Very cool stuff. I might have to look a bit more into this. There's a chap melting copper here with a 13 square foot lens - looks like a pretty small beam, not sure if usable for your purposes. But cool idea, have you got some lens dimensions in mind?
Also, definitely not guaranteeing any safety, but think i'll give it a shot.
I think I'll see what I can do with this, Does something like this look suitable? From my back-of-envelope calculations, this gives 17000N force (about 1750kg-force like they've said).
And then the challenge is to release the pellet, and refill from a hopper containing more biomass material. Can you tell me what biomass material you would be using?
Any material, the software i'll be using has some basic material properties built-in, but theres room for customisation.
Size limitations - any sort of dimensions. Complexity - i could probably do a few mechanisms that are less than maybe 5-10 parts. Or else one large, say less than 50.
CCS should be SCC (State Capture by Carbon worshippers)
Just heard Madeleine King on abc AM.
This is fucked.
If we absolutely must jeopardise our precious artesian basin (the life source of the australian interior) to get some gas out of beetaloo, I'd much rather reimbursement in sweet cash (like taxes), rather than the possibility of maybe potentially getting slightly cheaper gas to burn later on.
Further money thrown to Chevron for CCS, a company that consistantly misses all of its targets, and a tech that isn't ready.
Why not invest in proven policys/tech to reduce emissions? Why not give money to government owned research departments? Or at that very least, not be actively sabotaging CSIRO?
Agree with all the positives. I think disagreements could be solved the same way any group solves disagreements (i.e. not always very well) - so yep the framework would have to very well defined. And yeah fairly sure a constitutional change would be needed, but that's semantics as are the rest of those issues. I think the real crux of the issue is the change from elected person to elected group.
I don't think there's much of a difference between multi-electorate seats and what we have now, surely thats just a case of bigger electorates? Multi-representative seats are not a foreign concept either, i believe that's how it works down in Tassie with their hare-clarke system.
Type "12ft.io/" in front of the url to get around paywalls
Have a look at Perplexity.ai for replacing Chatgpt. It provides sources for the information it gives you.
For posterity sake, i went with something Transcribe!, a 50mb DL that suits my needs exactly
Thanks for that, i expected something a bit more lightweight, but i suppose its a fairly niche use case.
Will put out some feelers for a code
That sounds great! I hadn't even considered capturing human waste. Do you rely on that entirely? or are you hooked into the mains?
Sure, I'll work off that copper coin lad's dimensions and try and make it adjustable like the smelter. Could you point me towards an example of the little coffee can forge?
