Well, this company is claiming that their target is 75kwh per gallon of gasoline, and 1 gallon per day. If they can hit that then IMO they've proven that air-scavenging is not entirely ridiculous.
It's certainly not going to be as effective as shoveling wood, coal, heavy fuel oil, or literally any other form of carbon into a gasifier - but ... all of that stuff costs something. What it costs depends a lot on where you are. If the cost of burnable stuff exceeds the cost of the electricity needed to scalp that 1/4 of 1% of CO2 out of the air, guess which process wins...

2026-05-29 19:16:04 UTC

Someone is doing the methanol process. They are scavenging the air for CO2 - I had written this off as too inefficient, but it actually makes sense because then you don't need to fuck around with supplying it with carbon.
If you're somewhere like in the arctic with airplane and snowmobile access only, being able to manufacture fuel is kind of a big deal.
The downside of all of this is there's a lot of chemistry going on here - multiple stages of catalysts that can end up getting ruined if impurities get deposited on them.
I can't see something like this working for more than a few months before it needs some kind of cleaning, changing of catalysts, maintenance / service / etc.

H2 tanks cost 7$/kWh

Sodium batteries are predicted to hit 20$/kWh
New higher density sodium batteries might be expected to hit 14$/kWh
So it's very unlikely that batteries will remain more expensive than tanks for another decade - and that's why nobody is investing seriously in H2 technology.

With the evolution of batteries, it looks as though internal combustion engines will be relegated to some pretty narrow niches - if not supplanted entirely.
But there's something about them that EVs can never really replace, and it doesn't seem to even have a name. Internal Combustion Engines are "alive" in a way that electric motors can never be.

Don't care. It's our world, technology should exist on our terms.

Well, no. If they got rid of all the non-whites, that would be less population. Less population means they send less trains because there's less people to ride them. But STILL when a train gets delayed because of some debris on the track or whatever, the platform fills up and then the train is crowded...

Suffice to say, I'm pretty experienced with public transport - and I still prefer taking the car.

IMO more likely that batteries will just continue getting better until they have "enough" power density that when you factor in thermal efficiency of turbines, they are okay enough that the fuel cost difference is worth the payload cost.

Wild that literally nobody makes these things anymore.
20 years ago they were everywhere, $100.
Now there's no factories left. All of the high voltage electronics are kind of bespoke and there aren't really supply chains for them anymore, but you COULD make them again.
The real kicker is the tube, the color mask and phosphor coating is a disaster. And what's more, the machines that made them are now archaic. Even if you were able to get one, keeping it maintained and working properly is a skill unto itself. Generally production engineers will always build new lines using only current era (CNC) machines for which the spare parts and knowhow are widely available.
This is an important little lesson that technological capabilities are not to be taken for granted. 20 years is long enough for a technology to really basically just vanish and once it's gone, you would need to go through a whole new R&D process if you ever wanted to bring it back.

ASML went entirely against this, instead they found the best supplier in the world for each one of their critical components, and they signed an exclusivity deal with each one.
So ASML couldn't buy from anyone else, and the company couldn't sell to anyone else.
So China is still trying to catch up, because they are not able to buy ANY of the parts of the stepper.

