All I ever catch on my LW radio is power grid hum, no stations. Shortwave does pick up some Jesus freaks though that are nice to listen to, or some Hispanic stations like Florida or Cuba halfway across the continent, which of course I don't understand, but I catch the gist of it, when they talk about Putin or Syria or Gaza, I know what they talk about, just don't know what exactly they are saying about it. I do miss the days of BBC world news. They stopped service to the Americas on SW. SW and BBC used to be synonyms even 10 years ago.
Also my SW radio is an LCD digital one, and sometimes I wonder if it's not hacked and it's really some bogus transmission getting fed through it, pretending to be shortwave. You cannot trust chips. A SW radio based on vacuum tubes is a lot more trustable that it's actually picking up the airwaves as directed, and then the issue comes down to actual bogus programming on those frequencies by nearby stations - they can even fake ionosphere reflection noises and fading, broadcast from nextdoor to you.
As Rene Descartes said, I think there I am, but beyond that, every fact in my mind is on shaky ground, and it takes the power of faith to believe a scientific experimental measurement as true, but I believe those a lot more than what someone picks out of thin air, without scientifically possible repetition and verification of measurements
Drugs like this are what meddle in the affairs of intelligent parasites trying to shape and control populations. It's like lions and tigers keep their prey genetically healthy by picking off the bad ones, but you got a drug that keeps them away, and none fall to prey to anything.
If you fill the lake and let it evaporate, you lose the water.
However, your idea, with a different spin on it, is a great one! Using highly hygroscopic salts, whose relative humidity beats the surrounding air's. Calcium chloride is a standard desiccant, but it's not strong enough for some applications. Same with dehydrated, white or colorless copper sulfate that turns blue from absorption of moisture from air, so you know how you're doing just by looking at it. Sulfuric acid is another substance, but it might have too high a vapor pressure and slowly evaporate too, unlike the previous substances mentioned. Of course almost nothing beats phosphorus pentoxide, however it's that much more complicated recuperating the water from the phosphoric acid that forms and regenerating the pentoxide, you pretty much have to wreck it to raw phosphorous, hydrogen and oxygen, and recombine from there, a very energy intensive process. All the previous ones - calcium chloride, copper sulfate, sulfuric acid, etc. all they need is a heating to boil off the water to regenerate the fresh amorphous substance. If there were some very high boiling but very hygroscopic organic solvent that captures water first, and then from solvent these crystals capture the moisture, there might be a faster reaction rate. Also such a solvent by itself could be used as a water capture at room temperature, then heated by solar heat to distill off the water, in a more efficient way than solid salts, because with liquids it's easy to pump around a process, and also to form spray droplets with huge contact surface area and fast reaction rate, or used in simple cooling-water-tower-like setups. In fact if there is a industrial process that requires a cooling water tower, except the process has to be run in a desert and there is no water for cooling available, but you could use a low volatility/high boiling point liquid, you could let it absorb water, go through the industrial process to pick up heat, then solar heat it real hot to give off the water, then add some extra stages in the water cooling tower setup to cool from the higher temperature. The problem is that a water cooling tower uses cooling from evaporation of makeup water added to the stream, from the droplets in the cooling tower, and lacking water or similar things to evaporate-waste, you're limited to mere conduction/convection type heat exchange. But you don't really have too many options in a desert for a cooling tower if you lack water, but a high boiling liquid, and if you can make that liquid hygroscopic to just the correct amount (expected humidity, because if it binds water too strongly (say it extracts moisture from 2% relative humidity to 1%) it has to be heated to very high temp before it gives it back up, compared to something that can extract water from 20% RH down to 10%, which may need just mild heating. So you might fine tune your solvent to the expected average and minimum RH's that prevail in your target area. They could double it up, because heating a large amount of solvent for very little water is costly, so you could use a solvent that takes RH from 20% avg available to 10% where the solvent gives up trying, and then you can rip the water from the solvent with a salt bed that takes it from 10% to say 8%, and concentrates up the moisture into a smaller bulk, that's cheaper to heat the extra inert stuff present, then heating a whole lot of dilute solvent to recoup the water from it.
Also in a desert you do have a magical source of energy: the sun and the wind. What you don't have in the desert is hydrogen (or hydrogen oxide(i.e. water)), except whatever is present through relative humidity in the atmosphere.
Desalination is great if you got a pond of saltwater ready right next your property, but unfortunately for most people it would require shipping, or infrastructure, or commercial utilities getting into it. Even if commercial utilities can get it done at a low price, they have no reason not to make a profit and rape everyone in the ass with whatever the price the market is willing to bear. The only downward force on the price is your ability to say no to their price, and either live without water or get your water some other way. The get your water some other way is the only option, which in a desert pretty much sucks, unlike, say northeast USA, when you simply dig a hole in the ground, and voila, you just hit the groundwater table. Or just put up rain collector systems. They don't get enough rain in the desert. If push comes to shove and you absolutely need to get water lest you die of thirst, the atmophere is never 0% water. Relative humidity seldom drops under 30%, even rarely under 15%. So even at 1% relative humidity, there is water in the air surrounding you, not much but at least a drop, in a desert. At this humidity it will not form a cloud and start a rain, but it's still possible to extract, as long as you are economical about your temperature recouperation. Basically, you need a device similar to liquid air manufacturing, except instead of liquid air you make liquid water, by cooling massive quantities of air. So the plumbing and heat exchange surfaces have to be greater by orders of magnitude (maybe 100,000 times?) than a liquid air machine, but as long as you got sunshine power through solar cells, or wind power through windmills, and you can't sell the electric for money, that you could use to buy water, so it goes to waste anyway, and you're dying of thirst, then the answer is a huge long path of cooling the intake air, adding some extra cold, collecting the drew drops from the extra cold machine surface, and recuperating the cold in such air by countercurrent contacting via a very thin wall aluminum or copper or even iron (I'm lazy to look up the strength to thermal conductivity ratio right now, steel might win) with the next fresh load of incoming air. In a spiral setup you might get a long contacting length with very little area, like on top of a table, and your final cooling device might be a conventional air conditioner or refrigerator or freezer, plus you need a fan or pump to drive the air through your conduits. As far as robust refrigerators are concerned, I'd like to recommend the no-moving parts Einstein-Szilard refrigerator, all you gotta do is give it heat, like a focused sunlight on one side, and it gives you cold, on the other side. RV suppliers have some similar coolers that work from a propane flame heat, but in the desert you get lots of free sunshine heat, with a light concentrator, that you can beam onto a pitch black surface, and that still glows and wastes a lot of the light, so some kind of honey-bee like holes or cavities on the surface (picture a golf ball surface, now imagine the holes much denser, and each like 1/2 inch deep). that "suck in the light" and bounce it around internally for a few reflections, might be worth it.
