The silver lining: moon computers won't need expensive cooling systems.
- DanHulton 17y agoActually, they will. Vacuums don't do shit for getting rid of heat. If anything, they'll need MORE expensive cooling systems.
- Andys 17y agoAnd don't forget all the extra shielding you need to protect circuitry from solar winds.
- w00pla 17y agoOr you could use Athlon Duron processors. In that case, the solar winds would need extra circuitry to protect it from the heat of the processor.
- drhodes 17y agomaybe they'll be used to heat the moon base.
- DTrejo 17y agoYou're saying the dark side of the moon isn't cold? Or only that there is no way for the heat to move away once created?
- DanHulton 17y agoI'm saying that you need something to transfer heat to in order to cool an object. In a vacuum, there is nothing to transfer that heat to - it doesn't just "bleed off into space" or anything. And the dark side of the moon being cold has nothing to do with it being in a vacuum, I don't even see where you get that.
