Now you've got me wondering how big a lead-acid battery you'd need to run a smartphone as long as a lithium cell.

Back of the envelope calculation says a 5v 2Ah lead-acid cell would be about 20cm^3, so big but not huge. Lead-acid doesn't miniaturise well though, so it'd probably have to be bigger than that.

About the size of the phone itself.

5cm x 2cm x 2cm (20 cubic cm) is a pretty small phone.

My Samsung Galaxy S4 is 13.5cm x 7cm x 0.8cm for a volume of 75.6 cm³. Actually less than that because the corners are rounded.

So about a third or less of the volume of a typical smartphone.

Those are gas hornets. Don't disturb them if you want your gas, poster. Also ask a professionnal oil harvester for help with those. DO NOT TRY THE "FORK TRICK" IT DOESN'T WORK.

Not to mention that Lithium demand already far outstrips mining supply and since every-loving-thing is now carrying a Lithium battery that already large gap is due to get exponentially larger real real soon.

A salon manager in the US state of Nevada has frozen to death inside a cryogenic chamber, where the temperature plunges below -150C (-238F).

Colleagues of the woman, Chelsea Ake, 24, found her body the next morning after she had spent at least 10 hours inside the chamber, according to local reports.

Rejuvenice, the woman's employer, is a clinic that uses "whole body cryotherapy" to treat muscle soreness and injuries through brief exposure to extremely cold, dry air.

Chelsea Ake, 24, was frozen inside a cryogenic chamber at the Nevada clinic where she worked.

Patients are normally placed inside the chamber for no more than three to six minutes.

Investigators believe Ms Ake suffocated after entering the chamber while in the process of closing the store alone, reports said.

The cause of death was ruled as "operator error", implying that the machine did not malfunction, Nevada news network KSNV reported.

The salon, Rejuvenice, says whole body cryotherapy will reduce inflammation and pain, and accelerate tissue healing.

"I do know that she was alone closing the shop up, and then did go into the machine and apparently did not turn [it] off," Ms Ake's friend, Shae-Lynn Bee, told the network.

"Chelsea's everything to me. She was my best friend, and I'm going to miss her dearly."

The clinic is in the city of Henderson, Nevada, just outside Las Vegas. Ms Bee travelled there from Hawaii to collect her friend's body, KSNV reported.

The salon's owners said they were sad at the loss of their friend, but did not comment further.

There is debate over the extent to which cryotherapy is medically effective, but it is said to work by prompting the brain to rush blood to the core of the body for protection.

When the patient leaves the chamber, that oxygenated blood flows back to the body's extremities, boosting white blood cells.

On its website, Rejuvenice claims the therapy will reduce inflammation and pain, strengthen the immune system, burn up to 800 calories and be "beneficial against depression and anxiety".

She'll be fine as long as they keep her frozen until medical science figures out how to unfreeze her body without damaging it.

How about being cryogenically frozen to death at work after being locked in a -150C pseudo-science therapy chamber for 10 hours? No jpg, but that's probably for the best...

The "therapy" should be in this thread too. Any cryogenic system that you can lock yourself into and turn on is not "operator error" if they lock themselves into it and turn it on; it's peak

If it wasn't murder, I wonder if it was suicide. Seems like a fairly fast and painless way to go, no?

A core body temperature of less than 30 C is going to be severe hypothermia, where your skin turns blue and you start to lose higher brain functions until major organ failure. How quickly does body temperature drop in those cryogenic chambers? I can see even 3 to 6 minutes at such cold temperatures bringing you to the brink of permanent damage.

It feels like the equivalent of trying to make yourself tougher by shooting yourself in a non-vital area.

goddamnedtwisto posted:

It's dry air so you'd last a lot longer than you would in much higher temperatures with humidity - strange but true fact, the most dangerous temperature for hypothermia is between -4 to +4 centigrade, because there's still enough moisture in the air to make it much more efficient at lowering your core temperature. Of course there's a lot more confounding factors, and you're still going to die if you spend any decent amount of time at -150, but the scenario suggested (that she suffocated rather than froze) is also possible if it's a small chamber (the ones I've seen are like shower-stall sized).
