Yep! and sorry for my mild hostility. I really appreciate your work on this cool looking bowl. I would rush off and have one printed but its not enough.
When I started this thread it seemed like an obvious shout-out to me as I have mentioned my willingness and interest in building stuff as opposed to doing computer programming.
I posted all the questions and info and my second round of stuff simply because it is necessary. It is one thing to have people doing math all day. No harm there. Hell thats a good thing! If I taught highschool THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I WOULD TEACH IT.
I dont want to see people wasting all their money or worse, getting hurt, trying to build an energetic system that they dont understand. That is why I have been somewhat harsh in my interactions in this arena. I'm mildly worried that someone may really go off a cliff with it which is not necessary.
Your "hundred variations" of it is a wonderful example of the problem I see right off the bat. The crux is this. To build something that works you either need to understand the system you are building or you need to experiment. Let me tell you… blind experimentation is almost NEVER ever a way to discover something. You need more. I could come up with a thousand different ways to do something with your cool Mandelbrot bowl. None of them would work as intended because any process like this that works would have been discovered by accident somehow… or it would occur in nature EVERYWHERE.
Ok, so a side line. Did you know that the chloroplasts in plants (the parts that convert sunlight to ?sugar? for the plant to live gather THE EXACT highest possible energy from native sunlight hitting the planet. This is because it is such a wonderful source of energy and its usefulness has been maximized. Nature does this all the time. Any plant that wasn't optimized this way would eventually be replaced by one that was. Think about that then look at a set of solar panels and think about it again. I wish I could get a plant to produce electricity. :>)
This super simple solid state system that is being presented here COULD exist in nature by accident. If you don't believe me on that then just look up how many fractals exist in the plant community. Fractals and the golden mean are LEGION in the plant world. Very cool stuff. I love to look for them in my garden.
Catch is they are so common and this SNL system exists NOWHERE in nature? If that is the case then it must be too complex to form by accident… EVER… That tells me that it is not merely a 3d fractal shape and some water.
This tells me that we need more information. We need highly refined materials. We need VERY specific conditions. We need more. COULD this be possible. It surely can! I would love to explore it but I wont go on a wild goose chase without a 12 guage, a goose call and some decoys… Which one do you think this thread is?
If you like this type of stuff though check out the Martin Fleischman Memorial Project. MFMP is probably the closest thing to a functioning cold fusion device existing in the open source science community.
Their information is not a mystery to find. It is not a weird unverified thing that may or may not be real. Its all right there. Anyway, have fun and I will be around here checking in… Waiting patiently for something to come along that is build-able. I'm jealous of your cad skills. That is another major reason I never got a 3d printer. I don't have the cad skills to make anything that I want. Instead I have to pay someone to make it for me… or learn cad… uggghhh. But, super cool stuff and IF there is a provable system built in the VQC room that can crack RSA 100 et.al. and or we get the real deal on something that has the necessary complexity and level of detail to actually be likely to work here… Make no mistake. I will be on it like stink on shit. But until that time arrives I will hold my breath and wait.