A great replacement for water is DM (dihydrogen-monoxide). Unfortunately it costs a little bit more than water, but it's more efficient so it's worth the extra cost.

No, on the cloud you use encryption technology, cheaply available, from off the shelf, where they have no idea what data you are storing. Respecting the customer's privacy is paramount for business!
Also, just in case it's not clear, the necessity for multiple stages of different working fluids - which might seem like an overly complex mess guaranteed to fail - well the necessity for it is that you cannot use ultahighpressure steam boilers going all the way to 1500C, you might be able to push it to 500C (when atmospheric pressure boiling point of water is 100C), but the pressure you're dealing with are so humongous, that there are not structural materials able to hold your boiler together. Switching to another top working fluid, such as potassium is discussed in the literature, allows working at the high temperature with that working fluid under moderate pressure, able to use existing structural boiler materials. Then using the bottoming heat, the heat given off when, say the potassium-steam goes from vapor to liquid, at 1 atmosphere on the potassium side, at the boiling point of potassium (which can be lowered much below the atmospheric 774C if using a vacuum condenser, like a lot of 1960's steam locomotives started using), so suppose you're not running at one atmosphere on the potassium side, but 0.01 atmosphere, and the boiling temperature might be 500C, so on the other side of the heat exchanger you're able to raise steam at say 2000 psi pressure and 500C (i'm too lazy to look up the actual number right now, the principle is what matters), a nice high pressure that you can expand efficiently compared if you only raised steam at 200psi and 150C(whatever the number is), where the Carnot cycle efficiency is very low. Also in absence of the topping cycle, raising steam at 500C to begin with, and not using potassium vapor at say 2000 psi at 1100C, expanding to vaccuum of 0.01psi at 500C, you are discarding a lot of usable energy, sort of like you have a dam, of 100 yards height, and you let the water freely drop, as a waterfall to 25 yards, where you collect it, then you run a turbine on 25yards head pressure, as opposed to the full 100 yards pressure you could have in the first place. Sadi Carnot derived his efficiency of heat engines principles discussing how the heat fluid, that permeates the material, called caloric, falls from heights of high temperature to lower temperature, even if this day we abandoned the concept of caloric because it can be freely generated in a calorimeter by simple stirring about a spindle with flaps on it, friction generates heat from mechanical motion, therefore heat IS mechanical motion at the molecular level, in a different state of entropy, and not a conserved fluid or principle, as the existence of caloric would make you believe.
So everything I said here may in the end not be justified, compared to the status quo, when nuclear fuel is so cheap, that wasting 99% of it in a LWR and dealing with the relatively small amount of waste (compared to, say CO2 emissions from coal power plants or cars) is the best economy. I just wrote all this stuff up to keep people informed, especially the researchers, as there is constant push in this field, such as the Russian lead-bismuth accidents, so just because the major power companies like simple to deal with LWR's, it does not mean that's the ultimate end of story, and in theory, higher efficiency is achievable through better technology, but you have to carefully watch the added complexity cost that brings all kinds of failure and safety issues with it. But as there are present places use liquid sodium, knowing the practicality of dealing with chemicals, I cannot anything but wholeheartedly recommend gallium, which is so mild, if cooled to human body temperature, it looks like liquid mercury, and you can almost sweep it around with your bare palms. But it's not fully researched, and the gotchas, if there are any, you'd only find out along the way of trying.
If there were a way to coat ruthenium or niobium in magnesium oxide and fluoride, that would be immune to zn attack for reduction, or gallium attack for metal-alloy dissolution. Calcium alloying might be better, as calcium boils off only at 1484, and if there is some minimal controlled amount of oxygen present in the reactor phase, even as gallium oxide, it may continuously form a surface coating of calcium oxide on attacking a calcium/niobium alloy plus metallic gallium. However at such high temperatures the diffusion coefficients are so high, that you cannot say calcium-niobium alloy, because the calcium simply goes everywhere all at once, inside the gallium metal and the structural material, and there is no surface coating formed, which requires a diffusion limited process, and a meeting point, controlled reaction zone, at the surface. Barium and strontium are even worse on temperature than calcium, and this trio forms the top most-oxygen hogging elements in the world. However you don't have to go all that extreme, and something with a lower diffusion coefficient but better oxygen affinity than zinc vapor, such as zirconium oxide, or even niobium oxide and molybdenum oxide on the surface of fairly noble ruthenium, might be a good (liquid-gallium-metal-alloying-) corrosion protecting coating, that continuously forms if the diffusion coefficient of zirconium metal inside niobium is low, and it does not dissolve into the liquid gallium, but it's fast enough to react to surface oxygen coatings. Yttria stabilized zirconia is a oxygen sensor material, a ceramic best able to withstand temperature fluctuations, and yttrium metal also has low cross section, with a 1523C mp. Same arguments exactly go for fluoride in all cases. It's probably not possible to form a ceramic material, and say glue it to the reactor vessel surface, and expect it to stay there and not to crack, but there are such things as room temperature glass coated reactors, and if one can find a glassy oxide coating amongst these ca-zr-y-ga oxides/fluorides (or even isotopically pure borates and silicates, or, better, germanates and stannates, anything that's a good thermal stress crack resistant surface adhering glass at the proper temperatures), and control the oxygen content in the reactor, you might be able to create just such a glassy corrosion protective surface coating against liquid gallium alloying dissolution attack on a metal.
