20 kN cryogenic methane / liquid oxygen rocket engine... ready to fire. Generated autonomously in a matter of hours by the Noyron Large Computational Engineering Model. Metal 3D-printed in copper (CuCrZr). From pure spec to test in less than 3 weeks.show more

This video shows a static fire test of the... Archimedes rocket engine, developed by Rocket Lab. Archimedes uses liquid methane (LCH.) as fuel and liquid oxygen (LOX) as the oxidizer, a combination known as methalox. During combustion, these cryogenic propellants produce extremely high temperatures (over 3,000°C), hotter than lava. To survive this, the engine circulates cold fuel through its walls before burning it, a technique called regenerative cooling. Multiple Archimedes engines will power Rocket Lab's upcoming Neutron rocket, which is being built to launch satellites and cargo to orbit with lower cost and higher reliability. Rocket Lab is best known for its Electron rocket and is now expanding into larger, reusable launch vehicles with Neutron.show more

A quick test of using 3d drawing with 6DOF... controllers as an "instructor" for a generative AI process. There's so many powerful and fun new ways to create just around the corner.. Here I'm using Dreams, Krea and 3daistudio. The 3d model at the end of the video was generated from the Dreams+Krea output in just around 15 seconds. Only the model on the left is a "true" 3d model. #ai #madeindreamsshow more

NASA has developed and tested this Rotating Detonation Rocket... Engine (RDRE). Engineers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, successfully tested a novel, 3D-printed RDRE for 251 seconds (or longer than four minutes), producing more than 5,800 pounds of thrust. That kind of sustained burn emulates typical requirements for a lander touchdown or a deep-space burn that could set a spacecraft on course from the Moon to Mars.show more

✨ Every time the video models get better, the... try on model on Photo AI also becomes a lot more useful, as a large % of my customers now are e-commerce store And showing clothes in a video is nice for sales! With AI this means stores don't need to do expensive shoots flying a model and entire camera and light crew around the world They can just upload a few photos of their models, then upload the clothes, and describe the setting (like a beach in Thailand) and in less than 10 seconds it's generated, for a video in less than a minute! Below is the input: a dress laid flat, and output: a full video shootshow more

🚨 SCIENTISTS JUST INVENTED A WAY TO PRINT CIRCUIT... BOARDS WITH LIQUID METAL AND IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF TERMINATOR. A startup called Itera has developed a system that can create working PCB prototypes in minutes instead of weeks. You upload your design, and electric fields force a liquid metal alloy into the exact shape of the traces on a glass substrate. The board is then tested and ready almost instantly. Why this matters: • Traditional PCB prototyping can take days or even weeks this could reduce it to minutes • It uses liquid metal instead of etched copper, making it potentially much faster and more flexible for rapid iteration • Backed by $12 million in funding, the company is already focusing on single-layer boards with surface-mount components • The process looks genuinely futuristic glowing rivers of metal flowing into place on command The deeper implication is enormous: We may be watching the beginning of a completely new era of hardware development. Instead of waiting days for a prototype, engineers and makers could design, test, and iterate multiple versions in a single afternoon. This could dramatically speed up innovation in electronics, robotics, AI hardware, and even consumer devices. What happens when making a new circuit board becomes as fast and easy as printing a document? Follow for more frontier physics and future technology.show more

NIH scientists found that retinal organoids, lab-grown models of... the human retina, often don't get enough oxygen during early development. To solve this problem, they created a simple 3D-printed stirred bioreactor that keeps oxygen levels in a healthy range. The result: larger, healthier retinal organoids with improved survival and more consistent growth. This low-cost, easy-to-use tool could help researchers create better models to study blinding diseases and test potential treatments. Read more:show more

Every day I will teach you some "alien physics"... here! Movie 1 shows a Corbino disc rotating under DC power (about 100 amps) with liquid-metal galinstan. Slide 2 shows a schematic version from our textbooks. Slide 3 shows a schematic version which was drawn in a field near Avebury Ring in August 2012. Slide 4 shows how large and detailed it was, with people standing in it! This was part of a series in July-August 2012 meant to teach us the physics of UFO levitation. Think "Maury Island 1947". When we add 3-phase power to a magnet just above this liquid-metal device, then it should lift up like a UFO. Experiments soon when I get the chance. 🛸show more
