They’ve had these for about 100 years. It’s called an evacuated glass tube solar oven: https://www.amazon.com/GoSun-Go-Ultra-Portable-Solar-Cooker/dp/B07CJP52D6

You can see them boil water in a video on that Amazon page. I’ve roasted coffee beans with mine, which come out perfectly even because the heat is completely trapped by the thermos-like vacuum.

You can also buy a roof array of these tubes and it can give enough hot water to shower for free or run a hot tub, etc.

you can also put the tube up your rear end and slowly heat something up to 98.6 degrees.

They've had them for longer than 100 years in fact. Back in the renaissance and the early industrial revolution, scientists would use large solar "burning glasses" to superheat different compounds in sealed glass flasks, capturing all the decomposition products for analysis. This was a critical step in the development of modern chemistry.

Construction question!

There's a lot nearby my apartment that used to be a Beer Store but has been torn down to be turned into condos, like everything else in this city. They've excavated the foundation - looks to be about 30 or 40 feet deep - and the whole place is fenced off now. I tend to walk by it in the evening, and I've noticed something peculiar: There doesn't appear to be anyone working on the site, but there's a pipe running around the perimeter with hoses connected to it every few feet, that run down to the bottom of the pit. The whole apparatus makes a constant hissing noise, there must be some kind of gas running through it.

I'm wondering what this is about? I'm guessing it has something to do with firming up the foundation.

Does it look anything like this?

We're dewatering for a project on the coast in Florida using this method.

drat modern construction is fascinating, especially foundation making since it's so dependant on region

I think there was that post about Japanese foundations a few pages back, where they just extend the major support points down into the earth. So it looks like they draw the floorplan with a concrete maze before they start laying down anything.

edit: nvm it was another thread entirely about homes, from 2017, that I was reading recently

peanut posted:

Dang! That looks like a whole different house. Goongrats :peanut: Edit: I love those old school tiny stone tiles in the shower.

Here's some foundation, with some generic modern houses in the background.

Working in semiconductor fabs this was always a nightmare chemical.

They use it for so much stuff. At the (built in the 1980s, I worked there in 2000-2001) AMD fab 14/15, I used to see wet etch dudes carrying around unmarked containers of clear liquid all the time, you don’t know if it is water or HF. This was pre-automation.

Why were the etch-dudes wet?

This is the crucial phase, The reconstruction of pigment. Cells are bombarded with slightly greasy solar atoms which forces the body cells to react, to protect themselves.

That means growing skin. Clever, eh?
