MY FIRST CHEESE - FAILURE
it was supposed to be homemade feta - unfortunately it appears that my sanitisation procedure was inadequate as a pink mold appears to be forming on them
FUTURE POWER SUPPLIES AND ELECTRICAL WEAPONS - From impracticality to superiority without exceeding the energy density of TNT!
I'm working on a future history project spanning the next thousand years, and I've had an interesting time working out the power supplies that will allow laser pistols and gauss rifles to eventually replace old style chemical slugthrowers. I wish to share my work for other writers who want to make their futuristic weapons a bit more realistic, or at least consistent. If my maths is wrong feel free to correct me. Modern power supplies are useless for the task - our capacitors dont provide enough joules and our batteries dont provide enough watts. Future power supplies may be able to solve this, but Routledge's Law claims that "Any interesting battery material for a laser gun would be more usefully deployed as an explosive warhead." I think that is based on the misconception that laser efficiency cannot improve beyond the present and that their only damage mechanism can be as a brute force "heat ray". If Dr John Schilling and Dr Luke Campbell of Atomic Ro...
