Technology Associates Inc.(remembered)
The EternaLight assets of Technology Associates, Inc.
have been transfered to EternaLights, LLC. All orders
and services issues will be handled by them.
History:
In 1992,
Thomas Hoops and Derone Bryson founded Technology Associates.
In 1994, their partnership incorporated under the name
of Technology Associates, Inc. Between 1993 and 2000,
Technology Associates successfully operated a small
chain of computer stores in the Reno/Sparks area which sold
and serviced computers.
Technology Associates was also one of the founding investors
in Great Basin Internet Services (GBIS), Northern Nevada's Largest
Independent internet service provider. In 1998, TA divested itself
of GBIS. In 2000, TA divested itself of it's retail stores
to pursue manufacturing of the EternaLight flashlight
and other related and unrelated products developed by Thomas Hoops
and Derone Bryson. In 2007,
the organization formerly known as Technology
Associates, Inc., founded by Thomas Hoops and
Derone Bryson in 1992 ceased to exist.
This site is still a
functioning sales platform for the EternaLight products
manufactured and sold by EternaLights, LLC. However,
the remainder of the site remains as it was in it's finality before
the closing of Technology Associates, Inc.
Today Mr. Bryson is privately employed as a Software Engineer. Mr. Hoops
is privately employed in a manufacturing company as
it's CTO. After working together since 1990, through their various
projects and partnerships, Mr. Hoops and Mr. Bryson are still best friends
and continue to explore new opportunities together.

particle gun?

I got this idea while designing a sci-fi spaceship. It's a gauss gun that shoots particles rather than anything solid.
The basic idea was to replace the magnets in an old-fashioned gauss gun (such as the ones built in physics class in highschool) with magnetized gas (particles). Initially, a wave of particles would be accelerated electrically into a vacuum tube where gas would be simultaneously injected in hundreds of positions. As the wave hits the gas the particles collide and accelerate towards the next gas inlet. Since particles are used instead of magnets, the integrity of the "magnets" would not be a limiting factor.
On the other hand, even heavy particles should be accelerated to HIGH speeds to have an impact.
My physics knowledge is very limited so, if this forum is active anymore, could this weapon actually work?
Logged here, hoping to find information about gauss guns that use coils, porbably gonna try and build one at our summer place ;)
p.s.
In case there are typos, it's because I'm far from a native speaker (finnish) :) | |

Well, an interesting idea although I'm not sure that I can picture what you're saying. Can you elaborate some more?
Thanks. | |
