However, if you read the website of the George Eby Research Institute, it sounds like a quack: http://www.george-eby-research.com/

Right now every solar hydrogen production technology is an order of magnitude more expensive than steam reforming with little opportunity of ever becoming competitive.

Absolutely not. H2 gives 5.6 MJ/L @ 700 psi, which is too weak compared to diesel which gives 35.8 MJ/L @ 1 atm. Also, compressed H2 is considerably more difficult to work with than diesel. The Department of Energy mandated that t

Have they made a cheap device entirely out of sustainable materials? No. The photoactive GaAs/InGaP would be extremely expensive to fabricate. Have they tested it for commercially relevant timescales? 40 hours is hardly close, realisti

You assume the bombers were definitely carrying nuclear weapons. They needn't if your goal is to have the enemy wipe itself out by this method, they only need to think you are carrying them. Also, I argue that your line-of-sight is inc

>>Even if it fried every electronic device, that'd still be much better than a 10 megaton nuke going off above downtown. My worry is what happens to critical infrastructure. For instance, if the blast were in line-of-sight of mul

Wouldn't a low yield nuclear weapon detonated at a relatively low altitude generate a localized EMP?

There are at least some sunscreens with ingredients (such as titanium dioxide) which will help reflect some UV light. I suspect it is the combination of absorbing molecules and reflective materials which will make up a better sunscreen.

I was just curious, why is 24 x 10000+1 = 107 x 2243 not prime? I was under the impression for any n, 24 x n + 1 is prime.

You shouldn't put so much faith into our system. Your theoretical model for how the system works falls short of reality. If you truly think the law is applied equally among all, you need to do some serious research. The powerful among

DNA mutates spontaneously from background radiation and mutagens present in the cytoplasm (oxygen is even one!) and etc. This isn't normally a problem because the rate at which this happens is balanced by protein repair kinetics, howev
