We can tell it's already effecting you by trying to suggest nasa is a waste, when we spend 100 times it's budget on wasted military contracts or the fact we do have a tax bracket that allows someone to even become a billionaire instead of taking back excessive wealth stolen from workers in predatory labor markets. There are other areas we should be getting this money for the public and it sure as hell shouldn't be from aeronautic or space research ffs.

How about bitch about the actual wasteful military spending instead of scientific research into physics and understanding the dynamics of sonic booms. Nasa has like .1% of the military budget ffs.

Great it's cool research though and should continue, if you want to bitch about wasted taxes go comment on military threads and comment there where billions are wasted on shit contracts that never materialize due to incompetent base mangers who can't distinguish vapor ware proposals from real tech. Don't bitch about scientific research that's just fucking dumb.

propylene glycol or pg is the same vapor base used in medical inhalers, fog machines, and regular vapes. It's not harmful. The bad standards of carts way back when caused other chemicals to be introduced as well as black market carts using similar packaging bought of Amazon and super bad refinement processes caused lung issues. That's why you only want to get carts from a reputable dispo now a days.

Wanting to see the assholes ruining our world be put down like a rabid dog is not some fucked thought, these people are actively killing the planet and our opportunities for their greed while fueling culture wars, may we soon collectively stand up like the French did. These fascist fucks need to be reminded who actually does work allowing this world to function and its not billionaires. The sui shit is definitely not good, though, so I'm glad you were able to get through it.

Not if they actually follow the 14th amendment, this would solidify him as having been involved with a coup against the country and should bar him from holding office unless 60% of congress allows him.

No they don't...

Well if this works as they say I'd guess this isn't working without a temperature gradient, just a very small one that is found throughout the molecules in the graphene sheet itself, hence why this needs to be above zero Kelvin and why I'd guess they are only targeting micro/nano sensors to power as they can't ever scale this beyond the inherent gradient present in graphene. I'm not a physicist so don't take my word as the gospel but at the same time I don't see why this is ruffling so many feathers when it clearly can't scale past these smaller voltages that they are targeting, which seems to hint at this just being a way to take advantage of the natural heat loss on graphene for small powered devices.

Could this work as a supplement for those with adhd?

I mean that depends on how quickly it actually cools down the ambient Temps no? Plus we still can't make massive sheets of graphene if I am not mistaken so wouldn't the scale of this make that impossible at this stage? I'd see the benefit for powering micro sensors via ambient Temps though.

I guess in addition isn't the thermal gradient they are claiming is nonexistent just extremely small throughout the graphene molecules? They aren't gonna be a perfectly uniform temperature and thermals don't transfer instantly meaning a gradient would be present. I guess couldn't you prove they aren't reducing entropy by comparing how quickly the sheet of graphene cools when this system is active vs a regular sheet of graphene in the same conditions. I'd guess we would see their system losing heat more quickly than the plain old sheet of graphene thus showing this isn't a maxwell demon?

I mean isn't the graphenes physical vibrations the input/pump in this situation powered by the ambient thermal energy radiating into the graphene? I'm only a software engineer so I apologize if some of this is just going over my head lol.
