I don't think it's that, either, given the rate at which they are involved in overt censorship, over the last years.

The boss of the WEF, Klaus Schwab, publicly said "In 2030, you will own nothing and you will be happy."

Let that sink in. That's how psychopathic those people are.

A good reminder that nuclear energy is not so "green energy" after all.

This study's sample size is 1,006 cases.

Houston, we have a problem.

Define "[flagged]".

‘Goblin Mode’ is Oxford's 2022 Word of the Year.

‘Died suddenly’ will be Oxford's 2023 Word of the Year.

> "do this for me" VS "answer my question"

The boundary is probably not always easy to define. And so I would ask myself - would there even really be a need for such a boundary? Why not simply increase the reward, if your question/problem is bigger than most?

Could it be that times have changed, evolved? Or that the SO folks don't know or understand everything?

> There is a market for people like me that have wasted days

Days? I know I must have wasted weeks, in total.

And not to mention how this can pull you down emotionally/mentally, when you just don't find the solution to your problem. Having someone pull you out of a deep hole is worth money.

Where else could you get such quick/easy "consulting" on such a simple question-basis?

I'm generally hard to scare, but why not talk it over with a couple of engineers? Either they're going to tell you "it's not going to work b/c that's what we've been told in school" and you'll sleep better, or you're going to be very rich and you'll also sleep better.

Like Monty Python said: Always look on the bright side of life. Assuming you're right, then your first buyer would be the US Army. You would never have to work a single day in your life ever again. :-)

Well, this is only my humble opinion, but what I see here is a pretty low-tech (and thus rather easy to build) way to produce free energy. Which means 0 pollution (once it is built), which to my knowledge doesn't exist elsewhere in this manner.

I don't see "arbitrary (relativistic?) velocities" as you say. There must be mechanical limits to the speed of the rotation here. What is unlimited is the duration that the engine spins.

When you say "weaponization of this technology could potentially threaten all life on earth", I actually think of nuclear energy, as in the one we have right now.

I'm not a mechanical engineer at all, unfortunately (most of HN readers are probably working in IT). And I don't have access to mechanical engineer friends, or the budget to pay people. So I hope someone is getting on it really fast now, because I'd say we need this urgently.
