I worked with an intern back in 2015 that had built a Farnsworth fuser in his basement during high school. That of course is cool by itself, but then a while later it occurred to me that he probably made one of the most durable products ever assembled by humans. Those little helium atoms are going to be floating about the earth probably until it’s gobbled up by the sun, and then what?
- HPsquared 6y agoThey helium atoms last a long time but probably won't still be on Earth for those kind of timescales - helium and hydrogen have a tendency to "leak" out of our atmosphere and into space.
- jcims 6y agoThat's cool! I thought I had heard similar but wasn't sure. Probably extends the life of those little critters.
