Good one. Quite funny too.
I don't disagree it looks rather far fetched.
But the point I was trying to make was that there are more than one way to skin a cat, even though this way of skinning was rather far fetched.

I started with sub sections which is not very bad, but then went and decreased the size a lot - which might be:-)

They have superb engineers who I guess would have thought about these and far more complex scenarios.
A possible solution is to have say - the whole tube is not low pressure - only subsections.
These subsections can be quite small, say 5-10 metres wide where they might pull the air out just as the pod reaches that area.
Sections covered with maybe small valves which allow the pods to go in - and not air to come in from the other side.

That itself can be done by so many different means
Say some help from previously vacated chamber or some other system which pushes the air to some other upper chamber - or many other ways.

There might be many many more far better solutions - this was just 5 minutes guess work.

My point is that - these are amazing engineers, and let us believe in them.

Not that they wouldn't have thought about it, but wouldn't it have been better in that case to make it 50:50 PV:Solar Thermal or so?
The PV provides the electricity for the day time use, while Solar Thermal just stores the energy in molten salt. In the night, electricity is taken from the molten salt.
Isn't the price difference per watt is so high that it makes sense to have PV along with it?

Superb work, Danielreiterhorn . Amazing work, and amazing, providing it as open source.

Would you mind if I ask for the motivation to put it as open source?
When it provides 10-20% compression, it would be worth a bit of money, right. In such a case why are you keeping it under BSD licence?
I am in awe of people who do great things without expecting anything in return. Because try as I may, I can never be truly altruistic. So, I try to pick the brains of the ones who are to really understand their motivations.

Are there any hidden selfish motivations, or is it purely altruistic? If I can understand, I will be able to understand a bit more about people. And not me alone, many others in the forum too. Will you be able to help, Danielreiterhorn?

I know it is a long shot. But couldn't he have fainted and fallen - changing many button positions - including this.
I am just giving the benefit of doubt - but the prosecutors, having access to breathing patterns, would be at a better position to judge.

User will create 4 woman fake profiles, and send the content to them too, all the time.
issue solved.

More than that - this will bring every aspect of citizen behavior under the purview of law - which is quite dangerous.
The way the laws are structured, everyone breaks multiple laws daily - most of the policemen turns a blind eye to them - since from a human point of view they know that these are not important.
With camera following them all the time, they will have to leave their humanity aside and will start following the rules mechanically - which I think is more dangerous.
I voted for - not required - since I value a lenient law as more valuable than human excesses which can happen in any job.

It is more similar than it is different. Both uses a set of fins (in jetboil, it is underneath the pan) to effectively reroute the energy that otherwise would have dissipated. Actually, with the fins being on the outside for this design, I think it would be less efficient compared to jetboil.

Just wondering why would Mars lose its oxygen and hydrogen to solar wind if such a small magnetic field can provide such big deflections?

I do see a lot of bigoted comments in the whole chain.
Do understand that all the things mentioned here are part and parcel of developing countries where concept of equality etc takes time to manifest.
Since we are going the anecdotal way, amongst my friend circle it is quite different. None of us bar one stayed in America and not because manual work is beneath them. Everyone wants to stay in India now, due to myraid reasons ranging from bigger opportunities, parents a,d relations etc.
Similar to Japan being made,fun of and then later respected, I believe similar path will follow for all the developing countries china, India and Nigeria included.
Please consider that just 3 years back this same forum used to make fun of code quality etc, which nowadays I don't see. Consider first that humans are equal other than,in the opportunity that they get, then all these things wil be secondary.

Does this also mean that if you sleep less, you become older fast?

Or binary hadron collider?
Is it possible to have two circles of say same circumference each and then redirect the electron/protons to a junction between them where it can collide? With such a contraption, we can keep on revolving the protons until it reaches the required speed.
Obviously this would have been amongst the first ideas to be checked and rejected, but what are the negatives in this idea?

This is slander. Unless he is tested positive, it is extremely unfair to him and the hours he put in to be labelled a cheat without a shred of evidence against him. Cynicism is all well and good - but this goes beyond that. Shame to the mods also.

Since one possible reason is overloading, when they were towing it, how many containers did they drop to sea. If they had dropped enough they could have saved the remaining? Or is my lack of shipping knowledge showing here?
