Chapter XXIV - Flying Machines Construction And Operation turns its focus toward one of the most essential components in early aviation: the propeller. This chapter breaks down the complexity behind what might seem like a simple rotating blade, revealing how subtle variations in shape, pitch, and alignment can drastically impact a flying machine’s performance. Every designer works with the same basic goal—to generate maximum thrust with minimal energy—yet each brings personal techniques to the…-

Chapter III - Flying Machines Construction And Operation explores the basic aerodynamic principles that allow both birds and aircraft to achieve and sustain flight. Through simple, observable experiments, it reveals how motion and air interaction contribute to lift. These foundational insights form the basis of understanding why flying machines behave as they do once airborne. A common demonstration uses a flat circular piece of cardboard. When dropped, gravity pulls it down immediately. But when it’s…

Chapter 6 of The Crisis of Abundance explores the widening gap between human evolution and modern dietary habits, focusing on the rapid rise of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its more severe form, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). These conditions have increased alongside obesity and metabolic disorders, often progressing unnoticed due to their subtle or nonexistent early symptoms. Originally identified in individuals with excessive fructose intake rather than alcohol consumption, the…-

Chapter XIV - Flying Machines Construction And Operation presents a compelling look into the invisible but powerful forces that shape the journey of every aircraft—wind currents. Rather than offering a theoretical treatment, the chapter captures lived experience, blending technical understanding with the raw unpredictability that every early aviator faced. Arthur T. Atherholt's insights emerge as a focal point, combining personal reflection with lessons learned through high-stakes balloon races and solo…

53. Starship
Starship was born out of Elon Musk’s deep-rooted aspiration to make humanity an interplanetary species, a goal that required a spacecraft far beyond the capabilities of the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy. While those rockets had revolutionized spaceflight through reusability, they were ultimately insufficient for the scale of Mars colonization that Musk envisioned. In response, he launched an ambitious project originally called the BFR (Big F**king Rocket), later rebranded as Starship, a fully reusable rocket…-

Chapter XXV-Flying Machines Construction And Operation reflects a pivotal moment in aviation where advancements in engine technology significantly reshaped aircraft design. In the time since this book's initial release in 1910, rapid progress in motor development allowed for aircraft to operate with far smaller wing surfaces than before. This shift stemmed from both a drop in engine weight and an increase in engine power, enabling planes to achieve higher speeds while requiring less lift-generating area.…

Chapter IV - Flying Machines Construction And Operation presents a clear comparison of the three principal types of manned flying machines: aeroplanes, helicopters, and ornithopters. Each model approaches flight through a distinct mechanism, but not all methods yield practical or efficient results. Among them, the aeroplane rises as the most successful, both in design application and operational reliability. Helicopters are recognized for their ability to ascend vertically using rotating blades, allowing…

Chapter 7: The Ticker: Confronting—and Preventing—Heart Disease, the Deadliest Killer on the Planet
Chapter 7 of The Ticker delves into the hidden dangers of cardiovascular disease (CVD), emphasizing its gradual development and the critical need for early intervention. The author recounts his personal experience with heart disease, revealing a strong family history of cardiac conditions that shaped his awareness of its risks. Despite adopting a healthy lifestyle, his medical evaluations exposed underlying vulnerabilities, highlighting that CVD is not solely influenced by diet and exercise but is also…-

Chapter XV - Flying Machines Construction And Operation opens a timely discussion on aviation’s perceived danger, an issue often inflated by public imagination. Early flight stirred both fascination and fear, and this chapter seeks to realign perception with reality. Rather than promoting flight as entirely safe or inherently dangerous, it acknowledges the balance between risk and innovation while encouraging responsibility among pioneers of the sky. The notion that an aircraft becomes a falling…
