6730b Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Maybe a topic for interesting tech innovations would be of interest. So starting with this: MIT researchers have developed a portable desalination unit, weighing less than 10 kilograms, that can remove particles and salts to generate drinking water. The suitcase-sized device, which requires less power to operate than a cell phone charger, can also be driven by a small, portable solar panel. Their prototype generates drinking water at a rate of 0.3 liters per hour, and requires only 20 watt-hours per liter. https://news.mit.edu/2022/portable-desalination-drinking-water-0428 3 Dell Precision 5540 w10 ltsc 2019 \ O&O shutup, Dell E7440 w8.1, Tosh w8.1, Lenovo w10 pro.

jaybee83 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 My mind was recently blown when I saw that they finally reached nuclear fusion ignition: https://www.llnl.gov/news/three-peer-reviewed-papers-highlight-scientific-results-national-ignition-facility-record Ignition is basically the point, at which a nuclear fusion reaction becomes self-sustaining, i.e. the energy it generates is more than is needed to keep it runnning, thus generating net energy. huuuuuuuuuuuuuge milestone! btw, its called "ignition" because thats also the point at which a condensed cloud of gas in space turns into a real star, once it gets hot and dense enough to reach nuclear fusion ignition and turn self-sustained. 1 1 Mine: Hyperion "Titan God of Heat, Heavenly Light, Power" (2022-23) AMD Ryzen 9 7950X / Asus ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme / MSI Geforce RTX 4090 Suprim X / Teamgroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-8200 2x24 GB / Seagate Firecuda 530 4 TB / 5x Samsung 860 Evo 4 TB / Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 (Push/Pull 6x Noctua NF-A14 IndustrialPPC-3000 intake) / Seasonic TX-1600 W Titanium / Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2 TG (3x Arctic P12 A-RGB intake / 4x Arctic P14 A-RGB exhaust / 1x Arctic P14 A-RGB RAM cooling) / Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 32" UHD 240 Hz / Ducky One 3 Daybreak Fullsize Cherry MX Brown / Corsair M65 Ultra RGB My Lady's: Clevo NH55JNNQ "Alfred" (2022-23) Sharp LQ156M1JW03 FHD matte 15.6" IGZO 8 bit @248 Hz / Intel Core i5 12600 / Nvidia Geforce RTX 3070 Ti / Mushkin Redline DDR4-3200 2x32 GB / Samsung 970 Pro 1 TB / Intel AX201 WIFI 6+BT 5.2 / Win 11 Pro Phoenix Lite OS / 230 W PSU powered by Prema Mod!

ryan Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 heres a good place to talk about science https://www.scienceforums.net/ similar to notebooktalk.net but clearly about science and to boot some of the members are geniuses Neo : Omen 16 2021 | i7-11800h | 64Gb ram | RTX 3060 (140w) modded | 2tb Evo plus/1tb | 1080p 100srgb 144hz | Windows 10 | Sony 55X85J | ROG Flare | Razer basilisk X Morpheus : HP 15-dy2018ca - 11th gen I5 | 16gb DDR 4 | 1tb SSD | intel Xe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
