The AirFish is a smaller version of this. The cupped shape of its wings does not appear to have curves, which means it will crease like oragami (welded sheet metal sections?) Since the in-ground effect is limited to a couple dozen feet - th

This is the perfect solution for an off grid heat source that wouldn't fatigue electrochemical batteries with limited lifetimes I'd rather reserve for smaller, precise loads (not heating element voltage). I've been saving 1lb

Yeah a paragraph or two with critical information is mere bytes and therefore readily accessible by even the slowest internet connection and processing device - picture & audio are more expensive to serve. This means text is highly visi

I've not intentionally fasted over sustained periods - my reference comes from being inconvenienced by hunger in the middle of necessary activity and persisting anyways. I should try to discipline myself for a few days and see what hap

It makes sense to fast temporarily in order to "jolt" the body into action (reduced external input activates internal compensation processes) as our genetics have ancient embedded protocols developed to push through resource restr

Yeah because of the fault line bringing mantle temperature closer. I think they have drilled 3km to tap into this heat, whereas the deepest hole ever dug so far is in Russia at a depth of around 10km (small diameter). Drilling was limited a

"Just Have A Think" put out a video about geothermal energy today. Iceland and California both have large faults they use for short distance access (3km) to the >200 Celsius available at an average depth of ~40km everywhere el

I recently encountered a small area where there had been a brush fire (could have occurred long ago). I was able to crumble off the outer inch of blackened tree branch stubs and the charcoal seemed fairly consistent. I would have to burn it

Charles Lohr has done some neat projects with this board. Recently he made this post and I've never thought about this level of hand-holding interaction with the silicon itself. https://twitter.com/cnlohr/status&#x

The recent Rogan episode was a virtual call, and the guest at one point said "it is not good that this is what we are spending time talking about". Then they proceeded to talk about it for a few more minutes before I turned it off

I wondered the same thing. It's the exact same service that just changes hands every few years under a new brand. In grade school before the internet, this occurred through physical products. My first grade trend was Yo Yo (Yomega, Bra

Magnum opus* But that is not a useful term here because there is a finality to it. The filter and expansion just sets the stage for someone to one day be able to exist and conjure up something as vast as a Dyson Sphere (or Halo).

Extra terrestrial expansion will be the magnus opum of a species that has adopted science as a standard. For a few decades, such an inhospitable location will become a mecca for "the best of us" (off world or not). The conditions

I'm assuming combat aircraft are capable of delivering more G's than a human body can handle, though pilots train to sustain brief bouts of high G for quick maneuvering - is this limit factored into to the "AI player" ha

Is there a way to mass-disassemble panels and replace the cells? Panel sizes could have been long standardized. I used to buy slightly damaged 6x6 cells on eBay from the factory, so could this be the size template for the automated tooling

Light pollution seems to be a good thing to suppress in general (a bonus for astrological sight-seeing). Could one factor be that constant light negatively affects insect (and plant) circadian rhythms?
