Giant Insect Invades Germany

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the our-thrip-overlords dept.

Noryungi writes, "It seems the alien invasion of the Earth has just started! A 50-meter insect has been spotted roaming the German countryside! Let the 'I, for one, welcome our new giant insectoid overlords' joke contest begin!" A moderator at a Keyhole forum IDs the bug as a thrip, about 1mm long, squished under a glass plate during scanning.

    lets see, chemical to kinetic, hmmm.. battery efficiency: maybe 90% on each of charge and discharge, lets say 80% overall. electric motor efficiency, good ones are >90%. total efficiency: >70%. thousands of times more than this: 70,000% efficiency..... LISA! in this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!
