🚨 FUSION COMPANIES ARE NOW TRYING TO SKIP THE TURBINE ENTIRELY. Most power plants even nuclear ones still rely on 19th-century technology: heat water → make steam → spin a giant turbine. But companies like Helion and TAE are attempting something radically different. They want to pull electricity directly from the fusion plasma itself using electromagnetic induction. No boiling water. No steam turbines. Just magnetic fields converting the motion of the plasma straight into electrical current. Why this matters: Direct energy conversion could make fusion: • Smaller and cheaper to build • Significantly more efficient • Faster to scale globally Instead of massive power stations, future reactors could behave more like advanced electromagnetic engines. The deeper implication is staggering: Humanity may be approaching the moment where we stop “burning” anything for energy. We would directly manipulate plasma and magnetic fields as programmable energy systems. Not fire. Not steam. Controlled stars turned straight into electricity. The line between reactor, battery, and electromagnetic machine could start to disappear. What happens when fusion power becomes this direct and scalable? Follow for more frontier physics and future technology.

@JeremiahW2044 I am running! Let’s ride this red wave! Caesargonzalesforcongress.com

In Georgia on Tuesday, 🟥 REPUBLICANS won CLAYTON COUNTY by 🟥+1 Point In 2024, 🟦 Harris won this county by 🟦+69.2‼️ This represents a 70.2 % shift to the right🟦➡️🟥 This means that the midterms will be 🟥+72.2 according to liberal logic‼️‼️ 🟥MAGA WAVE🟥 INCOMING‼️‼️

This has to be the most insane sport on planet Earth!

Democrats we no longer want to be slaves on your plantation and AOC leaves us B weirdo

@pjkorman @Real_RobN Finally!

Just so you (and all your friends here) won't be surprised (that someone may actually be held accountable). Georgia Grand Jury in process. The US Attorney has also subpoenaed the records of every employee and contractor who worked on the 2020 Fulton County General Election. Fulton County is objecting, of course, using our tax dollars.

Here it is: The Georgia Election Board officially confirms INTENTIONAL HUMAN INTERVENTION—the predicate for a CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY. Simply put: it was scanned twice, it was counted twice—intentionally, maliciously, and deliberately. • 17,852 votes counted with no ballot images • 20,713 original votes from tabulators out of thin air • 3,930 duplicates counted and inserted into the CERTIFIED count via a criminal conspiracy, How was this done? Joseph Rossi: “Ballots were scanned on one day, and then they were randomly picked these batches of ballots and created a new batches and scanned a second day on a different tabulator.” “We now know with certainty that this duplication of ballots was not a mere administrative error, rather the duplication process was due to INTENTIONAL HUMAN INTERVENTION. THE PREDICATE FOR ELECTION FRAUD.” In other words: ‘Arctic Frost’— was designed to coverup their own crimes during the overthrow in the 2020 election.

Elon Musk just used a joke to perform an autopsy on the American economy. Two economists go for a hike. They find a pile of shit. One pays the other $100 to eat it. They keep walking. Find another pile. The second economist pays $100 back to eat that one. They stop. Neither man gained a dollar. Both ate shit for nothing. But on paper they just generated $200 in GDP. Musk: “That basically would count as a job. This is to illustrate the absurdity of economics.” That is not a punchline. That is the operating system of the federal government. Every time a politician celebrates “record job creation” this is what they are describing. Not output. Not value. Not progress. Motion. The entire bureaucratic machine exists to manufacture friction and then invoice for it. Compliance layers built to justify the next compliance layer. Oversight committees that produce nothing but the need for more oversight. Consulting firms hired to audit the work of other consulting firms. Trillions circulating through systems that have never produced a single thing you can hold in your hands. But the GDP number ticks up. So everyone applauds. The shit gets eaten. The scoreboard moves. Nobody asks what actually got built. This is why Washington treats AI like a five alarm fire. AI does not play the friction game. It does not form a committee. It does not schedule a review. It does not file 400 pages of paperwork no one will ever read. It just solves the problem. And that is the one thing the machine cannot survive. The government does not tax results. It taxes the process. The longer the process, the deeper the cut. AI compresses a ten day workflow into seconds. There is nothing left to bill. Nothing left to tax. Nothing left to skim. So they will spend the next decade warning you that AI threatens the economy. What they will never say is what it actually threatens. The illusion that activity equals progress. The $200 economy where both men ate shit and called it a job. The machines are not coming for your purpose. They are coming to prove that half the economy never had one.

@Disp3034Yooper @GregWAutry @HansMahncke I was thinking the very thing when I was writing this! 😂😂😂 My buddy who flew F4s used to say it as well.

