you guys excited for solid state batteries? sources say toyota made one with mid 700 mile range and under 10 minute charging time (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

have you guys heard of the aptera car? it can get up to 40 miles a day from the solar panels that are part of the car. also they have options with the highest being 1000 miles off a full battery TheMuffinMan fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Aug 7, 2023 |

A really great and obvious idea for energy production is to cover the water canals with solar panels. This helps less water evaporate and uses up very little added space.

"A study by the University of California, Merced gives a boost to the idea, estimating that 63 billion gallons of water could be saved by covering California’s 4,000 miles of canals with solar panels that could also generate 13 gigawatts of power. That’s enough for the entire city of Los Angeles from January through early October."

i saw a video over 10 years ago about how orange country in California recycled their water. I think it was greywater. one of the last steps was blasting the water with UV Radiation to help kill the bad stuff. they said the final result was drinkable water.

is solar and/or wind powerful enough to run ocean water desalination plants or do you need nuclear fusion or something.

regarding nuclear fusion power out vs power in (the Qext represents that ratio below) "The record for Qext was held by JT-60, with Qext = 1.25, slightly besting JET's earlier Qext = 1.14. In December 2022, the National Ignition Facility reached Q = 1.54 with a 3.15 MJ output from a 2.05 MJ laser heating, which remains the record as of 2023"

Raenir Salazar posted:IIRC the NIF is also using really old lasers and the facility as a whole is more about weapons related research than about working on a civilian/commercial reactor. It'd be interesting to see how far they could push the envelop using modern technology and engineering based on everything learned with much more efficient lasers and so on. Maybe if that room temp superconductor works out maybe that can help. "Over their 50-year history, lasers have gone from producing powers of a few hundred watts to greater than a petawatt, or a quadrillion watts. Several key technological jumps have allowed researchers to compress laser beams into infinitesimally short pulses, which amplifies their peak power" one petawatt has 1,024 terawatts

Infinite Karma posted:There are a few, off the top of my head. Fresh water is still a limited resource. Technology to store H2 long-term isn't great - the molecule is so small that it's very hard to contain without substantial leaks. Pure H2 and pure O2 are very valuable for non-energy generation uses, so burning them to create energy isn't economically smart. what is pure H2 and O2 needed for besides energy production

"Green hydrogen produced through electrolysis using renewable power costs US$10-15 per kg , depending on availability. Grey hydrogen produced with cheap fracked natural gas costs US$2 per kg in the US, while in Europe, Australia and Asia it costs US$5-6 per kg due to higher natural gas prices" "The Honda Clarity vehicle obtained about 77 miles (124 km) per kilogram of hydrogen in the city, 67 miles (108 km) per kilogram highway and 72 miles (116 km) per kilogram in combined driving." Unfortunately there was not enough demand for the honda clarity so it was discontinued.

have you guys heard of utilizing energy during the day to move brick like things or heat metal? that way you can have that potential energy be used during non sunlight hours. For example, "when a thermoelectric material is exposed to a temperature gradient — for example, one end is heated, while the other is cooled — electrons in that material start to flow from the hot end to the cold end, generating an electric current" bricks that have been raised during sunlight can be dropped to create electricity (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
