Esa wrote.. from a viewer of the lecture, and thinking, hang on, isnt waterhammer, cavitation, resonance, vibration, oscillation and now magnetic viscosity something that is tried to at least dampen by current engineers, because it causes things that are detrimental to a moving device, be it a propeller or a motor. is there a trend here? honest? cos it feels like im seeing glimpses of a trend. something, that happens during motion, that is considered un-worthwhile, not-research-into, and is tried to keep from happening. like cavitation. like resonance. like vibration. and now .. like magnetic viscosity???
But what I have learned most from all of this is that they are many who claim to be intelligent but are in fact unbelievably ignorant just because something goes against the grain, this is somthing I really did not expect in an academic environment in modern times. Howdy Esa, Interesting observations you make. The answer is .. there is more we don't know than know. What exactly do we know at this time? We know the world of science is being pushed by the energy, the intensity, the pressure the imagination and desire of everyone to achieve energy technology that will address the needs of people. That desire is propelling research forward. Nothing can stop it, no amount of naysaying, no matter what failure, no amount of get rich phoney baloney psuedo-science.. the ball is rolling. Perhaps the "kicker" was the US Naval Research Lab report. The sheer amount of research and programs in energy related research on the horizon will overwhelm any attempt by "academia" to hold back progress. They are getting on the bandwagon as we watch. Every University is now awake and research programs are underway or in planning. Major energy companies are awake and interested. The sleeping giant has awakened. Richard
