The way to do it would be to electrolyze CO into acetate, and feed that to the plants. That's actually more efficient already than to grow on a field.

Nah, just use noise absorber instead of bare flat concrete; e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escher_Stra%C3%9Fe_station shows some tactics for silencing ballast less track (not in the wiki article itself, sadly).

It's also that they don't cool the tunnels like they really really ought to (just feed frozen water into the tunnels and drag the meltwater back out if it won't drain by itself, say by fitting some cars with slush sprayers li

One reason why inductive breaking (Wirbelstrombremse) is only allowed on "feste Fahrbahn" (ballast less track) for Germany's high speed ICE (inter City express) trains, at least as a service brake. On some ballasted track the

That's not a filter, that's structured packing to give the water a large surface area to evaporate from. Or possibly used as a drop catcher with spray nozzles underneath; either way the gas stream hits the surface without excess w

Open compute platform switched to 48V years ago, to afford having multiple PSUs feeding multiple servers, with (those days) a fixed 4:1 switched capacitor down converter right next to the existing 12V-to-0.5~1.5V DrMOS VRM power stages. The

1) the LTE base clock has a giant denominator when using a LimeSDR with it's on-board crystal. A crystal for the LTE base clock is single-digit cost and fixes this (you can even set it up as a VCO to use as a fractional PLL off of some

Also band 40 is the only widely supported TDMA in range of the cheaper SDRs. Even a limesdr mini can speak that, though one may want to get an LTE quartz to keep phase noise in spec (the fraction from the normal quartz has a really big deno

ISM is the only that doesn't do avoidance (where it has primary status, like the 27MHz band). If course it doesn't blast excessively, but it's also not mandated to shield to death.

Both of those are already APIs today in phones. And there's decent reason to not want to tell the server either.
