When you say that "there is little that can be salvaged from the papers" I am wondering just what it is that you think _can_ be salvaged from them.

I mean, they aren't even printed on real paper, so that can't be recycled.

Seriously... just what is there of any value that you see in those documents?

The only way that anything could be "salvaged" would be for Donny to withdraw his co-authorship. He might be able to salvage some professional reputation if he did that.

If a technician applied for a job with your firm, and did what Donny did for the first four hours on the job.... would you keep him around? Donny needs to disassociate himself from his childhood friend, professionally at least, before he shoots himself in the foot. Because the information about his involvement is now public and associated with his name, with video evidence. Before it was just an obscure daft manuscript that had his name on it, no real harm there, nobody will read it anyway. But now, anyone searching Google for "Donovan Martin" will eventually encounter the video record of his performance.

Also note that she is talking about the "zero reference" of the probe being moved, when it is the probe "tip" itself that is the cause of the problem. She completely does not even grasp what was demonstrated in her own demonstration.

And she completely forgets that she cannot reproduce her own claimed data without making this "error". Will she issue an errata sheet? I predict that she will not. She has never even corrected the bogus math calculation that I keep posting, which is her only basis for the "exceeds capacity" claim, other than the confabulation of the "BP" test years ago, for which there is absolutely no corroborating evidence at all, zero zip nada not even an email. Surely an offer of a "bursary award" would have left a public paper trail. If it had ever existed, it certainly would have done. Will she retract? Of course not. Will she even "publish" the correct schematic (again) that she is actually using, as Weir told her to? I even doubt that.

Where are the screen captures that were made under Weir's guidance? Will we ever be allowed to see those.... and analyze them for her?

Poynt:

That was a great clip.  I look forward to seeing your full sequence of tests.  This one cut the to chase and showed the end result - an explanation for and correction to the issue of the negative average power measurement.  That kills Rosemary's premise right there.  So I found it flabbergasting to see her comment, "Thanks Poynty, That was very clear."  What???  That might be a shock/denial reaction.

Just a technical question or two.  In all of your CSR current measurements we know that you have a 'compromised' ground reference that is bouncing up and down relative to the true battery ground.  I also assume that all four channels of the scope share a common ground.  So that bouncing ground reference will compromise your measurement of the battery voltage, no?  You left the ground reference of the Vbatt channel floating, which is understood, but you still have a compromised battery voltage measurement.

My thought process is that since you know in fact that you do have a stable battery voltage the easiest thing to make the DSO 'happy' would be to emulate that battery voltage.  Have a separate stand-alone battery that is tied to the bouncing ground reference and measure that voltage for Vbatt.  Does that make sense?

Thanks,

PW and TK:

Well, you have won the 'battle' of the Figure 3 issue and Rosemary has conceded defeat.  More appropriately, the simple truth was verified with experimentation.  It was exhausting and arguably there was no point to it at all.  I don't have any answers.

It's up to you Rosemary to do some soul searching and look back over this bizarre situation where you refused to acknowledge that there was an issue.  Try to learn something from it.

of topic but was thinking of you TK lol plus we need a break from this

That one's a LOL all right.

I'll believe it when I see the YouTube video of the Superconducting Ring Turbine.

The Sonic Blue vision is the development of revolutionary engine design to fundamentally change the way aero gas-turbine engines operate in order to significantly improve the performance of aircraft systems.

   
• Hybrid engine technology developed to offer a highly efficient, supersonic, variable bypass fan ratio engine design.
• The engine operates electrically by generating a large amount of on-board electric power through its superconducting electric turbine ring generator system.
• Engine produces sufficient power to operate the multi-stage counter rotating, superconducting, dual ring motor electric bypass fans and superconducting electric ring motor axial compressor, power generation and thrust comes from 5-stage superconducting axial turbine.
• The 54,700 thrust class S-MAGJET engine (two engines) described is optimized to fly the HyperMach SonicStar aircraft at 62,000 ft, at a specific fuel consumption below 1.05 at Mach 3.3, this performance will be unprecedented and will welcome in a new era of the future of aerospace transport.
• Electrical generation is provided by superconducting ring generators that are powered by the high velocity exhaust thrust from the combustor section of the engine.
