  1. how expensive is tellurium?
  2. my brother talked about how much energy a gasoline powered car doesn't use Using Waste Engine Heat in Automobile Engines https://www.asme.org/engineering-topics/articles/automotive/using-waste-engine-heat-in-automobile-engines Harvesting Vehicles’ Waste Heat http://www.wfs.org/futurist/july-august-2012-vol-46-no-4/harvesting-vehicles%E2%80%99-waste-heat GM engineer gets 8m from govt to find a way to harvet Using Waste Heat to Generate Clean Electricity http://www.siemens.com/innovation/en/news/2012/e_inno_1231_1.htm lol, the expensive car maker would use it before the cheaper ones would ie: Chrysler next bmw
  3. why did it take 40 years? lol, thats 30-40 years of wasted energy we got so much of the old tech that generates waste ... how fast is adoption to the new technology? maybe its hard to part with it than to retool it? we still have lots of cars generating waste heat ... buildings that generate waste heat I guess in the next 50 years we'll be very conscious of what little resources we have left ... rather than have thought that what resources we have doesn't last forever ... back in the 70s we thought 75 to 150 years was forever ... if we didn't waste all that fuel ... perhaps 75 to 150 years could have been 250 to 600 years another idea ... since we have low boiling point liquid ... we can heat it up from the sun ... our deserts can be our power generation plants
  4. lol, GE starting on the steel mill waste heat in china (only the coke gas part) (since 2006 technology developed) http://www.smartplanet.com/blog/intelligent-energy/turning-emissions-from-a-steel-mill-into-electricity/10397 http://www.globalgeothermal.com/IronSteelIndustry.aspx mmm there is waste heat from the pig iron isn't there a co2 scrubber technology? why store the co2?
  5. I remember back in the 1980s watching a news broadcast reporting about waste heat like in the train tunnels. Yeah I remember in the train tunnels suffering from the heat generated by air conditioning and hot power relays during the summer. In winter I love the train tunnels because it shelter me from the extreme cold up above. It would have been an interesting idea to see how to capture the waste heat for power generation by viewing all the sources it comes from. It would transform how we design things that uses energy when we must think about ways to capture the waste energy. The argument by my brothers was about how much input energy was put in capture vs how much power is generated. The failure of the argument was about how to think up ways to concentrate or capture the waste heat without costing too much. Much like fusion, it cost more to keep up the reaction than the power it generates. It seems 30 years later various forms of the technology has been popping up. If we had worked on the technology seriously in the past, qe would not have wasted so much of resources we crave for. I saw on the news about using the heat differential of seawater to generate power. they developed an improved heat exchangers to heat up a liquid with low boiling point to generate steam to power a turbine. http://english.ryukyushimpo.jp/2013/06/14/10571/ Developments in waste heat technology http://www.350resources.org.uk/2013/04/16/developments-in-waste-heat-technology/ Germany uses train tunnel heat to heat up apartments http://www.detail-online.com/architecture/topics/heating-energy-from-a-tunnel-019276.html It seems that we need to think about how we use energy while we must think about making use of its waste. ie: We heat up iron ore to make steel ... we don't think about capturing the waste heat ie: The heat in tunnels we don't think about lining it with pipes to carry away the heat into an ante chamber above that will generate power. ie: Vehicles running the combustible engine we don't think about capturing the heat ie: The coal power plants ... the waste heat from the sut Something learned .,. if we use liquids that have lower boiling points ... then we can use less resources to power our generators. ie: Coal, oil, natural gas would be used less of ie: nuclear power plant could have more generators to make use of extra steam thats generated from the low boiling point liquid
  6. The new jaws for Spielberg
  7. will she entertain the bruce willis the meat eater?
  8. sounds like this release will be an update not a iphone 6
  9. Its hard to say how many would boycott and look at avatar ... people still watched it
  10. lol more new wallpaper
  11. hh5

    Dr Who

    well he would make a fine doctor compared to the other doctors
  12. one of his covers @ 0:16
  13. hahahaa someone been keeping up with current events; i forgot that one
  14. Imagine your hard drive 20 times smaller or with 20 times more capacity even if all the components in a device get smaller n faster the interface would still be pretty much the same unless one gets implants, lol
  15. iCheapPhone5

    Dr Who

    would it be funny if jack tries to put moves on the new doctor and serenade him in a kilt I found out he sings (DeLovely)

    Dr Who

    what about that other doctor that tennant met on christmas day? was he in a previous series?

    Dr Who

    I like the comment where if it where not for the films he would have not become fan of the series Watching the bits of the old series ... I wouldn't be a fan because some of it was lame the moffat reboot ... improved and taken out these blemishes but still I admire the series ... and hopefully over time I will watch more of the old series it just that I like to know which doctor had the best series???
  19. yeah I heard that would be in the very soon that the far away if samsung can pull it off
  20. I think I remember a doco on a real hippo and a bird or something like that its just that in the long run ... the nature of a hippo would be to dangerous for their little friend
  21. he's a singer as well but acting (in the movie sense) isn't his career

    Dr Who

    noted I wonder how the people below answered to the fans of time about Dr Who vs Doctor Who not easy to find lol, I think discounting cushing is getting too orthodox than being liberal of the character but looking forward the newer adventurers are great to have than to see a series ultimate cease TV series reboots are never the same ... lol if they take the JJ Abrams way lol
