Power, Water and Refrigeration in One Box
Roland Piquepaille writes "Engineers at the University of Florida have developed and built a system that can provide power, water and refrigeration from a single unit. This project, funded by the U.S. Army, will lead to units small enough to fit inside a military jet or a large truck. The prototype system is already more efficient than conventional turbines. And it is also environmentally friendly because it can use traditional fossil fuels as well as biomass-produced fuels or hydrogen and releases only small amounts of pollutants. This kind of system could be used as a mobile unit in case of hurricanes or wars. But it might also be connected to the normal power grid in fixed locations."
If only some of that DoD money could be spent on something other than killing innocents... oh, wait.
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
Oh, blah blah blah... there has been plenty of damn good beer brewed in America for more than 20 years, and this joke has been tired for nearly as long.
