All Groups 11 Order By: Last Active Most Members Newly Created Alphabetical Groups directory Viewing 1 - 11 of 11 groups Methods – Methodological tools for designers Active 10 years, 4 months ago One of the hallmarks of a new discipline is the development of methodological tools as a basis for further analysis. This group will be devoted to discussions on those tools. Public Group / 1 member Prototyping generators Active 10 years, 4 months ago What would it take to prototype a generator? Hauser and Droscher have suggested some requirements within their publications. Those requirements are discussed here. Perhaps you will be the one to first build a […] Public Group / 2 members Membrane fields – Containment Active 10 years, 4 months ago Membrane Fields – static attractive “containing” force acting as a bubble. Containing field allowing containment of inert atmospheres for specialty welding or virtual fishbowls are suggested. Small membrane fie […] Public Group / 1 member Push fields – Transportation Active 10 years, 4 months ago Push fields – this symbol suggests a stationary pushing force suggests the potential for pushing against surfaces and other objects. If a force is sufficient it should be able to lift the weight of the generator p […] Public Group / 2 members Pull fields – Tractor beams Active 10 years, 4 months ago Pull fields – a dynamically deployed attractive force capable of being shaped to act upon objects at a distance could act as a ”tractor” beam to draw closely any objects with mass. Traction fields put […] Public Group / 1 member Thrust fields – Propellantess propulsion Active 10 years, 4 months ago Thrust fields – Propulsive acceleration of a mass without fuel. Propellantless propulsion was originally envisioned for long distance space travel, but may be used also for putting objects into near Earth orbit and […] Public Group / 1 member Suppression fields – Transport Active 10 years, 4 months ago Suppression fields – such fields would provide a constraining” force for containing liquids and the motion of particles. Suitable for suppressing motion on a molecular and granular scale for constraining the sh […] Public Group / 1 member Lensing fields – Optical effects Active 10 years, 4 months ago Lensing fields – Gravity lensing is normally seen on a galactic scale. It is used by astronomers to describe gravity’s bending of light near astronomical bodies. Shaping paths of light for optoelectronics and […] Public Group / 1 member Shear fields – Industrial-Manuf Active 10 years, 4 months ago Shear fields – though this icon represents the potential for shaped gravity-like fields to shear thin materials such as foils and gels without being touched by actual tooling materials, there is also the potential […] Public Group / 1 member Barrier fields – Shields Active 10 years, 4 months ago Barrier fields – a stationary repulsive gravity-like field would repel particles and droplets, making it a potential mechanism for material-less windows, dust barriers and rain shields at low intensities. Repulsion […] Public Group / 1 member Intersecting fields – Shaping gravity Active 10 years, 4 months ago Intersecting fields – what would be the result of intersecting gravity-like fields? Could portions of fields intersecting with other fields cancel or reinforce them? It is possible to create data models for […] Public Group / 1 member Viewing 1 - 11 of 11 groups
