Long ago when my friends and I were "sequestered" to solve design problems, a friend of mine used to design weapons while we coded hardware tests since he was exclusively a hardware person. He was also a Vietnam vet and learned how to innovate weapons from everything he encountered. One day he invented a blow gun with some junk laying around and at intermission in design analysis we tested it. I never thought about it much until now. It was odd and I have never seen a published design like it. I decided to do a little Navier-Stokes on the concept and in the process realized there are things that affect the result which had never been considered since the origin of ballistics itself. That is a bit odd considering that people have been killing other people and hunting with momentum weapons since the dawn of human time. I hesitate to elucidate [ ooh internal rhyme ] since that would be the end result, an acceleration of extermination. [ did that one on purpose ]. It does have application in dealing with the issue of operating, extracting and inserting in fluids or gases using gravity technology. Perhaps this is another piece that will complete the Gravity Guild Trilogy to a complete end to end system for gravity well transport at energy cost near potential difference. Mars is up hill and so is the moon, but Jupiter is down and that brings to mind another exchange that might be possible whereby something goes down hill to Jupiter and another up to Mars. Perhaps that is what nature does in a far more convoluted way. So many things are not known and I only say that because I discover new things every day. If a person is not creative, I could see how they might think everything is already understood and nothing new will ever happen.
