Last week Rogan had Capt Fravor who was one of the alleged witnesses to the "tictac" video that the pentagon confirmed the legitimacy of 2 years ago. Worth watching if you're into this kind of thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eco2s3-0zsQ

This was a really good podcast if you've been following this stuff, and cleared up many of the inquiries posted on HN. Some key points: - The object had been tracked for 2 weeks by radars: SPY-1 (ship) and E-2 (AWACS aircraft) - Pilot made naked-eye visual contact with the tic tac from above, watching it move over the water - There was a cross-shaped wake under it - It jammed their radar when they attempted a lock, w…

Check out my Reddit post, I go into greater detail on how these work.

In layman's terms, a vaccuum has been created around the skin of the craft. That vaccuum allows the craft to travel at speeds far beyond an SR-71. And, interestingly, allows them to travel underwater!

The US Navy patent doesn't describe a temperature differential, but it's possible that the absence of air (or water) around the skin of the craft is causing a temperature differential and the 'halo' that you see in the videos that were confirmed "authentic" by the Pentagon.

Check out the Navy's patent here : https://patents.google.com/patent/US20170313446A1/

a quote from it:

"An artificially generated high energy/high frequency electromagnetic field (such as the fields an HEEMFG can produce) can fulfill all three conditions simultaneously (especially in an accelerated vibration/rotation mode), when strongly interacting with the local vacuum energy state. These interactions are induced by the coupling of hyper-frequency axial rotation (spin) and hyper-frequency vibration (harmonic oscillations/abrupt pulsations) of electrically charged systems (high energy electromagnetic field generators), placed on the outside of the craft in strategic locations. [0024]

In this manner, local vacuum polarization, namely the coherence of vacuum fluctuations within the immediate proximity of the craft's surface (outside vacuum boundary) is achieved, allowing for ‘smooth sailing’ through the negative pressure (repulsive gravity) of the ‘void’ (the void within the vacuum). It may be stated that the void ‘sucks in’ the craft."

If you search the U.S. Patent system, you can find a lot of crazy things, because the patent office never actually verifies them. Take everything you read in patents like this with a grain of salt.

Those patents aren't filed by Northrup Grumman and the US Navy.

"If it can be achieved, nuclear fusion would be a massive improvement over fission in that it produces much lower levels of radioactive waste and greenhouse gases, does not require enriched nuclear material that could be used to produce weapons" thermonuclear weapons are fusion yield devices using fission to ignite a fusion fuel. a fusion bomb, or other such weapon is probably closer to production than fusion derived…

Well, sort of. Fusion in thermonuclear bombs is primarily used as a neutron source, rather than as a significant percentage of the yield. If you want more yield then you want more fission, which needs more neutrons. You could have many fission-fusion stages stacked matroska style to make an arbitrarily large yield thermonuclear bomb. See: doomsday weapons. Also see: Edward Teller.

matroska == sloika ?

the toroidal sloika is a thing that was supposed to be the super of doomsday bombs, weather or not it existed beyond diagrams is an issue however it had the appearance of a layer cake toriod inside a tokomak with a hell of a microwave guide to either pole of the toroid

I think it would be better to phrase this as: Thermonuclear weapons are fusion yield devices using the energetic fission products to confine and compress a fusion fuel so that it can burn. As soon as the radiation pressure drops below a critical threshold, the fusion reaction ceases immediately. The fusion reaction cannot sustain on its own without this incredible amount of force being applied to it continuously. Thi…

have a look at nuclear isomers, the big direction is to create a device that may arbitrarily, [as in switchon/switch off] stimulate fusion and emit the yield in a unidirectional manner, multiple times before refueling. basically a high energy neutron flux beam weapon.

I do believe pulsed fusion energy is a much better approach to start with. We already have the ability to generate small amounts of pure fusion energy in highly-energetic laboratory experiments. If you could place a pulsed reactor in some thermal mediator (e.g. water), you could have a device that produces apparently continuous thermal energy.

A single 1 megaton thermonuclear weapon can produce the equivalent of around 1100 gigawatts of power for an entire hour. If we could find a way to capture even a fraction of this, you could power a LOT of things for quite some time. Now, obviously I am not advocating actually doing this with fission devices, but having some sort of "extremely temporary" reactor design could be viable considering the amount of energy each unit could produce, even if each only works 1 time.

This is from 2004, way before stealth drones went mainstream but all were in development.

this is where nuclear isomers are hoped to fit in. the big hope is that fusion can be switched on or off, like a flashlight.

Because the technology was classified at the time. In 2008, a CIA analyst named "Ron Pandolfi" signed off on the declassification of the technology in a documented that he signed, here : https://fas.org/irp/agency/dod/jason/gravwaves.pdf Pandolfi testified before the senate in 1998 in regards to the Chinese stealing U.S. technology: https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/campf...

> That document says very clearly the technology is not feasible.

Yes, that's true. In the declassified document from 2008, they explicitly said it was unfeasible.

In the patent from ten years later, they explain how they did it.

Here is a cut and paste from the Navy's patent (https://patents.google.com/patent/US10322827B2/):

"The JASON report considers relatively low EM energy fluxes, when compared with those generated by the physical mechanisms described in the inventor's aforementioned published paper (on the order of 1033 W/m2, and beyond). This exceptionally high EM power intensity induces spontaneous particle pair production (avalanche) out of the vacuum of free space, thereby, ensuring complete polarization of the local Vacuum energy state, thus resulting in modification of the local spacetime energy density. It is because of this fact, that the JASON report's conclusions must be revisited, are incorrect, and are directly in conflict with the current invention."

In my Reddit post, I get into more detail, in regards to the relationship between JASON and the US Navy. (JASON was a program started by DARPA, who created the Internet.)

As someone with a fusion startup, and a recently issued fusion patent I read the actual patent to see what I could learn.

In my opinion, the patent does not describe anything useful. There are no descriptions of the shape of the magnetic field this device is intended to produce, and is about as useful as saying "Aim a bunch of magnets toward the center. It'll work, trust me."

If it was cold maybe it’s something with superconductors.

Just going off the titles, at least 1, 4 and 6 are possibly not bs. Laser augmented combustion is a thing, compression fusion like general fusion or first light fusion is a thing and if you use piezoelectricity to induce pressure, then at very high pressures some materials become superconductors near room temperature

3, as posted, is available off the shelf.
