the day before yesterday I learned that a woman invented Kevlar. Sadly, I learned from her Obit.

TIL my fave comedian, Robin Williams, went to Detroit Cuntry Day School, a place we frequently drive past (and mock) on our way to Swim meets and water polo games in Birmingham MI

Today I learned about Ulithi Atoll, during WWII. At one time, the largest naval facility in the world.
Some 'splaining, and good pics at the link. Quote:

Today I learned about the Duke Axial Engine, from Duke Engines, down New Zealand way.
It's pretty wild. The engine is so smooth, they start it, run it, rev it, and turn it off, all with a coin standing on edge on top of the engine, per video at the link.... ![]() They've run it as high as 14:1 compression ratio on 91 octane gasoline. That would usually require a lot more octane. I think those boys might be onto something.

They've been around for about 20 years. No matter how good it is, without funding it will languish. True, the car makers and major builders of motors for boats, planes and farm equipment, have a big investment in tooling and their parts supply chain.
Car builders have made several shots to make big strides in the power to weight category. Mazda had developed a new generation Rotary that had reliable seals, ran smoothly with great power, unfortunately the emissions and mileage didn't cut it.
