Solar Panels Drain the Sun’s Energy, Experts Say

[Revoltingest]

So we set up enough solar panels to reduce the sun enough to counterbalance greenhouse gas emissions.
Where is my Nobel? Obama got one and all he did was beat the successors to GWB.

You deserve one!
Hell, Gore got one & lost to everyone.

 

[Brickjectivity]

GWB means "Greenhouse Within Barracks" and is a plant to mobilize the US army to fight against the Carbon Emissions. The carbon emissions don't have a chance!

Hey folk. Let's stay away from politics except to talk about using all the hot air blowing from politicians as a power source to reduce our dependence on imported oil.

I actually thought this was a parody thread from the title and where the thread was placed, so either that research facility in Wyoming is very good at trolling or their data was created by someone trolling them.
Doesn't simple math refute their argument?

Isn't this the same thing as claiming a refrigerator magnet can be aimed at a 747 jet from 87 miles away and over time, will slowly pull the jet towards the magnet until it reaches it?
That is if the magnet is anchored to something that weights more than the jet, obviously.

BTW, some very funny posts here

Kinda, but the pull from refrigerator magnets are only 5/8 as strong as a solar panel, and a 747 is moving, which negates the effect another 7/16 in relation.

I always thought refrigerator magnets were a scheme by the junk food industry to draw cowboys with those large belt buckles towards the fridge. Bad plan, though, because most of us don't wear those things.

You left out 1/2 of the human race

Right. I don't think any of this stuff would be very efficient unless we had at least 99% participation.

But back to the sun. I've always figured there must be some way we can harness the energy from rainbows. Just think ... all that color and beauty going to waste. Maybe if I write a letter to those guys in Wyoming, they'll look into it for me.

Isn't there something out there already along these lines? The Rainbow Coal Ignition party?

 

[Quagmire]

Best science thread ever. :yes:

Never heard of it. Are they based in Wyoming? If you have their address or contact information, can you forward it to me?

 

[Brickjectivity]

There's also Oming Corp. I've no idea why anyone would call themselves Oming, but that is what they're called. So don't ask me Wyoming.

(This is a symptom of engineer syndrome.)

Engineers are way too mechanical in their reasoning...probably stems from their constant work with machinery. After all,..."Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you"

 

[Vinayaka]

You'd be mechanical too, if all you did was driver a train on those narrow tracks. No wonder they get tired.

Isn't it true if you go to the other side of the world, gravity reverses?
Cant we exploit that for free energy somehow?

I am no scientist so i can only give the laymens example.
drill a hole through the earth, attach a weight to a piston and drop it in.
Wont the piston drop all the way down and then when it reaches the other side of the planet, the reversed gravity will cause it to drop back to the first side of the earth.
And it will continue to go back and forth on its own.
That piston can be hooked to a gear that hooks to a generator.
Unlimited free energy, No?

 

[Vinayaka]

Makes sense to me, Kashmir. Something like that rubber ball that had 101% bounce.

Wait, isn't that how the world works anyway?

 

[Vinayaka]

Cartesian wells, volcanoes, and oil gushers are proof. Gravity escapes from one side to the other and pushes up, not down. All we need to do is harness it.

 

[kashmir]

No, because we are forced to pay for energy, it should be free.

My perpetual motion machine is a total chick magnet.
And these are nice girls. They don't even want to do anything I don't like.
