The fourth state of matter -- plasma | Christine Charles | TEDxCanberra

Показать описание

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Christine employs Interactive experiments with the audience to explain the fourth state of matter, Plasma. This talk provides a new perspective on high technology and the importance of plasma in iPhone, digital cameras, GPS, satellites, space travel...

Christine Charles is a rocket scientist and head of her own laboratory at the Australian National University.

Christine has invented a new space engine which she and her students are developing with support from the Australian Government along with European and American aerospace companies. She transforms the music of the spheres into keyboard jazz with her group, Harmonic Propulsion, that performs around Canberra.

To keep up her strength she canoes down long rivers, cycles and bushwalks.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

This information should be for the good of humanity and life on earth, not scientific domination

I have a connection with TEDxCanberra in that I have been coaching TEDxCanberra speakers for five years. The objective of TED talks is to invite Speakers to share their ideas. And, to include in their performance an "entertainment" factor. Speakers don't ask you to accept or reject THEIR ideas. If you have your own ideas on the subject your comments are welcome. And it would be adult behaviour to remain civil in your comments! In fact, why not put together a talk yourself - up to 18 minutes and without notes! You could publish it wherever you thought appropriate. You'll note that Professor Charles' talk has been viewed more than 73, 000 times. And 484 people wrote to say they appreciated it.

I think Tesla gave the same lecture and demo in 1900, only they thought he was nuts. Fast forward 100+ years to 6:00 and people are still 'ooohing' and 'aaahing' today. How far we have come...

Speaking of Plasma, in 1986 I worked for General Plasma in Woburn MA. I used hydrogen to produce a plasma flame to which I would inject a alloy/ceramic mixture (the contents of the mixture was never told to us) and coat wear areas of the F-16 jet engine. at that time I was in the booth with the part and a turn simple table. no computers or protective garments, just some ear plugs and brazing glasses. I'm sure it took years off my life. your welcome GE.

We've already been there, but the Secret Space Program was, till now, well, secret. It now comes, bit by bit, in the open.
One day we will improve our lives with all those technologies which have been kept away from us. Soon, hopefully!
Nevertheless, great talk ! Et Vive la Bretagne! :-)

So cool to work in a plasma, science, and art industry and here about people using the same tech to great new age rocket ships. Inspires me to keep doing experiments and exploring.
