Standard Table Conditions Discussion

PW98 you sound very capable. Your understanding of applied math is very interesting.

If you want to start on a collaboration then I prefer to put you on the Larsson Cue project. I call it the Larsson Cue because its a solenoid pool cue.
How would you use a pool cue that is a solenoid to displace a magnetized cue ball with consistency and accuracy?

Your previous post might be overly ambitious for your skill level at the moment. I don't like advising students but you seem highly motivated to discuss it on the forum. Understanding how a scalar field works takes a few years of understanding linear algebra, I just don't think you have the pre-reqs. It will take me too long to get you to up to speed.

Based on your insight try to solve the cue ball displacement and solenoid cue stick problem first. At least get a sense for scale when solving the problem, your last post seemed lack clarity.

But you've never provided any math, and you haven't even provide a number.

You still haven't answered what you're selling in your pop up shop, and all those people you say are buying your Maxwell Cloth, but you can't say what exactly you're selling them?

I can understand why you'd want to change the subject, and stop talking about your Maxwell Cloth, Maxwell Balls, and Maxwell Pockets.

Have you given up on the programmable cloth?

You said you've taken a business class, but did you pass it? Based on your comments, I'd say 'no'.

Now you seem to describe yourself as a consultant, looking for millions of dollars and a supercomputer to develop your idea. I don't think you know much about supercomputers or computational electromagnetics either. I suppose you're trying to change the subject there as well.

Research grants come about after preparing and submitting a research proposal. I've been on both sides of that - writing research proposals in search of funding, and sitting on a committee that evaluated research proposals to determine if there would be funding support. So far, your comments show a high-school level (maybe) word-salad of terminology, but nothing else.

Have you ever produced anything?

Provide contact info that you are a person that can provide funding, then I can explain top secret classified knowledge.

I have a BSC and MSC in CS so I am not a student anymore.

After reading about scalar fields for a minute wouldn't the larrson cue be more of a vector field when you hit something other than pure centerball with the poles of the cue and cueball aligned in parallel, and when you hit center ball with the poles of the cue and cue ball aligned perfectly parallel it is a scalar field?

Anyways in the first case it sounds like a multivariable differential equation (which is obviously way above my head) with a rotation of the cue stick and the cue-ball prior to the shot for aiming (basically a rotation of the coordinate system) applied to the general solution.

The first case sounds like a single variable differential equation and I will be honest with you that I never had to take diffeq course for my degrees so I can be of no real help for a general solution beyond what I've already stated. However, it seems doable for an undergrad student with the diffeq pre-req.

Based on your response I will guide you with a hands on approach.

Its called the Larsson cue because a player in a wheelchair wont have the same range of motion as a standing player.

If you want to advance the Larsson cue then try:

One can compressed air push the cueball like a normal stroke?

Two can you redesign the bridge to be mounted on on a cue stick with fine adjustments. Ideally fixing the bridge to the cue means only one hand is needed to play pool. The problem is making adjustments for when obstacles are in the way.

As for your understanding of mathematics, I am sure you can pass the exam. Did you have plans to teach math? If you did I would strongly advise you to stick with CS it pays better and is easier to find a job.

I know your posts so far have just been ramblings without any structure or actual details, but you could have someone in your lab provide a one-paragraph executive summary describing your Maxwell Cloth project, and also your Maxwell Balls. and your Maxwell Pocket.

You don't have to include any of that harder stuff, like diagrams, or mathematics, just put the usual word-salad together. You don't even have to include any of the secret classified knowledge, just a general summary of what you propose to do.

I can give you a technical review, just as if you submitted to a research committee.

I am not sure if you are my peer or my student. For all I know you are foreign intelligence using a chatbot trained on Azbilliards and Math.

You have only been a member for 5 years. In that time you could have completed an undergraduate mathematics degree.

If you dont like calling everything Maxwell, then I can call it an EM pool table. Or more affectionately the Emily table. Emily is programmable, has memory and operates without an OS.

Ha! Ha! I'm certain that I'm not your student, and I'm certain you're not my peer in terms of physics and mathematics knowledge.

There's nothing wrong with the name Maxwell. You can use whatever name you like.

Is that your project summary? One sentence? You won't get any funding if you can't produce a one-paragraph summary of what it's supposed to be.

Maybe that's the point?

A pool table with infinitely long shots is a one line summary. An experimental pool table that combines all the latest technology gives researchers new engineering/design problems. Initial funding will develop the theory. Followed by the working model.

Its a model "calculator" for a Lagrangian System. Gravity and electromagnetism unified is what this project will demonstrate on a pool table.

Instead of firing a pool cue can you image firing an EM beam? There are other applications worth discussing.

That's just word-salad and tech-babble. All it says is you want funding to play in your mother's basement.

If you're just playing, then there is no end-goal. You're just playing.
If you have a project, then there has to be an end-goal - a deliverable result.

The difference between a dream and a plan is the existence of a timeline. How long will it take you to do a, b, c, and d.?

The magnetic balls already exists.
I can make very cheap clay balls with magnetic shavings likely a day production time.

As for the cloth, the quickest would be to sectionalize the table into programmable dielectrics (or capacitors), I would want at least a year for that.

For both systems to work and perform similarly to a billiard table, that is a multi year plan, with clear milestones.

Ive added some pictures to simplify the explanation. If you can put the ideas together then maybe you can explain it better than my word salad.

I am giving up more ideas, than you are. Anyone smarter than me can build this better because of their access to specialized equipment?

Well, no. You're not providing ideas, you're still providing word-salad, together with the NEW image-salad.

Spend $10 and buy a set of those kid's toy magnetic balls. Try and set them up as if you were racking 8-ball, and then try to play a mini-pool game with them. You'll see the problem.

You have stuff in your basement you can use to make a fabric covered capacitor. Try it with your magnetic balls and you'll see the problem.

You're proposing a multi-year project, with the apparent end goal that it will "perform similarly to a pool table". Why not just use a pool table? You haven't proposed any value for this project, except that it will pay for your Doritos, Diet Pepsi, and weed. Why do you think your project, even if it could be done, would be useful to anyone?

You could propose a 49cc gasoline-powered Pogo Stick, and that's something that could be made, but who would want it? (Well, actually, I would kind of like to have a Turbo-Pogo for myself, particularly if it comes with the 'off-road' package and Full Self Driving!)

A timeline isn't just an end-date. It's a 'line' of dates. You need to describe your project in steps, with an estimated time for each step.

I solved the tight rack with magnets that are weak. See the diagram.
To make it a working solution the ball need adjustments to keep the center of mass true.

Let me know your assessment of this solution for a tight rack. I assume you can understand what the binary color scheme means for magnets.
