Focus on physics: Tesla's turbine and the B2 and B21 fixed wing stealth bombers

 

Went to McCarrs creek with Alex and Scarlet today. Exploring the option of mooring boat their long term. Seems the yellow buoys are the government moorings (quite affordable) and the red buoys are the private ones (12 times more as including a concierge complimentary boat ride to your boat on the swing mooring). Starting to like the option. 


Alex and I went yesterday and got a ride from American colleague. He says he was a microbiologist from LA and worried a out the virus, made me wear a mask. Ever since the first time I met him and he mentioned the 'walk of shame' I liked him.

Have been studying the B1 (or B2) and B21 last night. This is considered by the air force to be the door opener that can let in more vulnerable aircraft after knocking out dangerous radar. With the Russians, they make some of the most effective surface to air missiles however I'm not sure how much they want to share with china and what china has stolen from them. With Russian radar, they will typically use a plethora of very sophisticated bandwidths to catch whatever's up there. Still the Americans swear by their B1 and I love that the military won't share this secret program with Congress due to privacy/national security fears. 


Truly the B2/B21 is a thing of beauty.

The B2 costs around 2 billion a pop. Each american taxpayer forks out $30 for it. I guess that includes me in NYC, Arizona and LA, paying my taxes there with my non existent social security number and fake resident alien card. Guess you got to do what you got to do.
