My phone that had my Google account needs my desktop to move it to My new cellphone.
House is still in stalled mode awaiting permits and winter to end snowing conditions.

Hold up again for roof change for overhang and back deck upgrades causing more delay not to mention snow caused as well.

I can see there is quite a bit of misuse of funds that are not questioned by the IG offices.Budget structures of agency operation all include operations overhead so not all funds got to the intended targeted use. It seems that OMB does not control the agencies overhead.

Nuclear reactor cooling is separate from other sea water uses as it's a closed loop system.

I am still here peeking in now and them. The home has finally started to take shape in that the what was a frame now has walls, windows and door plus a roof all in a waiting state for the metal roof and vynil siding.
All rebuild was forced to use current construction codes. Hence upgrade from 2x4 walls to 2x6 of which the code will soon change to 2x8 which is over kill to get insulating value in the walls.

Seems that mini splits small .75 ton units can be bought at places like Home depot for 500 that are in the 9000 but or under 500 Sq ft area use size.

Like all mars it starts with no connection back to the deliverable mass and energy requirements to the proposed work site for construction.

I have been part of the competition contracts in the past for device creation. They start with statements of work and specifications to meet to achieve the funding.

Good morning all, use of submarine style mars people life is on earth doable under a set of conditions.
1 Nuclear power.
2. Water for cooling, source for drinking or food prep, oxygen creation.
3. Dry and some fresh as well as frozen plus canned goods for mess hall food service.
4. Bunks space are common with minimal possessions.
5. Assigned work station plus schedules.
...list goes on.
It's not just about efficient space use.

Have a merry Christmas to Newmars.

#363 Re: Meta New Mars » Housekeeping » 2024-12-24 09:31:45

Still not with water tight walls yet and the roof is with water shield paper. Waiting to see if all plywood wire on by weekend.

Rain delayed work on house rebuild and improvement with more materials being ordered for Tuesday use followed by more deliveries to do roof and more to seal it up before more weather happens.

My home is a frame currently being upgraded with 2x6 wall construction as we speak.

I did login to newmars forum and new and it resets newmars forum not allowing for a day to be able to login but seemed ok. Found a way to access accounts on old cell with wifi tethering for now.

Made use of edge debugger and here is the page information error:

It appears that the css files are not present but there is an issue in the login.

I did visit from the link and you are correct most things seem there from a data base stand point.

#375 Re: Science, Technology, and Astronomy » Fluidized Sand Thermal Energy Storage » 2024-10-05 18:02:31

I take the word sand as sand being crushed grains that are fine from earth soils and rock. The pipes extend in through the sand and come out the other side. The heat is coming from exhaust heat or from heated air or any other working fliud, or gas that is pumped through the system.

Magaldi's website states that its thermal unit is sustainable, made with silica sand and steel.

charging, storing, and discharging

To discharge, the heat exchanger reverses, releasing superheated steam at up to 752 degrees Fahrenheit.
