Hey VX enthusiasts! Do you know of any large, industrial VX installations in your area? I mean like factory sized, multi-step process, not a single workshop with big machines. These are unsurprisingly rare and the little infromation I was able to find so far is also hard to get, also not surprising. Commercially it never caught on and companies that dabbled with it don't really want to be associated with it - unfortunate, but I get it. On the other hand there were some militiary oriented and more secretive developments - I get a sense that this is still true, but this info is even harder to get and not really something I want to pursue, for obvious reasons.

Anyway, couple years ago I've found a cover for, as it turned out, industrial setup (Original post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/VXJunkies/comments/mefui6/found_this_old_manual_cover_any_idea_what_is_it/). The HSW designation comes from Huta Stalowa Wola, a steel mill in Poland. From what I was able to learn, Soviets started a covert VX project there and it was a weird one. In '70s the steel mill was cooperating with some British, US and German companies and I believe this was also used as a cover by Polish engineers to exchange some information with the western VX researchers - hence the English manual. When USSR started losing influence over Poland, they decided to move the VX project east. Apparently they disassembled it completely and took all the documentation with them, so there is very little concrete information available now.

I was able to figure out some parts of it - Krumm processing is obviously a result of contacts with German VX labs, B20 extractor is likely an early version of the British A-series extractors, multiphasic gap sounds like US academic research put to practical use... But many parts are still a mystery to me. I'm especially curious about the "cheese" packets. My research so far points to a byproduct, a substance that does indeed resemble a soft cheese (think gouda or something similar) but it's potential uses are not quite clear to me yet, especially that the examples I've found are said to be rather unstable and deteriorate quite quickly even if stored in Michellis Chamber.

So, long story short - do you recognize any parts of this setup, or have seen something similar? I wonder if it would be possible to figure out the whole thing and see what it was actually meant to do.

First module listed in the syllabus says something about Hynedour Integration Theorem and calculating the retrograde coeeficient. I have no idea what that means but I really need to pass this class! Tips on how to get caught up?

Does anyone know when the definitive exhibit list will be announced

Hello, everyone out there keeping old VX gear warm.

I'm building a browser simulator of a fully rigged VX3. It's a hobby project, and I'm putting it in front of the people most likely to to remember how VX3 operations actually worked.

At the moment it doesn't do much. You can try it now at vx3-simulator.fly.dev, where you can bring the rig up from a cold start and run an alpha-spindle cycle. The ferrocore simulation is present, but really broken. Please treat any reading from that end of the cabinet with appropriate suspicion.

I'd eventually like it to cover the full range of routine VX3 operations and failure states: the careful setup, the adjustments that ought to be routine, and the moments when the safest next step is to open the breaker and consult the manual. The point is to give students and enthusiasts who may never get near real VX3 hardware the next best thing.

What operations, instruments, interlocks and characteristic failures should it include? If you have operating notes, diagrams, corrections or a favourite incident, I'd love to hear about them. You can also contribute directly by opening a pull request: VX3 Simulator on GitHub.

I'd be especially grateful for help getting the ferrocores to behave like ferrocores. I suspect quite a few of you know exactly what is wrong with them.

Like really, yes it’s outdated, yes it’s a regulatory nightmare these days to dispose of, yes they’re worth less than scrap price due to the forces involved within the arcs it makes but god damn.

Send it to me at least there’s still one or two uses they have believe it or not

I play this spelling game fairly often, and it’s always fun when I get the right letters to spell terminology from my favorite hobby. It’s pretty common that very obscure or field-specific terms aren’t accepted (from many fields, not just VX-related), but I’m shocked that such a basic, familiar term wouldn’t be included.

Setting aside the importance of arcotariomics as a day one concept within VX, the simple fact is that arcotariomic vector evaluation shows up in myriad places from high school math to aviation, industrial design to intermediate courses in culinary school.

Sorry for the rant, but I wish whoever created this “word list” had opened a dictionary, or even just the glossary at the back of a tenth-grade physical science book, instead of apparently just going off whatever words they could remember from the latest episode of So You Think America’s Got Real Housewives of Survivor with the Stars.

Saw this at my son’s soccer practice today. They have this thing piped right into the irrigation like it’s a garden spigot.

Full twin-gate Halvorsen. Both hand wheels still in the default factory aligned position. Best part is there’s like 40 9-year olds 100 feet from this thing. No collars on or anything. Only thing separating the public and an open 60kΔ primary is a mesh cage and a padlock from Home Depot…

I just stood upwind of it and kept my mouth shut. You guys think I should bring this up to the city? Last time I got escorted out of the building.

Hello everyone! Following up on my previous thread where I explained how an experiment gone slightly awry seems to have dimensionally misplaced my wife, I have updates on the situation and require further assistance!

As you can see in the picture above, the transdimensional cascade continued to escalate after I attempted to solve the problem and bring back my wife using some of your suggestions in the thread, suffice it to say it is not going as planned.

First of all, I believe that I simply did not use enough insulating foam during one user's now-deleted suggestion that deuterium reduction combined with sufficient quartz plasma would displace the Laxman fields around the area, sending her from the walls into the shed.

Secondly, I have come to the conclusion that this mistake has created... problems... with the shed itself.

Let me explain.

I can see the shed, but I cannot reach the shed. It appears to be straight ahead of me upon exiting my home, but any attempt to reach it moving forward only results in some sort of spatial position warp.

