Folded Newtonian Telescope

johanneswilm writes "Michael Fallwell has figured out a way to overcome many of the problems of traditional telescope construction - making it way more compact and economical. And the whole thing is completely portable and achieves accuracy down to one or two millionths of an inch across an 18 inch surface!"

  1. Flaw in the design. by Samuel+Duncan · · Score: -1, Troll

    Due to the folded design the quantum fields of the photons interfere and the optical resolution will be reduced. You get basically a standing photonic waves between the mirrors. Due to non-elatic reflection (the mirrors eat up some energy) the visual output is reduced. Furthermore with his design you'll get problems watching object which omit mainly red light - the mirror absorption is highest there.

  4. Michael Fallwell? by illuminata · · Score: -1, Troll

    Hallelujah. I bet he plans on using this technology that he's developed to spy on homosexuals. He probably just doesn't want any faggy innuendos in the media or God letting terrorist attacks slip through the cracks because of it. Now, he has them by the balls (in a non-gay way), they can't get around this 'scope, baby!

    The design looks a bit silly to me. I think he's probably watching a bit too much Puppetry of the Penis. But, he'd never admit to watching that kind of queer shit, even if he was!
