Pumped storage is popular in the mountainous parts of Germany. They have "6,806 MW" of pumped storage capacity: https://www.hydropower.org/country-profiles/germany That doesn't tell you much though, does it? 6,806 MW for how long? A half hour? One day? In Belgium they are talking about building

Under the hood of a CODA electric. It lights up and comes on but will not go. Does anyone know what is what? http://www.angelfire.com/scifi2/zpt/temp/car.jpg Frank Znidarsic

One of the systems mentioned in Hagelstein's 2015 paper (http://www.currentscience.ac.in/Volumes/108/04/0601.pdf) is the Vysotskii system where what appears to be a coherent collapse of cavitaion bubbles causes a shock wave to travel through a metal plate and generate a very sharp pulse of

Thanks mixent. There is a battery connection under the car through a trapdoor. We will look at that. The orange connector top left is the one to battery. We will pull it and measure the voltage. The meter in the car say 30%. I believe that reading comes off of the charger in the trunk.

Nigel With water, there is the phenomenon of “proton hopping” even without cavitation. The Hagelstein paper you cite proposes a neutron analog of electron hopping in semiconductors. This means that there are two natural phenomena on which to model neutron hopping. Protons hop from one

I read the hole-in-water one. All BS, and stupid. To get a “head” the hole has to be not just empty when the seawater enters, it has to have a rigid shape. But when empty, and 100 feet deep, the upward pressure on the bottom will be 50 psi, or mega-tons total (wild guess – somebody could waste
