It's funny, because two male electrical plugs will still pass electricity fine if you put them together.

There's only two videos of it on the company website and they're both rendered. Doesn't really inspire confidence that their product is actually ready to market.

I highly recommend the NodeCore game. It's a really fun game about experimentation and discovery.

In that chaos, Liston started to move so fast that he accidently cut his assistant’s fingers off and also slashed a spectator’s coat.

The spectator thought that he was hurt and died of terror on the spot.

Was this a thing back in the day? You get a little terrified and just drop dead?

Considering how thick that ice is and how fast it's moving, this is actually pretty terrifying.

It's really cool to see in real time an example of how a glacier can erode the terrain though.

I looked into if it would be possible to tow a small trailer with the Bolt, but it's not rated for any towing load so it's an insurance liability. Is your model rated for towing, or are you just accepting the insurance liability?

Woops, I assumed you were the author without even looking. I should probably direct my questions to the comments of the linked article...

I'm struggling to understand how this works.

Overnight the energy storage system continues to press against the water in the chamber even after all the steam has condensed, this provides water pressure to continue powering a hydroelectric generator overnight.

How can this be? Heat and pressure are proportional in a gas. If the steam is condensing, it's losing energy before it can work the turbine.

What's the advantage of using water for the turbine instead of steam?

Is this basically a compressed-air energy storage system that's using heat instead of an electric compressor?
