Actually no. Batteries and thier inverter adapt in the about one second to half a second range. The massive inertia of a turbine adapts in the millisecond range.
To maintain 60 hz you need to be in the very low milliseconds range. Remember at 60 hz you do a full sin wave cycle in 16ms.
Turbines act as a tremendous power smoother in the grid.
Partially. Inverters providing virtual inertia is good but has the problem of still being active and reactive. It helps and is cheaper and more efficient than flywheels.
Flywheels and turbines however provide a very sticky frequency. They help out a lot with stability and give inverters time to respond.
Think balancing a stick on your hand vs anchoring it in clay.
If we take enough turbines off line we are still probably going to need some mechanical power stabilization no matter how inefficient.
But yeah I think we are going to see a blend using as much electrical and as little mechanical as possible.

It’s not just base load, turbines also provide grid stability. All the quick fluctuations as people turn things on and off are hard to load balance with solar, wind, or battery. A big spinning turbine has a lot of inertia. That helps keep thr grid at a constant frequency. As solar gets bigger and bigger we might need big solar powdered flywheel generators just to stabilize the grid.
Yeah he was 17 at the start of Next Gen. He is 51 now. A lot of time to get better at acting.
If you are trying to steel credentials from people with power and money passengers in first class are a good target.
Where else are you going to find a cluster of people like that that are using the wifi and are going to be there for hours. It’s about as optimal as I can think of.
Even better if you are targeting a spefic company. Just pick flights out of the headquarters for that company.
If you want to attack say Microsoft pick a flight from Seattle to DC. Pretty good odds of a Microsoft high up being on the flight and wanting to use the wifi for work.
People with expensive well worn running shoes have better cardiovascular health. So let’s give people well worn running shoes to improve their health.
I gave up after the first 4 episodes. It was pretty but very poorly thought out. Also I found all the characters boring.
It did inspire me to reread Nikapol.
Yeah he loves 40k. He has a banana boy army. Not really surprising given he played Superman and Gearlt. He likes playing as super human characters.
I agree he is terrible. But he was kind of the perfect mess for highlander.
I love that movie but it was an amazing accident. I watched the commentary track and so many of the good scenes were last minute replacements for stupid ideas that they weren’t able to pull off.
I think if they had made the movie they intended it would have been just as good as highlander 2.
The amazing Queen soundtrack helps as well.
Not only is it hard to get certified for things like rockets but they usually use a realtime os like red hawk (a red hat fork).
“Can we have Star Trek?” “No, we have Star Trek at home.”
To be fair the safety screen is like sunglasses. Sometimes you need them and sometimes it makes things hard to see. But yeah he should have just hit the button or dived under three desk.
RTD Doctor Who usually operates on cartoon logic. The Doctor is smart and can do clever things sure. But pushing radiation from his body into his shoe and tossing it in the garbage. That’s Bugs Bunny stuff.
He is always furious. But this is what he wanted. The gerrymandered districts he forced through pushed a bunch of swing districts into comfortably R at the expense of some extremely D districts.
So yeah it’s great to see increased glbt representation (there is another gay senator) and latino representation but it’s not because we are becoming more tolerant. It’s because republicans have solidified control of the state legislature.
I like Smith and am glad he won. But it’s unfortunately the byproduct of losing one or two other democrat seats in the legislature. That’s not Smith’s fault it’s the republicans fault.
That’s a great documentary.
I like Matt Smith a lot as well. I was trying to keep it to two Doctors per era.
No in fact a good chunk of the early episodes are missing. The show changes a lot based on who is playing the Doctor and who the showrunner and head writer are.
Best bet is pick a Doctor and watch the first episode or two. If you don’t like it try another.
Old run Tom Baker and John Pertwee are good choices. Baker had Douglas Adams as head writer for the early seasons and Pertwee has two of the best companions.
Latter original run had a show runner who did not want the job and it shows.
New Who I would recommend trying Christopher Eccleston or Peter Capald. Lots of people love David Tenant but I find him annoyingly hyperactive.
Mass makes a dent in space time changing the path of objects. That effect we call gravity. Think a person on a trampoline with balls rolling bye. Negative mass would flatten space time or make a hump in it.
The idea here is sort of like an atom looks neutral from far away if you get close there is a big positive charge in the center and a big negative charge in the electron cloud.
So you have normal mass from far away but some wierd effects at very small distances that have effects.
No antimatter has normal mass. It behaves just like normal matter it just has the opposite charge for it’s fundamental particles.
It’s a good question though. Although it was expected that antimatter would fall down not up it wasn’t proven experimentally until 2023.
The way things are going he is either going to leave before the election or shortly after the election.
