What to do with excess energy production during wind overproduction

In areas with mainly cooling loads, wind and solar overproduction can
be used to cool water in advance for air conditioning.

Water powered air conditioning?! Water isn\'t cold enough.

Air conditioning requires a lot of energy for moving heat from indoor
20 C to outdoor 30 C.

However, if the indoor heat is dumped into 0 to +20 C water, very
little energy is needed.

The specific heat for water is 4 kJ/kg/K, thus 80 kJ/kg can be dumped
when the water is warmed from 0 to +20 C.

If excess wind production is used to make ice, 330 kJ(kg can be dumped
while going from 0 C ice to 0 C water. If the water is then allowed to
warm to +20 C, a total of 410 kJ can be dumped. Assume a 1000 liter
ice(water tank that is 410 MJ that is over 100 kWh.

Using only water, 0 C to +20 C is still about 20 kWh.

The water sounds good, but the transport of ice could be a problem.

What is the problem with ice ? People make ice cubes for their whisky
in the fridge.

For an automated system two tanks are required, one smaller for ice
and a slightly larger for ice. On top of the ice tank install a
compressor which during cheap electricity makes ice cubes or thin ice
sheets, dropping into the ice tank.A small low power pump takes the
molten water from the bottom of the ice tank and pumps it to the water
tank to be processed the next night.

If no ice is used and the water temperature is kept above +4 C, a
single water tank should be sufficient, since the water can be kept in
layers.

Due to lack of quoting, I\'m not sure what this is about.  But the ones I can think of I mentioned recently were bulk caps in  computer power supplies.  Maybe for a ZX spectrum 50pF might work.

Why do people seperate the number from the units?  You wrote 50 pF, I wrote 50pF.

Let\'s look at some electrolytics in a recent supply. I don\'t see a \"p\" there.
I\'m seeing another letter. And that letter would be relatively

The financial industry is full of people who are very keen on, if not
making money, certainly transferring it from someone else\'s pockets into
theirs.
Given access to loads of other peoples money, their attitude is \'lets

Sometimes they aren\'t the only cheats in the game though.

Let\'s have a poll of how high  the Commander\'s IQ is. I\'ll push at 75.

 145 actually.

That\'s a blatant lie on so many counts. Your behaviour is also more
akin to a 10 year old vying for attention.

There are some with 145 that behave like that.

When you use LTSpice and post here your netlist to predict the outcome
to your diode in series with a transformer issue then I will accept
your IQ may be over 100.

Until then 75 sounds a more accurate appraisal.

No one with 75 can manage an honors degree in physics. .

No one with an \"honors degree in physics\" would ever ask some of the
questions he\'s asked.

Mr Hucker would probably have spelled \"honor\" like that in any
unsubstantiated claim of his.

about individuals. Most of us live near the middle of our normal
distributions.

I wasn\'t making assumptions about individuals. I was simply taking
statistics.

I know women who can handle power tools, and guys who can\'t. Guys who
knit and women who program FPGAs.

Again your missing the point. Less guys knit than women and more men
program FPGAs. I\'m wonder if relying upon anecdotes rather than hard
stats is intentional?

One reason why Western countries are so successful is that we are
willing to use 100% of our talent pool, and not 50% like some
countries that won\'t educate or employ women. The two World Wars
pulled women out of kitchens into factories and trucks and airplanes.
The secret to success: marry a woman who has a good job.

And to longevity. Yet women who stay single live longer!

Only by a couple of years at most tho.

People who use female-derived insults don\'t like women. I

Does that mean you don\'t respect women\'s failings?

I like gutsy people, people who have ideas and take risks,
male and
female but especially female, because they are more fun to
celibrate
with. People who take risks often fail... or they are holding
back.

I was watching a stupid movie that involved some gambling at

If you bet on red or white, there is a 50:50 apparent risk,
but there
is a house cut slot that reduces the probable return below
unity.

If you design a lot of things, and half are commercial
failures (about
what mine are) you lose your stake half the time, but the
others pay
off 10:1, or sometimes 1000:1.


Perceived insults and facts overlap. Monthly grouchiness is
one example.

I never noticed that, but you prefer to be grouchy and downer
all the
time.

You\'ve never had a female boss, or if you had only dreamt of
getting
into her knickers.

Don\'t be dumb and coarse. I\'ve had three lady bosses and only got
physically close to one, once, before she was my boss.

I\'ve worked for a few. My experiences are varied with one who at
times
was a tyrant.

