      @Exodus26.13Pi หลายเดือนก่อน

      ⭕ God told Moses on Mt. Sinai to use Pi 3.14 π as the cornerstone to build the Wilderness Tabernacle in 1440 BC. In 94 AD Josephus the historian wrongly described it as rectangular-shaped. Exodus 25-26-27 blueprints build a circular-shaped hendecagon outer courtyard. What is superior, the bible or confirmed secular/ecumenical history?
      330 Exodus 26:8 eleven curtains each 30 cubits long
      15 Exodus 26:12 one curtain is folded in half to 15 cubits long
      - 1 Exodus 26:13 curtain hang over/seams add to 1 cubit long
      = 314
      3.14 = 314 circumference/100 diameter ≈ π ratio (100 cubit court per Exodus 27:9-18)
      .................
      Is this discovery like the Dead Sea Scrolls or even Martin Luther's 95 Theses? How did we miss this for 1900 years and does it even matter anymore? Pi is 3 or 3.14... very small difference.
      ..................
      History of finding π:
      -(1900-1680 BC) Babylonian 3.125 for π
      -(1650 BC) Egyptians gave the approximate value of π 3.1605
      -(1440 BC) Moses recorded Pi in the Exodus blueprints 3.141592653... Exodus 26:13 ≈ Pi
      -(500 BC) India's Aryabhata approximation was 62,832/20,000, or 3.141
      -(429-501 BC) Zu Chongzhi a Chinese mathematician 3.1415926 - 3.1415927
      -(250 BC) Archimedes from Syracuse showed between 3.1408 and 3.1429
      .................
      More than a thousand years removed Josephus did NOT know Exodus 26:13 approximated Pi. He was describing the Temple's structure and NOT, and NOT the Tabernacle from Exodus 25-26-27. See?
      Pi is coded in your DNA.
      Consider King Josiah & the Prophetess Huldah rediscovering the forgotten scriptures, right? Will Pharaoh let this go? Almost 3500 years ago "Exodus 26:13 ≈ Pi" was lost on Mt. Nebo when Moses died. How will religious and non-religious acknowledge this systemic seed-changing paradigm shift? We going back in time in real-time to change history to line up the Word as it should've been.
      Moses recorded Pi 1000 years before Archimedes from Syracuse's Pi. Everyone including myself rejects this text/arithmetic until studied personally. Please use consistent hermeneutics along with the scientific method for our non-religious friends. After confirmation please repent then rejoice. Please remember this is God's big tent.

    The one way glass is similar to cutting peppers. If you put a trimmed piece of a pepper down on a cutting board with the skin side up and try to cut it, it will deform and squish and only a very sharp knife will actually cut through the skin. If you put the same pepper down with the skin side down, the knife slices right through with little resistance. It's the same deal, a hard layer on one side and a soft layer on the other.

    Some bulletproof glass is constructed in 3 layers, but the high end stuff is usually at least 5 layers most of which are actually tempered glass with a special coating of adhesive that is strong like polycarbonate. The glass is actual glass though in most cases, because glass is the best at breaking the bullet apart while the polycarbonate backing deforms to catch the broken up round.

If you want level 4+ protection you'll need more than 2 layers, even with the thicker 2.5 inch layers. Can you make a stronger 2 layer design? Yes, but each layer is going to be so thick, it would be smarter and weigh less to just add more layers. I don't doubt it exists, but a 2 layer is never going to be more practical than 5

    Starlite is an ablative coating, to block thermal heat. The basic recipe has been reverse engineered by chemists, some of which are on youtube:
    * Something that forms carbon (sugar for example)
    * Something that produces gas when heated (baking soda or borax also called sodium tetraborate)
    The heat causes the sugar to form into carbon which is hard to burn or oxidize, and the gas released from the second gas forming compound makes it into a foam which is non-conductive. What we get is a somewhat non conductive foam that gets thicker as more heat is applied upon it.
    Starlite may be more advanced, but it exists in a group of compounds called ablative coatings, and it is possible it was never bought because those existed before, and after, the man's invention. No one bought it because someone probably explained that it was not that special, or even it if was, it only had specific use cases
    To someone who has never seen an ablative coating, it looks amazing. To someone who knows what an ablative coating is, already knows the limitations of those materials, and why this product may not replace other similar coatings.
    Regardless the man's invention is impressive if it was non-toxic and could be applied that thinly.

    Starlite worked as advertised, but it also has a very short effective life. You can't just coat something in it and it's heat proof forever. Or even a year for that matter. It's effective life is only a few months at best. Still very impressive, but not as cool as it is generally touted. (no pun intended)

      ​@@streetguru9350It wasn't just heat, and heat wouldn't give that much inertia. The experiment has been repeated numerous times by others. The air is transferring its inertia to the sail as it bounces off. That counteracts the force from the fan moving the air to begin with. But the air then bounces back, and under Newton's Third Law, it imparts a force on the sail. The result is that the boat gets a net increase in inertia, moving it in the direction of the fan's airflow.cIt is far less efficient than taking down the sail and pointing the fan backwards, but it does work. (There are other nuances surrounding interactions between the reflected air and the new air from the fan, as well as air not reflected straight back, but that gets beyond what works in a YT comment.)

      @Hevach 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The results are really weird, though, because actually set up in ways that should produce no thrust (including removing the microwave emitter and replacing it with a big resistor) still produced the same thrust. Flipping it around but not rotating the test harness made it work backwards. Rotating the drive and test harness 90 degrees made it stop generating thrust at all.
      Two have been sent to space. One generated no detectable thrust and the other was recently abandoned without being properly tested due to power and communication issues with the cubesat bus it was mounted on. Rogue Space Systems called the mission a success but that seems to be mostly for investor relations purposes because literally no aspect of the satellite seems to have worked properly.

