Bionic electicity powered by oxygen? sounds like a facinating new path towards bionic organs.

A/C’s already do this but that is not the intended effect. This guy optimized it to not just cool air but optimise it to catch as much water as possible.

Building more technology that operates in a vaccum and use it often will create a practical space where people will discover interesting perspectives that are useful for space travel.

while that would be funny, I suspect resources would best be spent on something else.

then you have redundant copies

Lots of lithium is being discovered in Mexico, China, and Argintina. With climate change the thawing out polar reigions, perhaps more lithium will be discovered in Canada and Siberia. Also people in temperate climates can have devices not using lithium which means that the lithium can be used for people living in colder climates.

So these batteries have Calcium metal anodes and Graphite cathodes. The optimal electrolyte that they tested this with is Calcium Chloride. All of these chemicals are commonly found everywhere and not likely to create conflict minerals, which is awesome! These batteries are rechargable as well! It might be a decade or so to go from science to engineering a means to mass produce these but a great win for humanity! The only downside is that they don’t perform well in temperatures less than 0° C. Which means that some outdoor use batteries will likely still require lithium in areas with seasonal temperature drops.

nvm looked it up.

Apparently in 1949 in Brittain they made an economics computer called “Phillips Economics Computer”, but I’m sure that the scientists building the Phillips Economics computer might have taken notes from the soviets.

This makes me think of the glooper that Hubert made in Terry Pratchett’s “making money”. I think this is where he came up with the idea.

The tolerances for the tube itself in most parts is not the issue. The tolerances at the points most likely to leak are the real issue. I guess we’ll see.

I guess that means that you’ll have to have really precise parking and stopping, have pressure gates to connect to all of the entrances to the train and make sure to maintain each gate with more points of failure and depressurization. The logistics of parking properly (AI assistance would be nice). It could be faster to connect logistically, but definately more points of failure. Then again even if the pressure fails, the concequence is only wasted money. its still a functional mag lift train.

If I lived in a country where the government focused on the future like China does, I’d rather invest in biomedical research, sustainable agriculture, and researching the means to industrialize without harming the environment.

The advantage of lowering air pressure is less wind resistance which is a factor. However if the tubes are longer the more likely they are to break and not able to be hold pressure. Also between stops, if the tunnel needs to be re pressurized which could logistically lose any advantage of time savings of pressurized tubes.

Maybe it can work if they build it very deep and it an express train that only goes between capital cities of each province or something like that.

Beat Elon Musk’s Nurolink project in terms of speed.

However I’d be worried if my brain implant was hastily approved in general, but for this man the technology improved his life so I’m sure he’s going to enjoy it.

(edit) Its kind of wierd that they don’t have a picture of the patient, but I do understand respecting privacy of patients.

Maybe manga, but anime is expensive to produce and investors need to green-light it. Thus the closest thing to revolutionary ideas being proven right can’t make the investors look like the bad guy that can be defeated.

It would be nice if China did though. I’d love to see a fantasy setting undergo a socialist revolution. Utilizing the magic of the world to advance the forces of production for factories and threw the craftsman mages under the bus to produce magical items in magical factories. The experience alienation. Land use policies change to farm magical animals like unicorns for their magical ingredients in factory farms. Clerics and Paladins that serve gods of wealth drive out all of the indigenous druids and shamans to extract from the land without giving back. Even in death, the workers are not freed from the capitalist system. The exploitation of the workers makes it difficult to pay for things, so when a loved one dies, their body is sold to a necromancer to do eternal mindless labor in the factories to assemble non magical items or till the fields.

The spiritual death of the world offends the goddess of the planet and she strikes back with plagues and storms to undermine the human supremacist, unsustainable ways of capitalism. But the ingenuity of creating magic and technologies can hold the world goddess’s power at bay. Thus she has cast out the ability for magic to work in this planet in many ways. Arcane magic still works, but magic of the gods can’t enter her realm. However some people can cast divine magic spells, but it is only because they work in her favor. She no longer tolerates the gods that even the artificers admit are destroying the world. Those most exploited by capitalism sometimes gain a blessing of the godess, but they must hide this from authorities. It is up to the workers exploited by the system to use their power, whether blessed by the goddess or not to change the world as it is to one that serves the all sentient races and in harmony with nature.

You can learn if you can set aside some time to do it. It’s also not a bad thing to learn how to code if you really want to do it.
