Roger?
Well, if Roger's not here somebody's going to have to do the thermodynamics their own self, and it's good to take the initiative plus show it can be done wihtout scaring anybody by using equations or any of that complicated stuff :)
- lukan 1y agoIs that a sort of joke? If not, you cannot make the land cold with air condition. You can just move heat around, with AC from the inside to the outside, but that costs extra energy -> more heat

You can just move heat around, with AC from the inside to the outside, but that costs extra energy -> more heat Which is exactly what I've been saying since I was a teenager. According to thermodynamics anyway . . .
- LamaOfRuin 1y agoThis is still just moving the heat around, but with metamaterials you can now passively convert the heat energy into wavelengths that do not get absorbed by the atmosphere and beam a decent chunk of it back into space.
