Tech Ping
Many years ago I read a book, the name I can’t remember unfortunately, that postulated this very thing, that nanomachines could be built and programmed like virus3s and injected into people.
At that point, they could mess with your DNA and the only ones “immune “ to it were the ones controlling it and you.
I didn’t think I’d live to see this starting to become a reality.
VP Harris and AOC thinks it’s a great idea we don’t have to burn coal for electricity for our cars all we have to do is drag it behind the car.
The universe collapses.......................
The article says the source of energy is pulses of heat. This implies you must have both hot and cold water or air around. For this invention to perform best one would want a large temperature difference. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Twentieth Century Motor Company ping.
No, it wasn’t.
Nicola? Yes he was working on wireless transfer of electricity.
It bankrupted him. Seems power companies didn’t like that idea.

Graphene is a zero-gap semiconductor, because its conduction and valence bands meet at the Dirac points. The Dirac points are six locations in momentum space, on the edge of the Brillouin zone, divided into two non-equivalent sets of three points. The two sets are labeled K and K’. The sets give graphene a valley degeneracy of gv = 2. By contrast, for traditional semiconductors the primary point of interest is generally Γ, where momentum is zero. Four electronic properties separate it from other condensed matter systems.
Lol... even france has more nuclear power per capita, at least they did 5 years agoish. Its embarrassing.
This is not a scientific article, it’s scientific blarney. Any REAL science would tell the reader where the energy comes from. It is not sufficient to say from “the environment”. That’s meaningless. Does “the environment” change temperature, does it flow from a source, does it chemically change? We don’t know!
J.P. Morgan.
Nanotubes substitute for windmills— the fluid flows from a pump. What powers the pump?
They left out the part sentence that says, “All the big problems are solved and all we need to do is get it into production.”
Yup, industrialists, bankers, Con Ed… all the above.
Can’t go upsetting the Apple cart now.
If Tesla hadn’t given his patents over to Westinghouse….
So what’s the entropy/energy cost?

Fix your mind on a crystal day
Always time for a good conversation
There’s an ear for, what you say”
