Planet TV is an independent Internet media broadcast station which has been publishing unique and creative content since 2005. Available exclusively online, Planet TV is seen in 124 countries worldwide and is one of the most popular non-commercial videocasts on the web. Our shows have been downloaded millions of times each year since we began (sometimes millions of times each month), and many of the most popular episodes have been downloaded over a million times each. The current show lineup includes the Planet TV Show (an irreverent and humorous videocast which looks at current and cutting-edge science and technology), Lucian Solutions (Lucian answers BIG questions posed by listeners in an audio podcast), and The Ancients of Eden (a sci-fi novel written by Lucian about the Mayan Calendar, ancient lost civilizations and quantum computers which is being read as an audio book by Lucian).

[tab:The Problem] How do we provide broadband coverage for ALL of the rural U.S. population? [tab:The Solution] Planet TV has the only realistic and affordable solution to provide EVERY rural resident in the country with wireless broadband. This plan is faster, cheaper and has a lower carbon footprint than any other cable, fiber or wireless idea. It is based on a civilian version of an AWACS plane and the old Stratovision concept from the late 1940's.

[tab:Lucian Solutions 04] Lucian Solutions Number 04 [tab:Player] Listen or download this episode using the player above. [tab:The Question] By Baxter - If dropped into Earthrsquo;s atmosphere, would a kernel of popcorn, pop, before being incinerated by re-entry? [tab:The Answer] It would not be able to pop because the water would evaporate and crack the shell. The vacuum of space would cause the water inside the kernel to begin to evaporate and off-gas. The gaseous water will cool and expand the inside surface of the shell (the weakest strength side of the shell) causing irregular internal pressure which will crack the shell. This would remove both of the necessary elements for popping a kernel of corn. Both are likely to happen, but if either the water escapes or the shell cracks, then the kernel cannot pop. Therefore, since at least one of these would occur over the time from tossing the kernel overboard to its eventual re-entry, it would incinerate and never pop. [tab:Decision Tree] Decision tree for popcorn in space Immediately upon tossing into space 1 - Shell cracks from internal off-gassing pressure 2 - Shell remains intact A - Internal moisture slowly freezes and cracks shell B - Internal moisture slowly freezes but shell remains intact nbsp;nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;This will cause some kernels never to pop. i - Kernel will not pop due to being frozen ii - Frozen kernel still viable a - Aerodynamically stable free-fall of frozen intact kernel 1 - Heat applied quickly to one side of shell This will cause the frozen moisture to act as an insulator which will result in thenbsp;shellnbsp;heatingnbsp;unevenly. Vapor pressure from the melting moisture under the front of the shell combined with temperature differentials between the front and the back of the kernel (which is still frozen) will crack the shell. 2 - Heat applied slowly to one side of shell, This will cause more moisture to begin to melt. The reduced exterior pressure and the temperature difference between the front and the back of the shell will cause irregular internal pressure and the shell will crack. (This is why you must cook them in oil - to spread the heat over the outside of the kernel and prevent scorching on one side.) b - Aerodynamically unstable free-fall of frozen intact kernel 1 - Heat applied quickly to all sides of shell This will cause the shell to heat before the inside moisture can melt. The temperature over time differential for the heating of the shell and the warming of the moisture inside the kernel do not match. In order to pop, the shell must be heated (but remain intact) until the inside moisture reaches the vapor pressure and temperature to explode. On the planet, the atmospheric pressure will assist in holding the shell together until the moisture pressure is heated past boiling. The reduced pressure would allow the slowly melting moisture to go straight to vapor, however. As soon as it surpassed the internal pressure capacity of the kernel it would burst the shell. It would do this before the interior had reached the temperature necessary to do this on earth, because the pressure is lower. Therefore the kernel would not pop. 2 - Heat applied slowly to all sides of shell This will cause more of the internal moisture to begin to heat. The reduced pressure will cause the moisture to evaporate at a lower temperature. The internal pressure will reach the bursting fatigue point before the internal temperature reaches the same point necessary to cause popping on the planet. This means the bursting fatigue point / internal temperature profiles will not be the same for a kernel in space and a kernel on the planet surface. This profile is unique to each kernel but has a range within which the kernel will pop. Only this profile range will allow for popping. a - The internal temperature / bursting pressure profile does not match the parameters needed for popping to occur b - The inte...
