One m^2 of direct sunlight provides ~1000 watts, but due to the way things are, even the best solar panels can't get you more than, say 300 watts from that original 1000. Limits due to Carnot cycle apply.
Well, for one thing, I've seen the International Space Station (ISS) at least 20 times and also the Hubble Space Telescope an equal number of times. The majority of satellites travel from West to East. Some travel North to South or South to North in equal measure.
I use software that predicts their sightings. The software even accurately predicts when the satellite will turn dark due to the sun setting on it.
1. So if the earth is flat why do we not observe the ISS traveling East to West just as frequently as we observe it traveling West to East?
2. When it's dark, but still just after sunset, why can I sometimes observe a satellite turn dark in the Eastern half of the sky? What would explain that if the explanation is not "because the Earth is spherical"?
That's right because P = VT doesn't work when T = 0. That's especially true if your unit is in Celsius. It will work at a lower temperature if it's in Fahrenheit though...
The hyperloop is the next new national travel phenomenon. Here's why:
1. Hyperloop uses electricty and can work fine without fossil fuels.
2. Because hyperloop cars can be made an arbitrary size, security demands are much less of an issue for a vehicle carrying, say, 10 people.
3. Because the cars travel in a tube as the technology advances they can travel at artbitrary speeds like 2k, 3k, 4k? M.P.H. With no noise impact.
So what if it costs 6 billion per route? The cars will probably be way cheaper to make than airplanes.
That's right. Since when is being able to generate many Gigawatt hours of electricity without using a drop of fuel "merely marketing"? It's that kind of "marketing" you can take directly to the bank.
This technology is not suitable for the majority of the U.S. because it relies on concentrated solar, i.e. mirrors and if the sun is behind the clouds, then this technology isn't working for you.
Maybe they WERE smuggling cigarettes into Russia, realized, OMFG! they were losing money like mad and NOW are smuggling cigarettes from Russia to Lithuania.

It is referred to as energy density. 20-30% improvement IIRC.

Are they better than the merely foremost codec experts?
Thanks, I'll keep that on my R.A.D.A.R.
Well yeah, but it will probably make your arm radioactive. Plasma Acceleration

Nah...check dust on lens.

Yeah, a printed turbine could run in a de-rated or less efficient engine, but the turbine wheel is THE most critical part of a good engine.

+1 Pretty much what I would have said.

Yeah, as long as Lake Mead has water, which should be at least a few more years, give or take.
Yeah, you need that steel tooth and that flint implant on the tip of your tongue plus a little practice.
Yeah! An' an' a free three year stay in th' crowbar ho-tel!
Yes fusion is the energy of tomorrow. And the best fusion reactor we have is called the sun. And we can begin harnessing it whenever we want.
All it takes to restore net neutrality is enough people to boycott those businesses that seek to compromise it.

Except that most hydrogen comes from reforming of natural gas which isn't nearly as bad a coal. (still results in CO2) But otherwise you are correct.
