Me too, and that's a good point. Judging from comnents above, I don't think viewers today (who weren't used to life before the internet and mobile) don't really grasp the level of foresight required at the time to be so

Good answer, thank you. Like I said, it all boils down to the cost of H2 production for a given process. If you have a path to get to $1/kg H2, that is truly awesome! Working very peripherally in this sector, I applaud your efforts, no

Thanks for the response! So, my point is that in the bio-gas process, you are generation H2 + CO2 and using some proceeds from H2 sales to sequester the CO2 you produce. However, with electrolysis (from renewable elect. plants), you aren&#x

You probably know, but don't forget that compressing air is energy intensive. I'm not saying that the extra expense can't be marginalized - especially if you can dramatically increase production, I'm just pointing out th

In case anyone is curious as to how bio-gassification compares to electrolysis (or a hybrid process), I found this 2009 paper [1] that sums it up decently (at least with the technology available at the time): (Note: SEK := Swedish Krone; cu

That's interesting; thanks for the link. If they used foveal rendering and custom optics to tackle the problem, I could see this ultra-high resolution being feasible with current LCD/LED display resolutions. I will attempt to chec

For me, we are concerned with designing our plants to ensure humans can interact efficiently & safely with the systems (power plants) we're designing. Here are some benefits for me of VR over 2D viewing of 3D models: 1. Visibility

The focus seems to be on games, but VR has huge potential in the workforce (engineering, medical, perhaps even office work - data mining/etc.). However, utility software companies like Autodesk products have very shoddy and fickle VR s

47 pixels per degree (PPD) would certainly be good enough to emulate a desktop monitor. In reality, 35 PPD is sufficient, albeit only capable of emulating low end monitors. 62 PPD is roughly the limit of human eye resolution for a general s

Wow, that is useful information! Ne'er again will I buy a text without reading the fine print. Lesson learned.
