Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@resonant_theories says : @StarTalk ice ice baby..?🤦‍♂>> <<@kcgunesq says : So all of the people and research on the ship has to submerge?>> <<@kcgunesq says : The world can build about 1,500 commercial sized ships a year. Maybe double that for 100ft yachts. So 10 million may be take a while.>> <<@Nyan4Eon says : So many hexagons is bs science startups lol>> <<@Iknowyouarewatchingme says : Of course it looks like that>> <<@Aikisbest says : You know CNN knows it is complete bullshit, since they start by covering their bases with "according to...">> <<@Aikisbest says : I stopped believing in this product the moment I realized that their leading "argument" was how the "inventor" is young. (I never believed in the product, but you know what I mean.)>> <<@JimmyTurbo-1215 says : It would have all the effect of putting an ice cube in a swimming pool.>> <<@Ca0815 says : It’s like trying to cool down your apartment by opening the fridge>> <<@canicheenrage says : Might as well make it 6 different submarines assembling to create and then "birth" each ice cube by separating. Make the assembling hold by welding them together by a welding flying drone, and then cut by a laser drone, with a drone carrier nearby. As for energy source, use the photoelectric cells to "cook" wood into coal on a power plant ship that will then burn it for electricity, all of em dumping the excess heat in the water. ( gonna need a wood importing ship too). If you have to make an inefficient system, might as well go one step beyond to show you care.>> <<@Javired100 says : This is a design project. Very basic architecture school idea. This is never meant to be built. it's just a concept.>> <<@arandmorgan says : And where does the heat extracted from the water go? The ocean.>> <<@jackovoltraids5937 says : I heard this was pitched as a lark to make people aware of the fact that we can't "refreeze" the Arctic. You can't remove energy from a closed system.>> <<@Ratciclefan says : The stupid is made of stupid>> <<@SandiSandl says : What the fk do they learn in their schools? Idiocracy is coming, people, brace yourself.>> <<@SandiSandl says : SO... you want to desalt the water, freeze it and then release it into salty water? anyone care to remind me what salt is doing to ice? Anyone? Preferably not from USA, I do not want to hear about flat earth with no ice?>> <<@NoWay1969 says : Climate change is going to solve itself. After 6 or 7 billion people starve to death, the remaining billion or two will relocate to Canada or Alaska or wherever on earth it's still able to sustain human habitation, and, having cut fossil fuel use by 60-80% (by almost everyone dying), the climate will start to fix itself. We could just hand out condoms and save the 6 or 7 billion people, but Jesus and the multinational corporations don't seem to like that approach.>> <<@WhatYesdude says : Climate warriors think ablt EVERY SINGLE POSSSIBLE solution but never adresse the real problem itself, big coorpos>> <<@christophertalbot9488 says : "Arctic" shurely?>> <<@skateboardingjesus4006 says : Solar freakin' ice cubes.>> <<@Cryostriker-au says : Right from the bat... Wouldn't it just be easier to pump water into the container rather that pump ballast to sink/raise it!? 🤣👌>> <<@gwenpincomb4379 says : Don’t want to separate out the salt. You want to freeze lower at lower temps as salt water does. What you want to optimize is ice nucleation and propagation. You want your do this in the season when the artic is already freezing. Then help it remain stabilized at the weak points later in the thawing times.>> <<@MeNanWazaHowitzer says : I remember watching this a year ago and laughing so hard im so happy yt fed it back to me again>> <<@6teeth says : I am just ordinary. One flaw i spot even before it begins is: The solar panels gets wet from saltwater, when the water evaporates salt crystals will form on the panels. Or ?>> <<@fuzzywzhe says : Debunking garbage from the corporate media? wow. that's difficult. Why do people still pay attention to it, at all? Go back to covering BS projects that are actually funded in order to launder black money. That's what solar roadways was about.>> <<@jbug1979 says : 1:16 they took Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" a little too seriously>> <<@Ioganstone says : Why is thunderf00t not SPECIFICALLY saying how much energy it would take to desalinate the water? That is the question.>> <<@calebncontreras-117 says : Hear me out…We knit a giant white sheet and stretch it over the arctic.>> <<@TravisHRF16CC says : Late to the party, but existence on a world with infinite population growth and consumption would sure be simplified if the laws of thermodynamics didn’t apply.>> <<@Daniel-ne5ms says : At this point if I propose setting up a bunch of air conditioners in the North Pole to fend off global warming I will be hailed as the next Bohr.