@Mechracer74 @GregWAutry @HansMahncke And with the F-4 Phantom McDonald Douglas proved you can make a brick fly if you put enough thrust behind it.

The story behind the New York Times’ 1903 claim that human flight was between one and ten million years away is even worse than it looks. Once you understand the backstory, you realize that the New York Times story is not really about flight at all but about how elites and credentialed “experts” mistake their own failures for the boundaries of possibility. The New York Times did not dismiss the possibility of powered flight at random. There was a very specific reason behind it. At the time, America’s most prominent scientific authority, Smithsonian Secretary Samuel Langley, had been showered with large amounts of taxpayer funding to build an aircraft, the Langley Aerodrome. Despite all the money, institutional backing, and elite prestige, Langley and his team could not get it to fly, culminating in a series of very public failures, the last on December 8, 1903. So when the New York Times declared that flight was millions of years away, what it was really saying was that if the most credentialed and well-funded “experts” cannot do it, then it cannot be done. A mere nine days later, the elites’ proclamation of impossibility lay in ruins. Two totally unknown bicycle mechanics from Ohio achieved the first powered flight using improvised parts, a few hundred dollars of their own money, and sheer persistence. The story of flight is, at its core, a story of the triumph of American individualism over elite credentialism. The fact that it was the New York Times that inadvertently delivered the proof is the most fitting conclusion imaginable.

@GregWAutry @andrewa27954232 @HansMahncke Exactly.

@andrewa27954232 @HansMahncke Indeed. Maxim is like Goddard and Wrights like von Braun. One proved a concept and the other made it useful.

@GregWAutry @HansMahncke Hiram Maxim proved that, with an abundance of hp and aerodynamic lifting surfaces, one could make anything fly. Wright Brothers proved that, with the right combination of aerodynamics and control, one could fly.

To be fair, Hiram Maxim achieved the first powered flight a decade before the Wright bothers, with a huge airplane that lifted three occupants off the ground. The Wrights, very importantly, demonstrated controlled powered flight, which made the airplane practical.

@HansMahncke @GregWAutry The Wright Brothers experience with kites was quite significant.

@GregWAutry It was their bicycle experience that made the difference. They understood that you don’t just steer left or right, you have to actively balance. That led them to control the aircraft on multiple axes, linking yaw and roll so the machine could actually stay stable in flight.

Very interesting. To put this into perspective, Hiram Maxim (inventor of the machine gun) made an 8,000lbs, 12+ lifting surfaces (wings), steam powered, gasoline fired (coal would have been heavier), 363 hp, 3 passenger flying contraption that actually flew. It produced so much lift, it broke its restraints. The Wright Brothers biplane, complete with a 12hp gasoline powered IC engine, single passenger, yards of control cables, weighed 605 lbs. Which one does history remember most?

@elonmusk Worked for SpaceX when the BFR was just a concept. Have the tee shirt, LOL! Ready to see a Starship launch here at the Cape. 🚀

Next flight of Starship and first flight of V3 ship & booster is 4 to 6 weeks away

When I was laid off from SpaceX, I was denied unemployment benefits by the State of California. This after a laborious application process online, multiple phone calls that led nowhere, and several form letters. I had to borrow money to move back to the east coast. I don’t know who is receiving the benefits but, using my example, it wasn’t reaching the intended target. 🤷‍♂️

Wow

@EricSpracklen Barking up the wrong tree. That has nothing to do with the Feds and everything to do with city budgeting and planning. Prioritize infrastructure improvements instead of handouts. Curb the corruption. Stop running off big businesses that pay the lion’s share of taxes.

American cities are literally crumbling while we are spending billions every day fighting a war in Iran. When will we end the madness and put America first?

@PramilaJayapal No need to punish achievement and engage in demagoguery of the wealthy or class warfare. Get rid of the blatant corruption and thievery of taxpayer money. That’s it.

Let me break this down simply: We have a greed problem. We can afford Medicare for All. We can afford to house every person sleeping on the street. We can afford to make public college tuition free and guarantee access to universal pre-k to every child in America. The money exists. It's just sitting in the bank accounts of billionaires who write blank checks to corrupt politicians to make sure it stays there. Tax the rich. Fund the people. That's it.

@DisrespectedThe No Kings?

We're not a serious nation.

Again, steam engines are torque monsters. The only modern engines that come close in terms of performance are diesel engines. Diesels run much more efficiently, at nearly 98%, more so than even gasoline engines. Figure out a way to superheat water (300+ degrees F) efficiently and we would be back to running steam engines.

This old steam tractor can pull 44 ploughs at the same time - I wonder if modern tractors can even achieve that feat, or is older really better: 🤔
