I dunno Jed, But I think a sloping tunnel dug from Los Angeles to Pasadena bypassing JPL would alleviate the smog problem (a similar vent with fans was proposed when I lived there in 1954 before they did away with back-yard incinerators) and rival the Australian 200 Megawatt 3800 Ft. "Solar

Actually, any car will do, but a hybrid is particularly well-suited to this application. See: http://www.invertersrus.com/priusinverter.html If I did not already have an emergency 3 kW generator I would get one of these gadgets. I am thinking of getting the 75 W version, that plugs into the

Hi, Since the ISS isn't doing a great deal of good science where it is, why not use it to go to Mars? Since it's already in Earth orbit, it should cut down on the cost considerably. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://users.bigpond.net.au/rvanspaa/ Competition provides the motivation,

I suggest if you want to power serious items that you attach the DC-AC inverter directly to the 12 V battery. Remember, for a 100 W load at 110 V, the current at 12 V will be about 10 A, which is about the limit of most wiring at an outlet in a car. In any case, you need to know the wiring

Firstly the ISS is the dry dock not the ship. It is actually doing quite a lot of quiet science; learning to live in space *was* the original objective. The ISS would not survive a trip to Mars. It would not survive the required acceleration, and it would not carry enough supplys to make the