>> <<@Autonomous15 says : Why is an architect trying to do engineering?>> <<@jagolago-bob says : Phil, your iceberg simulation with it's poor stability was pretty bad. The proposed iceberg would float in a stable manner, being 16ft thick and 85ft in diameter. Yes it would sink a lot, as you said, but it would be stable. The rest of your analysis was good. It's a stupid idea. Probably better would be a white or mirrored, floating plastic sheet, with integrated float-bladders, to reflect the sun's heat. It would be cheaper, too, but that would bring a host of other problems with it (storm damage, plastic degradation, effect of snow landing on it, etc.).>> <<@G33KST4R says : On another note, while the subs are submerged... how are the solar panels drawing power? 🤔>> <<@evolutionaryadvantage says : Ice ice babies …..word to your mother>> <<@deaconconnolly8579 says : That is a futurerama joke>> <<@KuDastardly says : I'm kinda surprised the 29 year-old dude hasn't at least thought of making a permenant underwater structure instead. 🤨>> <<@BobPagani says : Here's a question: what do you do with the salt you extract from the water?>> <<@kentarouification says : to be fair it said 82ft wide and only16 deep but your model is far deeper than how its wide. I know it would still sink but the point is it's not going to work anyway>> <<@stevenbaker7894 says : It really is just an idea submitted to meet the requirements of the competition. Blame the media for pushing shit.>> <<@amelliamendel2227 says : Phytoplankton is the Earth's largest carbon sink known to have ever existed in the history of the Earth. Phytoplankton survives off of whale poop. Even if we stopped producing CO2 completely tomorrow the carbon sequestration rate of the Earth is not enough to stop climate change. We need to ban all whaling globally and help whale populations increase or it simply won't be possible to prevent a complete ecological disaster. This data has been out for decades, but whale poop isn't sexy enough for prime time and most importantly, there's no money in it... To transfer this into actual numbers so you can see it: A great whale (and the phytoplankton it supports) sequesters about 33 tons of CO2 on average during its lifetime On average, a mature tree can absorb about 48 pounds of CO2 per year. Over 200 years, a single tree sequesters about 4.8 tons of carbon, 300 about 7.2 tons. In order to replace the carbon sequestation power of the 10 million whales slaughtered by commercial whaling we'd have to plant 18.7 Billion trees. Whale population recovery could start having an ecological impact relatively quickly if their numbers increase because their contribution to nutrient cycling and phytoplankton growth is immediate. In contrast, the full carbon sequestration benefits of newly planted forests take decades that we simply don't have to realize and 'reducing carbon emissions' isn't even a solution it's a reduction in impact maybe at best. Over a span of 20 years, a typical coal-fired power plant would emit a total of approximately 70 million tons of CO2 and would take about 3.18 billion trees or 200k whales. The urgency of enhancing whale populations is clear, attainable, and vital. It represents a natural, swift, and effective method to boost global carbon sequestration capacities, highlighting the necessity for global bans on whaling and concerted conservation efforts.>> <<@slackerman9758 says : The “team” responsible for the project or the “teen”. Teen makes more sense.>> <<@afterdinnercreations936 says : they're distractions to take away from the real-problem with climate-change.>> <<@TerribleFire says : What the world needs to do is stop listening to hype and dreams and start listening to physics>> <<@lono7732 says : With this philosophy, wouldn't it be a better idea to cloud-seed to create clouds, so sun doesn't hit the ice>> <<@Hellea163 says : Im not an engineer but is the amount of energie needed to freeze this water the same amount you need to melt them? so why we just stopping awrming up the climate XD seems rly stupid to me. there are so many proofs that you dont need to be smart to get an degree XD>> <<@OgOssman says : I think you got the dimensions wrong, it was wider than it was thick. Your scale model is thicker than it is wide. They should resemble pucks, No?>> <<@TheArthurfonzarelli says : I'm likely missing something here and as a new subscriber love watching you crap on Elon Musky. Isn't the ice model you made reversing what they proposed? 82 feet wide by 16 feet thick? 5 and 1/8s wider than tall? Thanks!>> <<@stickman3214 says : SOLAR FREAKIN' ICE WAYS??!?>> <<@lancemillward1912 says : Sun umbrellas over the arctic...job done>> <<@kerryscott1508 says : In the far far future. This will be needed. The polar ice caps will melt. They were not always there.>>
