Plasmoid Forensics

This last appeared in the Unicorn Corral. I think this evidence elevates it to Off-Topic Tech

It's not Lead into Gold. ....yet. But they are scraping interesting alloys off the 'inside' of the nested spheres.

So far the examples have the three or four stages separated by serpentine ducting. Productizing this might lead to a vertical stack or cluster.



Stick one in the back corner of an old school bus and go ecomodding.

Here's an update from four days ago.



In the interim I've been reading a book on alchemy (Anatomizing Divinity*) that traces it's history from China to India to the Middle East to Christian Europe.

Interestingly, the early alchemists believed the Earth was a ball with a fire in the middle that gurgitated matter and smoke that eventually became every single thing we know and love today. (except the Moon) Not flat-Earthers then, but they pursued the transmutation of elements. Their weapon of choice was the alembic.

Alembic - Wikipedia
Alembic. An alembic (from Arabic: الإنبيق, romanized : al-inbīq, originating from Ancient Greek: ἄμβιξ, romanized : ambix, 'cup, beaker') [1] [2] [3] is an alchemical still consisting of two vessels connected by a tube, used for distillation of liquids.
Curiously, the Thunderstorm Generator is transmuting elements using two vessels connected by a tube, and implosions in water.

Another update, with the new turbo stubby alembic:

There will be a big show-and-tell in June in North Carolina.

Interview with the guy that annealed the hemispheres:

His interesting conclusion is that it will turn cars into oxygen-emitters like trees, and also replace air conditioning.

I'm surprised no-one is interested in this.

A 9:19 he finds the connection to the pyramids in a bevel angle: 51.84°.

You can't violate the laws of physics for long.

....but you can deepen your understanding of what those laws are. In this case it is the behavior of a plasma in concentric spheres. In microscopic bubbles.

But you can only observe the results of the causation, not the actual event, much not unlike the mythbusters golfball dimpled car

"...much not unlike..." makes my head hurt. Is it an analogy?

When the results validate the hypothesis that might be a clue. Anyways, prototyping is easy, productizing is hard; and according to Elon Musk the factory 10x that.

History is full of invalid hypothesis... which are correct until they are proven wrong by more advanced theory. Stops being theory when the technology to measure it is invented
