  • @Jim Carver - ty - will be waiting!
    by dyan 5/4/2011 6:55:33 PM

  • @dean thank you, another mystery solved. :-)
    by Nancy 5/4/2011 6:57:55 PM

  • @Nancy That's part of what you have to have to sell power back, along with safety interlocks.
    by Jim Carver 5/4/2011 6:59:02 PM

  • normal circuits... V= voltage, I=current, R=resistance.. so.. V=IR.... so I want a power system where R=1
    by dean 5/4/2011 7:03:07 PM

  • @dean Ohm's law doesn't always hold though Dean and really shouldn't be a law at all. But they're working on high temp R=0

  • Need cold fusion and hot super resistivity.
    by Jim Carver 5/4/2011 7:05:47 PM

  • conductance sorry

  • the good ole sterling engine

    by dean 5/4/2011 7:09:06 PM

  • @dean You know the resistivity of air is about 3 million volts per meter, so they're limited to tranmission voltage--or they would get corona discharge and that's really inefficient.

  • I'd like to see some high tech state of the art things on power
    by dean 5/4/2011 7:10:16 PM

  • Does anyone know what time the sun rises in Japan?
    by estacion 5/4/2011 7:11:44 PM

  • @dean Good ole fashion R & D has become a passing fad :( That's why the brother had a hard time. He's been working on this for about 10 years.
    by Jim Carver 5/4/2011 7:12:46 PM

  • that's the kind of projects I like to see succeeed
    by dean 5/4/2011 7:13:10 PM

  • @estacion Seems to be around 7 local time.
    by Jim Carver 5/4/2011 7:13:36 PM

  • TBS/JNN webcam is showing sunrise at this moment !!!

  • by estacion 5/4/2011 7:14:50 PM

  • Sunrise at 4:15 am?
    by Markfm 5/4/2011 7:15:42 PM

  • @dean The nice thing about it is the charge-recharged frequency is really good. We have it on an occillator for testing and it just runs along. Several million cycles so far and it still has 82% of original capacity.
    by Jim Carver 5/4/2011 7:16:27 PM

  • @estacion It's those work lights they left on last night.
    by radioguy 5/4/2011 7:16:55 PM

  • @Markfm No around 0700 JST, the days are getting longer so..it might be earlier now.
    by Jim Carver 5/4/2011 7:17:31 PM

  • Looks like they are at + 13 compared to EST: www.world-time-zones.org
    by Markfm 5/4/2011 7:19:41 PM

  • Yeah, I think they are kidding us with this webcam. @radioguy: no it's clearly a foggy sunrise right now.
    by estacion 5/4/2011 7:19:55 PM

  • @Markfm I'm -6, although it should be -5 because DST, they are +9 UTC so they are 14 ahead of Central US right now.
    by Jim Carver 5/4/2011 7:20:42 PM

  • Or 13 ahead of East coast, so it's only 4:21 there -- no way sunrise that early.
    by Markfm 5/4/2011 7:21:24 PM

  • England goes on DST now, so does that mean London is +1 UTC right now?
    by Jim Carver 5/4/2011 7:22:02 PM

  • It's 4:20 AM Japan Local Time. Look at webcam

  • It's 4:22 ther now.
    by Jim Carver 5/4/2011 7:22:26 PM

  • going to errands.. be back
    by dean 5/4/2011 7:23:03 PM

  • What we're seeing there is the effect of that last shot at 19:01 still having lingering dusk.
    by radioguy 5/4/2011 7:23:12 PM

  • k dean, pedal for power :)
    by Jim Carver 5/4/2011 7:23:32 PM

  • though the little dot and dash of glow are still visible

  • Oops, @radioguy: I'm referring to the
    TBS/JNN LIVE cam
    check the link www.youtube.com
    by estacion 5/4/2011 7:26:56 PM

  • Do you guys see what I'm getting at with the time. If London goes on DST then is GMT 0, and UTC +1 for London?
    by Jim Carver 5/4/2011 7:28:05 PM

  • At work I don't get anything showing on the video, but I do hear the birds tweeting merrily away.
    by Markfm 5/4/2011 7:30:48 PM

  • @Jim Carver: Yes, If United Kingdom is implementing DST its local time is UTC+1
    now
    by estacion 5/4/2011 7:35:00 PM

  • @estacion Thanks. It makes it confusing because that's the time standard region. But I guess Greenwich Mean Time is not affected.

  • In Japan, radiation levels in the seawater near the Fukushima plant continue to rise. They're now more than 3.5 thousand times higher than normal. Radioactive material has also been detected in soil at the facility. RT talks to Professor Christopher Busby, of the European Committee on Radiation Risks. --unverified twitter
