>Eventually it’s hoped that buildings will be completely self-sufficient, or “water neutral,” using the same water over and over, potable and nonpotable, in a closed loop. I can't see that working have they not heard of evaporation?

That happens to me all the time the solution is I need a push or some deadline. For high school it was a strict (we thought) teacher who brought me from an average of 70% to 95%. For computer programming it was going back to school as an ad

I wanted one of these so bad back in the 90s. I'm surprised I didn't buy one but I think it cost about $1,000 CAD (stuff here is much more than in the US). That's about $1,700 today but really $1,700 now doesn't really c

Heated sheds are not common here. Most if not all don't have any power. I guess if batteries were in it then it could heat using the same batteries. But you'd still need to run a line from the shed to the house anyway to distribut

My Canadian province doesn't allow battery storage in homes. At best if you have a garage you can put one there but other than that no other choice. Outside is not an option since it gets to -20C here in the winter. One local person sp

Dozens of former Avro Air employees got jobs at NASA and were key to the Apollo program too. Owen Maynard probably being the highest profile but there may be others. He was involved in the engineering of the Lunar Module aka LEM. https:&#x

I think it has to be heated other than that I'm not sure. But my point being its storage and stability as a solid material unlike liquefied hydrogen which may cause embrittlement of its container. A solid material, heat to release H, s

I have a small pile of old manuals like Windows OS manuals, Corel, some MS Office manuals, a three volume IBM set (I think for 5150?); Disk Operating System, Operations, BASIC. I hate to throw them out.

Hydrogen can be stored as a metal hydride. More of it can be stored in the same volume compared to liquid hydrogen.

In an office. Maybe it's just me but an office environment would be different than a university environment. It's similar yes but not the same. There are more consequences for your actions in an office plus you are getting paid. O

The War of 1812? What a bizarre thing to commemorate. If anything it was a draw and I say that as a Canadian. The USA were the aggressors and never got anything so really it was a loss for the US.
