I don't think the spray seals it like a cannister, but it's more like a silicone covering that goes over all the circuits, boards, etc. So water should leak in, behind the speaker, etc.
So it's about one fan per GPU? Seems annoying and inefficient. Why not build it more spread apart, or use a "Central Air" system like people use in their homes.
Not using water cooling I understand, 'cause there'd be around 30 tubes snaking in and out of the box - something would fail/leak.
THe gov just won't have money to spend on thousands of centrifuges, etc. Just look at Africa - not many nuclear programs there. Why - too damned poor.
Besides - without any special interest for the USA to protect in the mid east (oil access), more than likely we will pull out. That's probably one of the main reasons why we are disliked over there - a heavy troop presence.
That we wouldn't be paying out around 700 Billion dollars a year overseas. That in itself would help to lessen nuclear threats from some countries like Iran, since - Hey - no money, we can't afford it.
Thanks for the typo correction - it's actually a square 92 x 92 miles or around 8,400 square miles.
Big, but doable. Estimated cost is around 400 billion dollars - we've probably spent that much in Iraq already. Take away the income from their oil, and that will do a better job of reducing the middle easts power.
The whole desert floor doesn't have to be covered, so there can be space available between the collectors.
Besides, the CO2 reduction, pollution savings would offset what little impact a 100 square mile patch would have. That's right, using roughly a 100 square mile of desert could supply Americas ENTIRE power requirements. Not too shabby, but a very, very large undertaking. Solar panels have been making some huge strides in efficiencies lately. The nasty compounds used in them are eventually "paid for" by other environmental improvements.
Bypass surgery is significant portion of all heart operations. This is typically done when atherosclerosis (fatty calcific deposits) block the vessels, reduce the blood supply to the hearts muscle, and people wind up with chest pain, and sometimes a heart attack.
Hearts are operated on for many other reasons as well, which are not just for needing new vessels. Hearts get leaky valves, become too thick, transplants etc.
I am so looking forward to my first trip to Australia. What do you have there that is also very interesting? Can I see hovering rocks, or swimming earth fish? Anyway - just a quick question. Do the trees have cute little feet, or big long legs? I'm having trouble picturing this.
DeBakeys are a long (8 inch) pair of pick-ups or "tweezers" that have been around for a long time. There are at least 3-4 DeBakey clamps that I can think of.
I just used a set of DeBakey pick-ups yesterday, and more importantly my Grandma survived her quadruple heart bypass. Thanks Dr.DeBakey for all your contributions. God rest your soul, as you've earned it, and some nice R&R.
I wonder just how much "bio-waste" is available anyway, to supply this venture. Would the specific ingredients they require ever amount to enough so as to provide a significant percentage of a states fuel needs.
The engine temperature observation from the story may just imply that the vetroleum has a very low flash point, or combustion temperature. My friends and I used to set our hands on fire with alcohol from alcohol burners, The alcohol burns at a fairly low temperature, and thus doesn't heat your hand much.
Lower temperature burns would probably generate less side products, producing a cleaner smoke. That's nothing surprising nor revolutionary. It's actually a bad thing too, since the amount of power produced is also less (less heat -> less thermal expansion = less power)
More than likely, it is just a shock type of attention getting mail. However, what if it is state sponsored spam by another country. Obviously, there are countries out there that would like the US&As reputation damaged, and this may help do that. There are countries with states sponsored hackers, trying to hack US government/Pentagon computers, so why wouldn't they also attempt psychological damage as well?
If you here rumors, over and over again about someones behavior, then you might start to think that the person (or country) might behave that way, and maybe think less of them.
Or maybe T. Boone Pickens is a big fan of tornadoes, and doesn't like all the bad press they get. Now with wind power being a good thing, people will look forward to a tornado, since it might really give the city a nice little boost of energy. This way Mr. Pickens gets to refurbish theimage of tornadoes, like how John Travolta became cool again after Pulp Fiction.
I want my Porsche to be quiet - Why? so I can go faster and not attract attention from cars that are painted black and white. Ricers put fart pipes on their cars, so they "sound" fast. Stupid. The performance gains are minimal (Improved high end HP, at the expense of losing low end torque, and burned valves).
Sure, it's nice to hear a Porsche CGT or GT3 with straight pipes, but only because I know that that sound is ASSOCIATED with going fast. Just having the sound is stupid, and serves no point.
I commuted via bike when I worked in a genetics research lab at the N.I.H. in Washington, D.C., so it didn't matter too much if I was a little sweaty with all the scientist geeks. Now I am a surgeon, and my appearance really matters quite a bit (do you really want a guy operating on you, if it looks like he doesn't care to iron his shirt? - Maybe he won't care if the bits aren't quite aligned properly.) Corporate business world is much, much more "stiff" in terms of what is allowed. One of my friends who worked for a major accounting firm was not allowed to be seen eating at fast food joints. Why? - because the clients might think he couldn't afford better food because he wasn't very good. - Stupid - yes, but that's how it is.
10-20 blocks I could manage in a suit, but 15 miles - not a chance - I'd look like crap, and would have to shower. Stats also show that bike riding in non-daylight hours is too dangerous, and therefore I won't do it.
Geek/science/engineering/lower ranking jobs can do this. If people are in non-technical fields or if they become more successful, then appearances tend to matter more, and certain behaviors can't be tolerated. In an ideal world, where everyone is recognized solely on intellectual merit this would work, but it's not an ideal world.
Chances are they'll like it too. I was 13 when I read LOTR, and Dune. When I was 11-12 I "discovered" Asimov, Heinlein, Niven, Bradburyand other grandmasters, as well as the Star Trek novels. Those guys are famous for a reason.
Might want to try some collections of short stories, and see what they like. You might already have it in your collection. My library, at the time, had YA stickers on books (young adult), and I remember cruising around the library, looking for those stickers for a few years.
I also used to read the first page in a book, and some other random page just to see if I liked it, or the style. Try that with them.
We still want to know - the orangy-pink paper seems so festive. Maybe the clamping weight is made of ground up Stradivarius violins, or the preserved hearts of virgin sacrificial cloned lambs, or.....unreleased copies of Duke Nukem Forever!

Guns can be out and drawn, but you, as the "Punk" won't know what setting it's on, and that might make you calm down a bit.

great - I'd love to be continually bathed in really high powered microwaves. That energy transmission must be horribly inefficient.

Didn't you see Waterworld? Pirates become more powerful.
I have seen my system think that I was off the road when driving at high altitude.
Your car can FLY?
He's probably from Australia. They have to do this since the trees can go 20 MPH.
I am so looking forward to my first trip to Australia. What do you have there that is also very interesting? Can I see hovering rocks, or swimming earth fish?
Anyway - just a quick question. Do the trees have cute little feet, or big long legs? I'm having trouble picturing this.
thanks - see you soon.

go search for my other post, as I'm tired of writing the same thing. It's very realistic, but produces poor power.
see my prev message. If a fuel has a low combustion point, then it doesn't generate much heat. It also, unfortunately, generates less power too.
So the truck engine that runs w/o getting hot is realistic. Of course it might not be able to pull anything either.
I wonder just how much "bio-waste" is available anyway, to supply this venture. Would the specific ingredients they require ever amount to enough so as to provide a significant percentage of a states fuel needs.

I'm sure he did no planning at all, just came up with this idea, and then started spending advertising money on T.V. for it.
Or maybe it will work.
