    Remember when you and I worked together on this project and how you were the one who actually suggested to use NO2?

    ah good times
    Sorry, no. You must have been imagining things. I never suggested NOx.

    LOL...

    Really?

    At best, a tangent. My problem is not knowing if that reaction will take place at 1/1,000th and less standard atmospheres.
    If it's a tangent, then it's one that you created when you proposed a chemical reaction with nitrogen and atmospheric air to reduce temperature. Your last sentence smacks of google search.

    I suggested my initial thought when I heard of this engine almost a year ago. That much cooling in 10 milliseconds is amazing. I find it so predictable and laughable that you dismiss things out of hand like you do. Since you follow me and post bull where ever I go, it was a fun test.

    Yes, I looked it up, but not using Google. I don't remember all the facts. I went strait to Spectral Calc.

    Your thought process is so limited.

    Goddamn I get a fluffy when you do your quick conversions and show your scientific prowess (like saying NOx instead of NO2). You're just being modest. You're the one who phrased the coin "stuff" when you were referring to science. I knew what you meant, and your subsequent offerings after a few brief pauses (seemingly about the same duration each time, no idea what you're doing during those times but you're the scientist so who am I to say?) proves that you have the answers for everything. If by some chance someone appears to have you cornered, you prove again that you had insight they didn't, probably through your methodology and peer review process that most of the laymen here never even considered.

    Did you notice that article is a "repost" and nothing indicates how old it is? I will assume its in the neighborhood of 15 years old or more.

    Now here is a recent one I find amazing, if it actually works:

    Translation: I Google searched it and found it was 15 years old but I prefer to pretend my experience allows me to assume these things.

    Didn't you see this line in the article: "This article has been reposted from Solar Love with full permission."

    I'm guessing at how old the technology is. The associated pictures has me thinking it's pretty old.

    You shouldn't guess. This proves why as every technology outlet out there covered it and listed it as a breakthrough now. And we all know you google searched everything now. That's your whole MO so quit frontin.

    I shouldn't guess? At least I'm honest about it.

    Who made this moronic statement:
    We don't know the mechanics of it but if compressed air is being used that means its not available from the environment. If it's compressed on the ground then you can dissipate the heat on the ground..
    As for your implication of my googling. I think you are just jealous that I don't have to google everything like you do.

    You are nothing but a pathetic bully.

    Implications? One of your first post's picture was straight from the current wiki page. You have trolls created to just troll you on this particular method of yours. That's your whole MO. Look it up on google and then turn around and act like you know wtf you are talking about.

    Really?

    I guess you don't know how to look at the properties of an embedded picture.

    Right click and select "view image info" and tell us if that leads to wiki.

    Biologically speaking, sugar molecules are energy-dense, easy to transport, and cheap to digest. There is a reason why almost every living cell on Earth generates its energy (ATP) from glucose. Now, researchers at Virginia Tech have successfully created a sugar-powered fuel cell that has an energy storage density of 596 amp-hours per kilo — or “one order of magnitude” higher than lithium-ion batteries. This fuel cell is refillable with a solution of maltodextrin, and its only by products are electricity and water. The chief researcher, Y.H. Percival Zhang, says the tech could be commercialized in as soon as three years.

    When I saw this weeks ago, I was astonished. too good to be true, esp 3 years to production. Essentially of course, like all non-geothermal energy, it's originally solar powered.

    BigAg would love it

    Production[edit]

    Maltodextrin can be enzymatically derived from any starch. In the US, this starch is usually corn; in Europe, it is commonly wheat. While wheat-derived maltodextrin may cause concern for individuals suffering from gluten intolerance, maltodextrin is such a highly processed ingredient that the majority of the protein is removed, rendering it effectively gluten-free.[citation needed] If wheat is used to make maltodextrin, it will appear on the label. Even so, the maltodextrin itself will be gluten-free

    Maltodextrin

    is a polysaccharide that is used as a food additive. It is produced from starch by partial hydrolysis and is usually found as a white hygroscopic spray-dried powder.[1]Maltodextrin is easily digestible, being absorbed as rapidly as glucose, and might be either moderately sweet or almost flavorless. It is commonly used for the production of sodas and candy. It can also be found as an ingredient in a variety of other processed foods.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltodextrin

    since hygroscopic, what would the distribution/transport infrastructure look like? A new meaning for "Keep Your Powder Dry"

    I never got a response back from fuzzbobsquarepants. I'm sure anyone looking at wiki sees that the wiki image is a little different than the one I linked, and clicking on the image leads to a January 2012 article led "SABRE: A High Speed Air Breathing Rocket Engine for the SSTO SKYLON Spaceplane" I think the image I grabbed came from http://aerosociety.com. I definitely did not take it from wiki.

    Fuzzy was shut down again, like always.

    Looks good. I hope it actually pans out.

    Go to the gas station "I'll take the Wheaties brand please."

    How fast will it react and release energy? Could it be uses as an electric car fuel cell?

    High-Powered Lasers Deliver Fusion Energy Breakthrough

    The power of the sun has edged a little closer to Earth. Under x-ray assault, the rapid implosion of a plastic s onto icy isotopes of hydrogen has produced fusion and, for the first time, 170 micrograms of this superheated fusion fuel released more energy than it absorbed. Experimental shots of the 192 lasers at the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California have reproduced such fusion at least four times since September 2013. The advance offers hope that someday in the far future scientists might reliably replicate the power source of the sun and stars.

    "This is closer than anyone's gotten before, and it's really unique to get out of the fuel as much energy as put in," says Livermore physicist Omar Hurricane, lead author of the paper presenting the results published in Nature. "We got more fusion energy out of the DT fuel than we put in to the DT fuel."

    Imo this is a giant step to solve energy problems.


    Money well spent.

    Enzymes are extremely sensitive to pH and temp.

    Big problem based on the small amount of info given. Still neat stuff, but not a battery to use in a Wisconsin winter or possibly on a hot day in Texas. Still waiting for the chlorophyll battery.
