Picture

You may have noticed that the picture at the top of the page obscures "Dilong paradox", leaving only "us". So, to solve the problem, I inverted the colors of the image, making it black. This rendered the "Dilong paradox" part visible, completing "Dilong paradoxus". (Ta-da!)

My new submarine

This is my new creation: A submarine with Azipods (A-zee-pods), Which are swiveling propellers. A future version may have a Magnetohydrodynamic drive...

100/more soon!

Hello! Sorry for not writing for a bit...I just forgot about my blog. I've drawn some new Dinosaurs recently, but I haven't been able to post them on deviant art...ARRRGGGGHHHHH! Sorry. BTW, Kiwi:

Computer!

My computer is finally working! I may not be able to scan much...however, I took some of Paleo12's advice...my drawings are quite a bit better now! I should probably do a sauropod soon...I probably have some good skeletal material in "Dinosaurs" By Thomas R. Holtz...

Computer problems/other thing

The problem with my other computer is something to do with the memory...I still can't remember the other thing...maybe I'll use inkscape...

Computer problems/something else that I can't remember...

My scanner is hooked up to the (malfunctioning) other computer...&%$#! Can't...scan...dying...(thunk)

Montana

I'm going to Montana this summer! I'm going to do some dinosaur stuff, and probably think about antimatter-matter combinations...

Antimatter/Amphicoelias

I did some calculations last night, and I figured out that if you combined one kilogram of matter and one kilogram of antimatter, the resulting explosion could be felt in Montana and possibly Idaho. That's a huge explosion! One gram of antimatter combined with one gram of matter would create an explosion equal to 47 kilotons of TNT! A kiloton is exactly one thousand tons, so that's 47,000 tons of TNT!

I was recently running at the Kingston Middle School, and I calculated that A full-grown Amphicoelias could stand with its tail 35 yards away from the end zone and its head would be in the other end zone (on a football field). That's huge!

Antimatter: recently posted on deviant art

Did you know that 1 kilogram of antimatter (2 or three pounds?) equals the equivalent energy of 43 megatons of TNT? For comparison, the largest human-made nuclear explosion was equal to 50 megatons of TNT. The average nuclear missile is equal to 1 megaton of TNT, and can shatter window from 50 miles away!

Tsar bomba...50 megatons

Goodbye coal, hello Uranium!

I could have thought of a better name. Just click on the title.

Railgun!

"The U.S. Navy yesterday test fired an incredibly powerful new big gun designed to replace conventional weaponry aboard ships. Sci-fi fans will recognize its awesome power and futuristic technology.

The big gun uses electromagnetic energy instead of explosive chemical propellants to fire a projectile farther and faster. The railgun, as it is called, will ultimately fire a projectile more than 230 miles (370 kilometers) with a muzzle velocity seven times the speed of sound (Mach 7) and a velocity of Mach 5 at impact.

The test-firing, captured on video, took place Jan. 31 in Dahlgren, Va., and Navy officials called it the "world's most powerful electromagnetic railgun."

The Navy's current MK 45 five-inch gun, by contrast, has a range of less than 23 miles (37 kilometers).

The railgun has been a featured weapon in many science fiction universes, such as the new "Battlestar Galactic" series. It has also achieved newfound popularity among the 20-something-and-under generation for its devastating ability to instantaneously shoot a "slug" through walls and through multiple enemies in video games such as the "Quake" series of first person shooters.

The Navy's motivation? Simple destruction.

The railgun's high-velocity projectile will destroy targets with sheer kinetic energy rather than with conventional explosives.

"I never ever want to see a Sailor or Marine in a fair fight. I always want them to have the advantage," said Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Gary Roughead. "We should never lose sight of always looking for the next big thing, always looking to make our capability better, more effective than what anyone else can put on the battlefield."

The railgun's lack of explosives means ships would be safer, said Elizabeth D'Andrea, Electromagnetic Railgun Program Manager.

The Navy's goal is to demonstrate a full-capability prototype by 2018."

86th post!

It's hard to believe I only have 86 posts including this one...I haven't been posting much recently...sorry!
