Re: Calliban Postings including links to notable contributions

For Calliban re post in dusty uranium topic...

https://newmars.com/forums/viewtopic.ph … 20#p227720

Please continue developing your idea.

Can you (somehow) pull power from the stream you've designed, so the fission can sustain the power needed while producing thrust?

A moving ion will itself carry a magnetic field.  If that field can (somehow) be harnessed on it's way to the exit, it might move electrons in a wire, and that movement might (somehow) make it's way back to the coils to generate the field you've described.

Can coils along the passage alternate between those for guidance/constraint, and those to capture energy?

As a side note ... this entire dusty uranium idea seems like Orion bombs at the nanoscale level.

If it can be made to work, it would seem a ** whole ** lot more efficient.

Re: Calliban Postings including links to notable contributions

For Calliban re links about methane in Iron on Mars topic...

Thanks for the link from 2015, and the later one from 2021.

The forum has a number of topics that contain the word "methane"...

Your post might fit well in one of those, as well as in the iron topic.

I'm hoping we have a member willing to investigate to see if there are any follow up studies for either of the links you provided.

Without new instruments on the ground at Mars it's difficult to learn more, but the orbiters are still collecting data.

Re: Calliban Postings including links to notable contributions

For Calliban ...

I followed a link you provided about sulfur, and next to it was an article about possible limits to what any civilization might be able to achieve with technology.

https://www.space.com/lack-of-intellige … ment-limit

I thought of you immediately, because ** I think ** you posted something along these lines recently.

It might have even been the same article, so I'm wondering if you recognize it.

The author poses the interesting hypothesis that as our civilizations grows more complex, with increasing levels of specialization, we may push up against diminishing returns.  I hope someone in the active membership will take a look at the article and report on whether it seems to make sense.

One of the arguments the author makes rings a bell from your earlier post ... the author cited the lack of fundamental discoveries after 100 years, following discovery of relativity and quantum mechanics.

The hypothesis would be reset if a brilliant human who may be alive on Earth today makes another discovery of similar magnitude.

In the mean time, the author does appear to concede that radio communication could provide a way for civilizations scattered across the galaxy to get in touch.  Humans have been doing SETI in various ways for decades.  The author even cites the famous "Wow" signal, whose discoverers are still alive the the community where I live. That was a burst of radio energy in the water hole that the computer equipment in use at the time was unable to save data in sufficient detail to pull out any information that might have been present. The signal might have been caused (and was most probably caused) by a natural process.  Great efforts were made to rule out human caused transmission, such as by a satellite that might have wandered into the search field at the time, and nothing was ever found.

Edward Lerner has written a series of novels about what a galactic radio network might look like, and how it might work.

In short, I think there remains a possibility that something might be discovered in this field, at some point.

Re: Calliban Postings including links to notable contributions

For Calliban re Post about steerable stars...

Thanks for the link you provided...

I recognized the author... His bio covers a lot of adventures, but omits his leadership of a local science center.

While he was in town he created a number of articles about science.

The scenario he covers in the article you cited is a bit of a stretch for most folks, but Dr. Sutter has the ability to present concepts like that in a way that I ** think ** a lot of readers would find accessible.

You asked why a civilization would bother moving the entire star (and the planets) when they could just build an O'Neill cylinder and go anywhere.  I think that's a reasonable question, but I get the impression no one has found such a civilization on the move.

My own guess is that perhaps such fast moving stars may have encountered one too many other stars in a galactic merger.

Re: Calliban Postings including links to notable contributions

For  Calliban re food production from acetate...

RobertDyck has recently returned to one of his themes, which is a bias in favor of "natural" (presumably organic) foods.

You are the person I think of who brought acetate to our attention as a food stock for plants.  My recollection is that the research you cited was able to grow plants without using photosynthesis.

I'm hoping you might be willing to become a champion for this idea, so that we can develop a robust competition between the organic foods side of the house, and the industrial scale least cost food production options that may be available.

Is it possible for an entrepreneur to create a useful (salable) product using the method you've reported?

What I'm wondering is if human ingenuity might provide a counter to inflation, by providing healthy food that is free of pesticides at a cost far below traditional open air agriculture.

If current plans hold, the cost of open air agriculture may sky rocket, so an alternative might be welcomed.

Question: Can acetate provide nutrients to plants that can be fed to ruminants?

Re: Calliban Postings including links to notable contributions

For Calliban re http://newmars.com/forums/viewtopic.php … 46#p228346

Thank you for your endorsement of the initiative that Louis reported!  That topic sat idle for quite a while, so it is good to see renewed interest.

Can I encourage you to do a bit more with it?  I ask because at the moment, the topic doesn't seem all that helpful to me.  It certainly shows where to look on the open Internet, but the topic itself appears not to contain much useful information.

RobertDyck has a fairly firm idea of how he would prepare food for his passengers on Large Ship, but neither kbd512 or GW Johnson have gotten that far with their two counter-rotating habitat vessel concepts.  If the matter is of interest, please add content to the topics that might be helpful for both of these gents as they try to plan the space they'll need on their vessels to supplement the habitat rings.

There's going to be a lot going on in both those vessels.  They have to maintain the balance of those gigantic wheels while providing for propulsion, navigation, reliable power, radiation protection, waste processing, fresh water and plenty of nourishing food for the passengers and crew.

Your interest in non-RobertDyckian food production is what inspires me to hope you might be willing to add to the collection here in the forum.

For Calliban re acetate as a nutrient for plants

We have a NewMars member who appears not to recognize acetate as a healthy molecule for plants.

I thought (and hope) that you might be interested in seeing what Google came up with when I asked about the safety of acetate.

Search Labs | AI Overview
Learn more
Yes, acetate is considered an acceptable nutrient for plants, as it is a readily recognized and utilized compound by plants, often used as a carrier molecule to deliver other essential nutrients like potassium, calcium, or iron, allowing for faster absorption and improved plant health; particularly when used in foliar applications.
Key points about acetate as a plant nutrient:

    Natural origin:
    Plants naturally produce acetic acid (the compound that forms acetate), making it easily recognizable and absorbed.

Nutrient delivery:
Acetate can be used as a carrier molecule to deliver essential minerals like potassium, calcium, and iron directly to the plant.
Root development:
Some studies suggest acetate can promote root development by aiding in auxin production.

Improved uptake:
Compared to other chelating agents, acetate can facilitate faster nutrient uptake when applied as a foliar spray.

    Acetate is also a very important part of signaling compounds (flavonoids, lipochitooligosaccharides, etc.) which promote plant-soi...

Acetates are derived from acetic acid, a compound made and used by plants. Because plants utilize acetic acid, acetates are something a plant can recognize more efficiently, which is part of the reason the plant more readily absorbs acetates. Acetates form weaker bonds and fewer bonds with a nutrient.
