Answering a question – Is it possible to accelerate neutrons?

Can ever neutrons be directly accelerated by any means of energy ? https://www.researchgate.net/post/Can-Ever-neutrons-be-directly-accelerated-by-any-means-of-energy Riccardo Bernardini This is an interesting article. But search “neutron accelerator” on Google and you get many tens of thousands of entry points. The neutron has a magnetic moment, so is affected by any magnetic gradient. Actually by any energy density gradient

Dynamic dipole polarizability of gold and copper atoms for 532- and 1064-nm wavelengths https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330219250_Dynamic_dipole_polarizability_of_gold_and_copper_atoms_for_532-_and_1064-nm_wavelengths/comments I wrote to Gennady Sarkisov on ResearchGate about your work just now. I was reading his Jan 2019 paper “Dynamic dipole polarizability of gold and copper atoms for 532- and 1064-nm wavelengths” at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330219250_Dynamic_dipole_polarizability_of_gold_and_copper_atoms_for_532-_and_1064-nm_wavelengths/comments and left him this comment. ——————– My

Comment on Why does light slow down in water

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUjt36SD3h8 You explained part of the problem, but not why it follows those paths. That takes mathematics, and you did not use any. Memorizing animations might seem a way to learn processes and use them later, but equations, measurements and precise models are better. You could have at least shown the equations, and more, provided

Comment on Collaboration for Global Problem Solving: The Case for Food

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anOEGXpppIk Too bad the person running the camera did not frame the slides so they could be read. You had some good things to say, but no links to resources, nor framework. Your EAT Foundation is not linked, nor the Atkinson Center. YouTube can be a place for discussion and collaboration, but it takes a

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDyo_OQFdAc I doubt that you read comments that come years after you make a video. But I will leave this in case anyone wants to try to improve on this. I think it is a really good idea and there are lots of tools and methods to improve on it. Particularly for humans, but for

Digital Voice Recorder; Modea Portable Digital, USB Disk Audio Voice Recorder https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CHNBJQR I wanted a low cost way to record while the recorder is plugged in. I hate batteries, and charging and guessing when the battery will fail. So I specifically looked for one that said “will record while charging”. Someone complained bitterly there are

Comment on Electret Mic: How it Works and How to Connect it to a Computer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqLhvg0I2BU Your microphone link says that particular model is “discontinued”. I use Amazon for convenience and there are several electret microphone items worth seeing at https://www.amazon.com/electret-microphone/s?k=electret+microphone They have the electret microphone elements, but there are also some “electret microphone amplifier” breakout boards that are inexpensive and might work. I ordered some, but have not tried

Comment on Building a Digital Magnetic Levitation Platform! video

Richard K Collins Electromagnetic Gravitational Field, Gravitational Engineering, Process Monitoring and Control, Visualizations Simulations March 1, 2022

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhG_qHAvJd0 Fairly certain there is not enough information from one magnetic sensor to uniquely determine the position and orientation of the floating magnet. Once you actually measure the position and orientation of the levitated mass, its magnetic field, and the shapes of the supporting field. Then it is much easier. Do you think those rockets
