using um the the the environmental cues that you can see from a low-flying airplane you you can use you can use inertial navigation systems to calculate how far in a particular direction the plane has gone. And uh and there are allkinds of sensors on the plane. uh so for example there are thing PTO tubes and things like that which would in in
representation of that environment, it can then use these internally generated internal inertial navigation signals. How far the animal has gone in a particular direction to calculate and update the map. So it can say, okay, I
actually has quite a different profile, which is an interesting thing to talk about. But in public funding, in federal funding in the United States, there's two mainline programs called inertial fusion and magnetic fusion. And in inertial fusion, what you're trying to do is bring together and push together by a variety of means, physical means, those particles. You push them together. The most common is called laser inertial fusion.
I had practical navigation at the Naval Academy. And I'd studied inertial and digital under Doc Draper at MIT. And I had led tests and analysis of inertial navigation for the whole Air Force at one point.
This guy's on top of it, because you know what? You can't make inertial dampers. There are certain laws of physics you can't beat.
So he's very capable, competent, mathematician, engineer. He designed an inertial guidance system that is still in use in commercial and military air crafts. So he had this extraordinary career before he became a CEO.
So the original form of Euler's identity has a transparent geometric meaning that's obscured when we write it in terms of pi. The concept proportionality is the inertial mass n.
Here you could see they're banking into the turn here. Surely we must be able to make inertial dampers. What do you think?
There's another kind of observer who is not so lucky. An observer who's in inertial motion-- free-fall-- can't escape gravity's clutches and falls straight through the horizon and into the black hole. And I like to call him Screwed.
were independent of your frame of reference. But so far Einstein had only applied this principle to inertial frames of reference. Those are frames that move at a constant speed.
variety of means, physical means, those particles. You push them together. The most common is called laser inertial fusion. We call the technique that Helion uses magneto inertial fusion, because it does a little bit of both.
In India, only a couple of places-- at least, I know only one place where this work is going on, but it needs to be done, I think, And so for example, inertial confinement, which I mentioned about the laser fusion--
But unfortunately because it's so rare to actually have that kind of mentality and that kind of organizational culture, the positive stories are usually just peripheral examples. And then what we actually see out there is an inertial not very flexible type of bureaucracy, which we can change. We can actually make strategic decisions to train our civil servants in a different way and to frame policy.
And I'd studied inertial and digital under Doc Draper at MIT. And I had led tests and analysis of inertial navigation for the whole Air Force at one point. I taught space mechanics at the Air Force Academy and astronautics for astronauts and the test pilot school.
The contractor, however, did it in-- because normally you do it in newtons or newton meters if you're doing torque. They were all feeding into a thing called the inertial reference system, or the SRI for System Reference-- eh, it's ESA.
That's one of the US instruments from Alan Stern and SWRI. So we have to actually group the different inertial targets when they are shorter distances.
That kind of hologram can be reconstructed with white light. Theoretically possible. Inertial dampers?
- The special relativity is built on one core principle. Which is that the laws of physics are the same for all inertial observers. And this includes any measurement they make of the speed of light.
This is how motion tracking works for screen rotation, gaming controls, and step counting. If you add gyroscopes, you get an inertial measurement unit, or IMU, and Ingenuity has the same IMU as the Google Pixel 3. So the team at JPL had an idea.

This is a fully autonomous drone without the need for any GPS or any other external kind of sensing. It has a color and depth camera, including inertial sensing here. And then we have a kind of Intel Nook computer here.
It's like strategic management, organizational behavior, decision sciences. The whole thing is to help you think out of the box and prevent your own organization as it gets larger to get inertial . We haven't had that same kind of rethink within public institutions.
OK. So you use several sensors. We definitely rely heavily on computer vision here, but we might combine it with inertial sensing, for instance. We build kind of a sparse map of just a couple of landmarks in the 3D scene, and at the same time,
So time machine? Could be. Ah, now here's a favorite bit of physics-- the inertial dampers. I mean, look. Time machines and wormholes, that's like crazy stuff, but inertial dampers, all they do is make sure that you don't like get
it without them. You know, Draper labs started doing inertial navigation for submarines years and years and years ago and they designed ours too. Let me tell you a good example.
It's a three-axis frame with a gyro on each axis and we had to adjust that inertial reference

And in inertial fusion, what you're trying to do is bring together and push together by a variety of means, physical means, those particles. You push them together. The most common is called laser inertial fusion. Our colleagues at the National Ignition Facility did this really well and made world records in the last few years for being able to demonstrate you can do

We also see fully-- Oh, sorry about that. And now, we can also combine that with complementary sensing, like inertial ones.
That's one of the US instruments from Alan Stern and SWRI. If I'm sitting here, and the Sun is back there, and I'm looking at the nucleus, and I have what's called an inertial target, that's
Ah, now here's a favorite bit of physics-- the inertial dampers. I mean, look. Time machines and wormholes, that's like crazy stuff, but inertial dampers, all they do is make sure that you don't like get smacked against the wall when you take a hard turn.
We're gone two weeks. We had one attitude, we had one inertial reference if you will.
track of the drift rates and after we had a realigned the platform after a couple of days the computer then took over and pulsed each of the three x's on the inertial reference