2026-03-28 17:16:25 UTC

With oil getting expensive, and looking to only become more and more expensive, I've been doing a little bit of research on electric cars lately. Here are some of the things I've found:
1. Gasoline engines are about 30% efficient (diesels about 40%). Gasoline has 36 kWh/gallon of chemical energy, so a gasoline engine makes about 11 kWh/gallon.
2. If you pay 20 cents per kWh then that equals $2.20/gallon-equivalent (just multiply your price per kWh by 11 to get gasoline gallon equivalent price) - if you're paying more than that for gasoline, it's cheaper to drive electric.
3. Battery capacity is indeed quite small, a 100kWh battery used in Teslas is one of the biggest, and that's ONLY equivalent to about a 10 gallon tank. And most batteries are 30-60Kwh... That's why everyone speaks in terms of miles of range.
4. From range and capacity, you can deduce equivalent MPG. One Tesla Model S declares 240 miles of range for a 70 kWh battery, that divides to 3.43 miles per kWh, or 37.7 MPG.
5. Early on, there was a lot of fear that battery degradation would bound the lifetime of EVs to about 5 years. We all have experiences with laptops and phones from the 2000s and 2010s which the batteries degraded to the point that they would not even hold 1 minute worth of charge. The good news is this fear turned out to be unfounded. Improved battery chemistries and active cooling has more or less solved this problem, and degradation in EVs is slow and well understood.
6. Not all EVs are alike. As with ICE vehicles, some are quite decent, others are best avoided. With ICE vehicles, there are well known disasters such as Wet Belts, CVT Transmissions, or the Hyundai Theta II engine. With EVs, the problem is less about catastrophic failure and more about oddball designs where replacement parts are rare and expensive, or are simply too difficult to work on. EVs are somewhat unique in that some of them were made in extremely small production runs and in that case, there are few in junk yards and repair parts are in short supply.
7. Not all EVs are alike. Every modern car is locked down to some extent in order to make it more difficult to repair. With EVs as with ICE cars, some of the more popular platforms have been reverse engineered and have a decent aftermarket. So every car platform has two variables: How anti-repair it is made from the factory, and how well has it been reverse-engineered. Tesla is very repair-hostile, but has a large community that has figured a lot of things out. The Nissan Leaf is a fair bit less hostile, and also has a large community and even has aftermarket / Frankenstein battery packs that some people build.
8. Not all EVs are alike. Big dumb touchscreens, and doors that don't open without electricity so you can't get out in a crash are not obligatory. Be smart.
9. The best EVs seem to be the ones which started being made a long time ago (plenty of time to work out the bugs), and are made in large number, by stable car companies w/o financial problems. Chevrolet Bolt and Nissan Leaf seem to be fairly good - do your own research of course.
10. Electric motors are more or less bulletproof, so in an EV, the only part that you really need to worry about is the battery pack. Most EV battery packs are removable (WARNING: NOT ALL). They are very heavy so you need jacks to get them out, but once they're out they can be repaired on a workbench.
11. You can usually buy second-hand batteries out of a junk yard (check this before buying a car!). This is the most common way batteries are swapped. You can also (depending on the car) go into the battery pack and do repairs or cell replacement. This is quite dangerous as you're dealing with a uniquely deadly combination of high voltage, and insanely high available amperage - and there's no way to "cut power" because inside of the battery IS the power. So some shops will be happy to swap batteries but unwilling to open them, even if the only thing that failed is a small relay.
10. If you're looking at used EVs, you want to know State of Health (SOH) and voltage difference between cells. Different voltage between cells is a sign of failing cells. If this isn't available in the on-board computer, take it to a shop that does EVs and have them pull the numbers before buying.
11. EV owners often do not charge to 100% because filling all the way degrades the battery faster. There is a setting in the onboard computer to make the car stop charging at 90% or 80%. There is LOTS of advice online about this, reality depends on your battery chemistry. Most EVs are NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) batteries, some newer ones are LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate).
12. Battery fires are another problem that is more-or-less solved, UNLESS, you are in a serious accident that punctures the battery. NMC batteries are known to burn, LFP are much safer in that regard, new/experimental chemistries are being developed which will not burn at all but we're not there yet.
13. EVs do not wear out the same way as ICE vehicles (!!!!) In an ICE vehicle you look at the miles on the odometer to see how worn out it is. A 50 year old car with 20,000 miles is "brand new" as long as it lived its life in a garage. Batteries wear just from sitting, so calendar years on a battery matter, even if it was rarely ever driven in those years. On top of that, EVs from the earlier years had more teething issues, so newer models are often a better choice. In the case of the Leaf, pre-2016 models had a design flaw that cause excessive battery degradation, from 2016 through 2019 quality continuously improved, then after 2020 it became more variable with some QC issues popping up. This kind of "good years and bad years" thing is typical of all models, Do Your Research.
I think that's about everything... Let me know if there's anything you're curious about that I didn't mention.