      Now the funny thing is, that this is not an Aprils fool video. There truly does exist one way bulletproof glass, nitinol and hydrophobic sand. And the EM drive have really been constructed, but as he said in the video, it's sadly doesn't work, bc if it did, we could theoretically get infinite acceleration without breaking the third law of thermodynamics and the theory of relativity, which states that the closer you get to light speed, the more mass and energy you need, meaning at lightspeed, you would need infinite mass and energy. But with the EM drive, it doesn't accelerate by creating thrust, meaning we could achieve infinite speed, which of course would be far greater than the speed of light. It would have been awesome if it actually worked, then getting around the Universe would suddenly become possible with the tech we have right now. Damn you Newton for inventing thermodynamics and Newton for inventing relativity, that the Universe suddenly had to follow.

    Nitinol does _not_ need to be formed at time of creating the "alloy". You can change its austenitic shape at/above roughly 500°C. Its melting point is over 1300°C so there's a solid margin to work with.
    500°C is a temperature most people can reach with simple tools, so you don't have to stick with the sold-as shapes. Actually handling it at 500°C can be more challenging, so a common practice is to have it firmly fixed when in its martensite state at room temperature, in a way so that it can't move when you heat it up between reaching the austenite state (where it would "revert to its original shape"), and reaching 500°C(+).
    Just beware when working out a way to fix it in a shape, especially with thicker material - that since nitinol is an intermetallic superelastic compound, the amount of force by which it will attempt to revert to its "original shape" can be _very_ strong.

    A material that looks and acts like starlite can be made from household materials. By heating this material, and most likely starlite, with a torch, the material forms a carbon foam. Carbon foam is very heat resistant and will not burn. The reason starlite was never commercially feasible is that starlite produced a carbon foam that was not very durable. Starlite produced a carbon foam that would last for only a single use and was easily damaged.
    A carbon foam that is is durable and easily shaped is now made from a flour and yeast based dough that is heated in a vacuum to prevent oxidation.

    I used to sell so-called "bullet-proof" glass. The product is called Lexan and has been used everywhere and was invented in 1953, well before 1982. And the bullet-proof qualities depend on a multitude of factors, not the least of which are the thickness of the Lexan and the caliber being used to fire at it. This stuff is used everywhere. I sold it primarily to manufacturing facilities that had areas where parts and pieces had the potential of splintering, exploding, flying apart, etc and injuring production workers nearby. It works and is effective - for its intended application.

    The EM (not M) drive was disproven a couple of years back by the Institute of Aerospace Engineering in Dresden, Germany. An experimental apparatus that eliminated thermal interaction with the surrounding area was designed and testing was done on multiple devices from 2015-2021. And the device consistently failed to produce any thrust. So it appears that all the false positives were a result of thermal distortion of the chamber interacting with the environment, something that would not be available in space.

It's called the "IVO drive" and we don't know much about how it's supposed to operate because unlike EMDrive which was released to the public the owners of IVO have played tight to the chest. As best as I can tell from rumors it's supposed to accelerate "virtual particles" caused by vacuum fluctuations, while EMDrive was supposed to work by getting asymmetrical thrust by bouncing microwaves around a cavity (turned out to be experimental error).
      As you note there was a failure of testing as they supposedly lost communication soon after deploy.

    The debate around the EM drive has absolutely not been put to rest. The primary team working on it has it producing enough thrust right now to counteract 1G. That’s right. According to them, they have it levitating. These are NASA scientists and aerospace experts, not quacks. Let’s all withhold judgement on this for a while. There could be some new physics we don’t understand. Perhaps a 5th fundamental force that interacts with electromagnetism or a relationship between gravity and EM we weren’t aware of. They are planning on taking this device up into space to see how it behaves.

    The bullet proof glass one is very easy to picture, because most physics actually do work like that. Everything moves towards its area of least resistance, so No1 is very common. It's the main reason that people say that time has an arrow. The M drive would only need to work with the resistance of space, because space does have resistance. Matter eliminates resistance, but if you can move the resistance to the back of matter you have an M drive. Newton's 3rd law is full of mistakes.

      Real bullet proof glass are usually 1 of 2 types of materials 1: Lexans not good for cars and trucks and SUVs ect as it's lighter than glass at the same thickness (say 5mm thick glass is heavier than 5mm thick Lexan by a fair amount) but easy damaged by dust and dirt.. 2: 20mm thick toughened glass made of several 5mm thick glass panels glued together with opposing grain of the laminate.. (each glass panel is laminated both sides and depending on how bullet proof you need depends on the thickness and the laminate is applied in opposing directions).. Lexan is better because it's not fragile on any of the sides or the edges where toughened glass is super strong and shatter proof on each side but really easy to explode it if the edges are nicked or rubbed on concrete when you put it down!! It's why you need cardboard or carpet or something soft to rest it on or lay it face down (but that causes scratches) Lexan doesn't have that vulnerability but Lexan isn't good for car windows because it very quickly becomes foggy and is easily scratched by dust particles and becomes yellow in the sun after some short amount of time so it's no good for something that must stay clear for perfect vision. When toughened glass will always be clear and hard to scratch from dust and dirt roads but if the edges get damaged it can and will explode like a glass shrapnel bomb in your face!! I know this as I used to install commercial toughened glass automatic doors and security doors ect and I have had a handful of panels explode in my face on installation from it touching the ground on a edge.. it's also way way way more expensive than Lexan.. Lexan is good for conditions where you don't need it to be clear but need a light weight shield and glass is for conditions where you need it as clear as possible and it's 100% secure around all edges so no sand or abrasive particles can touch it.
