Interesting Science News
Ok, so one of the forums that I frequent quite often (and for those of you considering a computer build or have a computer issue should peruse), OCN, I found the following two stories:Waterless Washing Machine
University of Leeds Researchers Develop Waterless Washer
Now, I just have one question about that WHOLE story... How do the smells come out? Now, I realize this sort of topic may be taboo, but if one has bad sweat stains/B.O. (and living in Louisiana, how does not have a somewhat offensive odor of B.O. after spending 5 minutes outside?), how does this come out!? Tiny plastic pellets? Isn't this somewhat synonymous to paintball, except minus the paint?! I wonder if we'll just be trading one resource (water) for using another (plastic). Still an interesting concept - wonder when we'll be able to pick one up at Sear's...
NASA Solar Probe
Nasa Proposes Sending Solar Probe, Sends Out Request for American Ice Production
Ok, now... Let me get this straight... The corona of the sun is something like a couple thousand C, right? And it's only going to enter part of the corona. Doesn't this still need to resist more than 1500C? And how exactly do we design something to resist the radiation WITH the heat? I can see it now...
{Kirk}: Scotty, I need more power!
{Scotty}: I'm giving it all she's got, Captain, but the ice is melted!!
How exactly do the arrays continue to transmit data, also? Seems to me that there's too many questions... Besides, how do we keep the ice frozen when we blast it off from Florida?
