It’s not the condensing that takes energy, it’s the thermal release of the water from the desiccant that takes energy. Here’s the real paper with all the details. Avoiding thermal release in favor of mechanical release of water from the desiccant bypasses a good portion of the energy required.
Everyone has a built in extruder, if they’re brave enough.
I’m curious, do ultrasonics also fatigue the capture material, shortening its lifespan?
I agree it’s a bad approach, but also fairly entertaining. I’d love to see it done in a more rigorous fashion though.
DMEM, it’s got what cells crave!
Didn’t see the survivors? Then why fire again? Dumbass.
Maybe tools in general as much as it is about media.
Maybe CNCs ruined the artistry of hand carving things but damn they made a lot of stuff possible too.
Sounds good in theory, but I don’t think that holds up in practice. For example, computers getting more affordable and powerful year by year didn’t stop people from buying them.
If the price is lower than the opportunity cost of NOT having it, people will buy it now, even if the product will be priced better next year.
They are saying it’s redundant, and therefore unnecessary.
Lower prices incentivize consumption though, right? It definitely hurts profits, but people buy lots more pointless shit if they can afford it.
Being bright or not has nothing to do with it. Both intelligent people and less-intelligent people have excellent reasons to hate Musk.
Regardless of that, Falcon 9 is exceptionally reliable.
What are you on about? Crew Dragon might be the most reliable ride to space ever.
All of SpaceX’s bullshit with Starship is completely separate from Dragon/Falcon9.
Bold move for a guy who made a campaign off of the insult “Sleepy Joe Biden”.
Well, worst case scenario someone can fork it.
Just like a ladybug is a type of beetle, all of those labels can fall under the colloquial usage of the term “pedophile”. Technicality has nothing to do with this discussion, underage girls are underage.
I recently received a d4 as a gift that was essentially a d6 but with two rounded faces so it can only land on the four sides. It’s objectively the better experience but feels like treason.
Ah yeah, didn’t mean to minimize the impact of the launch plume, that’s an issue too. But reentry is an entirely different problem with completely different mechanics and the title was confusing about that.
The title is a bit confusing. Reentry is a problem, but not because it’s a rocket plume. It’s because the satellite leaves aerosols in the atmosphere when it burns up, causing a potential failure of the ozone layer, as well as potentially harmful respiratory problems.
It’s looking like the satellite deorbit strategy of fully burning up on reentry is the exact opposite of what should happen - instead it should try to burn as little as possible and fall into the ocean.
In addition, satellite lifespan is too short, requiring more launches and deorbits.
America not doing a whole lot better, we’ve taken a whole generation of the world’s best minds and had them solve the problem of ad optimization. Disgraceful.
On the contrary, they are quite effective. They just don’t work for you.
