That checks out if there's enough space between the wall and the bulb where it is being heated to the point of becoming rocket propellant, I think this would actually work pretty well for larger rockets and cargo rockets as was stated.

A lot of it fell out of popularity when it became very clear that electrogravitatics theories were false.

Uh, hang on, how does it stay cool? Nuclear reactors require constant cooling to prevent meltdowns, you can't just use the same materials and expect this sort of craft to not begin shooting high energy beams through the hull midflight.

I replaced a municipal clay pipe juncture in North Dakota years back, to make a bigger pipeline tie in, and it was much older. In fact it was pretty damn close to the train yard. If it was buried and made properly the clay pipe shouldn't have failed so soon in the first place, yours was a shoddier example to use.

Reply to Why do we use phase change refrigerants? by samskiter
Without phase change the only movement through the coolant lines would be convection, with hot gas sitting on the top and cold gas at the bottom. You want the coolant to cycle in the direction from compressor intake to compressor output.

My money is on a woman's contribution ignored for 1200 years.

Maybe she was a co-author and they conveniently didn't notice for 12 centuries?

I'm a little dissapointed nobody found a picture of a bunch of kids at preschool or something and sneakily inserted the gorilla into the crowd.

Sounds like radicalization in a pretty ribbon.

IMDB does it with all noteworthy crew and not just actors, though? So I guess if you wanted an explicit actor search method then this works.

Reply to comment by AgoraiosBum in Why No Roman Industrial Revolution? by Magister_Xehanort
I don't think engines have any real place in this discussion. Almost completely nonsequitur, a better example would be things like even the basics of modern chemistry, efficient manpowered or mill powered machinery, or architecture. Not to say romans were bad builders or that their food preservation was poor, far from it, they simply hit their limits far before what would imply an industrial revolution of the time period.

Not to mention they were destroyed by mobs of barbarians, no offense to the French and Germans, and lacked much of the mathematics and scientific understanding to progress.

Yes but nuclear powered rockets and transport in general were fawned upon by generations before the 1970s. I'm just sort of alluding to the sad context of humanities shattered dreams.
