Howdy. I never fail to read about the subject of superconductivity without thinking of Johan Prins and this memorable thread. A few days ago I came across an interesting article on what seems to be a breakthrough in micro-electronics and a work around for conventional induction; namely kinetic induc...

There's lots of energy to power the chemical process in the form of geothermal arising from deep within the earth. There is not really any dispute that petroleum and natural gas can be created this way. Rather the question is whether the petroleum that is trapped, concentrated and found in near surf...

This is very interesting. I'm aware of similar machines, such as injection molding machines, which haveing become obsolete in the context of commercial high volume production manufacturing, had been acquired by groups in China, who then install them into domiciles where people would operate them for...

Actually, if they harnessed the methane generated in the sewage outfall cavern it would probably exceed the Tok.

Issues of reliability aside, are those widely-dispersed spindly white windmills really the best way to capture wind energy? I like the idea of generating some energy from wind where it's practical (and I'm not very happy about the bird/bat mortality), but why these white windmills? I don't recall sp...

Thanks for the link. To think that our leadership is hyper over a few feet of sealevel rise creeping up over decades if not more as we blithely ignore the potential for real catastrophe from the magnitude of impact that barely raises a blip in our history books.This is something I've been interested...

Hmmmm. Buying and Selling? Too bad. I'd had hopes that they'd be into producing and selling. Now that would be interesting. I recall some allusion to their foundation, which incidentally was NOT a 501-c non-profit kind of organization, being involved with funding alternate energy startups whose inte...

I occasionally think back to the Bussard GoogleTalk. When he's reached the end of the technical presentation and asks questions, one of the first from the room filled with Google employees, was something like" Well, why don't you just model this system on a computer to see how or if it will work?". ...

So, BenTC, if it's true that old people have a harder time learning, which sounds reasonable to me and I admit to being an older person these days, is it also true that younger people have a harder time understanding what they are learning in context of how it relates to the existing understanding? ...

The song is the Who's 'Baba O'Reilly' (AKA Teenage Wasteland). Excellent parody, I might add. On the youtube page there are links to M4GW's facebook.

Wow...That seems remarkable. I just checked your weatherunderground link. While that is within reach of the Marine layer and at the head of a presumably deep water fjord in the Southwestern coastal region of Greenland, the almanac says the January average high is 27...and the forecast is calling for...

Can you be specific as to where in Greenland? Is that within the marine layer on the southern coast or up in the interior on the ice-cap?

This hydrogen fuelled seabased cannon/launch system is showing up in a lot of places lately, along with his video presentation/lecture at the googleplex last December.

I miss stuff here on occasion. In regards to getting mass into orbit (high g-capable payloads like fuel specifically) had others previously discussed the hydrogen powered Quicklaunch that Nextbigfuture mentioned in his earlier post? I watched the Googletech Talk that he links to in his post. http://...

For all the discussion of taxation, welfare and tyranny and all that, I am a little surprised that so few have brought up the subject of "the Fair Tax". It seems, to someone like me who is interested in having as little interferrence from government in my daily life throughout the year, the 'pay as ...
