The Roadster is approx 80 square feet. A 100 watt panel is 8 square feet. If you covered the car you could get a full kilowatt, or 8 kilowatt-hours while at work. This is enough for a 20% charge on the smaller battery or 30 miles, more than enough for the average commute.
in an environment where many violators believe that they will go unnoticed
In other words, we can't prosecute everyone, so we will scare everyone we can by destroying the lives of the people we do prosecute. It's like a reverse lottery and all you have to do to enter is download a song or two.
Actually, every alcoholic beverage except perfect vodka has many kinds of alcohol in them. Yes, the others are poisonous in high amount, but are there in small amounts.
Yes, but why can't you take that massive amount of heat and run it through some stirling engines. I mean a 100 megawatt coal or nuclear plant running at 40% efficiency would "waste" 150 megawatts of heat. A stirling engine can get up to 80% efficiency, but let's say a real reliable one can get 50%. Also the water cannot stay in the engine until it is ambient temperature, so let's say you lose another 50% there. That still leaves 25% of the 150 megawatts "waste" energy or 37.5 megawatts.
Unless there's something I don't know about power generation, that's a "free" additional 37.5% energy for all high temp. steam generated power.
Yes you can, VERY MUCH SO. For the longest time Cory Maye was on death row for killing a police officer breaking into his house on a wrong address drug raid. Same thing happened in Quebec, but usually it's the police who do the killing of innocent people (and dogs).
This wouldn't be a problem but for the fallibility of the human. If there were an appropriate computer control and navigation system for all commercial air traffic, we would negate most of these problems.
That said, this concept looks very cool if truly feasible.
I must say, that has to be the most gorgeous keyboards I have ever seen. If I could buy one, I would spend up to $150 on it. Well done Sir, I tip my hat to you.
It sure sounds alot like the reversed cause and effect of the "War on Drugs" or "War on Terrorism". Will the government ever learn to back off and let the free market guide itself? And yes, I know the *AA's are the ones pushing for more laws and arrests, but they wouldn't be succeeding without the blessing of the government.
The problem with audiobooks is that there is next to no educational content available. I have searched high and low (mostly high) and found pretty much only "self help" and "personal achievement" material. There are a few Stanford lectures for free on itunes, but mostly current issue type stuff, nothing of real great educational value.
I had a job for 5 years that required driving 1 hour to and from every day. I thought it was such a waste that I couldn't study for some university courses via audio material, but unless I'm blind it really just doesn't exist. I also find my personal informaion retention is much better if the material is heard, not read, so I end up having to read books aloud to myself and then get sick of my own voice.
I also ended up listening to a lot of sci-fi, but would have been much happier with university lectures, scientific papers, or just plain non-fiction books on important topics.
If anyone knows where audiobooks like this could be found, please let me know.
Yes, but the table scraps from such a huge organization is pretty big. Can you imagine if all the companies in the world gave back to the people all the technology they never intended to sell again. We'd all eat like kings.
There are 34.6 megajoules per liter of gasoline. 64 megajoules is less than two liters. I don't see power production being a problem. Only 10 shots per day is probably because of the charge time on he capacitor bank and possibly heat and stresses on the weapon itself. I'm sure multiple units could fire multiple rounds.
While I agree with you about drive-by criticism, you do have to give people some forgiveness for automatically thinking everything is a VC buzz story. After all, most of the "cure for (whatever) in 2 years" stories are just that.

I would think the limiting factor would be the strength of the plastic and not the design itself.

Except it will work for you if it's head tracking 3d, not stereoscopic 3d.

I guess you could say software isn't really wirth it anymore.

I need guns. Lots of them.

I am amazed there are not mass demonstrations and/or lynchings at every one of these trials.
