Testing thermal drift from a 25w LED as well as fine-tuning/testing sensitivity.
Tiny air currents can have a pretty big impact when you're working below the milligram level.🧐#QI @memcculloch pic.twitter.com/2QuGcAKWjH
Also tested some cheap chinesium 'mirror film' online to use as a #QI tapered cavity.

Maybe another brand works better, but this particular one is no good for reflectivity.
Probably need to stop by the metal shop and pick up some sheet metal to bend.https://t.co/EE5HKJatDD pic.twitter.com/m3qe1a1t8T

#quantisedinertia has been carefully tested against a lot of astronomical data (lab tests being done now) & published in good journals. It gets rid of awful #darkmatter, makes physics informational (finally!) & suggests propellantless thrust & new energy sources #reason2bcheerful

Just got an envelope in from Wuhan, China😳

(electronics parts, dated early December).
I'm hoping that all the pollution and plasticizers it was packed in are enough to kill the virus….
But if I don't make it, someone avenge my death.😷😷😄 pic.twitter.com/if7yOOikJ6

#QI replication mini-update,

it turns out 3/4" steel plate is a LOT heavier than aluminum. Over 100lbs.
My arms are freaking dead now😵 pic.twitter.com/SeMpI8TIzd
I soaked it in simple green for 2 days just to be safe.😷😗https://t.co/mcVrXGdoKM pic.twitter.com/ShnNK8rMAI

Side-project this weekend was building a toolpost rack for the lathe.

Modular so you can plug+play lathe bits easier.
Beats rummaging through drawers to find stuff all the time🧙♂️ pic.twitter.com/PCmen5JrMF
#QuantitizedInerti build update:

(baby warp drive)
Cobbled-together mockup with some art+craft mirror film while I figure out how to bend+polish sheet metal. 25w LED.
Issues getting the interferometer balance working with this, some more tinkering+redesigning in order.🥴🧐 pic.twitter.com/Zl7ohpcUPc

A few more random bits from my #QuantitizedInertia #QI build.

The makings of a homemade microgram balance.
Is crazy accurate for doing things like measuring single grains of salt. Well, when it's actually working….🧐 pic.twitter.com/uM3BTjGU3I

There is a viable solution for cosmology that avoids the need for phantom things like dark matter,

Finally finished the lathe tool-post rack.

(holders for some lathe bits)
Had to add some bracing to the back to account for the extra weight, but overall came out well.🙂
It beats having to shuffle through drawers for everything.#machining #CNC pic.twitter.com/7SsDs4SaNX

Stanford scientists have just managed to get photons to wrap themselves up & behave like electrons. This interests me because, after reading a 1979 paper by Jennison, I believe that electrons may just be trapped photons: https://t.co/fhSCVjient

#QuantizedInertia build update.

All the pieces coming together this weekend to do a full proper test of #QI (warp drive theory but with very tiny thrust)
Machined some more components+misc testing.
Resolution is well below 1mg.
(for reference, a sesame seed can weight 3-4mg)🥳 pic.twitter.com/CV78kq82zV
Video of my first successful #QuantitizedInertia replication test.🥳🥳

Still need to rule out thermal currents and calibrate it to scale,
but it does seem to be generating thrust in the right direction.

Broke down the interferometer for a few days so I can test out a different micro-gram balancing method.
One reason is that the design is much simpler so it would be easier for others to replicate.https://t.co/GOBkZ7df69 pic.twitter.com/zKCjd5byLP

Some cone-shaped glass planters came in. I'm gonna try turning them in #QI mirror cavities.😉
If it works, it will be a super cheap and simple solution for other replicators to follow.🙂👍 pic.twitter.com/ccct9AdHJu
The EMDrive is the Wright Bros. of space travel. It is not the end, but simply the means so it.

Once the concept is properly modeled and confirmed, creative advancement will quickly improve the thrust capacity many times. pic.twitter.com/2v9uyIHVtx

#QuantitizedInertia mirror cavity painted, still waiting on some small LED's to drive it.

It's hard to say, the arts+crafts 'mirror film' might actually perform better.#QI pic.twitter.com/r7V8NDpBqf
