you’ve just compared a series of critically acclaimed novels to ao3 original, have some shame

Technology@lemmy.world•Grid-Scale Bubble Batteries Will Soon Be EverywhereEnglish
3·4 days agoThere is a thermal energy storage included as s major part. This works because compressing CO2 to 55atm adiabatically heats it up to some 450-ish C, so that heat is pretty high grade, and only the final stage cools it down with heat exchanger open to air. In discharging direction, some heat is taken from outside air to evaporate part of CO2 and heat stored is used up
solar panels are a big one

Technology@lemmy.world•Grid-Scale Bubble Batteries Will Soon Be EverywhereEnglish
14·5 days agocompressors, turbines (like steam turbines), piping, some of which heat-resistant (500C), container for liquid carbon dioxide, lots of plastic for the bubble, something for thermal storage, dry and clean carbon dioxide, these aren’t unusual or restricted resources, don’t depend on critical raw materials or anything like that

14·5 days agoCompressed air without heat recovery is more like 30%, so this is huge
Carbon dioxide can be liquefied relatively easily which is what i guess makes this efficient
does the gremlin really need traffic cone and gun
good call then, however if it’s so close to the plug i’d try to disassemble it and reattach plug to now slightly shorter cable (after taking photos noticing how cables are connected) (unless there are crimped, glued, mold-injected or otherwise irreversibly attached parts)
you can do that even with some crimped connectors, as long as you have spare or can make ersatz ferrula
either way, it’s january problem

Technology@lemmy.world•We're putting lots of transition metals into the stratosphere. That's not good.English
10·8 days agowood, magnesium, aluminum, plastics, they say titanium is bad, but i’d expect iron, nickel, manganese, tungsten, silver, maybe zinc to be worse
why didn’t you stagger the joints, if you make it so that no joint is in the same point in cable then it’s slimmer, more elastic and slightly less prone to failure
considering that you have there a bunch of coax cables in single wrap, you might have some problems with rf signal leakage between them if there are gaps in shield of these coax cables that line up
it also looks like there’s shield over entire cable, it would be a good thing to keep it continuous
if it’s some sensitive rf equipment, especially working at microwave frequencies, then keeping wire diameter and insulator thickness in these coax cables is important, which in practice means you should put there two coaxial plugs and a barrel connector between them. at which point it probably makes more sense to replace cable entirely
