    Future Warrior

    Looks like Caroline Levitt retweeted the original report above so in effect Trump is saying the story is true. Doesn’t make it true but looks that way.

    Future Warrior

    It does sound like this though, last I looked at acoustic, the power requirements were insanely high, and there is no way to narrow the beam from 180* dispersal since it is a mechanical wave. Acoustic attenuates at a higher rate than distance squared because of absorption by anything with close...

    K3 Main Battle Tank

    Even with heavy efficiency losses in the fuel cell, hydrogen stores an immense energy by weight, and when you add the new solid state hydrogen storage it stores enormous energy by volume. Solid state storage is basically forcing hydrogen into a metallic lattice so that it is essentially stored...

    K3 Main Battle Tank

    I read it. Fuel cells do not produce mechanical motion. They generate electricity, so “fuel cell” and “diesel” is a contradiction. Hydrogen fuel cell cars, trucks, busses, would all have wondrous range, which is a key limiting factor for tanks; but storing and handling hydrogen is far too...

    Future Warrior

    I got questions about the G11 in another forum, so just to be clear: the G11 was abandoned because the Cold War ended and the appetite for a new battle rifle and the funding that entails just dried up. US Army had put out this specification of extra ordinary rate of fire because they presumed...

    Future Warrior

    I think I got it from Congressman John Fetterman’s Facebook page, but that is not much a sign of authenticity. There are a lot of people who post there. I think we’ll need to wait on verification. This has gone viral. The original post seems to have been on X, and is being circulated by...

    No politics here. Keep it away. This is merely to note what happened in Caracas, because the reports from survivors really make it sound like Delta is bringing new gear to battle. Some would have thought it future gear. “Security Guard: On the day of the operation, we didn't hear anything...

    K3 Main Battle Tank

    Lots of innovation here, but the most surprising thing is the hydrogen fuel cell/electric drive unit. The article drops the ball on this and fails to note the HP they intend, size of battery, whether they are planning on the new solid state batteries, etc. in fact at one point it says “fuel...

    The end of the Kennedy era. On Filoni, let me just say I think he gave Kennedy what he needed to in order to stay involved. If he hadn’t pandered to the feminization of SW, he would have been cast aside long ago. Still, while pandering to the feminists, Filoni gave us some of the best SW to...

    VR is getting official yet experimental support

    When I was looking at the YAWVR chair it seemed immediately obvious it needs a seat belt, or better, a six-point racing harness with a haptic feedback vest.

    Beggar’s Canyon

    The noteworthy thing about Theory’s vid is he is obviously prepared to criticize and hate the vid, and instead he remarks several times how certain sections are surprisingly good. It’s a big deal when haters become lovers.

    I am a crappy judge of video. I’m fooled too easily. Theory OTOH. . . View: https://youtu.be/nm0Tw1PsQ6k?si=phI0SOHT7U9PpZEM

    VR is getting official yet experimental support

    The PiMax headsets do eye tracking, but not to turn guns or anything. The headset has so much resolution that PCs struggle to keep up, so it only paints full resolution where your eyes are looking. The rest has lower resolution that your peripheral vision can’t detect. Pretty cool idea. It’s in...

    Cookies? Really?

    On these forums. For some reason I can’t continue a conversation I last posted yesterday, so the change is very recent. The only guess I have is that I purchased a TEST patch on the merch site earlier, so I entered the website differently and maybe tripped a switch somehow?

    Cookies? Really?

    Anyone else get a message that they can’t send messages without enabling cookies? WTF?

    Haptics. Who’s using them?

    Yes, you. Did that hurt? What’s with wearing a pain vest?
