Obviously, we need storage for conventional power uses. But desalination that runs on sporadic power? That would be fine.
And backups are not an issue for desalinization. You only need to desalinate when there is power
So it happens that solar and wind crossed the line of being less expensive to sell to California municipalities than fossil-fuel-based power over the past several years. And the perovskite-based cells are looking very promising, and approaching 30% efficiency for tandem perovskite and silicon cells.
Of course desalinization does not have the storage problem that home power does. If you've got more solar power in the daytime, only desalinate in the daytime. And we have lots of desert in which to make that power.
So yes, there is desalinization in the future. I think the real problem, though, is that California has both more people, and more acres farmed, than it can support.
This assumes that the device with the microphone is sensitive to frequencies above the hearing range. Most devices have a low-pass filter for the purpose of avoiding any input above 1/2 the sample rate of the DAC, since these will create artifacts, aliasing, and distortion. Even in the case that current devices have left out the low-pass filter, it costs pennies to add.
The signal does not have to go through an A/D converter at all. Most competently designed microphone systems have a low-pass filter before the A/D, to prevent aliasing and artifacts, and no signal whatsoever will reach the A/D.
Maybe. We've heard the same phrases for Josephson junctions, magnetic bubbles, insert your favorite once-nascent technology here. There is still a big distance between demonstration and practicality.
Any program which runs right is obsolete.