Chromium is also an interesting structural material candidate, as it does have a decent cross section, not as good as niobium, or even iron, but it melts higher than iron, and carbon content in the niobium, molybdenum, ruthenium set of metals might drop the melting point and high temperature properties just like carbon does in case of cast iron, but if chromium has a high affinity for carbon, a Widia (tungsten carbide/cobalt matrix) -like cermet could be made from say ruthenium/chromium carbide. Or even ruthenium/molybdenum carbide. I don't know if this area has been fully researched and how niobium, for instance, forms cermets with chromium carbide or it itself hogs the carbon and has a eutectic, cast-iron-like. With oxides things might be simpler, except that zinc probably reduces ruthenium oxide and fluoride and completely destroys it, and magnesium or sodium are even worse in this reducing agent aspect. Silicon and boron might have certain isotopes responsible for the high cross section, while the other ones might be awesome, So isotopically pure silicide and boride, also high temperature materials, besides carbides, might lie as an option on the table when protecting ruthenium from alloy-dissolution attack by 1500C molten gallium. I use 1500C as an exaggeration, as even 1000C operating temperature would be great. Or even 500C with sulfur as top stage and steam as bottom stage, 2 stage, compared to the strictly water boiler reactors we have these days, that blow much of the heat energy out into the sky as a cloud plume.
Shows that bismuth excels at neutron economy, while having a 271C mp/1560C bp. In case you can enclose the whole reactor into an electric oven, it may be an economic option, but all I can say is that it's not possible to do manual labor maintenance on 271C pipes and fittings that have been plugged and freshly thawed, but gallium melting at 30C, as a eutectic with zinc (or perhaps magnesium, or perhaps, but much more worse with sodium and potassium) even lower, so even pure cadmium is a joy to work with as far a maintenance personnel applying steam heat to thaw a frozen pipe goes, compared to all the other fast neutron breeder coolant options of sodium, lead, bismuth, NaK, and the like. The only question is whether neutron bombardment of cadmium generates serial neutron poisons, as neutron bombardment of sodium gives magnesium and aluminum, all low cross section, so cadmium giving germanium and arsenic, also low cross section, is that the case?
Also graphite lubricated tubes - not a good idea, as graphite is a moderator, and mess ups in slight thickness may throw the whole reactor into uncertain territory, where moderation speeds up the nondepleted U235 reaction - a good idea would be to have only depleted uranium and thorium, and no U235 fuel.
So an ideal high temperature lubricant then is obviously MoS2, molybdenum disulfide, which does not moderate, from that standpoint, but at 1500C high temperature might be too much and might degrade, compared to graphite that only absorbs into the metal as carbide, but then it might glue and cement the rods to the tube walls via cementation. If both the fuel rods and the tube material have a lot of molybdenum content, MoS2 might be stable and not degrade to monosulfide, unless that one has lubrication properties too. It's very important to be able to slide long fuel rods in and out easily without them being stuck from thermal expansion and distortion and the like, for SCRAM shutdown purposes.
So maybe gallium on the other side could be the "heat sink thermal grease" to conduct heat between the fuel rod and the metal wall, assuming the structural material is already designed to resist gallium metal corrosion anyway on the other side. Also with liquid gallium you could have a huge gap between the tube wall and the actual fuel rod, also encapsulated into the structural material, to where huge thermal expansions and deformations can be tolerated, and the fuel rod does not get stuck, or even if it does, the other ones don't get stuck, and meltdown runaways are easy to shut down by fast removal of fuel to widely spaced distnaces - i.e. remove one rod just outside the reactor, remove another 10 yards away, etc. spread them all over the plant floor and air space widely separated from each other, preferably in a silicon or silicate like concrete neutron shield between them. This wide separation if left in free air mandatory, so critical mass is not attained, as inside the reactor the 2.9x cross section of liquid gallium does kill a lot of neutrons compared to free air, and if there is a total gallium loss, it should be replaced by having enough inventory of (cadmium no good because it's vapor at 1500C), or silicon(no good, it melts at 1410 leaving only) or boron (mp 2300C) control rods with maybe gadolinium as option (no good, melts at 1310, but might be a good option suddenly flood and kill the reactor with gadolinum balls (in case temp under 1310 melting point) shortstop, while the fuel rods get wiggled out, giving plenty of time to think, even weeks, then have the electric oven heat the reactor to above melting of 1310 and the gadolinium pumped out.) In case there is a leak that caused the gallium loss, and would cause a similar loss in gadolinium liquid, boron balls might not leak so fast, unless the gaping hole is too huge, in which case gaseous cadmium or halogens might help, but it's better if there is a way to insert iridium plates between sections of fuel rods, which does not melt at very high temperature, it's safe in air oxygen at high temperature, and has a decently high neutron cross section of 425, compared to 2450 for Cd and 755 for boron, as even boron might ignite and melt as boron oxide. Some kind of standard way or suddenly ripping apart the whole reactor assembly under total loss of gallum coolant, and separating it into say 3 or 4 or more guaranteed subcritical sections suspended in mid air with iridium plates inserted between them, or if in open air anyway, thick (silicon neutron absorbent containing) concrete plates might be a good idea, as inserting anything into a half meltdown reactor, such as a control rod, when the path and hole for it is deformed from the thermal meltdown, is not guaranteed to work, but if it has engineered weak spots for sudden ripping apart and separating the whole thing into small pieces, that might be easier to guarantee to work. Of course nothing beats proper containment, and you're talking huge containment backing up huge containment, box in a box in a box, with
"and also the note, the picture on how U235 cross section" is at Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N... half down the page with the image so titled.
