We *were* linked to in Tuesday's xkcd 'What If?' article, so I'm guessing that's why.

Very nice! It's great to see a new idea being properly explored on the site. I've experimented with vortex cannons before, but only the little ones made of a bucket and a membrane. Nothing that can do more than ruffle someone's hair. About the supersonic flow... I'm definitely uneducated when it com...

True CS, but in that case I imagine pure hydrogen would be better. Oxygen is readily available from the air, along with a convenient buffer gas. Carrying just the hydrogen increases your energy density, and is far safer. The fact his buddy says it 'runs on water' is what led me to post my little the...

No offence, but your buddy is either lying, or mistaken. We've been through the whole 'hydroxy as a fuel' a few times on the forum. And these are the facts: 1: Water is not an energy source. You can NOT create a device which splits water using electrolysis, runs an engine with the gasses produced, a...

Jack, I dread the day when I'm stuck in the company of an overly proud parent of either gender. It sounds horrific. Perhaps I can continue your spudgun analogy, but twist it in my direction. I really love spudguns, but as biology would have it, only women can produce them, no exceptions. If I want o...

Snippity Snip Agreed on most points. There's still two that I don't agree with, however. (Damnit, being sucked into internet debate! :? ) I'll agree that there's likely a genetic reason why the average female would gravitate away from science/math/engineering. But this is only a generalisation... I...

Do you think that in a society of women the field of engineering would even exist? Without shoe-horning myself too deep into this debate... I imagine that in a society of women (suppose you could remove the need for a man to reproduce) you'd end up with a considerably different social atmosphere wh...

@Tech I guess it's difficult to make questions always be interpreted the same way... I took that question to mean 'humanity' inclusive of the workers and employees of said corporation, and inclusive of people who would benefit from the services of the corporation. I basically took the 'interests of ...
