Every physical product is made of only three things: Intelligence, Dexterity, and Energy.
Intelligence: know how to transform matter into something useful.
Dexterity: actually do the transformation.
But energy is needed for both. In the limit, it’s the only *universal* cost.
@Andercot Or a two sided push motor where the spring in our system is doing the work. Likely a continuous trickle catching spring AC but I will keep you posted once we have prototype numbers. It works because the bias spring is weakened, worn but holding just the same.
@Andercot Next time you're driving watch the cars bounce down the road. Each device will be the cost of steel plus an alternator. Vehicle mass will spin the alternator like a topper toy but we intercept the push and the pull. The coil spring dissipates to the ground or air. We OBJ catch
I’m going into my senior year at Duke and building a regenerative suspension with my great uncle. This iteration sits above the coil spring of a vehicle. Any engineers that could help me get some estimates of energy reclamation? Happy to share more. @elonmusk
Together with UC Berkeley we are announcing the laser phase plate - a breakthrough in atomic resolution imaging. This is the brightest continuous wave laser in the world, 100 million times the intensity of the surface of the sun.
Phase contrast plays an important role in microscopy, but it was thought close to impossible for electron microscopy, where it would require interfering with an electron beam. Holger Mueller and Robert Glaeser proposed exactly this using a standing wave laser. It has taken over 15 years to make this a reality. Biohub partnered with UC Berkeley and Mueller to support this work and to engineer and build the technology.
Contrast has been the critical barrier to achieving atomic resolution imaging of the cell. In cryo-electron tomography, a cellular imaging technology that uses electron microscopy, the low contrast makes it impossible to resolve anything but the largest proteins within their cellular context. The laser phase plate removes that barrier.
With advances in AI this breakthrough in contrast will start to open up a new frontier in structural biology, that will allow us to see the molecular machines of the cell, and how they assemble into far more complex and dynamic systems, and understand how they work.
Still working through these but I do think I have energy solved. I will likely have a monopoly on clean energy such that my other goals can be realized. It will be nearly free.
Returning to twitter in hopes of solving just a few pertinent problems
1) analytic idealism/biosemiotics
2) become ultra proficient in all things claude
3) how to provide subsidies in the interim before realized productivity gains
4) post money reserves?/crypto
5) robotics/evs
