A bit late to the party, but excellent post! It's incredible how precise you were able to get your measurement.

Venus is ignored because it might as well not exist, due to its Earth-like size and ridiculous surface conditions. All landers sent there have failed shortly after landing (scale of hours). Its gravity

CRTs have way more current and voltage behind them, but had the benefit of being made of lead glass that massively reduced the x-ray emission. I've never actually tried to measure the x-ray emission of

Watched this launch online this afternoon, always fun to watch SpaceX launches as they do a really good job with their livestreams.

Really interesting animal. Weird story at the end - On one hand that seems extremely messed up, on the other hand the dog's owner was fine with it? Either way, I have no idea why the turtle needed to be

Neutron production is a tell-tale sign of D-D fusion. The reaction itself has just under a 50% chance of producing a neutron every time two nuclei fuse, which is then easily detectable by specialized

Glad you enjoyed it! Consider using a Bielliptical transfer in KSP if you need to change your inclination by a lot, or if you need to transfer to a very high circular orbit.

Excellent post, and definitely worthy of the Steemstem resteem! I hadn't seen the entropy of changing a bit explicitly spelled out before (even though I guess it follows naturally from S = k*lnW). Thanks

It's a surface mount chip antenna with a frequency of 2.4 GHz to deal with Wifi signals. Unfortunately I can't tell you much more as I'm not perfectly sure how chip antennas work, other than that there

Hey, you know, not getting a terrible disease and dying sounds nice, but there are debunked reports of people getting a nonfatal disorder from vaccines so we shouldn't use them! Idiot. This is how you

I'm curious, why the oven transformer? I've typically avoided those because of the low voltage/high current. I guess lower voltage might be better in this case since that won't produce any escaping xrays.

Awesome images and writeup! (I will admit I haven't fully read through it but plan to once I'm finished with this work). I had a lot of fun using microwave magnets on a 20kV, low-vacuum plasma stream last

Not to mention his "technical" analysis is the opposite of technical, it is useless garbage that is almost always wrong, except when he occasionally gets lucky. It makes Steemit and cryptocurrencies

Nice analysis! I always liked a reddit post I saw once claiming that if Earth was actually flat, gravity would make it feel like a bowl (pulling towards the center) and flat-earthers would be talking about

Thank you so much for the continued support @steemstem!

Glad you enjoyed it! All of the transfers I've talked about here assume a very high thrust so that the acceleration time is almost negligible. Electric thrusters have much higher efficiencies than chemical

Thank you for the support!

Congratulations to this week's featured authors!

But SMTs don't even exist yet. How can something that doesn't exist be better for a current problem than something that does (eg ICO or ERC20, as much as I generally dislike ICOs)

Good catch - I used to use peri/apoapsis for generality but slipped into the habit of calling everything -gee from my orbits classes recently.