The issue with gas coolant is the low thermal capacity and conductivity and requiring fast flows - just think of your car radiator, what it looks like, and why it needs a fan. And with fast flows you can get uneven velocity distribution, and pockets of local overheating or local meltdown - something that does not happen in a car radiator because you have a maximum highest incoming temperature, but in a gas cooled reactor, such as stacked balls, temperatures can get locally very high to where the whole stack shifts and moves and makes flow distribution even worse. Such a shift in an advanced gas reactor was what prompted the Germans to completely cancel their nuclear research. Now there might be ways to help the issue, I just thought of it yesterday. Instead of a pyramid of stack balls dependent on all others to be in place, and not move, you could have heat exchanger like tube-banks or fuel rod banks that are securely fastened at the two ends, fighting any kind of shift of the whole mass, even if one bar individually overheats a lot, it does not push the other ones out of their position, even if it melts, because of the clearance gap between them being large enough to allow a lot of flexure. Now as something overheats locally, because of uneven flow and heat exhcange rate, it should have lower density, but when you're dealing with light helium (which is not an idea coolant for breeder or fast neutron reactors because it moderates), the variation in density, and buoyant force from that density is very low. So you need something that's very high molecular weight yet has good neutron cross section, for both non-moderation reasons and for buoyancy reasons. For the available options on neutron cross section, see http://periodictable.com/Prope... http://periodictable.com/Prope... and also the note, the picture on how U235 cross section varies with neutron temperature or velocity, and fast neutronss are not as effective at splitting it as moderated slow neutrons, cross section depends on velocity, for reasons that we do not understand, or at least I don't. These cross section numbers are all experimental because we don't have a good understanding of the atomic nucleus, for instance there is probably no theory of the atomic nucleus that would explain why (gadolinium, promethium, samarium) cadmium, boron, silicon and hafnium would have a high cross section, but oxygen, beryllium, magnesium, bismuth, lead, zirconium(best construction material if hafnium free), aluminum and iron have low or decent cross section. In this respect CO2 looks like an ideal candidate, however it's a molecule, a combination of elemental atoms, not just atoms, and when you get a fast neutron coming at it at high velocity, it may form CO + O, and C + O2, and it may char, however if the temperature is high enough, say over 800C in the reaction zone, this would automatically combust back to CO2, so it might take the beating. However the C at 12 molecular weight is still a moderator, somewhat, not as good as helium 4 or water with hydrogen at 1, but better than sodium coolant for instance. For a fast neutron breeder reactor you want a really bad moderator, that keeps the neutrons unmoderated, and fast, able to attack and breed from fertile but otherwise nonfissile materials, like depleted U238, or thorium(which is realtively abundant and cheap.) Not too many things are gaseous at high temperature, yet have a huge molecular weight, and noble gases pretty much top the cake at gaseousness, inertness, and high molecular or atomic weight and nonmoderation. But the heavier gases like Krypton and Xenon, also have a bad high cross section, but Argon, silimar in molecular weight to sodium, is similar to cross section to sodium, and it's relatively abundant and cheap. Sulfur hexafluoride might be even better, as the sulfur is about the same as sodium and argon, but the fluoride is really awe
Dandelions, or Taraxacum officinale, has a white sap, and it taste bitter, but it's not that toxic. They have a modification, a breed, where they make rubber out of the milky latex, as the regular wild type has low latex content. They are gonna make tires of it, just like from the white sap that exudes from rubber trees, natural rubber latex. Natural rubber is mostly inert, it passes through you, not that toxic - just chew and swallow a latex glove which is processed natural latex into a solid form - though some people are allergic to it. I bet there are tons of things where the sap is clear and are toxic, as clarity is dependent on the suspension of insolubles, mostly latex-like rubber particles, and if the toxin is soluble, then it can be deadly yet the sap clear. True that a lot of toxins in nature are extremely complex, and mostly insoluble in water - snake poison for instance is white too. But it all depends on the makeup, and if it has enough hydrophilic groups, it may be soluble at very high molecular weight.
There is a youtube channel i watch called We eat the weeds. I'm like yeah right, but if you think of it, somewhere down the road all veggies started out with we eat the weeds, and learn. Even lillies, you could ingest 1 flower, and wait and see, then ingest 5 flowers, and wait and see, etc. In fact those toxins might be helpful as medicine when you're sick with an infection for instance, at the proper dose. That's how rats treat everything they eat, as they are scavangers and a lot of things are rotten and toxic from the bacteria, fungi and yeasts on them, so they take a bite, then come back later to eat it if they don't get sick. Which is why rat poison has to be tricky. Presently they have vitamin K antagonists, that create no pain, but prevent blood clotting, so if a vessel ruptures in their brain or muscles, they get anyeurism, or if they get hurt and start bleeding, they bleed to death, but they eat it no problem because they don't sense feeling bad from taking a bite. And unless they do bleed in someway, like an external scrape or internal blood vessel rupture, they survive it OK. Sometimes when they try to make me work hard physically I think of rat poison and blood vessel rupture, and try to moderate the level of exertion. I also refuse to get a flat stomach and muscles there, because that's a great way to get a hernia. When it's all soft and muscle-less, there is nothing that really puts a great force on your intestines to exit your abdominal cavity. And hernia operations are expensive, and I refuse to buy health insurance on matters of conscience and principle.
Also, can I run my chemical factory controls on the cloud? What if my Internet connection goes down, or there is a power outage. Locally I could have battery backups, or redundant equipment, but now you're telling me I need redundant network wires going to the cloud? That's a lot of fucking copper or fiber, and they have to go through the same fucking street and light poles, and gets smashed down by the same idiot truck driver who got lost with his oversize cargo, because his GPS device was acting up. Oh how many times my Magellan GPS has told me to go in a loop, then back to the same place where I am, and continue. I swear its got a remote in it, where they can take me through a neighborhood and show me some pretty houses, like, wouldn't you wanna live here? And pay $200,000 for a house? Yeah right.
The ext2 filesystem is only designed to a max of 32 Tera Bytes.

Can I format my harddrive to fat32 on the cloud please. Nope, but you gotta pay monthly rent, on the cloud. Rent? Dude!....
Yeah, because it's like jazz, the thoughts just keep on surfacing and rolling nonstop. It all starts with a quantum fluctuation deep inside my brain that gets filtered and shaped by past memories, plus the parasites that possess me and interface with my nerve synapses pitch in too, and it all gets spilled over here like mental vomit.. I could clean it up but then it would lose the element of spontaneity to it, which is the key thing in jazz.. In fact Gauss and Euler used to present their findings in inhuman ways, that were rigorous, but obviously not the way their mind discovered it, and through that they withheld from others how they thinked.
I hope Dice holdings censors and blocks access to such discussion topics from certain areas of the world. Even if they don't, it's OK though. I mean it's hard to block it from Australia, or even in America there are many foreign nationals and sympathizers. Especially India with rolling blackouts through their electric grid, exploding population levels, and sitting on top of all that Thorium, got to be interested in nuclear technology. But if they hold the cow sacred, and tell you why should I kill the cow, I love the cow, it gives me milk, cheese, I don't want to hurt it, maybe they won't use nuclear weapons on you. But don't bet on it. As they disrespect international treaties and do blasts like smiling Buddha, and some people, who are not very Hindu, and cow loving, like it used to be in the South, but live in the North of Muslim invasion land, they eat rats and mice no problem and are not vegetarian at all. In fact Pakistan and Bangladesh are India, per se, except they were excised from the rest because of the dominating muslim population, and out of those Pakistan also has nukes, but they haven't used it on each other yeat, in disputes like Kashmir, but there have been verbal threats alluding to no weapon is excluded from retaliation if this continues, kinda way, coming from Pakistan. In Bangladesh you have 155 million people stuck in an area of 57 thousand sq miles, while the great state of Texas is 269 thousand square miles, and has 26 million people only, and the whole US is 314 million, and the area is 3,794 thousand square miles. And the people in Bangladesh are not gonna stop fucking, or in the rest of India, and they need lots and lots of electric.

