Big try at gravity wheel

This sounds very interesting.  But (of course) I have some questions.  If you can indulge me, you imply that sub luminous speeds are a limiting factor, which I would have to agree with.

So how are the circuit manufactures surmounting the "light speed" barrier?  Have they found a way to have electric currents travel FTL or are they just shortening the circuit path, or what?

FYI, I am not trying to trip you up or anything.  This is extremely interesting to me and I would like to know more about it.

As much as FTL would be nice, it doesn't exist in any form that anyone knows about.  The circuit manufacturers just deal with the problems and they are getting exponentially more difficult as bit rates climb.  At 25Gbs, inside a circuit board, a pulse only goes about 1/4" in one bit time.  It is sort of good for the capital test equipment makers.  In order to play in the current space, one needs a lab with at least half a million minimum in test equipment.

Hi,
   Neither RAR nor HER could be described as elegant machines. One can imagine the problems
with inertia with RAR and HER if anything of a useful operating speed were to be achieved.
   Has anyone heard anything of these machines recently. Sterling said of HER that he was to
wait 'till end of Feb. for any news-but didn't say which year!

I think that 48 hour rundown observations of HER's ZED by Mark Dansie were first supposed to happen in 2011.  Just as in the John Worrell Keely fan dance script, the schedule for any critical observations moves out, and out, and out.

I could be wrong, but I am not aware that RAR has ever promised any demonstrations of their machines operating as they claim.

so.

what the answer you got when you asked them in 2012 MArkE,
did they promise you something?

I got the run around.