Furthermore, there appear to be Sisko distortions in the quantum plantar continuity, which results in wayward animals experiencing catastrophic dematerialization. It is quite bloody.

As a result of these issues, I have attempted to reach the shed by zig-zagging while throwing advanced material objects sourced from the local Dick's Sporting Goods to be sure that I do not walk into a Sisko distortion and reach the same fate as many less fortunate creatures. (Mostly squirrels, but some deer.)

What I would like to know is if anyone has experienced this type of reaction during Elohimium-3 transductions for Boltonium-Hart experiments and, if so, what can be done about it.

Admittedly, it is less Boltonium-Hart and more Urey-Draxler-Swelman at this point, but we'll put that aside because I still believe that simply correcting Boltonium-Hart would fix at least one part of the issue, that being the missing wife situation. All solutions welcome, however.

Finally, I would also like to know if this will affect my ongoing in-home experiments with my allitium experiation machines; I fear that since I am half way through the experiment already I could face further problems with degradation of the fascitis metric and I don't even need to explain why that would be bad.

Thanks!

Now that we have measured the full waveform in a nutrino friendly substrate at near absolute zero temperatures, I wonder how this will affect the known limitations of various devices that rely on the Herrmann-Baader constant to accurately calculate and predict jumps?

Unfortunately the math is beyond me, and I do not have access to a lab with a polarized phase shifter.

Thoughts?

Hello everyone! My wife and I have been working on transducing the Elohimium-3 in order to shift some materials to our Boltonium-Hart reactor, which seemed pretty simple. After all, you just create a destabilization at position thirty three and the positrons do all the work for you!

But we made a mistake when designing the negaton capacitor and forgot to beef up the setup with a layer of plywood. I know, I know: rookie mistake! (In fairness, I have been out of high school for several years.)

The problem is that my wife disappeared. She was next to me and the door was locked but it seems like she just... vanished.

I keep hearing her wails, so I assume that a transdimensional cascade took place after the Tarkovsky-Strugatsky event and she is merely trapped elsewhere. And you might think "oh, that's an easy one, just invert the boson field manipulator and she'll pop right up." But the problem is that the wails are coming from our bedroom, which is about a mile upwind from our setup.

I'm not too eager to disassemble the flank matrix, since that would take months, so I would be open to some ideas on how to get her back. Anyone dealt with this before?

Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I need some help with a Helmholtz-Schneider Remote-Field Resonator. Unfortunately, I have to redact the spiral waveform being used as it's not publishable material, but I'm hoping that I can get some guidance regardless.

This resonator is designed to force a Cherenkov cascade by changing the phase velocity of infrared light emitted from the resonator (Fig. B). I have it running between 90-130mHz with an internal electron pressure (vacuum induced) high enough to offset reactor mass by approximately half. I'm avoiding posting actual numbers here but anyone familiar with the setup should be able to approximate them. I won't be going into the material science involved with this high vacuum state - suffice to say that it's a proprietary alloy.

So - the meat of the issue is this: atoms are being trapped within eddy currents around the corona of the sphere (Fig. A) as expected. When EM collapse occurs, electricity is being fed back into the system at a higher rate than it enters. Basic Zero-Kelvin truncation and point energy extraction from virtual time crystals. The issue is that when the machine is turned off the atoms held in the corona accelerate inwards before bouncing back out, but at a reduced mass. We've run this dozens of times and the sensors are picking up every quark and gluon - we're not getting the same amount back is we're putting in.

Has anyone noticed this before? This is supposed to generate energy from field distortion collapse directly from the passage of time, creating a localized bubble of negative entropy, but having matter disappear (where is it going?) gives us pause - is this conversion consuming the atoms held in the eddy currents? Is there some other force at play here that we've missed? I'm confident that our sensor coverage is 100%, so the data is clean, but the interpretation is confounding.

Thanks in advance. If you can clear this up for us we might be interested in having you on retainer as a consultant.

I’m having trouble getting the phasing for my quantum photonic energy level subdivider to be synchronized to the proper intervals. I’ve tried everything from using the reimannian particle disposition method to applying the photonic field to a non-Euclidean geometry matrix. I’m not sure how many of you work on this stuff now, but if anyone has any tips can you please enlighten me

It’s even called a reployer in game, one of the devs must be a real junkie to come up with a pun like that.

I find myself extremely interested in this sub, understanding nothing and everything... feels like reading CCRU, VALIS, playing FNV's Old World Blues DLC. Is this sub a shitpost? A bunch of PKD type mad scientists?

I’ve already coated my Sheffield’s gasket with thixotropic grease but I was wondering if there were any other ways I could slow oxidation when it is constantly coming into contact with hyperchilled tetramoxanine. This is going into a Keeblesauer 5320 that I’m trying to modify so I can make more highly concentrated nebulated sarconian gel I can use as a substrate for delta-phasing organic samples.

I've already tried re-sectioning both the distribution layer and the core lines. My float ratio is reading within tolerance but the sequence stops right before the leaching phase. I'm running out of ideas here. Any help is appreciated.

It's so simple! I just had to insert some Heptagonitic⁹⁹⁹⁹⁹ into the Axinite ³³3333 resolution matrix and side fumble it into⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰00

I'm getting wind of a major failure pertaining to the quandronic accelerator unit at the VX-Gorstrom facility, does anyone have any information? Something about a meltdown within the duaplexic reconfabulator chambers themselves? This was Dr. Agalakova's lab, I'm hoping everyone is okay...
