Quantum Levitation
I had never seen this effect before. “Super Cool” pun intended.
Gauss – Home Built
Electromagnetic field used to pull the bullet down a barrel and launch
Pretty cool and well done for a home built
Power isn’t there just yet but it is a start. I wonder how many years until this is the way to shoot?
The Amazing Randi
The ultimate man in debunking fakery and he could have made millions being a swindler, instead he exposed all of them. A great man, and a personal hero of mine.

Needless to say, I look at their stuff often. Just to see what they are up to.
Wireless Electricity – Tesla’s Dream
Standing on the shoulders of GIANTs this guy is on to what we should have been doing for years.
Eric Giler wants to untangle our wired lives with cable-free electric power. Here, he covers what this sci-fi tech offers, and demos MIT’s breakthrough version, WiTricity — a near-to-market invention that may soon recharge your cell phone, car, pacemaker.
About Eric Giler
As the CEO of MIT-inspired WiTricity, Eric Giler has a plan to beam electric power through the air to wirelessly power your laptop or recharge your car. You may never plug in again.
IBM Scientists First to Image the Anatomy of a Molecule
This is amazing stuff.
I wonder what then next thing will be?
As reported in the August 28 issue of Science magazine, IBM Research Zurich scientists Leo Gross, Fabian Mohn, Nikolaj Moll and Gerhard Meyer, in collaboration with Peter Liljeroth of Utrecht University, used an AFM operated in an ultrahigh vacuum and at very low temperatures ( 268oC or 451oF) to image the chemical structure of individual pentacene molecules. With their AFM, the IBM scientists, for the first time ever, were able to look through the electron cloud and see the atomic backbone of an individual molecule. While not a direct technological comparison, this is reminiscent of X-rays that pass through soft tissue to enable clear images of bones.
