Knowing the crowd I hang out with, from any kind of distance, this will just be seen as just another Tony Stark chest-reactor design. :/

First, I'm gonna ignore the Ramy reference, second the theory of cold fusion has been around awhile and has been popularized in movies such as IQ or The Saint. It's widely discredited by most researchers today but renewed interest has sparked up in the last few years. It basically proposes the possibility of harnessing the incredible power of nuclear fusion in a containable safe format. Basically stars in jars as I said earlier hence the image. Look it up in places like wikipedia to get more info. It's basically the holy grail of energy science, something that will probably never be acheived but tantalyzing at the same time.

Also, you may have seen the definition right above the one you selected?
11. Printing.
a. black letter.
b. type, as distinguished from illustrations, margins, etc.

Ha, well I didn't realise that, and I'm not so stupid to think you couldn't google that source, but I genuinely didn't see that entry, so I apologise.

You used the EXACT SAME idea. But, contrary to what a large number of this community's members say -- namely that every idea has been done; ergo nothing is original -- you took the idea in a completely different direction. IMO, your shirt is completely safe from rejection and serves as an excellent example of what I said before.

I REALLY like this, but I also don't like the color. I'd never wear it on the yellow. Still voted for it....but won't be buying it.

Re: Gravity v2

great work m.

Re: Cold Fusion

I think I have some of this in my pantry. Gave me some wicked heartburn last time.

Re: Cold Fusion

Very nice, guys! The solar spikes/flares sell the science feel, and it makes a good looking shirt. :^)

Hawking or Professor X?

Re: Nuclear Physics

Thank you so much for the all of the comments and criticisms. I will be extra sure to consider them all in the next derby.

Re: Testing the twin paradox

I LOVE the last panel!

Re: Gravity v2

Now this is an artsy shirt — gorgeous; great and GMV!

Hello! You're welcome

Josephus wrote:It's odd that I'm seeing this in the fog with vote total listed of 167 votes and also 10th place. They only have 2 designs rejected, both obviously deserving rejection and neither ever having seen the fog, so I'm sure this belongs in the fog. Woot has some kind of bug going on.

The swallows and coconut design had two of the same submission in the fog, so woot took the old submission down, that is why you could see the numbers while in the fog.

Re: on my wavelength

Thanks to Ashley for getting me started on this one.

Yours is awesome!

thanks and no prob

Re: Cold Fusion

I bet you could make one heck of a lightsaber with that kind of energy. +1

I hadn't heard of that before, funny!

Re: Schrödinger's Cat

This reminds me of the awesomeness that was Invader Zim.

Re: Nuclear Physics

I'm not sure I'm into the yellow shirt and I'm not really confident it'll beat out some of the others to print, but it's a fantastic and well thought-out concept, so I'll vote for it.

Woaaa! Thats a very unique and interesting idea!

LOL @ THIS


But hey I like your design! I've always wanted an awesome shirt with a falling warhead on it, but never have seen any good ones like this.

bassanimation wrote:It is cold fusion, which is sometimes referred to as a 'star in a jar' or 'sun in a jar'. I made it look more star-like in the end. Here is a short article about the 'star in a jar' concept.

Stars are bright and do glow. As for shine, it is inside a glass jar. Glass reflects light so any light source will reflect and 'shine' off of the glass. ^^; Glow and shine are part of the physical nature of the objects depicted.

I have to agree with the ramyb comment. And I don't think endangeredomega or I misunderstand the idea of the star-in-a-jar idea. Personally, I'm just sick of seeing this shiny style that was done in Seki's Birth of the Moon shirt as well as others which have names less memorable than the shirts themselves.

THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING!

Very awesome take on the radiated cat! :D

Re: Matter and Anti-Matter

I really dig the placement. I hope it's kosher. It should be.. I think. Anyway, +1

FUUUUUUUU---- SHUN---- HAAAH!

Love it

Very creative! :D

Its hard because in these derbies everyone brings their A game ):

Re: The Doppler Effect

that is some fast-paced walking he is doing, or else some seriously thin air ;-p cool design though +1

Pretty good.

Cat looks like its got a lump in its throat though.

I love Jacob's Ladder :D

GOOD JOB, SWEETIE! ^___^

i dont get why people care so much about other shirts, just judge this shirt by its own strengths and weaknesses, not by others. how else would you do a star in a jar without a glow?

I think what people are missing is the amazing rendering of this piece. that jar is amazing! and the beautiful, quite calmness of this design is stunning. +1 from me.

Hah.

Awesome, but I don't really like the bombs falling.

ohhhhh I get it now.

Thanks for the first post to clarify

Nice job!

LOLLLOOLOOL Creeeepy~

Re: Cold Fusion

Looks very sharp guys! It also could interpreted as a super mutant firefly in a jar;) The colors suit the shirt very well and the whole design is very crisp, neat and attractive.

Awesome. Good Luck!

Re: Physics of a Falling Cat (resub)

Hehe this reminds me of physics class actually, because on my physics textbook cover there was a series of photographs of a cat falling just like this on the cover, except more steps. I remember doodling it from the book a few times in my notes when I was bored. Ah memories!

Hah awesome.

Very nice, nice job re-doing it.

lol and in my opinion the design works. What I do think is if you what to solve this issue resub without the face.......but still +1
