  1. Re:Near Light Speed Propulsion Engine Unveiled on New Ion Engine Enters Space Race · · Score: 1

    Forgot to mention there are no gas stations out in space and the Ion Engine just like an automobile needs
    refilling.

    Poor concept that I think will hurt man's exploration into space.

  2. Near Light Speed Propulsion Engine Unveiled on New Ion Engine Enters Space Race · · Score: 1

    The plasm engine is old stuff with the propulsion power of 1 feather !

    Copied from Corporation for Space Transportation Website :

    This propulsion technology supplements its nuclear power by using renewable free electrons from space for continued 24 x 7 electron propulsion.

    The Space Shuttle using an Advanced Electric Propulsion Linear Electron Beam Particle Accelerator (LINAC) for light speed electron particle propulsion using the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect and Birkeland currents is a unique concept. The shuttle would have the capability of paying all of its expenses for the first time !

    Dr. Steve Schaefer, Ph.D. Princeton University (Physics), "Calculates if X = 4.3 light-years, then T = 3.6 years. Dozens of stars could be reached in five to six years. In fact, a traveler could even go the Andromeda galaxy (2,000,000 light years) in under 29 years (Ship Time in Years) if a constant acceleration could be maintained." Also see Dr. Carlos I. Calle, PhD, NASA senior research scientist, below on page.

    Dr. Schaefer calculates, "If the total distance is X, then the total travel time T is given by expression

    X / 2 = (c 2 / g) [cosh (0.5 g T / c) - 1] : T = (2 c / g) cosh -1(1 + 0.5 g X / c 2) "

    The NLS propulsion technology has been peer reviewed by several physicists as being valid technology following Newton's and Einstein's laws using invariant mass propulsion.

    Present Day Solid Rocket Exhaust is 1,000 to 4,000 m/s with 10^3 N to 10^7 N thrust and a firing duration of minutes.

    The Proposed NLS Propulsion uses 300,000,000 metres per second electrons with 1 N to 1x10^6 N thrust and a firing duration of years - decades and capable of developing > 50,000 hp.

    The cost per pound for current Chemical Rocket technology is $ 2,000 to $ 27,000 dollars per launch. This generally runs into hundreds of millions of dollars per launch as verified by the industry.

    A future spacecraft, using technologies that we haven't even dreamed of, may use an engine that could sustain a constant acceleration of 1 g until the ship reaches relativistic speeds. With such an engine, a trip even to Andromeda may be possible within a human lifetime. "Einstein For Dummies", By Dr. Carlos I. Calle, PhD, NASA senior research scientist Pub. Date: June 2005, ISBN: 978-0-7645-8348-3, Pages: 384 Pages.

    Several possible trips on a ship constantly accelerating at 1 g. The figure for "Distance in Light-Years" is also the time that would pass on Earth while the ship traveled to its destination.

    Also has a webpage discussing Mars colony.

  9. Rebuttal to Technology on Inventor of GMR Bids To Shake Up Storage, Again · · Score: 1

    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.

  15. Phase Change = Chalcogenide = Ferroelectrics - on Disk Drives Face Challenge From Chips · · Score: 1

    Ferroelectric phase change densities of .2 to .5 Petabits = 200 to 500 Terabits sq. in. / 40 Petabits = 40,000 to 100 Petabits = 100,000 Terabits cu.cm. or 200,000 to 500,000 Gigabits sq.in. / 40,000,000 to 100,000,000 Gigabits cu.cm. with symmetrical read / write times of 160 picoseconds for 100 year non-volatile storage having infinite rewrites.

    Normally the 1.3 to 5 nanometer molecule can switch at 160 picoseconds while maintaining non-destructive readout of ferroelectric bistable properties at a 5 nanometer cell size.

    This is not the end by any means as Tohoku University says their target is 4 Petabits a sq. in or 375,000 Terabits cu. cm. using a .4 nanometer cell size.
    Ferromagnetic - Magnetic disk drive have the next highest density at 50 Terabits sq. cm., The Super Paramagnetic Limit. This density is a particle size prediction ( 10 nm ) where the real operational density is more around 1 Terabits sq. cm. as 50 nanoparticles are needed per 1 data bit cell ( ~ 500 nm ). Perpendicular orientation recording will only delay this dead end a few years at most.

    Ferroelectrics will not use complex wiring schemes that have impedance, heat, and reliability problems but instead will exceed any storage devices proposed and would enable a storage density of more than 100,000 terabits per cubic centimeter. A ferroelectric storage drive device the size of an iPod nano or 3.5 inch drive could hold enough MP3 music to play for 300,000 years without repeating a song or enough DVD quality video to play movies for 10,000 years without repetition.
