On a Way to Detect "Life as We Do Not Know It"

Finding life in the Universe entirely different to the one evolved on Earth elsewhere is plausible. This is a significant constraint for life-detecting instruments that were sent and may be sent elsewhere in the solar system, as how could we detect life as “we don’t know it”?

Prillings for Next Generation Rocket Fuel

The project focus was to develop next-generation solid-sphere prillings that have secondary and tertiary matrixes comprised of microcrystalline hydrocarbon nano particles for use as an advanced hybrid rocket fuel based on liquid layer hybrid combustion theory. We produced prillings in sizes ranging from .25um to 8000um using synthetic PCM's that are highly stable.

Quantum Radiation Space Drive

Impetus & Energy From the Isotropic Radiation

Pressure of the Electromagnetic Quantum Flux

NASA's Breakthrough Physics Propulsion Program1 stated that the vast energy of Einstein's Nullpunktenergie-the Zero Point Energy field of the Quantum Vacuum might one day be harnessed to provide energy as well as Massless Propulsion. Could the solution to the World's energy problems,

Real Time Damage Tolerance Analysis

Presently it takes months for the OEM and/or Aircraft user to determine what damage their aircraft has sustained in its past operations. The data is collected via a flight data recorder. The data, once downloaded, is then compared to the data collected during flight test and other structural test conducted during certification.