Do you think utility scale fuel cells are going to become a thing? I thought the price would be a killer, even with the efficiency gain.
But sure, if you own underground gas storage - like a spent NG well, you can reasonably make a bunch of H2, push it down the hole, then let it come back up again and run it through a fuel cell (or turbine) in the winter.

> turning it into natural gas lowers conversion efficiency
Hmm, the requirement to make CO does reduce the efficiency somewhat, but you could do: C+H2O→CO+H2 with energy being supplied either electrically, or just tolerating some loss by adding O2 to the carbon. Then you add +3 additional H2 from an electrolyzer and do CO+3H2→CH4+H2O with nickel catalyst.
This is based on a power-is-cheaper-than-messing-around-with-coal theory, but I confess that as long as mined NG is widely available and LNG economy exists, there's basically no point.
> plus you're releasing CO2 into the air
I'm not convinced anybody actually cares (outside of college students). The people designing energy storage just care about storing energy cheaply. Now coal supply chain is a legitimate concern, and cleaning up the sulfur and other crap found in the coal is also a problem.
> liquifying gas isn't really smart either since you need to cool it south of 160°C under high pressure
I'm aware. But the point is these big dumb machines do exist, and they output something that is more or less storable / transportable, and is highly useful for industry...

- reply

I see. Well, converting H2 into CH4 is not *that* big a deal either, if you're doing it at scale. Yes, it requires coal, but that's another supply chain which is fairly stable and exists already. And if you're going to CH4 then it's even better because you can make that into LNG.
But lets say you're just doing H2, you can still use it for storage in salt caves.

Ukranian interceptor-drones are likely to put Iranian suicide drones out of business, unless they are able to put guns on the suicide drones and start shooting down the interceptors.
Alternatively if they can fly them to their destination while staying high, and then dive at the end, they remain out of interceptor range until they're already over a target - so knocking them out is not useful because they're still going to land a hit. This only works if they can protect their payload from unintentional detonation, which is hard if it's a bomb, but if it's something like thermite then it may be fairly easy.
Triggering a thermite payload to start burning a few seconds before it lands on its target does not change its effectiveness.
However, as long as Iran has long range missiles, they can turn Hormuz into a toll road simply by declaring that any tanker who does not pay the toll has a chance of being hit. Tanker companies will simply pay to stay on their good side.
There's a world in which this war basically winds down in a stalemate, with Iran simply extracting $20 per barrel as a protection racket for the foreseeable future. America can seize their islands if they want to, but that really doesn't affect their ability to hit tankers with missiles - and all they need is a credible threat to extract payment.
Word on the street is they're currently charging $1 per barrel. IMO they can raise this a lot, and oil companies will pay.

These things are being THOUGHT, not said.
Because in high level military if you say anything that hints you might be open to participating in a coup d'etat, you're out the door *immediately*...
So when a government starts going off the rails, there's a lot of winks, nods, and body language in military to see where everybody's head is at. When that eventually translates into actual action, it's swift and total.

CO2 is a meme, but air quality where powerplants are located near populated areas is an important consideration.
But at this point, it's even more expensive than like propane so it's pretty dumb.
Anyway, countries just need to get off their collective behinds and build nuclear generation capacity. This business of mining, shipping, and burning is mega dumb.

Natural Gas is such a dumb energy source.
It's incompressible bullshit that needs to be frozen to negative a million degrees to become liquid.
Otherwise you need to transport it in pipelines which need to be built out everywhere.
And the only reason anyone messes around with this dumb shit is because it's way cheaper than anything else.

