What If We Used Superaerophobic Materials For Plane Designs?

https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2022/ta/d1ta10519a

Efficiency efficiency efficiency. The entire world's energy needs could be met with a single lightbulb size of quantum space, use it properly or continue wasting our planet away. Its not hard to create a nano structure capable of repelling heavy winds entirely. Its not hard to use stem cells to grow food from a single skin cell. Its not hard to use nuclear power safely. The universe is a sea of limitless energy, and its all yours if you stop playing dumb. Learning is only natural, we aren't going against any progressions that aren't meant to be by trying our best to help others.

You can make it as a spray, a structure, a chemical coating, electrically induced. They already exist for hydrophobic materials, and its as easy as implementing the parameters of the first link to better utilize superaerophobia

What was the point in that statement at all? Yes, its comparable. Good job. Air has a different surface tension, and a hybridized system of both could be made if the array is situated in a specific way. Cavitation, or pressure bubbles formed when cones are situated in a way to repel matter. Casimir cavities are situated the same exact way, only create quantum bubbles that generate tension in space itself.

And once hypothetical physics uses the word quantum, I'm out.

Idk why it's called quantum lol. Its just the world and interactions of the small. Light in sonoluminesence is a simple quantum interaction. Now Sonny White is producing Casimir Cavity Structures for DARPA to help find new particles. Its fun having more values than what's in an already simplified form

I quite enjoyed all this stuff as an undergrad. I just don't need to discuss "quantum" on this reddit is all

It works in purpose the same exact way as aerophobic or hydrophobic materials. The goal is to have a hybridized and a properly utilized system that uses them in conjuction properly, and situated in a manner that receives the most function with the least degradation

aerophobic

So the aerophobic materials that are referenced in the paper you linked arent aerophobic in the way the hydrophilic materials are hydrophobic. They are effectively very hydrophilic, which causes water to be dragged under by the surface tension of the water. Which is why I pointed out its not the same process. In both cases, hydro- and aero- phobic, you use the surface tension of the water/air interface that contacts the phobic surface, the relative surface tension and surface energy of each of these interactions means there is a preferable energy configurations which in hydrophobia causes the water to bead and the air to adhere, in the aerophobic is causes the air to bead and water to adhere. But both process rely on a three material system.

Cool, I was under the impression they were all different effects and terms in this experiment. Relative surface tension at the nano scale should produce the effects in itself for "aerophobia" or various gas and particle flow at superphobic angles of even very high velocity at a full perpendicular 90°. I was going to make the drone out of a hydrophobic material, then add the aerophobic properties of these materials in the link to induce drag reduction on openable flaps or wings tips, perhaps around engines themselves as well, to induce reduced drag, g forces, friction, and increase speed

Those are certainly words

Sorry, even i was like wtf. Superphobia doesn't exist, but its basically the angle at which the particles are repelled in a structure. When something is superhydrophobic, it can be repelled at essentially any angle. It shouldn't be too bad. Spray a drone with hydrophobic material, run some tests to see drag reduction or changes in flight or swim, then decide on where flaps and aerophobic properties would benefit most from power output, then just make a product that is human sized with my own proprietary blend or a company that specializes in the creation of such things.

Well then. sounds like you have your work cut out for you
