Why are you ignoring wind?
Because its bloody useless in practice.. Tidal, Wave, Geothermal, Hydro electric are the important ones remaining. Result in sod all of the power we need... -- Tony Sayer- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Norway runs on around 90% hydro I believe. Brazil, Venezuela, Egypt, Zambia, China and the USA have huge hydro electric power stations. And where can we put ours then;?... -- Tony Sayer |

"Carbon dioxide is a toxic gas which is odourless and colourless. Rising levels of carbon dioxide affect the human body, but what level is dangerous and how do you know you are suffering from carbon Dioxide poisoning? You won't ever suffer from carbon dioxide poisoning. It's not possible. Carbon dioxide is 'not just an asphyxiant'." That last statement with no basis in fact. http://www.analox.net/carbon-dioxide-dangers.php Yes, perhaps you should have read all of it: "The longer the exposure and the higher the level of carbon dioxide the quicker *suffocation* occurs." Note that *suffocation*. So according to you and that ****witted web****e a pillow is toxic. I did read all of it. Some, indeed many, people would die long before the levels reached suffocation level. Even if the level of oxygen is maintained at normal atmospheric concentration. And not from the lack of oxygen but from the effects of the carbon dioxide on their systems. Is that not a toxic effect? -- Rod |

You get less out than you put in. If you need an incredibly large specific impulse for a given weight you may well think that the losses are worth the conversion. However unless you are powering a rocket or a SABRE engine all you are doing is ****ing fuel up against the wall in order to create hydrogen. |
