  1. Re:Peltiers on Utah Teens Invent Better Air Conditioner · · Score: 1

    for a reverse cycle aircon in heat mode, this is true. most cars use the engine coolant pumped through a heater box for heating. aircon is cool only.

  2. Re:Titanium is a pain to weld or melt in the house on Kazakhstan's Spaceship Junkyard · · Score: 1

    I don't see what your point is. Steel is a "pain to weld or melt in the house" unless you know what you're doing. It's scrap metal. They sell it to scrap dealers.

    Oh, and Titanium can be TIG welded. It's only a pain if you don't know what you're doing. Kind of like all welding really.

    sounds like governments everywhere. they're always annoucing that they're going to half the deficit or cure cancer or some shit. a few years down the track when it hasn't happened, they make excuses, announce some other scheme and get on with the business of making themselves and thier buddies rich.
