Plasmoid Generator?

Time for a sunday wacky tech rabbit hole. I noticed a short clip on SOME of Randall Carlson being kinda shocked by something, so I had to look it up.

Turns out he was talking about some cold plasma tech, the Thunderstorm Generator, or plasmoid generator, which was demoed at Cosmic Summit 2024 some months ago.

Here's the short version description.

From an SRS podcast where he talks us through the tech and live demo he saw, together with measurements. From this I was lead to Alchemical Science's demo video from the event.

Though, Bendall strikes me as a guy who has been neglected or something for long and is very eager to prove himself right. The rant after "E=mc² is gone" was kinda funny, filled with stuff arguing against "they", and stuff like "nuclear war is minutes away".

PDF for reference.

This seems like some pseudo science not yet fully understood, but at the same time it looks like other plasmoid generators are a thing through different disciplines while searching.

Would be nice if this actually works and generates clean oxygen as exhaust, though.

Now, I always like to lookup the other side of stories, but I was struggling to find any recent debunkings from this "wave" (Inventor selling books and demoing invention). Although a lot of debunking/speculation/disbelief is available earlier, before this wave.

I'm looking forward to read how people tries to hack this apart, criticise, replicate, and figure out what's happening.

Have a wacky sunday.

Flight 5 soon please

I love the fact that I'm living through a time were efficient and scalable space[insert text here] exists.

Thanks SpaceX. Thanks Elon.

Too bad the worlds fundamentals (law) isn't efficient nor scalable (yet), which is keeping everything waiting.

Always Show Full URLs

Why isn't this active as standard in Chrome?

I believe full URLs should always be exposed as much as possible, because it makes people question things like "What does that https mean?", and also WYSIWYG. Ever tried to just copy paste something, and then a lot of other shit you didn't know was there, was pasted? Yeah, same. And I know why, but I'm guessing most people don't.

So Google, why are we afraid to show the scheme in the address bar?