If you fill the lake and let it evaporate, you lose the water.
However, your idea, with a different spin on it, is a great one! Using highly hygroscopic salts, whose relative humidity beats the surrounding air's. Calcium chloride is a standard desiccant, but it's not strong enough for some applications. Same with dehydrated, white or colorless copper sulfate that turns blue from absorption of moisture from air, so you know how you're doing just by looking at it. Sulfuric acid is another substance, but it might have too high a vapor pressure and slowly evaporate too, unlike the previous substances mentioned. Of course almost nothing beats phosphorus pentoxide, however it's that much more complicated recuperating the water from the phosphoric acid that forms and regenerating the pentoxide, you pretty much have to wreck it to raw phosphorous, hydrogen and oxygen, and recombine from there, a very energy intensive process. All the previous ones - calcium chloride, copper sulfate, sulfuric acid, etc. all they need is a heating to boil off the water to regenerate the fresh amorphous substance. If there were some very high boiling but very hygroscopic organic solvent that captures water first, and then from solvent these crystals capture the moisture, there might be a faster reaction rate. Also such a solvent by itself could be used as a water capture at room temperature, then heated by solar heat to distill off the water, in a more efficient way than solid salts, because with liquids it's easy to pump around a process, and also to form spray droplets with huge contact surface area and fast reaction rate, or used in simple cooling-water-tower-like setups. In fact if there is a industrial process that requires a cooling water tower, except the process has to be run in a desert and there is no water for cooling available, but you could use a low volatility/high boiling point liquid, you could let it absorb water, go through the industrial process to pick up heat, then solar heat it real hot to give off the water, then add some extra stages in the water cooling tower setup to cool from the higher temperature. The problem is that a water cooling tower uses cooling from evaporation of makeup water added to the stream, from the droplets in the cooling tower, and lacking water or similar things to evaporate-waste, you're limited to mere conduction/convection type heat exchange. But you don't really have too many options in a desert for a cooling tower if you lack water, but a high boiling liquid, and if you can make that liquid hygroscopic to just the correct amount (expected humidity, because if it binds water too strongly (say it extracts moisture from 2% relative humidity to 1%) it has to be heated to very high temp before it gives it back up, compared to something that can extract water from 20% RH down to 10%, which may need just mild heating. So you might fine tune your solvent to the expected average and minimum RH's that prevail in your target area.
They could double it up, because heating a large amount of solvent for very little water is costly, so you could use a solvent that takes RH from 20% avg available to 10% where the solvent gives up trying, and then you can rip the water from the solvent with a salt bed that takes it from 10% to say 8%, and concentrates up the moisture into a smaller bulk, that's cheaper to heat the extra inert stuff present, then heating a whole lot of dilute solvent to recoup the water from it.
Also in a desert you do have a magical source of energy: the sun and the wind. What you don't have in the desert is hydrogen (or hydrogen oxide(i.e. water)), except whatever is present through relative humidity in the atmosphere.
Desalination is great if you got a pond of saltwater ready right next your property, but unfortunately for most people it would require shipping, or infrastructure, or commercial utilities getting into it. Even if commercial utilities can get it done at a low price, they have no reason not to make a profit and rape everyone in the ass with whatever the price the market is willing to bear. The only downward force on the price is your ability to say no to their price, and either live without water or get your water some other way. The get your water some other way is the only option, which in a desert pretty much sucks, unlike, say northeast USA, when you simply dig a hole in the ground, and voila, you just hit the groundwater table. Or just put up rain collector systems. They don't get enough rain in the desert.
If push comes to shove and you absolutely need to get water lest you die of thirst, the atmophere is never 0% water. Relative humidity seldom drops under 30%, even rarely under 15%. So even at 1% relative humidity, there is water in the air surrounding you, not much but at least a drop, in a desert. At this humidity it will not form a cloud and start a rain, but it's still possible to extract, as long as you are economical about your temperature recouperation. Basically, you need a device similar to liquid air manufacturing, except instead of liquid air you make liquid water, by cooling massive quantities of air. So the plumbing and heat exchange surfaces have to be greater by orders of magnitude (maybe 100,000 times?) than a liquid air machine, but as long as you got sunshine power through solar cells, or wind power through windmills, and you can't sell the electric for money, that you could use to buy water, so it goes to waste anyway, and you're dying of thirst, then the answer is a huge long path of cooling the intake air, adding some extra cold, collecting the drew drops from the extra cold machine surface, and recuperating the cold in such air by countercurrent contacting via a very thin wall aluminum or copper or even iron (I'm lazy to look up the strength to thermal conductivity ratio right now, steel might win) with the next fresh load of incoming air. In a spiral setup you might get a long contacting length with very little area, like on top of a table, and your final cooling device might be a conventional air conditioner or refrigerator or freezer, plus you need a fan or pump to drive the air through your conduits. As far as robust refrigerators are concerned, I'd like to recommend the no-moving parts Einstein-Szilard refrigerator, all you gotta do is give it heat, like a focused sunlight on one side, and it gives you cold, on the other side. RV suppliers have some similar coolers that work from a propane flame heat, but in the desert you get lots of free sunshine heat, with a light concentrator, that you can beam onto a pitch black surface, and that still glows and wastes a lot of the light, so some kind of honey-bee like holes or cavities on the surface (picture a golf ball surface, now imagine the holes much denser, and each like 1/2 inch deep). that "suck in the light" and bounce it around internally for a few reflections, might be worth it.
A great replacement for water is DM (dihydrogen-monoxide).
Unfortunately it costs a little bit more than water, but it's more efficient so it's worth the extra cost.

