      From: treon3verdery@gmail.com              Similarly at rooftop solar on two or more story dwellings and commercial       buildings two stories, about 24 feet or 8 meters of optical piping tempered       glass cladding could be placed on the exterior walls of 3 story buildings,       increasing the amount of        ambient and sometimes direct light piped to the photovoltaic by an amount of       two entire rooftop areas or more, at .3 light intensity compared with the       roof, and 4 sides of building, the amount of light piped to the roof is 1.2       times greater illumination        than sky on roof alone, going to as high as 2.4 times greater illumination       with quantum dots and metamaterials, as well as possibly laser etched       heightened transparency gratings, the light piping tempered glass skirt on the       upper two stories could have        98%+ brightness barium paint underneath it or even a high reflectance 99% very       thin silver oxidation less, like argentium coating on it. To provide visual       interest the exterior of the tempered glass could have lenticular microlensing       on it, providing the        appearance of moving shapes from different perspectives and possibly a white       silver pearlescent visual appearance, computer design of the tempered glass       skirt is also beneficial, perhaps changing the glass from 3 mm shower tempered       glass at alibaba 50¢/       square meter to 1 mm or lighter tempered phone glass, at 26¢ per square meter       with the optional lenticular surface especially effective at light piping, 1/3       - 1/4 mass phone surface glass could also make use of less mounting hardware       and even more        widely spaced mounting hardware, with built in screw holes, drones could fly       up the glass panels and install them automatically              Fun new cooling things, perhaps for overclocking pcs, gpus, cryptocurrency       miners, do you like any of them?                             Water propellers with bumps on them called tubercles are 30% more efficient,       at a one person business the person could 3D print tubercles efficient fans       for pc users, if they like they can get a free copyright on the tubercles 3D       shape. Up to 30% more        airflow from a new fan.                             Single soda can fridges or makeup fridges are $11 at alibaba, drill an inlet       and outlet hole in one of these and hose connect or place right next to intake       fan, because it is continuous the most cooling hoped for is 1-5°C, cooler       intake air,                             A refrigerator compressor motor is just $3 on alibaba. If a motherboard and       ram were placed in a 3D printable or injection moldable polymer container, and       the compressor made 11-24 atmospheres of pressure, then fans internal at the       compressed air could        move 11-24 times as many atoms per rotation and cool 11-24 times more. One       side of the pressure container could be all heatsink, either fins, prongs, or       pump through tubes, keeping the compressed air interior cool. As a parts       cost this is comparable        to a pressure compatible disposable propane cylinder, or 7 cast acrylic 35¢       alibaba. Com llghters as a small cheaply mass produced container for just the       CPU chip and Ram.                            Doing compressed air on your own pc: As a startlingly kludgey retrofit to a       motherboard you could just place a big bead of silicone sealant around the cpu       and under a right diameter 3cm tall 3D printed connector pipe with a fitting       for the compressor        pump output. The 3D printed connector pipe could be made out of metal or the       most warmth conductive plastic and have gas channels in it that looped around       each other, did countercurrent flow, carried water, or were also piezoelectric       ally vibrated. At a        production version the compressor motor that replaces the refrigerator       compressor could be 1/100th the size and energy usage such as alibaba 9-35¢       bulk minimotors, that's because after you have compressed the gas, you only       need to top it up a little        ocassionally. Also if someone wanted to engineer a completely new thing like a       soundless metal flexing piezo buzzer connected to a no moving parts thing       called a tesla valve then a 1/2 cc/minute 24-48 atmospheres of pressure could       be produced at 2¢ each                            Make a metal heat sink but the fins or prongs are like music tuning Y       resonators, visibly or invisibly vibrating when an aimed 3¢ piezoelectric       vibrator or dollar store headphone is aimed at them, this causes 100-1000       times more air molecule contacts        per second from vibration thus much greater cooling at the heat sink. The       tuning Y pillars on the heat sink and their resonating stimulant frequency       could be above the range of human and companion animal hearing. An even       cheaper alternative is to use a        12,000 rpm 35¢ alibaba motor with a thunking mass on the shaft to vibrate a       multipronged CPU heat sink, doubling voltage to the motor doubles audio       frequency to 24KHz, above human hearing, and the thunker mass on the shaft,       which is lopsided, could have        multiple bumps, or perhaps bell tuning to it to produce higher energy thumps,       or three mini-thumps per rotation to make 36KHz stimulation of the heat sink       fins or prongs. Noting they are now vibrating and possibly moving in a 1-2 mm       visible blur, the        heat sink fins or prongs further benefit from having transverse holes cast or       laser drilled in them, giving both active air swishing, and much higher       surface area. The do it yourself hobby version is just to glue a high dynamic       range headphone core to a        tuning y heatsink, then play sounds in 20 hz steps, physically looking at the       thing to notice when it goes blurry from motion like a Y tuning shape, then       running a cpu temperature diagnostic to find out if a moving and physically       blurry heat sink        actually does cool better and how much. As a one person business a person       could simply glue headphone cores, or even Bluetooth headphone cores to the 11       most popular heatsinks on Amazon, and publish videos showing the 20-40°       improvement. At crypto        currency miners plural headphone heatsink would perhaps double or quadruple       crypto currency miner lifetime at highest overclock ING voltage, this       increases the total lifetime money earned by the crypto currency miner before       it ceases working.                                    [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