What do you think is the chance the US is buying missiles from China?
IMO the US is not above buying their munitions from China as long as they can keep is quiet. And China is not above selling munitions to the US (even whilst providing weapons to Iran) as long as the money's good...

* SP = gasoline (95 / 98 is European octane ratings, same as US 87 and 95)
* E85 is 85% ethanol 15% gasoline, they sell that in the US too
* Gazole = diesel (B7 = 7% biodiesel, which is nice because it adds lubricity)
* GPLc is propane
All prices are by liter. E85 is cheaper because petroleum is heavily taxed...

Professor Chinaman just dropped ANOTHER video...
* War is extremely lop-sided: 1mn$ defensive rockets vs. 50k$ drones.
* Iran is a mountain fortress (we know)
* The Strait of Hormuz is only 22km (13 miles) wide, massive chokepoint
* 80% of food in the gulf is imported (through Hormuz)
* The gulf has absolutely no water, without desalination they are absolutely doomed
* Iran is also water stressed, but less so
* Iran is an ethnically heterogeneous country, so US/IL strategy will be to bomb their water supplies then foment ethnic civil war over water, then feed the whole country to the meat-grinder.
* Iran's strategy is to trigger a Shia revolt across the middle east, and ideally a unified muslim nation (overthrow the British/American installed kings)
* Bahrain is Shia majority but Sunni controlled, so likely to see a revolution
* Iran also wants to destroy the gulf state economies in order to destroy the US petrodollar system
* Dubai is already dead, no one will ever want to move there again
* Importance of the oil corridor may draw Europe into this war, which then Russia and China may follow

What you're hearing from me is just raw analysis, and my analysis is that everybody loses. Iranians lose their country, their home, their lives. Americans lose in a war that cannot be won against mountain rednecks.

This is a really dumb take.
The US destroyed the Iranian navy... Of course they did. The US is thousands of times more powerful than the Iranian government ever was, and it would be a total embarrassment if the US wasn't able to do that in a matter of hours.
The threat was never Iran's government, the real threat was that Iran's government would *collapse*. Because once they collapse, there's no one left who can call for peace, and it's just chaotic loose knit bands of militants fighting to the death, with (importantly) long range missiles that can hit anything trying to cross the strait of Hormuz - a very very VERY important trade route.
So the only way to secure global trade and 20% of the world's oil supply is a ground invasion. You can't bomb missiles, they're hidden in the mountains where they're impossible to see from the air. The only way to clear the country of missiles is with a ground invasion, and US invading Iran would be like China invading Appalachia. Same geography, same friendly locals.
The Japanese considered an invasion of the US in WW2, and one Japanese general famously quipped "There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass".
This is a loser's war, plain and simple. There's no winning move here. But none of it has anything to do with whether or not the US can topple the Iranian government.

Oh right, I remember the problem. We still don't know how to pass secrets on blockchains. If we can figure that one out, it will be HUUUUUUGE.
1. I have a secret
2. I encrypt it (somehow) on a smart contract blah blah on a blockchain
3. You want my secret, and you're willing to do whatever the contract requires to get it (pay), so
4. You make a key pair and you submit your public key into the contract with the payment and the contract does <magic> which re-encrypts my secret so that your private key is able to decrypt it.
Every way you try to solve this, the miners/validators/etc can always steal the secret...

I wonder if there's a decent way to auction off files... For example you upload the harddrive encrypted, then announce it on Teh Blorkchain, then 10 blocks later, the hash of that block gives you your code and you have to provide decryption keys for a specific 10% of the files based on that code (to show you're for real), then the rest of the files auction off like NFTs.

Conspiracy theory:
Nuclear weapons don't exist. What was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were super massive air-fuel bombs. Same with all of the nuclear tests.
The big lie about nuclear weapons is perpetuated to create an aura of invincibility around countries who "have them", while also creating an excuse to attack anyone who dares to build cheap reliable power generation. This creates an economy of artificial energy scarcity even though energy is in fact highly abundant.