Also, just in case it's not clear, the necessity for multiple stages of different working fluids - which might seem like an overly complex mess guaranteed to fail - well the necessity for it is that you cannot use ultahighpressure steam boilers going all the way to 1500C, you might be able to push it to 500C (when atmospheric pressure boiling point of water is 100C), but the pressure you're dealing with are so humongous, that there are not structural materials able to hold your boiler together. Switching to another top working fluid, such as potassium is discussed in the literature, allows working at the high temperature with that working fluid under moderate pressure, able to use existing structural boiler materials. Then using the bottoming heat, the heat given off when, say the potassium-steam goes from vapor to liquid, at 1 atmosphere on the potassium side, at the boiling point of potassium (which can be lowered much below the atmospheric 774C if using a vacuum condenser, like a lot of 1960's steam locomotives started using), so suppose you're not running at one atmosphere on the potassium side, but 0.01 atmosphere, and the boiling temperature might be 500C, so on the other side of the heat exchanger you're able to raise steam at say 2000 psi pressure and 500C (i'm too lazy to look up the actual number right now, the principle is what matters), a nice high pressure that you can expand efficiently compared if you only raised steam at 200psi and 150C(whatever the number is), where the Carnot cycle efficiency is very low. Also in absence of the topping cycle, raising steam at 500C to begin with, and not using potassium vapor at say 2000 psi at 1100C, expanding to vaccuum of 0.01psi at 500C, you are discarding a lot of usable energy, sort of like you have a dam, of 100 yards height, and you let the water freely drop, as a waterfall to 25 yards, where you collect it, then you run a turbine on 25yards head pressure, as opposed to the full 100 yards pressure you could have in the first place. Sadi Carnot derived his efficiency of heat engines principles discussing how the heat fluid, that permeates the material, called caloric, falls from heights of high temperature to lower temperature, even if this day we abandoned the concept of caloric because it can be freely generated in a calorimeter by simple stirring about a spindle with flaps on it, friction generates heat from mechanical motion, therefore heat IS mechanical motion at the molecular level, in a different state of entropy, and not a conserved fluid or principle, as the existence of caloric would make you believe.

So everything I said here may in the end not be justified, compared to the status quo, when nuclear fuel is so cheap, that wasting 99% of it in a LWR and dealing with the relatively small amount of waste (compared to, say CO2 emissions from coal power plants or cars) is the best economy. I just wrote all this stuff up to keep people informed, especially the researchers, as there is constant push in this field, such as the Russian lead-bismuth accidents, so just because the major power companies like simple to deal with LWR's, it does not mean that's the ultimate end of story, and in theory, higher efficiency is achievable through better technology, but you have to carefully watch the added complexity cost that brings all kinds of failure and safety issues with it. But as there are present places use liquid sodium, knowing the practicality of dealing with chemicals, I cannot anything but wholeheartedly recommend gallium, which is so mild, if cooled to human body temperature, it looks like liquid mercury, and you can almost sweep it around with your bare palms. But it's not fully researched, and the gotchas, if there are any, you'd only find out along the way of trying.
If there were a way to coat ruthenium or niobium in magnesium oxide and fluoride, that would be immune to zn attack for reduction, or gallium attack for metal-alloy dissolution. Calcium alloying might be better, as calcium boils off only at 1484, and if there is some minimal controlled amount of oxygen present in the reactor phase, even as gallium oxide, it may continuously form a surface coating of calcium oxide on attacking a calcium/niobium alloy plus metallic gallium. However at such high temperatures the diffusion coefficients are so high, that you cannot say calcium-niobium alloy, because the calcium simply goes everywhere all at once, inside the gallium metal and the structural material, and there is no surface coating formed, which requires a diffusion limited process, and a meeting point, controlled reaction zone, at the surface. Barium and strontium are even worse on temperature than calcium, and this trio forms the top most-oxygen hogging elements in the world. However you don't have to go all that extreme, and something with a lower diffusion coefficient but better oxygen affinity than zinc vapor, such as zirconium oxide, or even niobium oxide and molybdenum oxide on the surface of fairly noble ruthenium, might be a good (liquid-gallium-metal-alloying-) corrosion protecting coating, that continuously forms if the diffusion coefficient of zirconium metal inside niobium is low, and it does not dissolve into the liquid gallium, but it's fast enough to react to surface oxygen coatings. Yttria stabilized zirconia is a oxygen sensor material, a ceramic best able to withstand temperature fluctuations, and yttrium metal also has low cross section, with a 1523C mp. Same arguments exactly go for fluoride in all cases. It's probably not possible to form a ceramic material, and say glue it to the reactor vessel surface, and expect it to stay there and not to crack, but there are such things as room temperature glass coated reactors, and if one can find a glassy oxide coating amongst these ca-zr-y-ga oxides/fluorides (or even isotopically pure borates and silicates, or, better, germanates and stannates, anything that's a good thermal stress crack resistant surface adhering glass at the proper temperatures), and control the oxygen content in the reactor, you might be able to create just such a glassy corrosion protective surface coating against liquid gallium alloying dissolution attack on a metal.
Chromium is also an interesting structural material candidate, as it does have a decent cross section, not as good as niobium, or even iron, but it melts higher than iron, and carbon content in the niobium, molybdenum, ruthenium set of metals might drop the melting point and high temperature properties just like carbon does in case of cast iron, but if chromium has a high affinity for carbon, a Widia (tungsten carbide/cobalt matrix) -like cermet could be made from say ruthenium/chromium carbide. Or even ruthenium/molybdenum carbide. I don't know if this area has been fully researched and how niobium, for instance, forms cermets with chromium carbide or it itself hogs the carbon and has a eutectic, cast-iron-like. With oxides things might be simpler, except that zinc probably reduces ruthenium oxide and fluoride and completely destroys it, and magnesium or sodium are even worse in this reducing agent aspect. Silicon and boron might have certain isotopes responsible for the high cross section, while the other ones might be awesome, So isotopically pure silicide and boride, also high temperature materials, besides carbides, might lie as an option on the table when protecting ruthenium from alloy-dissolution attack by 1500C molten gallium. I use 1500C as an exaggeration, as even 1000C operating temperature would be great. Or even 500C with sulfur as top stage and steam as bottom stage, 2 stage, compared to the strictly water boiler reactors we have these days, that blow much of the heat energy out into the sky as a cloud plume.

