The #us #navy 's #wave #generator is actually pretty cool: https://youtube.com/watch?v=pir_muTzYM8 When you consider how many #tonnes of #water are being moved, being in that #water looks insanely #scary .
Ouch, apparently #china 's #drought and therefore #water #crisis is reaching new levels of bad: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/chin.. This will affect #food , #manufacturing , #energy and pretty much everything else.
Oh wow, the #river #rhine #drought is probably the #worst since 1616, as messages such as "if you see me, weep" are #revealed due to the #water level: https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/hitler.. And it looks like our #drought may be even worse than this still. Insanity.
Here in the #uk we are seeing even hardy #vegetation going #crispy #dry as #water #sources #dry up: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/nothin.. Apparently in #france they have #water #pipes that are completely #dry . Over the next week it is supposed to get even hotter! We have no #energy to #cool down and no #water in the #pipes . What is supposed to happen here?
Apparently the #river #rhine #water #level has now dropped to a #critical level: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/rhine-.. Apparently this will begin to #disrupt #barges in and out of #germany - a Country about to head towards a #recession .
A #lobe #pump looks like a pretty cool way of making a #pump for #air or #water https://hackaday.com/2022/06/10/3d-print.. I wonder what it could do with a #turbo ?
This 3D #printed #water #cooled #jetengine is so cool it hurts: https://hackaday.com/2022/05/30/3d-print.. I really would like to #experiment with jet engines at some point... Watching this #project by #integza over several years I can see that #metal is basically a #requirement at this point - but it seems like you could get away with having not much metal at all. #aluminium #cooled and built correctly could really be the way forwards with this.
Very cool #air #water #pressure #powered #engine by #tomstanton https://youtube.com/watch?v=1Zf_2CZV6Zw
This is an awesome #hack to #boil #water with a small #motorbike #minibike ! https://hackaday.com/2022/02/13/this-min..
Found out what the #awful #smell was earlier: https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/300403791.. Turns out a #water #treatment #plant #roof caught on #fire - it smelled like #heavymetal ... It was so bad that I thought my #laptop had given up the ghost.
Unfortunately a #water #battery is not nearly good enough for #powering a #home https://hackaday.com/2021/10/08/power-yo.. It's essentially a #mass based battery - in terms of #mass by #volume there are likely more efficient designs. If it also doubled up as a #thermal #mass it might be more interesting...
Currently trying #aeroplanejelly for the #keto #diet - it has next to nothing in it and is easy to prepare. It's currently not set after 4 hours or so, so some #experiments maybe be required to get this right. Apparently it is possible #overcook , #undercook , set for too less a time, #overprocess , too much #water , too little water, etc, etc. Making #jelly isn't nearly as bloody easy as I would have hoped!
Seems like things might be about to #kickoff between #iraq and #iran over #water #supply https://www.dw.com/en/tensions-rise-as-i.. Apparently #iranian #dams have cut off #water to Iraq, meaning lost #crop #harvest ... Thinking back, I really should have taken the claim that water will become the new #oil after the #watershortage in #southafrica and #capetown some years back where they were #rationing their last supplies.
#california in the #us is now cutting off #water #supply to #farmers during the worst #drought season they've had in a long time: https://www.sacbee.com/news/california/w.. This is apparently in order to save some #endangered #salmon - which is going to have a knock on effect for #crops and therefore the #economy ... The situation is very fucked right now. I do not believe they chose the right option.
