L11[11:07:28] <Mat2ch> Ah, Everyday Astronaut

L12[11:07:46] <Mat2ch> Ah, Everyday Astronaut finally released the long video about Starship lunar lander

L13[11:07:53] <Mat2ch> only 15 tankers to fly it apparently...

L14[11:12:33] <Althego> 105 minutes

L16[11:14:04] <Mat2ch> movie length

L17[11:37:17] <Althego> leet time

L18[13:45:04] <Mat2ch> I'm almost done with the video. We really need fusion drives.

L19[13:45:26] <Mat2ch> Or a casimir drive.

L20[13:45:48] <Mat2ch> I have an idea for one, but I'm reluctant to write Sonny White...

L21[13:53:03] <Althego> we could use some new drives. anything but the nuclear saltwater rocket

L22[13:56:07] <Mat2ch> I think my idea could work.

L23[13:57:04] <Mat2ch> The idea of the casimir effect is that if you put two plates close together only virtual particles with wavelength under the distance between those two plates will exist.

L24[13:57:47] <Althego> whichcauses a slight force one the plates

L25[13:57:50] <Mat2ch> Now if you choose the distance in such a way that only electrons and positrons can exist, you will be able to move those electrons and positrons with an electric field

L27[13:58:31] <Mat2ch> so place an electric field tangential to the plates and on one side you should get electrons flying out and on the other positrons

L29[13:58:50] <Mat2ch> this should already make a conductor of some kind.

L31[13:59:15] <Mat2ch> but we also know that we can bend electrons/positrons into a ring shape, because that's what we do in particle accelerators.

L32[13:59:58] <Mat2ch> So you have electrons flying out, you bend them opposite of the direction you want to go and do the same thing with the positrons and now there should be a pushing force.

L35[15:51:53] <Mat2ch> FLHerne: Uh, Sefton needs a bit of anti-fouling. On the inside.
