you are part of the problem

Nobody should trust LLMs with anything

ftfy

also any inputs are probably scrapped and used for training, and none of these people get GDPR

oh no, it would be so sad if all these libertarian assholes lost their livelihood in form of money laundering nerd tokens

don’t you know, it’s hate speech against corporate profits

this is not how conspiracy theories work. these start and end with need for feeling special for “having” some secret knowledge. it’s all elaborated nicely if you have an hour of unnecessary time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTfhYyTuT44

easy high power generation from hydrogen would be in gas turbines, but this will have horrendous roundtrip efficiency. which is why it’d be better to soak up peak power in hydrogen and use it for non-power uses, like ammonia and then fertilizers, or direct reduced iron, or various hydrogenations in fine chemicals segment. these things take a solid chunk of energy to make. it’s net positive because it replaces gas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_reforming while storing hydrogen is pain it’s easier than electricity, and some intermediate can be stored too if hydrogen consumption can be surged

gas turbines are also fantastically versatile. any petroleum fraction lighter than grease, ethanol, biogas, syngas, hydrogen, ammonia, really anything that burns and can get through nozzle can be used as a fuel. if you have a carbon-neutral source of liquid fuel that can be stored, you have carbon neutral peaker plant

i thought sodium batteries need low hundreds C for ceramic electrolyte to work. i stand corrected

e: CATL made sodium-ion battery, i was thinking of sodium-sulfur battery

i think that in order for that to happen we have to change the way we think about energy. more of use it when it’s available, and less use it on demand

i have a sneaking suspicion that if 80%+ of energy is used on heating anyway then storing that heat at point of use and topping it up when excess energy is available is the easiest, least wasteful way to go

redox flow doesn’t have that much better energy density. granted, it’s great for long term storage, but it’s still not there, plus it takes stupidly large amounts of vanadium to run. there’s also zinc bromide flow battery but this one deposits zinc so it’s limited on one side

yeah this is fine, but these need to run at high temperatures last time i’ve checked. that makes it a bit more complicated to use

at least it works at scale relevant to grids. there are other interesting devices that store high grade heat in things like molten silicon or sand, then convert it to electric energy again, but it’s rather at prototype scale now i think. power to hydrogen is fine if it’s replacing hydrogen from natural gas, but it’s wack for storage of energy

there’s not enough lithium on this planet to store enough energy for like half of europe nevermind entire world

you know how to do this the right way? use pumped-storage hydropower. need more? build more, then dump power into heaters (or better yet heat pumps) on demand from grid since fossil fuel heating will be replaced anyway. (we’re nowhere close to this, but it can sink a lot of energy quickly while not using it at some other times)

they had one? never noticed

regenerators of this kind are also used in some types of iron smelting furnaces

this is neither what smelting is or what CVD is. smelting goes from oxide to metal, and uses carbon monoxide at ~atmospheric pressure for that. early smelting was used for smelting, but early purification method was forging. there’s Mond process, but it’s not smelting. CVD occurs in vacuum and uses something probably rather reactive on its own that decomposes on target surface, sometimes giving one atomic layer at a time, and it doesn’t have to be metal

why would anyone willingly go to lebanon. it’s a country with cold civil war, only marginally more stable than syria, perpetual shitshow since it was an independent country

how is smelting similar to CVD, elaborate plz

yay!! do more stupid shit faster and with more baseless confidence!
