Not So Pro 3

This technology will be here sooner than later.
Mike Copeland started as a tech, engineer, and now an innovator in the continued development of hydrogen power. He is out of Michigan.
I've watched this video twice now and is very informative. 0 carbon/emissions out the pipe and over 500 HP.
@redline4 I know your gonna like it as it's a GM truck/engine package.
Morning to the rest of you carbon producing, CAD Saw addiction crowd, and Hey Dude wearing mfer's.
Enjoy this link guys!! 33 minutes of time well spent.

For decades, I've felt like hydrogen should be a decent idea to replace/supplement petroleum as a fuel.
Seems like we've already got a distribution network and filling stations, with some up-fitting of the system?

Seems like we could keep a nuclear plant on a more even load by feeding the grid most of the time
and then flip the output into Electrolysis during lesser load times??
Am I just under-thinking it though?

Course I'm still waiting to understand why a nuke plant can't/doesn't supply the power to spin its own coolant pumps!
At least for shutdown events?
I figure it would be awful handy for helping prevent some of those pesky meltdowns we've had.

Morning gents. Physics and math today. Wish me luck.

Pretty sure the pumps run off the grid so that in event of local failure, pumps will continue to run. Kind of a failsafe. I may be wrong.

Probably safety , to have off-site power sources, onsite source and backup generators for redundancy. Even battery backup for switchgear.

Good morning. 52°F/ 11°C going up to 68°F/ 20°C. Chance of a shower this morning.

Saw this on a motorsickle saddle bag yesterday. Maybe Dallas and his BF are on vacation here too.

Yeah but external power link being lost kinda cost us dearly with Fukushima.
I still think there ought to be some sort of aux(?) steam line to spin up emergency pumps if external grid connection is lost. or at risk of it.

Of course (if I ruled the world or sumthin) I'd also have told them to bring in enough "structural" fill/dirt to raise the build site about 75ft or more above sea level also.
Oh Yeah that's a squatload of work, but look at it compared to the problems & costs we now have from the plant getting flooded by the tsunami.

If I ran the whole world, electricity would have been banned in the 1800s.

Late in dues and dudettes. Not so damm hot today, and I am not at a remote substation working miracles. My apprentices hung in there yesterday, and were even joking about the calamity we were facing.

Seems that outsourcing to 3rd party manufacturing isn't a great idea after all. Saving a penny to spend a dollar is bad business. Have a good day. We are half way to the weekend

Working on a s11t wagon from the local dairy. They got 300,000 cows.

If half of those cows are in milk,,, wow that's an operation.

Morning, still stuck at 42 for a morning temp, and soggy too

Getting monotonous

Been spending an hour or so each morning with a wheelbarrow getting cobble rocks from the edge of the property to fill in this section for the boss

PITA

I think it is important to stand on more than one leg when it comes to future electricity production.

This whole renewable production has gone completely off the hinges.
We take topsoil to make solar panel parks, we cut down forests and dig up the bogs so that we can drag the scarecrows to the mountains.

Germany, which has shut down its nuclear power plants and invested 100% in renewables, has storage capacity to survive 30 minutes before a full blackout.

I am neither for nor against nuclear power plants, in my opinion the power plants should be installed inside mountains, it provides a fairly good security against the unexpected.
Preferably close to where there are already hydropower plants.

Morning JB Weld Club…70 to 86, not quite as inferno today. And WTF is Dalice duin’ up this early?…poor things’ urination schedules must be off.

Apparently a lot more than the office dwelling clown in Georgia

He chit the bed again.

Lol a lot of walking getting stuff set up

Saw this on a motorsickle saddle bag yesterday. Maybe Dallas and his BF are on vacation here too. View attachment 389637

What day are you going home?
I’ll make sure I spread some roofing nails lol
