Project Ziggy stardust. * 2
    #26537746 - 03/16/20 01:29 AM (3 years, 10 months ago)

I just googled "can static electricity exist inside a perfect vacuum?"  And instead of offering web pages about the topic,  google just straight up answered it in the terms I would use,  and with a few simple examples and their conditions.  You just never know the questions your brain will ask. 
And why would I need to know?  Because my girlfriend asked me about an "air" instrument where you manipulate the flow of air with hand movements, then it occured to me, she was describing a theremin.  So I explained to her that's its actually feilds you are manipulating and not air.    But then I thought about it and realized air probably does play a role,  like, would a theremin work in the vacuum of space?    Feilds certainly work, radiation easily crosses a vacuum,  sound doesnt travel,  so the theremin wouldn't make a sound in a vacuum, but the signal could be broadcast or conducted to a receiver to be generated in an area with atmosphere. 
The takeaway is that static requires a much greater ammount of energy to exist in a vacuum.  So one should assume that a theremin, that has not been somehow supercharged for feild generation,  would not work well in a vacuum.    And one that had been so modified, should produce a very different effect,  as the feild would rapidly dissipate into the vacuum.   

It's probably not worth mentioning that there's the whole logistical problem with having virtuoso-skilled human hands be inside a barometric space where a human cannot survive.

Maybe if someone made a superpowered theremin, and sent it up to the ISS to be used on spacewalks,  we could call it "Project Ziggy Stardust"  in honor of naming military campaigns after things only somewhat relivant.  They could probably even gather data useful for something yet to be determined.

*raises hand* "Sir? What is the practical application of this exercise?"

Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

As long as there is enough energy to connect to the other side, electrons may travel through the space between two objects. Technically they are always traveling through space, a vacuum is just a macroscopic concept for a larger distance through space.

But yeah, I think you have the gist of it.

Threaded.

This made me think of a movie idea. The muppets with miss piggy as "Piggy Stardust". It could be a David Bowie doc on his life, with muppets.:grin:

Yeah, you know I'm really all for anything muppet.  At least if the crew has half the heart of those old Henson, hand-picked folks,
I really approve of that new dark crystal series, that was amazingly good.

The early 2000s sci-fi series Farscape its pretty good for that kind of thing too. There was one episode with Skeksis-like villains. I'd like to see more stuff with puppets, completely different feel from CGI.