Shows that bismuth excels at neutron economy, while having a 271C mp/1560C bp. In case you can enclose the whole reactor into an electric oven, it may be an economic option, but all I can say is that it's not possible to do manual labor maintenance on 271C pipes and fittings that have been plugged and freshly thawed, but gallium melting at 30C, as a eutectic with zinc (or perhaps magnesium, or perhaps, but much more worse with sodium and potassium) even lower, so even pure cadmium is a joy to work with as far a maintenance personnel applying steam heat to thaw a frozen pipe goes, compared to all the other fast neutron breeder coolant options of sodium, lead, bismuth, NaK, and the like. The only question is whether neutron bombardment of cadmium generates serial neutron poisons, as neutron bombardment of sodium gives magnesium and aluminum, all low cross section, so cadmium giving germanium and arsenic, also low cross section, is that the case?
Also graphite lubricated tubes - not a good idea, as graphite is a moderator, and mess ups in slight thickness may throw the whole reactor into uncertain territory, where moderation speeds up the nondepleted U235 reaction - a good idea would be to have only depleted uranium and thorium, and no U235 fuel.
So an ideal high temperature lubricant then is obviously MoS2, molybdenum disulfide, which does not moderate, from that standpoint, but at 1500C high temperature might be too much and might degrade, compared to graphite that only absorbs into the metal as carbide, but then it might glue and cement the rods to the tube walls via cementation. If both the fuel rods and the tube material have a lot of molybdenum content, MoS2 might be stable and not degrade to monosulfide, unless that one has lubrication properties too. It's very important to be able to slide long fuel rods in and out easily without them being stuck from thermal expansion and distortion and the like, for SCRAM shutdown purposes.
So maybe gallium on the other side could be the "heat sink thermal grease" to conduct heat between the fuel rod and the metal wall, assuming the structural material is already designed to resist gallium metal corrosion anyway on the other side. Also with liquid gallium you could have a huge gap between the tube wall and the actual fuel rod, also encapsulated into the structural material, to where huge thermal expansions and deformations can be tolerated, and the fuel rod does not get stuck, or even if it does, the other ones don't get stuck, and meltdown runaways are easy to shut down by fast removal of fuel to widely spaced distnaces - i.e. remove one rod just outside the reactor, remove another 10 yards away, etc. spread them all over the plant floor and air space widely separated from each other, preferably in a silicon or silicate like concrete neutron shield between them. This wide separation if left in free air mandatory, so critical mass is not attained, as inside the reactor the 2.9x cross section of liquid gallium does kill a lot of neutrons compared to free air, and if there is a total gallium loss, it should be replaced by having enough inventory of (cadmium no good because it's vapor at 1500C), or silicon(no good, it melts at 1410 leaving only) or boron (mp 2300C) control rods with maybe gadolinium as option (no good, melts at 1310, but might be a good option suddenly flood and kill the reactor with gadolinum balls (in case temp under 1310 melting point) shortstop, while the fuel rods get wiggled out, giving plenty of time to think, even weeks, then have the electric oven heat the reactor to above melting of 1310 and the gadolinium pumped out.) In case there is a leak that caused the gallium loss, and would cause a similar loss in gadolinium liquid, boron balls might not leak so fast, unless the gaping hole is too huge, in which case gaseous cadmium or halogens might help, but it's better if there is a way to insert iridium plates between sections of fuel rods, which does not melt at very high temperature, it's safe in air oxygen at high temperature, and has a decently high neutron cross section of 425, compared to 2450 for Cd and 755 for boron, as even boron might ignite and melt as boron oxide. Some kind of standard way or suddenly ripping apart the whole reactor assembly under total loss of gallum coolant, and separating it into say 3 or 4 or more guaranteed subcritical sections suspended in mid air with iridium plates inserted between them, or if in open air anyway, thick (silicon neutron absorbent containing) concrete plates might be a good idea, as inserting anything into a half meltdown reactor, such as a control rod, when the path and hole for it is deformed from the thermal meltdown, is not guaranteed to work, but if it has engineered weak spots for sudden ripping apart and separating the whole thing into small pieces, that might be easier to guarantee to work.
Of course nothing beats proper containment, and you're talking huge containment backing up huge containment, box in a box in a box, with
"and also the note, the picture on how U235 cross section" is at Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N... half down the page with the image so titled.
The issue with gas coolant is the low thermal capacity and conductivity and requiring fast flows - just think of your car radiator, what it looks like, and why it needs a fan. And with fast flows you can get uneven velocity distribution, and pockets of local overheating or local meltdown - something that does not happen in a car radiator because you have a maximum highest incoming temperature, but in a gas cooled reactor, such as stacked balls, temperatures can get locally very high to where the whole stack shifts and moves and makes flow distribution even worse. Such a shift in an advanced gas reactor was what prompted the Germans to completely cancel their nuclear research. Now there might be ways to help the issue, I just thought of it yesterday. Instead of a pyramid of stack balls dependent on all others to be in place, and not move, you could have heat exchanger like tube-banks or fuel rod banks that are securely fastened at the two ends, fighting any kind of shift of the whole mass, even if one bar individually overheats a lot, it does not push the other ones out of their position, even if it melts, because of the clearance gap between them being large enough to allow a lot of flexure. Now as something overheats locally, because of uneven flow and heat exhcange rate, it should have lower density, but when you're dealing with light helium (which is not an idea coolant for breeder or fast neutron reactors because it moderates), the variation in density, and buoyant force from that density is very low. So you need something that's very high molecular weight yet has good neutron cross section, for both non-moderation reasons and for buoyancy reasons. For the available options on neutron cross section, see
http://periodictable.com/Prope...
http://periodictable.com/Prope...
and also the note, the picture on how U235 cross section varies with neutron temperature or velocity, and fast neutronss are not as effective at splitting it as moderated slow neutrons, cross section depends on velocity, for reasons that we do not understand, or at least I don't. These cross section numbers are all experimental because we don't have a good understanding of the atomic nucleus, for instance there is probably no theory of the atomic nucleus that would explain why (gadolinium, promethium, samarium) cadmium, boron, silicon and hafnium would have a high cross section, but oxygen, beryllium, magnesium, bismuth, lead, zirconium(best construction material if hafnium free), aluminum and iron have low or decent cross section.
