The primary has to be symmetrically compressed by explosive lenses to criticality, which this impact is not going to do. It is more than likely a test to see how said explosive lenses would hold up to kinetic impacts. Some of the older explosive compounds used for the lenses are rather kinetically sensitive. Most…

Too bad the fun stuff that Ronald Meyers does for the ARL and the other (allegedly) fun stuff we’ve learned to do with quantum radar and comm links will never see the light of day.

Its funny that everyone laughs at the invisibility comment, but what no one realizes is that the AFRL has been hard at work for a long time actually making that come true (to a more limited extent). If they also knew about the LPI/NPI radar and comms that are part of the F-35 program as a whole, and how those can…

Exactly. These programs are purposefully compartmentalized for this exact purpose. Also, some of these are probably extremely secret. Like a “need a Sigma level clearance” secret. People don’t blab too often about those types of projects because they are: A) extremely well compensated and B) Can be put to death via…

It would be the best thing ever if right at the end of it was a nice, low flyover of one of those amazing classified planes the DoD swears doesn’t exist.

Destiny 2 would be better off just being Y3 Destiny 1 with better graphics.

Can you really stay on welfare for 8 years in Minnesota?

Minnesota is a great place. Minneapolis sucks a fat one. If you want the Minneapolis experience without all the bullshit, Sioux Falls SD beckons you. Mots underrated city in America.

Makes some sense, I did have a similar issue now that I think about it. I just assigned the lights to a standard room tempate in Hue and Home and changed the nickname in Home to the actual room I wanted to control.

Abovetopsecret Aircraft Projects forum. There is a couple moderators that post comments here from time to time that are a wealth of information. Yes, I know it’s a conspiracy forum, but the Aircraft/Military Projects and Weaponry forums have interesting discussions and lots of information.

As the owner of of a 2011 Element, I would love if they brought it back. I would buy a new one in a heartbeat if it had a turbo 4 cylinder or V6. Bought new in 11 and pushing 300k miles with no major mechanical issues besides some suspension bushings, a wheel bearing, and a power steering pump. Even the timing chain…

It’s the wake-up packet issue probably knocking out your router temporarily. Thay being said, I have 1 Google Home, 3 Home Minis, 34 Hue devices, 2 TP-Link plugs, and a couple WeMo plugs and everything works fine. Even the packet issue has only knocked out the wifi once, and they have all been running for 3 months…

I would stab a puppy if Phillips would make an HDMI passthrough box for syncing Hue lights to my TV through my stereo receiver.

I honestly don’t get the hate. It looks like GM did exactly what they should have: took a production car, did minimal cost efficient cosemtic changes to account for the lack of steering wheel and pedals, and put it out there for purchase. Would there really be a good reason to reconfigure the entire interior of the…

Graphene and graphene accessories.

If thats the photo I think (Amarillo), didn’t they even fly some B-2's over the next day to say, “Nothing to see here, it was just a B-2. Look here’s a few more flying in formation over the same area. Now please move along...”

There’s something very fast with a bright green contrail that has been seen flying over California and other places for years now. Borane fuels make a nice green and the USAF as bought an awful lot of JP-7 for having no aircraft (SR-71) that uses it anymore...

I know a guy that worked for NG on the B-2. He had patents for joining carbon fiber components to composite airframes in 1974 with NG as the assignee. Ive seen headlines from Boeing basically saying they’re going to start prototyping of hypersonic civilian aircraft, which leads me to believe two things: 1.) We have…

I’ll save you the trouble. Tritium gas is used in the final booster stage of a thermonuclear weapon. Tritium has a relatively short half-life and decays into Helium-3. Too much Helium-3 can “poison” the reaction resulting in a fissle. The DoE has to periodically refill the Tritium gas boosters on our “dial-a-yield”…

Nike missles were built as ICBM interceptors. Most Nike sites were well inside the continental US. If a bomber formation made it that far, we were already fucked.
