    A "craft using an inertial mass reduction device" (2016), one embodiment of which could be a high speed "hybrid aerospace/undersea craft" able to "engineer the fabric of our reality at the most fundamental level", [7] the patent application for which was supported by the Naval Aviation Enterprise's chief technical officer on the grounds that ...

  3. Anti-gravity - Wikipedia

    Normal mass, on the other hand, will fall away from the negative matter. He noted that two identical masses, one positive and one negative, placed near each other will therefore self-accelerate in the direction of the line between them, with the negative mass chasing after the positive mass. [18]

  4. Bodging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodging

    Traditionally, a bodger would buy a stand of trees from a local estate, set up a place to live (his bodger's hovel) and work close to trees. [6] After felling a suitable tree, the bodger would cut the tree into billets, approximately the length of a chair leg. The billet would then be split using a wedge. Using the side-axe, he would roughly ...

    Using an aerospace engine test stand usually used to precisely test spacecraft engines like ion drives, [17] [55] [56] they reported a maximum thrust of 720 mN at 2,500 W of input power. [56] Yang noted that her results were tentative, and said she "[was] not able to discuss her work until more results are published".

  6. Tamper (nuclear weapon) - Wikipedia

    The use of enriched uranium tampers therefore became more common once enriched uranium became more plentiful. An important development after World War II was the lightweight beryllium tamper. In a boosted device the thermonuclear reactions greatly increase the production of neutrons, which makes the inertial property of tampers less important.

  7. Project Orion (nuclear propulsion) - Wikipedia

    NASA artist rendering, from 1999, of the Project Orion pulsed nuclear fission spacecraft. Project Orion was a study conducted in the 1950s and 1960s by the United States Air Force, DARPA, [1] and NASA into the viability of a nuclear pulse spaceship that would be directly propelled by a series of atomic explosions behind the craft.

    Energy shield from the game Second Life. In speculative fiction, a force field, sometimes known as an energy shield, force shield, energy bubble, or deflector shield, is a barrier produced by something like energy, negative energy, dark energy, electromagnetic fields, gravitational fields, electric fields, quantum fields, telekinetic fields, plasma, particles, radiation, solid light, magic, or ...

    The isoinertial's muscle activity follows the muscular action of the sporting gesture or rather what the body or parts of it are in duty to perform in sports, according to which, in strength and speed variable, an inertial load (such as a ball), a limb or the body itself (such as when accelerating or changing direction) the athlete is forced to respond at the level coordinative motor and ...
