My new optics ideas and one from Bill Kelly, a man who passed
Hello all:
Bill Kelly, a man from Arizona, an astronomer, a man who was into
oceanography, and had been in WWII passed away going on a year ago
from this February.
And as he did he had a new inventive idea he called the "Flex" mirror system.
He had a new idea, in ATM'ing, of making the primary only spherical and then
epoxying a bolt on the back, flexing it, putting it into a parabolic shape
from there.
He even may have successfully made or at least talked about this over
the phone of making a scope that could be flexed through different
focal lengths. This could be used for a scope, a monocular, and a
microscope. Or bino-telescope, binoculars, and stereoscopic microscope.
It sounded cool to me.
I'm just wondering about how marketable something like this could be?
