Why Snatch Blocks are AWESOME (How Pulleys Work)
SFOGuyIt would have only been more perfect if the wonderful gentleman who stopped to help had introduced himself as either Bubba or Cooter.
He's right. The people there he runs into are nice.
Algorithm Removes Water From Underwater Pictures
SFOGuyAnd she's specific---that for the use of AI and Machine Learning visual processing of images taken of coral reefs (for example for population counts)--it could be very useful indeed.
For research purposes, I bet it's invaluable.
For instance, accurately knowing coral colors makes identification possible, and accurately measuring the vibrancy of those colors could allow better estimates of reef health.
Texas Man's Invention Creates Drinking Water from Air
SFOGuyI suspect I know what the real game is here: a military contract for forward operating bases...
You still have to move the diesel for the generators---although I know the military wants to get more and more into solar...The cost per gallon at the front line for diesel (transport and whatnot)---is unbelievable when calculated.
In 2009, the cost estimates varied from $40 to $400/gallon...
Sounds good, but .08kWh per liter is 80kWh per M³. Desalination is as low as 2-3kWh per M³. That makes this technology very inefficient by comparison. Useful where absolutely no other source is available.
It bears noting that no where can I find the cost of his machine, only estimates of operation energy costs. Others that make 250 liters per day (with enough humidity) cost around $8500 on eBay. That makes me think his larger unit is likely 10 times that cost or more.
Also, he didn't invent this technology, Arye Kohavi is credited with that, but he may have made it more efficient. Essentially it's an industrial dehumidifier and nothing more.

Interesting--I can't actually tell if the ICE guy KNOWS he's bluffing--or if he isn't sure of precisely what the document in his hand actually lets him do
Inside a Chinese 3D Printing Factory - in Shenzhen, China
SFOGuyThat was cool. Honest question: should you be able to open the cabinet door on a laser printing 3-D resin rig while the laser is running?
Infinite Loop and Drag Race Battery Test
SFOGuyThat's fascinating. I wish the Amazon proprietary cell had been included!

Dubai Creek Tower: Building the World's Tallest Structure
SFOGuylol.
Oh, now I get it.

Dubai Creek Tower: Building the World's Tallest Structure
SFOGuyI don't understand the economics of building this tower...
Paris’ Traveling Knife Grinder
SFOGuyWonderful slice of life video.
But I just spent $275 and a morning managing a metal working friend through an opthalmology appointment to extract metal shavings from their eye...so...Hope he gets back to using safety glasses.

How the Soviets One Upped The West: The TU-114 Story
SFOGuyWait; wasn't that one of the loudest aircraft ever made too? As in--the military version could be traced by SOSUS sensors and NATO fighter aircraft directed to intercepts could hear the engines drumming through their canopies? (as mentioned at 7:43)
I mean; what was the noise level INSIDE the aircraft?