I now work for my younger daughter. She runs the businness and I
doodle schematics.

Sounds a nice arrangement.

Women and men have different attributes, some very obvious,
others where
we\'re obliged to be in denial that the differences might exist.

I also like women. Occasionally even love them.


So many guys want women and don\'t like them.

In any class of people, the normal distribution is enormous, so
one
can\'t stereotype abilities beyond obvious things like the
ability to
bear children.

Women seem keen to stereotype men.

Irony alert!

When it comes to risk, stereotypes
abound for good reason. Similarly some forms of aggression but
not all.

Stereotypes are usually the result of tribalism, not anything
factual.
That\'s bullshit with mechanical stuff.

That\'s why people will fight and riot over silly stuff like \"our\"
sports teams, who are really just jocks for hire.

Emotion most always beats thinking.



There is a tendency for guys to do electronic design. I\'ve only
met a
few serious female EEs, but they are awesome. I don\'t know if the
statistics there are genetic; maybe so.

I have yet to meet one. I have met a number competent female
software
and mechanical design engineers.

I\'ve put it down to the ability to visualise things that aren\'t
visual,
which perhaps ties into spacial awareness. But anyone
highlighting these
sorts of differences is of course a misogynist. On the other hand
we
could just accept the differences on a broader, more general
scale.

I know guys who don\'t know which end of a screwdriver to grab. One
has
a PhD in Engineering Mechanics.


Hmm, I think you\'re missing the point. There are both men and women
who
aren\'t competent at anything. But in order to excel in a trade the
subject needs to come naturally with all the natural attributes. I
would
suggest that more men have the attributes required for electronic
design
than women, in much the same way women are more likely to enter a
profession like medicine and do well.


Of course. But knowing a person\'s gender does not tell you anything
but some probabilities.

Gender is statistically predictable in many professions. I don\'t see
why
you think otherwise.

I was not \"missing the point.\"

Then I can only presume you are in denial that there are both poor
male
and female drivers yet only men will only ever be F1 Champions.

Larry Summers was trashed for musing that many measurable things have
a wider normal distribution among males than females, which extends
the extreme wings on both ends. Males have more geniuses and more
idiots.

That, which seems to be true, is still no excuse to make assumptions
about individuals. Most of us live near the middle of our normal
distributions.

I know women who can handle power tools, and guys who can\'t. Guys who
knit and women who program FPGAs.

One reason why Western countries are so successful is that we are

We have never done that and still don\'t, particularly with women.

and not 50% like some
countries that won\'t educate or employ women.
There are very few like that anymore. Really just the Taliban in
Afghanistan now.

And the Middle East in general.

Not true of education.

> Saudi primarily comes to mind.

Not true of education.

Even Japan has company policies regarding women working though I accept
they may have changed in more recent times.

And hasnt been true of education for centurys.

The two World Wars
pulled women out of kitchens into factories and trucks and airplanes.
But few continued in those areas after the war had ended.

Let\'s have a poll of how high the Commander\'s IQ is. I\'ll push at
75.

145 actually.

That\'s a blatant lie on so many counts. Your behaviour is also more
akin to a 10 year old vying for attention.
There are some with 145 that behave like that.

When you use LTSpice and post here your netlist to predict the outcome
to your diode in series with a transformer issue then I will accept
your IQ may be over 100.

Until then 75 sounds a more accurate appraisal.
No one with 75 can manage an honors degree in physics. .

No one with an \"honors degree in physics\" would ever ask some of the
questions he\'s asked.

Bullshit. Plenty of those involved in theoreticall physics would.

Mr Hucker would probably have spelled \"honor\" like that in any
unsubstantiated claim of his.

Trivial to check if that certificate he posted the photo of is a fake or
not.

Should be possible, just pick a wavelength humans don\'t absorb, then
make the equivalent of a microwave link like they do for
communications, but fucking powerful.

Since wind and solar power are free, a few per cent transmission
efficiency should be fine.

ROFLMAO!

Coal and oil and gas are free too.
The cost is in extracting them and turning them into electricity.

and the conversion efficiency of solar photovoltaic panels converting
photons to electrons is only about 20%....

And it used to be closer to 10%. So what? There are higher efficiency multilayer cells, but they are much more expensnive.

Sure, but the loosened rules werent the reason that bank imploded.

They went bust because they were stupid enough to invest
their assets in long term bonds which imploded in value when
the Fed increased the interest rates. The Fed was always
going to do that sometime. They fucked up and got to wear the
consequences of having fucked up so spectacularly.
