Yeah, Robert and Holly just have IT. Look at them flirting over an unconscious Scotty. I'm siding with the old school fans on this one.

it's a cute demo, but the popsci articles sure fail to mention that the demo generated at peak around 250 nanowatts per square centimeter. That's 250 billionths of one watt. Not considering charge/discharge effects or the efficiency of a system this large or anything besides sheer area, how large a panel would it take to charge my phone?

My charger is 5V @ 2A, so 10 watts.

250 nW * 10^4 cm2 per m2 * 10^-9 nW per W gives 0.0025 watts per square meter. You'd need 4,000 square meters of panel to charge my phone. Four thousand square meters is about 3/4 the size of an American football field.

For comparison, I can get 10 watts out of a solar panel that's about 30cm by 30cm or one foot by one foot.

Maybe this system isn't optimized, but the authors estimate the maximum available energy density of electricity in air is about 0.05 W/m2, meaning a perfect collector in perfect conditions with no losses and no inefficiencies would still need to be 200 square meters to charge my phone compared to, yknow, a tenth of a square meter of solar panel.

Scientists Made An Artificial "Cloud" That Pulls Electricity From Air.

The secret is tiny holes.

Taking a hint from the magician’s playbook, scientists have devised a way to pull electricity from thin air. A new study out today suggests a method in which any material can offer a steady supply of electricity from the humidity in the air.

All that’s required? A pair of electrodes and a special material engineered to have teeny tiny holes that are less than 100 nanometers in diameter. That’s less than a thousandth of the width of a human hair.

Here’s how it works: The itty-bitty holes allow water molecules to pass through and generate electricity from the buildup of charge carried by the water molecules, according to a new paper published in the journal Advanced Materials.

The process essentially mimics how clouds make the electricity that they release in lightning bolts.

Because humidity lingers in the air perpetually, this electricity harvester could run at any time of day regardless of weather conditions — unlike somewhat unreliable renewable energy technologies such as wind and solar.

“The technology may lead to truly ‘ubiquitous powering’ to electronics,” senior study author Jun Yao, an electrical engineer at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, tells Inverse.

How's that possible? Since when did you start eating spicy food? I told you I'd do it for real next time. ...Don't touch me, or—I'll kill you!

...Did I just get hit with a stealth pun from a book I first read thirty-seven years ago?

[speargpants]

Alright now i've finished Azran Legacy, so i feel like i can finally make a side blog for Layton stuff so i can post about it without feeling like im bothering people on my main one lmao Just gonna dump all my recent art here (warning for spoilers for Unwound Future and Miracle Mask sort of)

And then this Clive i drew after having watched someone play through Unwound Future and realizing Clive is so much worse of a person than what i remembered from playing it when i was younger lmao + old art of him i made from around 5 or 6 years ago, you can probably still find it on the Layton amino somewhere lol

I'm glad i finally played through the prequel trilogy, because for some reason i just never got around to that back when i was really into the series, AND despite having owned a copy of Miracle Mask for like 3 years since i found it at a con for very cheap

no cuz like the pure yearning and heartache on loki’s face when mobius said ‘it’s a really cool name’ is still driving me crazy every time im reminded of it, like that’s the face of someone coming to a realization of just how much he could want and just how much he could love this person in front of him, it’s loki realizing that he would love mobius anywhere anywhen even if mobius doesn’t know him, even if mobius doesn’t even exist yet oh they were INSAAAANE for this

Jim. Why the hell is that so cute. What the heck.

[jesse-pinko]

Every other aspect of Jesse’s trauma makes me go oh no poor blorbo :( but his relationship w his parents and thinking ab it in the context of the series aftermath actually makes me unwell… they never even knew him they only ever saw the worst in him and now they’ve had that validated by his own actions and they’ll never know how sorry he is and that he was a good kid at heart and they didn’t imagine it and they still love him but how can they have loved him if they never even knew him and only ever saw the worst in him *flatlines*

hai do you think julie powers and diane nguyen would get along! im really curious about your opinion:3

Hi!! Honestly? I think they would!

I have a headcanon that everybody ends up getting along with Julie somehow. She may not be nice about it, but she always says what people need to listen.

Diane would have mixed feelings about her, but would always come back to Second Cup.
