I'd like to hear more about this 20:13 -!- sync350 [~sync@c-174-63-144-224.hsd1.fl.comcast.net] has joined #se2600 21:15 <@Dagmar> You and me both, man 21:19 <@Evilpig> I was reading that then saw where you had posted it earlier. heh 21:20 <@Dagmar> Yeah if companies start messing with that guy, this is something I'd actually side with the Anons over 21:20 <@Evilpig> that article makes a very convicing argument for it. it really didn't touch on the issues around creating / maintaining tiny turbines capable of sustaining power 21:20 <@Dagmar> We are well past the point where we can afford to keep fucking around with gas 21:20 <@Evilpig> that isn't a guy that is a company that is doing hte research. 21:21 <@Dagmar> Yeah but the way BP views it they might as well be less than a person 21:21 <@Evilpig> true 21:21 <@Dagmar> For that sort of efficiency you could pretty much start storing pre-converted energy in a flywheel if you had to 21:21 <@Dagmar> ...or charge an electrical cell 21:22 <@Evilpig> so I realize that the thorium isn't overly radioactive, but it is radioactive. so the steam generation would have to be like a nuclear plant and be contained. it would need service from time to time so you would generate an entirely new industry for service of those 21:22 <@Dagmar> The level of radioactivity is practically a token if it can be dampened with tinfoil 21:23 <@Dagmar> I suspect a small, closed system like our glycol stuff at work would be sufficient 21:23 <@Evilpig> I'm also curious about how much energy it takes to start the reaction. once started does the reaction continue indefinitely or will it take 30 min to get the powerhouse going each time you get to start it? making a need for a battery system like a current hybrid 21:23 <@Dagmar> Keep in mind it's got a laser exciting the stuff 21:23 <@Dagmar> This isn't like a classic ground-based reactor where the shit is just really hot all the time 21:24 <@Evilpig> I realize the amount of radioactivity it puts out it nominal. but it would build up in a closed system. have you seen what they have to do in order to service the turbines in a nuke plant? that's the kind of contamination risk i'm curious about 21:24 <@Dagmar> Hell we used to use Stirling engines for steam 21:25 <@Dagmar> That stuff is a LOT more radioactive 21:25 <@Evilpig> in any case. I really hope something comes of that. 21:25 <@Dagmar> Me, too 21:25 <@Dagmar> I could deal with an engine that doesn't have to be fueled and is damn hard to stop 21:26 <@Dagmar> That would be the sort of shit that would take a lot of the iffy out of flying machines 21:26 <@Dagmar> Also there's the matter of propulsion over the long term 21:27 <@Dagmar> A little bit of thorium might be enough to get a probe out to the edge of the system on the cheap 21:28 <@Dagmar> It might be interesting to do a little more looking into WTF made that last one seem to accellerate beyond what it was supposed to 21:29 <@Dagmar> It could be that certain supposed constants in physics are only constant in the presence of a pervasive gravitational field 21:30 <@Dagmar> Also... :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzG94ct2d5k 21:31 <@Dagmar> Who'd pay money for an animatronic front-end for their home network that looked like that? 21:31 <@Dagmar> <--- THIS GUY 21:31 <@Evilpig> that makes me think of flight of the navigator 21:31 <@Dagmar> You didn't play Portal 2? 21:31 <@Dagmar> I mean, I didn't play it because I was time-constrained, but I watched a lot of trailers. 21:32 <@Dagmar> Wheatley was basically Chell's "native guide" from what I could tell 21:35 <@Dagmar> Heh... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p7VJicsP8c 21:35 <@Dagmar> Soooo nerdy but still funny 21:55 -!- Falun_ is now known as Falun 21:55 <@Evilpig> I did't play portal at all 21:58 <@Dagmar> Ah, that explains it then 22:01 <@Dagmar> Whatley's not "just" an AI--he's primarily a *personality* module, like all the modules 22:03 -!- am1n0 [~devnull@unaffiliated/devemo] has quit [Read error: Operation timed out] 22:43 -!- scribbles [scribbles@unaffiliated/scribbles] has quit [Quit: Lost terminal] --- Log closed Sat Aug 13 00:00:27 2011
