      Every time someone makes something that can change the world, they get bought, or made to sound crazy and stupid, or disappeared. Dude does need a plastic and a new metal 3d printer though. If he makes something That could change the world, like a new power supply or engine, he should just make a video just like this one and upload it everywhere before anyone sees it. Then it can't disappear or be denied, can be replicated, and will be used in industry. That's how you stay alive and change the world. You won't get rich, but you'll be the guy. So you won't need to be rich, because everyone will want you around.

I'm hoping to set up the system with co2 and water vapor and shoot it into a canister/tank of some sort to see if the collected products become flammable at some ratio of co2 to water. Ought to be fun, but also really dangerous so we're gonna take out time to make sure we do it safely

    @ChiralSymmetry 5 років тому +519

    I was, briefly, a grad student in physics, and did some research in a low temperature lab (stuff like liquid helium research).
    Anyways, I was told bluntly and wisely, that my first five attempts at an experiment would fail. Because what we were doing was unknown (not only to us, but to anyone in the world), with no road-map. So we didn't even know how things could or would fail. So no matter how carefully you designed and built the first five versions, you would fail due to some unforeseen problems. The problems might be trivial, or they might be deep and complicated.
    Therefore, it was important *not* to spend too much time carefully designing and building the first several tries; that would be a waste of time and effort.
    Only after five tries, would you have learned enough to know what you're doing. Then, it would be good to design and build carefully. At first, that was a difficult lesson for me.
    In other words:
    (1) Fail fast, fail smart. (ie: fail efficiently: that means quickly, and learning as much as possible per failure.)
    (2) Learn from failure, several times.
    (3) Then carefully design and build.

    • @corpstilldeath6744

    • @ChiralSymmetry
      @ChiralSymmetry 5 років тому +18

      A very good question! I don't think there are any easy answers. And probably depends greatly on what area you're working in.
      But I think I would say that you should study what other people have done. Maybe some people have worked on areas related to what you are doing. Understand those things, without limiting yourself to what they did. Maybe understand how what they did would be helpful, or would fail.
      Also, sometimes talk to people outside of your area. Something they do might give you a new idea. Or, they could have a very different and fresh perspective on what you're doing.

They take CO2 from the air and I believe the water is rainwater and they also capture the water to be reused when they refuel. They're basically electric vehicles which have had their batteries swapped out for generators running on methane.

      Plasma is indeed used for a variety of things in the semiconductor industry. I believe the process most similar to what you mean is a simple plasma clean. It's not a cold plasma but typically an argon plasma that physically cleans the surface by the bombardment of ions. A more aggressive clean uses oxygen plasma which will react with any organics on the surface, turning them into CO2 and H2O

I rebuilt one would definitely be the way to go for anybody interested and using flybacks in their project so they don't have to use the fix diodes and the fix capacitor you can use them additionally added on to your own needs which makes it a lot more versatile Imo. you can always depot one with the diodes in there in the capacitor and Rewind it to your own needs just a Crock-Pot with some sand and it until the epoxy starts getting loose enough to crack away gently I've seen homemade ones make my 3 Series fly back Tower look like an arc lighter.

It sounded like it harnessed a similar technology to the one this guy is demonstrating. Anyways, Mr. Meyer died at a Cracker Barrel with his last words being, "They poisoned me." Despite scientists at the time acknowledging it did the impossible, the history books call him a fraud. If we aren't buying our energy from somewhere then that technology doesn't exist or is impossible.

      idk the specifics but i have a few water torches, of varying complexity as to the the separation, scrubbing/drying and delivery from the cells as well as in the design of torch burners; and most configurations result in a flame that will cut metal but so far in my most gracefully clumsy mishandling hasnt burned my skin or clothing or furniture, and rarely it burns paper if i let it stay in flame too long. in the same conditions but with conventional gas (propane or MAPP) cylinder as fuel i have accidentally burned many things and acquired many scars. my best guess would be that its an effect kinda similar to induction cooking but focused to a pencil tip, with some extra jazz about poteintial held in the flame and theres probably a good amount of charge in the in the fuel and some small amount of liquid droplets with dissolved KOH. i never really thought about it and now am curious as to the actual reason from someone who knows.

    So I was camping the other day when it was about 100°F outside. It was too uncomfortable to make a fire and I thought, wouldn't it be great to make a cold fire? Didn't think it was possible! Great video🙂

      The height of pedantry. Your pronunciation and his are basically identical aside from some emphasis on the P, and both are widely used by Americans/Canadians. I switch between the two without even realizing.

      Can confirm, just tried with my gas stove and it worked perfectly. Make sure to chant "Heat upon heat upon heat" as you endure the initial warm-up period, before it turns cold. I call it the the "Gom Jabar" effect.
