Apocalypse Troll Trollicus Apocalyptus User ID: 19827255 United States 09/20/2014 09:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What is more interesting about this is why it snapped. UFO's and all other bullshit aside, the experiment was supposed to measure energy generation. A conductor (the tether) moving through the magnetic field of the earth generated so much electrical energy it vaporized the cable at its weakest spot. Why in the fuck can't we put massive, miles long conductors in low earth orbit and harvest their energy?

A conductor (the tether) moving through the magnetic field of the earth generated so much electrical energy it vaporized the cable at its weakest spot. Why in the fuck can't we put massive, miles long conductors in low earth orbit and harvest their energy? Indeed. The tether snapped because it heated so much and fused as it could not handle the high current that was generated, and that was not expected, so the calculations it was based on were simply wrong. That's perhaps the most interesting fact of the STS 75, and the "debris" that changes direction, and that the pseudoskeptics don't like to comment upon at all. All great truths begin as Blasphemies. G.B.S. GLP is like a diamond mine of information, in the sense that you have to shovel mountains of crap to find the diamonds, but it's still worth the pain. |

Plus we had Comet Hale–Bopp and Comet Hyakutake in 1996 - 1997 that were both visible to the naked eye. And to top it off, Peruvian witch doctors held a ritual in June of 1996 to ward off the antichrist, then in 1996 Marilyn Manson came out with an album called birth of the antichrist.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 62506436 United States 09/20/2014 01:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why are people trying so hard to debunk this ? You can debunk anything if you try. Hey people of Earth, guess what !! The Earth is flat. Why? Because all you see is flat land. See ? You can literally debunk everything. You must question everything. Being a skeptic is good but important to look at the whole picture. Is it possible that something is stranger than fiction? Yes. Is it possible that there are things that you don't understand? Yes. The objects swarming the tether are large, that part is obvious. The tether is 13 miles long and approx 90 miles away from the space shuttle when the video zooms in. These objects have many similar characteristics. The are all the same shape, they "pulse" in a cyclical motion, and some speed up, slow down and turn. Stopping right there…..enlighten me on what else might do that? Seriously, what does that? These objects fly BEHIND the tether. If the tether is 13 miles long, using that as a gauge, how big are these things? Get it? The zoomed in film is being filmed with a camera located in the payload bay of the space shuttle itself. Open your eyes and mind. Stop listening to the people who have the smear agency. Make up your own mind and stop following the herd. It is what it is. Make up your own mind……….. |

A reflector telescope has two mirrors. The large primary, and also the smaller secondary that's in the incoming light path. That 'black hole' is actually the secondary mirror blocking the incoming light. As far as the tether incident is concerned, was there an obstruction in the light path causing a similar effect? I can't answer that, because I don't know what type of equipment they used to film it. |

If you are going to say it's been debunked, then you must explain the objects changing course, since there's no explanation for the objects changing course??? This was an awesome experiment gone wrong, it didn't "bust". It was blown off the shuttle, explosive bolts. Because of the current issues from the tether. The UFO's in the video are very curious indeed. The video you provide is VERY lame on it's science. All they explain is the "out of focus" part.

Quoting: Apocalypse Troll Why in the fuck can't we put massive, miles long conductors in low earth orbit and harvest their energy? The energy is coming from the change in orbital momentum of the conductor as it flies through the magnetic field. The conductor is slowing as it generates the current due to induced emf. You would have to constantly re-boost the conductor or it would reenter the atmosphere and burn up. It is essentially the same as a spinning turbine. Without the falling water or steam, it will spin down. The amount of energy required for the orbital boost? Exactly the amount of energy produced by the generator plus the efficiency losses and any hysteresis. It is an all around energy loser. A very expensive one. hth. R. |
