just another bandaid to prevent the death of magnetics.

IBM of late has made a move into spintronic atomic storage with IBM's Parkins new approach, referred to as "racetrack memory". Its interesting to note that pancake motors, electric field generators, etc. all use the concept of creating strong EMF fields by subatomic particles moving through serial wires. Not only will there be increased EMF, heat and energy needs of the device but when the wire develops an open in any wire there goes the memory device. High stray EMF magnetic fields could also pose a health problem to users as well as other electronics in the circuit. How does IBM propose handling the EMF crosstalk between wires possibly effecting neighboring wires data ? These and many other question need to be answered before this technology can be said to be reliable holding a customers data.

Sirs,

My theory entanglement of atoms over fiber eventually without fibers was for the first time
verified. UM concept and my own published many years ago applies directly to my patents.

We are in secret test bed proof on many of my nanotechnology concepts.

Regards,

Michael

This flash albeit published years ago by another inventor shows how the concept will work using ferroelectrics, silicon,etc. using phosphor as a visual data agent.

I've been thinking of this actually, if you designed a filesystem based on a linked list system and had a HD technology that could write more than 50Tb then you would never need to delete anything. Think tiny dots on a piece of paper, how many billions of dots do you think you could fit on a pad of legal fullscap? HD tech is really slow, perhaps removing the nescessity to erase it would remove the limiting factor.

Unless extremely high capacity storage devices with much higher bandwidth transfers aren't developed the prediction will come true.

Today's disk drive, Blu-Ray, HD-DVD, and Inphase Holographic Storage are
too small in data capacity and stagnant in their data transfers.

We new some new evolutionary or revolutionary storage technology.

8 years ago Michael Thomas patented a read write head for 40,000 Terabits cu.cm. using ferroelectrics on a 2d / 3d 3.5 optical disk drive. UV Photon induced electric field poling of a ferroelectric molecule called an optical / molecular / atomic switch.

If you look at the "published papers" on the Colossalstorage site, all of them are essentially press releases or unreferreed presentations at conferences, etc. I don't see one single peer-reviewed publication in a respectable scientific journal.

A far better reference to provide to the grandparent (who is also mistaken, in a different way) is simply the wikipedia entry.

The idea of quantum cryptography is that you have some form of signal sent both ways that only the receivers can receive, since it can't be tapped in the middle due to detected signal loss and single-atomic-unit transmissions being measured. It's pointless, because anything the actual receiver can do, I can do too, and anything the actual receiver can't do I can't do either.

Eeeehh... Quantum entaglment encryption isn't that simple.

Here is a site by Colossalstorage that explains one of the patents involved in it:

http://colossalstorage.net/entangled.htm

To give a layman's translation... You take two photons and entagle them and then send them down two fiber optic line of the same length (say 4km) and then a device on each end determines which direction the spin is.

Since the spin is the same for the particles regardless of how far apart they are (no information being transfered faster than the speed of light) they have a reference of what the other party is seeing.

Now of course particle spin is random, but the key factor is knowing what the other party is seeing.

Now, you can use the spin as a one time pad and basically encrypt everything based off this... Or rather changes are you'll need another method of communication such as having the actual encrypted data on another fiber line and knowing the spin of the photon gives you the key to unencrypt it.

Now if someone spliced the fiber line, you instantly know it has been comprised because data no longer unencrypts because the particle spin changed on observation and chances are unless the eves dropper has the ability to observe particle spin he might not get much useful data either.

First, this is not a dis against InPhase. If they are able to release it to market, I salute them. I wish they can get this released, as it would be a major boon to the computing community as a whole for backups.

Holographic storage announcements seem to be popping up every so often, with a release date later that year. However it never arrives. For example, Tamarack had a product in the early 90s, made some very good announcements... then never heard anything from them publically.

Hopefully someone will release a reliable, rugged, decently fast holographic storage system, but I sometimes wonder if Duke Nukem Forever and perhaps a sequel will be released before anything like the "terabyte on a card" ever hits the consumer market.

His website is an effort to garner finance basically. He is looking for Ph.D. employees who he *might* be able to employ once he has finance. And I suppose he'd expect the Doctors (Doctors Who?) to answer all his questions for him.

His 'inventions' are pipe dreams than he hasn't solved yet.
Strange that he would let his cat out of his bag.

Michael E. Thomas has invented and patented the world's first and only concept for non-contact UV photon induced electric field poling of ferroelectric non-linear photonic bandgap crystals...

Looks legitamate to me.

It is a simple question of getting your entangled particle encryption to spin your atomic holographic optical nanostorage drive in an accredited OLED Display_n_Store handheld device reader, thus creating standing quantum waves in the ferroelectric perovskite molecules. With sufficient surface conduction, why, you could induce resonant absorption excitation via plasmon photonic bandgap crystals. Just think of high-k dipole dielectric material that can then be made reversible with non-dissipative power, all thanks to the Einstein / Plank theorem of Energy Quantum!

This unique nanotechnology will set the stage for the 5 exabytes of new data generated every year world wide and growing through molecular dissociation.

This assumes, of course, that you have a capacitor of sufficient size to handle 1.21 jigawatts of flux.

with entangled particles this could someday be possible. http://colossalstorage.net/home_entangled.htm

Using current and voltage and kirkoff's law is non secured and the
inventor obviosly doesnt understand what is involved to have 100 %
secured communication.

He is an idea by an inventor that has a better chance of succeeding.

Step it up a few magnitudes. Entangled Particle Communication.

Any truth to this?

Welcome to the web site of the early 1990s!

Now, this is way out of my league, as IANAQP, but this sounds psuedo-scientific to me. Am I wrong?

Also, check their R&D unknowns.

http://www.colossalstorage.net/ -- it's pretty ghetto, in a circa 1996 sort of way. Animated GIFs abound.

Do you post this shit on every article having anything to do with space flight? You are a fucknugget.

Nasa fastest time are 25,000 mile/hr or 3.9 miles/sec

Besides the fact that 25000mph is 6.9mps, that sentence is so grammatically incorrect it makes me laugh. Just like the ridiculous colossalstorage.net website (for which you failed to give a link), which is also full of poorly written English and screwed-up copies of news posts on other sites.

To boot (no pun intended), there's a cute discussion of power consumption by disk drives which gives figures of watts/minute and watts/hour. Anyone who is planning to outdo all the physicists in the world
in the field of space propulsion needs to at least learn the proper units to measure energy and power.
