I know that solar panels now come in a bifacial format and here is an article about them.
Two-faced solar panels can generate more power at up to 70% less cost

The panels can generate more than 36 mW per square centimeter—and the back panel produced nearly 97% of the power that the front panel did. That compares to 75%–95% for most bifacial panels currently on the market.

Now add solar reflection and the power increase even more.

Email with photos of the branches and pole power lines on their way to you Tom.

We have seen ships and trucks delay or stop shipping of goods as well as reduced workforce, but we can now add power as well since the inventories of the warehouse cannot receive orders let alone fill them.

Power is back on, but we are still not back to normal yet after so many days without.

#1882 Re: Science, Technology, and Astronomy » Energy Return on Energy Invested for Solar PV » 2024-04-05 13:19:29

With my extended period of no power it's best to have a hybrid system of at a minimum of 240 kwhr of pure electrical a day for a family of 7 to take care of all needs. That energy crosses all air, earth, wind, fire and solar inputs for use stored in all forms that can be created and converted back to electrical after loses.

To many trees and branch cause power line damage with estimates of 400,000 without power from Vermont, new Hampshire and Maine.

#1884 Re: Science, Technology, and Astronomy » Synthetic or Natural Fuel Produced using Solar Power » 2024-04-05 13:08:47

Consider that I pay 0,22 a kwhr that's not bad if we got the same distance from battery stored electrical.

The problem with location and energy source is subsidized cost deflation that changes all values unless only measure is watts.

Winter has returned with 14 inches of heavy wet snow with guts of wind to 50 mph. The power went out last night and I am going to be without power for days as the feed line has been ripped off the pole.

I believe the server backup function was removed asi would not know how much space was to be had for quite some time.

I tried to post the admin menu but got apache error last night.

Not good Electric Vehicle Charging Station Company Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy


Recently, a key EV infrastructure company called Charge Enterprises filed for bankruptcy in the US Bankruptcy Court. Their bankruptcy filing will be a blow to the industry in the US because Charge Enterprises is a manufacturer of EV charging stations, something the country is already in short supply of.

Lordstown Motors, an EV producer from Ohio, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2023 as it sold its assets and restructured its organization. On March 5, 2024, a debtor took control of the Chapter 11 plan.

Well sort of from all of the attempts to land and those that did Map reveals the 7,000,000kgs of space junk we’ve already dumped on Mars

Earlier this week, Nasa tracked down the broken rotor blade of its pioneering Mars helicopter Ingenuity, which suffered a mission-ending mishap in January. The whole chopper itself is only 1.8 kilograms, so the weight of the blade is less than a bag of sugar, but still adds to the growing pile of junk left on the Red Planet by humans

Lots of information contained on 12 slides.

Cherokee Nation wants federal law fix on Black tribal citizens

One of the nation's largest Indigenous tribes is seeking to change a 140-year-old federal law that governs criminal jurisdiction of tribal citizens on reservations based on "blood quantum."

Why it matters: The move by the Cherokee Nation comes as the Oklahoma tribe is welcoming the descendants of formerly enslaved Black people once owned by tribal members as citizens.

The word abbreviation CADRE (Cooperative Autonomous Distributed Robotic Exploration), comes up in the first post, but I think it's not the same....

Not sure what you would change to your experimental index.html page but it is different for sure.

Testing our forum, we have the index page appearing on both of these address bars entries.
https://newmars.com/forums/
https://newmars.com/forums/index.php

One can view the source code of our page to learn where the replacement should also replicate with all other sub forums that we are thinking about as new index areas.

That would give them data on the payload rise timing to adjusting of engine thrust curve. Since the payload on the bfr is a full starship. Next would-be making use of the starships data to get equally variable data forgetting to orbit controlled as well for altitude.

Saw a video link on utube for the last launch and that for the upcoming IFT-4 seems to have indicated that the launch pad was damaged along with damage from engines on the starship during its firing.
