It's not that I find this topic interesting and related, but generally I can't reuse the same thread in my bibliographies assignment, and I rather have the information separately to explain two different things.
Also, for the skyhook thing wouldn't there need to be a plane overhead or something?

And a I a little lost, is this the same skyhook concept from batman the dark knight or are they completely different things?

With apologies,

nonono, the skyhooks we are discussing are carried by stealthy antigravity craft, some unmanned. I've already disclosed too much. Can say no more.

I´m happy you did not disclose the secret behind the WROM, and Hydroxyl - acid, as mentioned in post #100. The Wlan cable now is in commercial use so we can elaborate on that freely.
But be careful, when discussing confidential issues like OSI layers 8 and 9, that can lead to ID-Ten-T errors!
Stay alerted!

ty, but is it Batman or isn't it?

[D.I.M.1]

Good news finally, I have an adviser, and I have redefined my goals.
New questions:
What electrical systems are found on a boat not the motor but other things like desalinator, radar, radio etc.?

[hoytedow]

electric blue bikinis, gps, sonar, flashlights, iperbs, pfd flashers; the list goes on and on and...

[ancient kayaker]

Nav lights would be nice ...

[D.I.M.1]

Okay yes to the gps, sonars,flashlights,Nav lights
But please un-abbreviate iperbs, pfd flashers
And no to the electric blue bikinis, sorry gotta market to the general population.

iperb is a distress beacon that activates on contact with seawater. pfd stands for personal flotation device(lifejacket).

[hoytedow]

EPIRBs (emergency position-indicating radio beacons) signal maritime distress. not iperb. I screwed up the abbreviation.

[hoytedow]

And don't forget about the coffee-maker.

[D.I.M.1]

Okay so i got the coffee-maker, the desalinator, the nav lights, GPS, Radio, Sonar, EPIRBs, the air-conditioning (if power allows), the refrigerator, and the TV. (did I miss anything?)

Also, not to be offensive, but how can I power a PFD flasher if the power source is located on the boat?

[Knut Sand]

Library..

A boat doesn't have to be big, any boat will do,as long as it got a library and a fireplace..


And you can use the the fireplace to drive a boiler (which in turn drives a steam engine) or just use the temperature difference (from the pipe walls/ sea temp) to run a stirling engine, haven't found anything about the ratio/ efficiency of those engines...yet....

[D.I.M.1]

Come on be serious. Anyway, how would you fuel the fire or sustain it to produce that heat? Coal? Gasoline? Defeats the point, no. Biofuels? the cost it takes to produce them isn't really worth it.

This may come as a shock to you, but pfd flashers are powered by little things which were invented centuries ago. They are called batteries. Europeans I believe may have another name for them. Piles? No, that is another name for hemorrhoids, which will also make you feel as though you are "lit up". The whole point is the pfd flashers will work even if the boat itself is 1000 fathoms below your feet, when you would need them the most.

[D.I.M.1]

No, that's not what I was implying how can I use solar power to power PFD flashers if their batteries are already charged, it's not like they're used when the boat is sinking. Maybe it was the lack of clarity of my question, but I need systems that actively need power while the boat is functioning.
