China's Thorium Reactors.

Every commercial nuclear reactor in the world runs on uranium. Uranium brings three undeniable problems. It creates weapons-grade plutonium. It melts down under pressure. Its radioactive waste lasts for tens of thousands of years. Thorium solves all three. Physicists have known this since the 1960s. The United States actually built a working thorium reactor. They proved the technology was viable.…

Software's Hidden Carbon Footprint: How AI Is Making Apps Greener

Differential Energy Profiling Points the Way to More Sustainable Mobile Computing Every time you open an app on your smartphone, you're making an invisible environmental choice. Two messaging apps may look identical on the surface, yet one might drain your battery twice as fast as the other. That excess energy consumption isn't just an inconvenience—it's a sustainability problem hiding in plain…

This Company Invented a New Way to Do Fusion

The Physics and Future of Cooling

Heat naturally flows across a temperature differential. Many devices (like those using fluid circulation, air circulation, and heat pipes) utilize or enhance this natural flow. However, these methods only move heat and cannot produce a temperature lower than the outlet temperature. I differentiate this from an “active cooling” device, which does more than just move heat around. An active device…

The Untapped Power Beneath the Golden Gate Bridge

The Untapped Power Beneath the Golden Gate Bridge Exploring the Potential and Challenges of Tidal Energy in San Francisco Bay Every day, an extraordinary natural phenomenon occurs beneath one of America's most iconic landmarks. As the tides ebb and flow through the Golden Gate Strait—that narrow, mile-wide channel connecting San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean—massive volumes of water surge…

DIY Supermaterial Could Save You From Heatstroke: Salt based PCMs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nqxjfp4Gi0k The most useful resource I found while investigating phase change materials was the following paper which explores several different types of low temp salt based PCMs: https://www.researchgate.net/publicat... The key to reducing the melting point of a PCM is to make what is called a eutectic mixture ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eutecti... ). In this…

Why Solid Carbon Batteries Are Taking Over

Antora energy They just Renamed Thermal Storage thats all, but it's Kiln hot. Themal losses increase at Delta T increases. Thermophotovoltaic efficiency of 40% Nature article https://www.pv-magazine.com/2023/01/25/us-startup-begins-producing-40-efficient-thermophotovoltaic-cells/ It seems to me I can do this with a Sterling Themoacoustic engine almost as efficiently for a whole lot less money.
