Just as an FYI, I've worked on that site in Henderson. It was not a marshmellow plant and the explosion had nothing to do with liquid oxygen. It was a manufacturing facility for ammonium perchlorate (An oxidizer in solid rocket fuel) owned by AMPAC (then PEPCON). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammoniu...ite_propellant They now operate a cutting edge biological in-situ treatment facility there to protect the vegas wash (Common name for the aquifer that feeds Lake Mead from the Vegas side) from the perchlorate dissolved in the groundwater as a result of the explosion, pretty cool stuff, IMO. |

There are a few fusion experiments a high schooler could actually create. None of them generate more power than they're consuming, of course, but they're still fusion, and that's pretty sweet.

None of them are cold fusion. That would be like inventing pixy dust and flying to never never land.

Also, it's commonly known that all engineering projects are group work so don't claim YOU built something when it's a team effort. |

I got a lot of help from http://www.fusor.net/, A place where other people, like me, who have managed to creat some in their backyard. Also, in sub atmospheric conditions to where you control the atmoshpere through a vaccum... Temperatures can get nuts. Look at this article, basically he was my 'mentor'. http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pitt.../s_633276.html "Contained temperatures easily can top 10 million degrees. Voltages used to power up can reach 50,000 volts or more" I used 75,000 Volts Also, i will claim that it was not "my" project, but I did the page on the moth eyes, and did the research behind it. Okay, and I took the information from nature and applied it to a windshieild's PVB interface using a particular laser etching, and picked in the process where it should go while at the plant... Nobody created lightning. It was natures idea. But we came up with a way to harness electricity. So, do we not give Franklin Props for making a light because nature had already thought of electricity before? Its called innovation, and its a form of inventing. You use it a lot. So i say its most likely a legit form of creating something. Quote:

And can we not try to hate on each other so much? Yes it was hydrogen not liquid oxygen. But whatever. Its a brainstorming thread All ideas are welcome I just may say no because I'd get a F haha. But I really do appreciate all the responses with ideas.
Those of you with criticism..... haha. Just kidding. But I really do like the amount of responses I'm getting. Seems to me everyone wants a DIY seat adjuster? |

I feel likethis could be a good way for someone to get good ideas to make products ,if you cant come up with your own. I have tons of ideas but like everyone else have no way to make them happen. I have an idea that would get you an A and would be right up your alley. It also wouldnt be that hard to make, but lets make a deal you get a idea, I get a copy of the product! pm me if you wanna talk. The heck with an A, I think we could make some money. I would buy it!

It is more than just a term project, but I can't wait until a Lambo level clutchless manual transmission is available.
Having driven one of them compared to what GM, Ford and Chrysler offer there is no comparison at all. These things are orders of magnitude better. - SK
