[Interview] Fluids Get Really Weird In Space. NIAC 2024

Fluids behave very differently in space. We can make good use of it. For example, a recent NIAC grant was awarded to investigate a Magnetohydrodynamic Drive for Hydrogen and Oxygen Production in Mars Transfer. This is a system that should provide breathing oxygen for a journey to Mars made out of water with no moving parts in it. 🟣 Guest: Dr Alvaro Romero-Calvohttps://ae.gatech.edu/directory/person/alvaro-romero-calvo👉 More about the NIAC project:https://www.nasa.gov/general/magnetohydrodynamic-drive-for-hydrogen-and-oxygen-production/🦄 Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/universetoday📚 Suggest books in the book club:https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1198440-universe-today-book-club00:00 Intro01:39 Water in space09:18 The NIAC project28:31 Nightmares in space35:56 Propulsion 44:19 Current obsessions51:53 Final thoughts📺 VIDEO VERSIONhttps://youtu.be/fnKwzi7nvOU📰 EMAIL NEWSLETTERRead by 60,000 people every Friday.
