7H4_D00D3

I thooght of it, but I rejected the idea because without a foundation it would be too unstable, depending only on the anchoring satellite.... if someone even FARTS on the damn stuff it will move the satellite just enough to make a variable orbit (of course, the variation would be incredibly small, so long-term effects will take long to appear) In fact, I did a small project for Physics I to calculate the trajectory of any given body set @ a desired distance of the Earth's centre, taking into account the effects of the moon was a pain in the arse because I got too few time to solve it, but it would have been pretty nifty ^^ In other news, http://www.twinkiesproject.com/ , there, check what those guys tried with twinkies xD

Take all the time you need!!

Woah! nice work c!00c!3 I liked the asuka->misto stuff more

Get HW and the original MOD, OBVIOUSLY isn't as good as this one will be, but it will keep you entertained for a while

You're thinking in terms of a terrestrially constructed elevator (Earth-based, with an orbital terminus). Most orbital elevator ideas I've read about explain the proposition the other way around: Orbitally based, with an interface/terminus on the Earth end. To build it, you'd just drop weighted carbon line (alright, a LOT of line ) from a geosynchronous satellite. Once you've "tied it off" on Earth, you use autonomous elevator "cars" to slowly climb their payload up the "rope" to orbit. No need to worry about foundations, earthquakes, or any of that nonsense. 401340[/snapback] That's what I'm saying, in fact, the only space elevator model I've ever saw eas satellite based, but when the carbon tube reaches earth it will need a foundation, because if not, what would prevent it from collapsing due to gravity, winds and stuff? You could make an extremely wide tube, so all forces are sustained by itself but that would require an excessive amount of resources (hence, rocketing rules!xD) Changing subjects, what other stuff about capacitors is there? Recently I had to do a small job for college about them and came to the conclusion that to reach the capacity of 1F with a plain parallel face kind of capacitor (the faces are 5cm apart from each other), the faces will need an area of 5467 square kilometers (!!!) because: C = K*S*Eo/d assuming that it's in the void (k=1) C = S*Eo/d 1F*0.05m/[8.854 × 10^-12(F/m)] = s s= 5.467x10^9 m^2 s= 5.467*10^3 Km^2 The same capacitance could be reached with 10000 capacitors (100microfarads each) in parallel and would fit in a 28 sqare meters surface (approx) Is there a way to concentrate energy @ ultra-high levels? (1F in 28sqm it's still too much )

IM NOT WORTHY :'( Those models are s-w-e-e-t!!! Why can't I do that????? <<jumps off from window>>

What? It can't transform into a battloid??? what a rip off Now, seriously, interesting, I wonder why they decided to use an old school engine instead of a jet one. Perhaps to make it cheaper... Thinking about that, nope, you don't need a jet engine to get to work Is there anything about teleport out there? The closest thing I've seen to teleport is quantum tunelling, but I doubt it works on non-quantum scales Links about Qtunels and applications: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_tunneling http://www.altair.org/Qtunnel.html http://www.fizyka.umk.pl/~jkob/physnews98/node202.html

What are you wearing ? xDxD

Guess you'll have to make this little mod to your keyboard xD

Well, not precisely a "ship", but it's the only thing I found My first ever 3d model, I learnt while doing it, I have more but don't know why MAX (2.5!) suddenly stopped to work :S Excuse it's lameness

O.o!!!!!!!!!! sh13+!!! The nupetiet looks awesome!!!...I think I'm in love

Interesting solution to the impossibility of lightspeed travelling As the object's speed reaches the speed of light it's mass increases: M = Me/ sqrt (1 - v/c) Where M = mass Me= mass in equilibrium v= object's speed c= speed of light When the object is nearing the lightspeed it's mass increases, therefore, it will need more power to keep accelerating, but then again, it will gain mass. This loop will repeat until it won't gain any more speed because the acceleration produced by the object's drive reaches it's peak and the system will stabilize, keeping constant speed as long as the drive keep functioning @ that level ( f = ma, if a = 0 then f = 0, this means that either a) the object is not moving or b) it's in a straight-line uniform kind of movement [constant speed]) Altough the whole "negative energy" stuff isn't very convincing I'll look for a Discover Mag (yes, Im sure it's a discover) to post the date, where some physicist proposed that there are ultra thin threads in the universe that travel across it, where mass is incredibly high, therefore warping space-time, apparently increasing the speed of light, allowing a vessel to gain an enormous speed.

Just to know that's why I said "if you're not too busy". If you were (which I assume you are) then nvm

Guys, if you're not too very busy, can you post a list of complete/incomplete ships and if possible, their status? like: SHIP----------------------------------------------------MODELLING----------------TEXTURE SDF1--------------------------------------------------------Yes------------------------Yes Q. Rau------------------------------------------------------Yes-------------------------No Nupetiet Vergnitz-------------------------------------------No-------------------------No

Hey! guess what! I found the thermal detautomerization article!!! It's from Discovery Magazine! xD sorry I made you look on PM It's the "Discovery en Español" June 2003 If you can't find it let me know and I'll scan it and upload it to you somehow Well....now to clean this room I made a MESS while searching for the mag and tomorrow have physics exam (Im sooooooo dead...)