In this respect CO2 looks like an ideal candidate, however it's a molecule, a combination of elemental atoms, not just atoms, and when you get a fast neutron coming at it at high velocity, it may form CO + O, and C + O2, and it may char, however if the temperature is high enough, say over 800C in the reaction zone, this would automatically combust back to CO2, so it might take the beating. However the C at 12 molecular weight is still a moderator, somewhat, not as good as helium 4 or water with hydrogen at 1, but better than sodium coolant for instance. For a fast neutron breeder reactor you want a really bad moderator, that keeps the neutrons unmoderated, and fast, able to attack and breed from fertile but otherwise nonfissile materials, like depleted U238, or thorium(which is realtively abundant and cheap.) Not too many things are gaseous at high temperature, yet have a huge molecular weight, and noble gases pretty much top the cake at gaseousness, inertness, and high molecular or atomic weight and nonmoderation. But the heavier gases like Krypton and Xenon, also have a bad high cross section, but Argon, silimar in molecular weight to sodium, is similar to cross section to sodium, and it's relatively abundant and cheap. Sulfur hexafluoride might be even better, as the sulfur is about the same as sodium and argon, but the fluoride is really awe
Yeah.
Dandelions, or Taraxacum officinale, has a white sap, and it taste bitter, but it's not that toxic. They have a modification, a breed, where they make rubber out of the milky latex, as the regular wild type has low latex content. They are gonna make tires of it, just like from the white sap that exudes from rubber trees, natural rubber latex. Natural rubber is mostly inert, it passes through you, not that toxic - just chew and swallow a latex glove which is processed natural latex into a solid form - though some people are allergic to it. I bet there are tons of things where the sap is clear and are toxic, as clarity is dependent on the suspension of insolubles, mostly latex-like rubber particles, and if the toxin is soluble, then it can be deadly yet the sap clear. True that a lot of toxins in nature are extremely complex, and mostly insoluble in water - snake poison for instance is white too. But it all depends on the makeup, and if it has enough hydrophilic groups, it may be soluble at very high molecular weight.
There is a youtube channel i watch called We eat the weeds. I'm like yeah right, but if you think of it, somewhere down the road all veggies started out with we eat the weeds, and learn. Even lillies, you could ingest 1 flower, and wait and see, then ingest 5 flowers, and wait and see, etc. In fact those toxins might be helpful as medicine when you're sick with an infection for instance, at the proper dose. That's how rats treat everything they eat, as they are scavangers and a lot of things are rotten and toxic from the bacteria, fungi and yeasts on them, so they take a bite, then come back later to eat it if they don't get sick. Which is why rat poison has to be tricky. Presently they have vitamin K antagonists, that create no pain, but prevent blood clotting, so if a vessel ruptures in their brain or muscles, they get anyeurism, or if they get hurt and start bleeding, they bleed to death, but they eat it no problem because they don't sense feeling bad from taking a bite. And unless they do bleed in someway, like an external scrape or internal blood vessel rupture, they survive it OK. Sometimes when they try to make me work hard physically I think of rat poison and blood vessel rupture, and try to moderate the level of exertion. I also refuse to get a flat stomach and muscles there, because that's a great way to get a hernia. When it's all soft and muscle-less, there is nothing that really puts a great force on your intestines to exit your abdominal cavity. And hernia operations are expensive, and I refuse to buy health insurance on matters of conscience and principle.
Also, can I run my chemical factory controls on the cloud? What if my Internet connection goes down, or there is a power outage. Locally I could have battery backups, or redundant equipment, but now you're telling me I need redundant network wires going to the cloud? That's a lot of fucking copper or fiber, and they have to go through the same fucking street and light poles, and gets smashed down by the same idiot truck driver who got lost with his oversize cargo, because his GPS device was acting up. Oh how many times my Magellan GPS has told me to go in a loop, then back to the same place where I am, and continue. I swear its got a remote in it, where they can take me through a neighborhood and show me some pretty houses, like, wouldn't you wanna live here? And pay $200,000 for a house? Yeah right.
The ext2 filesystem is only designed to a max of 32 Tera Bytes. And I'll be stuck using that for a long time, unless the unix and windows camp cleans up their act, but all I see is smart phones with ridiculously small screens all over the place, and cloud cloud cloud IBM wants your data on the cloud cloud cloud. Can I format my harddrive to fat32 on the cloud please. Nope, but you gotta pay monthly rent, on the cloud. Rent? Dude!....
Yeah, because it's like jazz, the thoughts just keep on surfacing and rolling nonstop. It all starts with a quantum fluctuation deep inside my brain that gets filtered and shaped by past memories, plus the parasites that possess me and interface with my nerve synapses pitch in too, and it all gets spilled over here like mental vomit.. I could clean it up but then it would lose the element of spontaneity to it, which is the key thing in jazz.. In fact Gauss and Euler used to present their findings in inhuman ways, that were rigorous, but obviously not the way their mind discovered it, and through that they withheld from others how they thinked.
And that's the kind of people I don't want to read my posts.
I hope Dice holdings censors and blocks access to such discussion topics from certain areas of the world. Even if they don't, it's OK though. I mean it's hard to block it from Australia, or even in America there are many foreign nationals and sympathizers. Especially India with rolling blackouts through their electric grid, exploding population levels, and sitting on top of all that Thorium, got to be interested in nuclear technology. But if they hold the cow sacred, and tell you why should I kill the cow, I love the cow, it gives me milk, cheese, I don't want to hurt it, maybe they won't use nuclear weapons on you. But don't bet on it. As they disrespect international treaties and do blasts like smiling Buddha, and some people, who are not very Hindu, and cow loving, like it used to be in the South, but live in the North of Muslim invasion land, they eat rats and mice no problem and are not vegetarian at all. In fact Pakistan and Bangladesh are India, per se, except they were excised from the rest because of the dominating muslim population, and out of those Pakistan also has nukes, but they haven't used it on each other yeat, in disputes like Kashmir, but there have been verbal threats alluding to no weapon is excluded from retaliation if this continues, kinda way, coming from Pakistan. In Bangladesh you have 155 million people stuck in an area of 57 thousand sq miles, while the great state of Texas is 269 thousand square miles, and has 26 million people only, and the whole US is 314 million, and the area is 3,794 thousand square miles. And the people in Bangladesh are not gonna stop fucking, or in the rest of India, and they need lots and lots of electric.
