brief breakdown of the combustion chamber system i’ve been working on. the design incorporates regenerative cooling where the jet a fuel (at 2~4 bar) flows through a channel, absorbing heat from the chamber walls (10-15mm). based on the math, the fuel absorbs ~172 kW of heat,

this it probably the greatest deal in all of computing rn

professor: 'it's physically impossible chatGPT: 'it violates fundamental laws r/physics: 'literally cannot be done' guy with a 3D printer and willpower: “watch me balance this inverted pendulum with magnets while your theorems cry'" moral of the story: sometimes you just

y’all ever notice how the same inventions pop up around the same time, even when the inventors weren’t in contact? (wheels, airplanes, polio vax, radio, etc.) this week, i was brainstorming ways to simulate an aircraft with a larger simulated wing area without physically making
