Hello, and welcome to the twenty-first century of Technology. Me and my team of researchers, experts, and video editors revealing the world's most thrilling and innovative technologies promising to change how we live, travel, consume, and interact with each other. Enjoy.
This is spiritually and fundementally wrong. Recipiants of organ donatations absorb part of the donors personality and essence upon receiving the organs. They start liking the donors particular taste in music, food and life choices. Imagine the conciousness of a person who once lived life... now trapped in a machine.. how awful..please this should never be done.
3:11 Completely wrong big BS ! ITER hasnever been designed to produce electricity it's just a huge lan to validate technical solutions based on which another reactor will be developed that is supposed to produce electricity, DEMO.
It looks to me that one very important thing is missing with this idea: wind changes direction all the time, and the benefit of the roof increasing the flow through the turbine only works well if the wind blows in the right direction. So, apart from the ridiculously high price of these things, in practice the efficiency will be much lower.
At 6:30 into video, 7.000 kWh. Wow. That is ridiculously super-precise. Don't you proofread or review your audio or video before you upload it? Besides which, it is WRONG, as the intended figure is 7,000 kWh (over the course of a year). You have used a period instead of a comma. OR you have not realised that, in some EU countries, a period is used where in the Anglosphere we would use a comma, and vice versa. (Pretty stupid, and incompatible with programming languages etc, but that's what they do.)
Rotflmao. Wi d turbines of any variety require tall towers, 30-60 feet high minimum to o anything of value. Great as long as the wind blows. I’ll pass.
1-5 cent per kWh in China vs 11-15 cent in US is probably thanks to wage differences and China's lack of interest in protecting their people and environment. When you take everything into account, the chinese version is even less efficient. Not to mention that you're comparing US reality today, vs China's projection, and we know that the CCP is not famous for their honesty.
The nuclear reactor generates heat. That heat boils water and superheats the steam. The hot, pressurised steam is passed through a steam turbine and leaves the turbine partly condensed and at lower pressure. The steam turbine drives an electric generator producing electric power. The exhaust steam must be condensed to water in the condenser so it can be efficiently pumped to the pressure needed to do the work of cooling the nuclear reactor and running the steam turbine. The condenser's cooling fluid required to do this could be air or local water supply. Nether of these cooling fluids are likely to be available with suitable conditions or quantities in the Gobi desert environment. Water because you are in a desert or air because the desert air is already hot except perhaps at night. It is not because it cannot be done but why would you do it? Customers are not readily available out there.
If China has really come up with this technology & if it's really working congratulations to China. P.S. At the back of my mind: Please don't be a CCP propaganda vid
You still need water to condense the steam back to liquid to run through again. About 2/3 of the energy a reactor creates, passes through the steam turbines and is lost as the water is condensed again. Even gas cooled reactors need lots of water for cooling the steam that you run through a steam generator even though no water at all is used in the reactor and steps are taken to keep it out.
By the time the molten salt reactors were being tested the US already had enough plutonium-239 for 5,000 weapons. There were less than 500 useful targets in the Soviet Union and China combined. The Navy had used molten sodium coolant in its first reactor and took that reactor out of the Sea Wolf after only two years because it was too complicated to use and was not very reliable. Even though sodium cooled is not the same as molten salt it still left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Elsewhere in the weapons complex they were already discovering what happens when you mix alpha emmmiters with fluorine compound's. Unfortunately since it wasn't reported many of us got to discover that all over again. As we tried to find a source of neutrons that we could not explain.
Molten salt reactor technology was tested between 1965 and 1969 with only 50% reliability and they're still trying to figure out what to do with some of the wastes. I hope the Chinese or anyone else have better luck.
Scientists working on ITER themselves say that we wouldn't achieve fusion before 2040. Also fusion wouldn't destroy oil and gas, as they have many more uses other than for energy production
There are at least three errors in this video. 1) China's new thorium reactor is a small test of thorium technology and not a finished commercial design. It is an effort to identify and fix problems that will accompany the new thorium technology. 2) U-233 is a fissile material suitable for bomb making. 3) U-238 is depleted uranium and is neither dangerously radioactive nor is it suitable for bomb making. If you put it in with U-233 it will absorb a neutron and become Pu-239... bomb material and disposal problem.
Big daddy elon didn't post it so it can't be real. If big daddy elon did post it, it would be available this time next year, like everything else he promises.
