The Sword in the Stone I am trying to recreate King Arthur's the Sword in the Stone using chemistry. I have a couple ideas how this could be done Would any of these work or how it might work? Arthur removes the sword from the stone and is blessed by Archbishop Brice, from Le Livre de Merlin, France, N. (Arras), 1310, Add... (more) |

Best places to be on Earth when an all out nuclear World War III breaks out? This is a world building question in a preventative context because those people or countries would be left fully functional while others gone and the safe areas is where the world building would begin. What countries would be the least likely to get nuclear bombed or have fallout if a full nuclear ... (more) |

Could we use telescopes and mirrors in space to see crime in the past via analog? Could a perfect mirror/s be made to reflect one side of the Earth from the edge of the solar system and viewed with an optical or radio telescope that is in orbit? The targeting mirrors and telescope are in orbit around Earth are aimed away at reflected Earth through the mirrors in synchronous orbit... (more) |

Could a blimp be powered using thunderstorms? Could a untethered blimp be built strong enough to with stand a thunderstorm? Could wind generators be placed on it to transfer turbulence of shifting wind into wind power? Rain could be collected and provide showers if no lightning. Once full of electricity an water just elevate above the clouds. ... (more) |

How high in the sky are you safe? I understand that there is wide range of bullet calibers. I am interested in the ones that is 50 caliber or less, and if you can be high enough in a blimp to be safe either by to far to see or to far to reach? Could a city be built out of Balloons? (more) |

Could a city be built out of Balloons? I would like to use this scenario in writing a book. Using only countless balloons that permanently hold hydrogen made from water could a city be built in the sky? Workers from the ground can raise balloons up to the builders. Other material would be vinyl to walk on. Landing on water for resupplie... (more) |

Could a blimp house an entire colony on Mars? What is surface to weight ratio needed to help slow the decent onto Mars? Assembled and inflated in space could a blimp be big enough to include everything needed to jump start a colony and land? On Earth it would be buoyant where on Mars it would not but could it have enough surface area and wi... (more) |

Harvesting lightning from within the thunderstorm with a Faraday Cage Lightning is abundant in some places in Earth. Attempts had been made it collect it. Laser triggered lightning below is the closest attempt. By the time it reaches the ground most of the power is lost in light, sound and heat. Would collecting electricity in lightning rich areas with a net... (more) |

LED light or heating element? To generate heat electrically inside a balloon for lift would a 20 watt LED light or a 20 watt heating element make more heat to lift a small closed hot air balloon droid and solar cell? Having a black balloon would convert the light into heat and a 20 watt LED does get hot and heat-sync would add t... (more) |

Orbital Mass Accelerator. Space Elevator Can two objects solar powered, equal in weight, traveling on the same orbital path in the opposite directions propel each other to intersect on the opposite side of the Earth in alignment to propel again gaining altitude in orbit? Compared to most normal artificial satellites would propellant used a... (more) |

Sky Train Blimp Plane? Can using blimps to hold power lines and implement laser filamentation of ablout 7 meter span from the source of power for a contact free power supply to power an electric engine (designed to run on super high voltage low amperage) plane or blimp be done in this way? Battery weight prevents an eff... (more) |
