Javelin
Cross Reference
There were angular relationships here and it was possible to get the resultants. I liked what he /Galileo/ was doing and I liked the idea of the vector because it seemed to me just as a boy-- I'm standing in the water and I take an oar and I plunge it in the water and the thing comes back. There is something about the javelin having much more directional stability than the baseball. There is something man learned about an arrow and a sphere-- of its controllability compared to just the ball.

Jet engine:
"Such high heats and stresses
Were involved in a jet engine
That it could not be realized
Until chrome-nickel-steel
Was discovered and produced.
And the jet engine
Within only one decade of years
Has shrunk our Earth
Into a one-town dimension,
Which now realized accomplishment
Was mysteriously unanticipated
By any scientific society
Of yesterday's
Government, corporations,
Educators and politicians,
Who even now utterly disregard
The mysterious realization
That synergy now permits
The logically predictable
Humanly conceivable and executable
Rearrangement of environmental constituents,
In ways which are sufficiently favorable

Jet Engine:
"World War II saw the coming in of chrome-nickel-steel, non-rusting with very high tensile strength-- 350,000 p.s.i.--seven times as strong as the steel of 1851 and seven times high in tensile than in compression strength. With this sudden increase in tensile strength you could have enormous releases of energy with terrific thrusts in all our engines, if needed when they're on high heat. Nickel steel suddenly made possible great strength at very high heat. And that brought about the jet engine.
"The reciprocating engine is only 15 percent efficient; the turbine gets up to 30 percent... Then we could have fantastic thrust, but the engine would break up. And the principle of the jet had been invented by the squid long ago. Man was not able to use it for his engine, or thrust, until he got chrome-nickel-steel, and it has such high strength and such high heat that made absolutely possible the jet engine. So the jet engine was something made possible by the metallurgical gains in chemistry. The principle of the jet had been invented long ago by the squid."

"... Running on the water like a duck. You've seen a duck taking off the water or landing: it's like a hammerthrower or a pole vaulter: Jet stilting....
"An omnimedium vehicle could be propelled by twin-angled jet stilts. Omnimedium twin-jet orientable stilts. It could have a turbine jet effect with liquid oxygen for jet propulsion and with wheels. The stilts would converge just above your head. Like stilt walking, when you move the stilt forward it becomes the third compression member which is always initiatale. You'd be hanging from the vectors which converge above your head. A tetrahedron."
"At one stage we had what Burgess called the 'flying bedstead': he thought it could work at low altitude, just above the water with JATO and ram-jets. The ideal would be to put humans in harness with jet stilts."

RBF Definitions
"The vector equilibrium's jitterbugging conceptually manifests that any action (and its inherent reaction force) applied to any system always articulates a complex of vector equilibria macro-micro jitterbugging involving all the vector equilibria's ever cosmically replete complementations by their always co-occurring internal and external octahedra-- all of which respond to the action by intertransforming in concert from 'space nothingnesses' into closest-packed spherical 'some-things,' and vice versa in a complex three-way shuttle while propagating a total omniradiant wave pulsation operating in unique frequencies which in no-wise interfere with the always omni-co-occurring cosmic gamut of otherly frequenced cosmic vector-equilibria accommodations."

Jitterbug
Index Entry
Now I can't have six equilateral triangles around each corner because it would add up to 360° and the system would not come back on itself. So I have limitations. I can't have any less than three triangles to get this inside and outside. There are only three possible structural systems in the Universe: tetrahedron, octahedron, and icosahedron. As I pumped this closest-packed set of 12-around-one, it went down like that-- it went down through the icosahedron phase-- that's exactly what happened when you took one ball out-- it goes through that, and then it becomes the octahedron. So this vector equilibrium pumps between the three possible cases of all structural systems. So you begin to see how it is the framework of how things happen in nature.

Jitterbug
Index Entry
Jitterbug:
"You may remember my manipulation of the flexibly jointed vector equilibrium of 24 external vector members. You may remember that this device, which I call the 'jitterbug,' had the unique property whereby each of the diametrically opposed eight triangles moves towards its polarly opposed triangle in such a manner that the vertexes of the opposed triangles always remain in fixed positions opposite the mid-edges of their respectively opposed triangles; i.e., there are symmetrically reciprocal axes of co-rotation. You may recall that the jitterbug, when so manipulated, contracts in a comprehensively symmetrical manner as the system's 12 vertexes approach their common system's center at the same rates--as the system transformed from the vector equilibrium, through its icosahedral stage, to its octahedral stage, and finally, with polar torque introduced as a consequence of the momentum of the contraction, the whole system contracted into the tetrahedral phase."

Jitterbug
RBF Definitions
"The jitterbug" is " simply a vector equilibrium constructed with flexible joints. When supported, it" is "a perfect vector equilibrium consisting of eight triangles and" six "squares. When released however, it contracts symmetrically, going through a series of phases. It becomes first an icosahedron, then an octahedron. Ultimately it becomes a tetrahedron."

Index Entry
Johansen Gauges:
"In mass production, Henry Ford, in order to have interchangeable parts had to be able to make very fine measurements. And he became very interested in guages for reducing the tolerance of error. Johanses developed fantastic guages. These were block guages with the surfaces so superbly machined that the distances between the surfaces was less than a molecule of the atmosphere. Therefore once you had them together you couldn't lift them apart-- like this-- because the gas couldn't get in. You could only slide them apart. But if you, with Johansen guages, if you don't slide them apart pretty quickly, you'll never get them apart again because they are in such critical proximity that the atoms literally fall inward and coalesce as solid metal. I just wanted to give you another sort of prominent kind of experience that we do have, at least can have, at our Earth level."

Joyce: James Joyce:
"The brush and chisel artists who, despite the literary man's frustrations, tried to follow the scientists into 'nonconcep-tuality' with their 'nonrepresentational' quasi-abstractions are now proven to have been intuitively sound in their conviction that they could really follow or even lead science in the game of intuitive probing. In a sense science behaved more ignorantly than the artists, but the artists' pursuit of science with its various phases of abstraction forsook the conceptually reasonable requirements of the literary man who has been held by society to be the public's interpreter of the significance of the total inventory of evolving realities. James Joyce to a mild extent and Gertrude Stein to a considerable extent attempted to go along with the brush and chisel abstractionists in following the scientists into nonconceptual validity of reasoning, but by and large the world public was left incommunicado by both science and modern art. Both the scientists and the artists themselves became defensively bewildered by the overall and unexpected emergences of major crises of man with none of which emergencies /sic/ either blind-flying science or blind-man's-bluffing art could cope, either positively or negatively."

Jury: Trial By Jury
RBF Definitions
"I think that in trial by jury there is a varying intensity of a telepathic comprehension of how all the circumstances developed. I think the great participation by world society outside the jury room makes its feeling telepathically felt by the juries. I am sure great justice is subconsciously operative that is not, as yet, explicable by man. We will probably understand this as an everyday scientific fact when, in the near future, it becomes established by physicists that telepathy is an ultra-high frequency electromagnetic communication system, possibly beamed and re-beamed by our optical relay systems."
