Project Objectives for Dissertation on Insensitive Highly Energetic Materials

Project Objectives The project objectives were to develop an energetic material with the following characteristics. First, an explosive must perform in order to complete the designed task (i.e. break up of rock formations). As a goal, therefore, very high performance (comparable to the explosive H-6) was of primary importance. While the... (posted by Theodore 1 year 169 days ago.)

The Coming Economic Collapse

In his book "THE COMING ECONOMIC COLLAPSE", Dr. Stephen Leeb predicted that the U.S. economy was standing on the brink of the biggest crisis in its history (which is now here). As the fast-growing economies of China and India pushed global demand for oil beyond production capacity, Americans experienced an energy shortfall far worse than the one in the 1970s. The result has been severe financial hardship for most people and... (posted by Theodore 1 year 169 days ago.)

Retrograde Motion - An Attempt to Explain Something Simple by Making it Complex and Untrue

One phenomenon that aincient astronomers had difficulty explaining was the retrograde motion of the planets. Over the course of a single night, a planet will move from East to West across the sky, like any other celestial object near the ecliptic. Most objects in our sky appear to rise somewhere on the Eastern horizon and set somewhere on the Western horizon. The... (posted by Theodore 1 year 169 days ago.)

Geothermal Power 101

A geothermal power plant uses its geothermal activity to generate power. This type of natural energy production is extremely environmentally friendly and used in many geothermal hot spots around the globe. To harness the energy, deep holes are drilled into the earth (much like when drilling for oil) until a significant geothermal hot spot is found. When the heat source has been discovered, a pipe...
