I am working with researchers at my university who can detect landmines (metal or poly) from a high alt aircraft. They can pretty much detect anything buried under sand or dirt. It would totally work on guns under cloth. This technology has been around for a few years. The reality is there...

Photons can have mass- As the particle is accelerated to ever higher speeds, its relativistic mass increases without limit. Thus a laser can have mass. But not much :)

I wonder if people (or CNN) would feel the same seeing Uncle Ted shoot 400+ pigs from a helicopter in TX with his M4..... I have no problems with this practice, but unless people realize just how bad the pig problem is here in the south, I just don't see them buying in to the AR need. And...

Things were different in Maine when I lived there as a kid. Visiting my Mom this XMas, I was greeted by her liberal neighbor on the ferry reminding me how important gun control is. We had crossed swords on the 2A before, and apparently she was still wound up about it. Portland has become a...

Now that is how to chop wood!

Solid Works! The trend in industry today is to build everything in a Sim environment and do the testing and modeling there. You can work out major design flaws and only have to build one or two actual prototypes... the way of the future :D

I would second the opinion that the Govt is a a tough partner to work with in some areas. Funding fundamental research (like through DARPA) is where they excel though. The advice given above about changing an invention by 15% is an internet myth right up there with mailing yourself an...

SO this in effect is what I do. I work for a University doing patents and licensing for inventions created during the course of research. Your situation is not unique, I talk with hundreds of inventors in the same position each year. Your Provisional Application is a good first step, but as you...

If I can make it through two more semesters of grad school I am going to get myself a nice present. Maybe a AR from scratch or some optics....or a new pistol.... so many choices I may need another degree to get more stuff..

Just got a Sig p230 in stainless for 300 and a 12 pack of beer.

the alcohol was not actually at -110F. the ammo was in proximity to -110F dry ice. but without a actual temp reading of the liquid, you are not anywhere near -110F.

High speed low drag- One swiss army pocket knife- been in my pocket for over 15 years, feel nekid without it One Sig P230 IWB at 4'oclock andddd..... that's it. Ohhh and forgot my phone.....now that's it

This Valentines day my wife gave me a new Beretta 92fs. Out of the blue, she talked to my friends and went to the LGS and did it all on her own. I was VERY surprised and thankful!

Sig P230! I just got one and am totally in love. 9mm Kurz..... FM

Twist. Take the top of the snake and start twisting. Twist the snake as long as you can and as the twisting compresses the snake, pull. this will work. Throw some oil in there if you want. But try twisting.
