Title: Maybe self-cooling keyboards are in our future
Post by: noisyturtle on Thu, 14 February 2013, 16:38:53: These LED's actually run at 230% efficiency and effectively cool the air around them. Would be nice for those hot sweaty nights of coding at 4am.

If you shoot enough missiles at a volcano, it erupts,, the energy in the amount of missiles you used would be FAR less than the erupting volcano produces...

SAME stuff....

Problem is,, how do we tame the volcano, and absorb that' explosive energy without some sort of superhero absorber type character.

Obviously some sort of radioactive lizard would be in play, with like chainsaw arms. Or a monkey.

whut? It's not the same stuff at all. Exoergic vs. Endoergic. The volcano and the ultra-efficient LED are opposites.

depends on "perspective"

Is the Earth not an environment and as a container for power, that of which can be "drawn from"

as in, if the volcano was the "device" and "not part" of the "earth"...

Because,, the led could be said to be a piece of the earth, and would fit "your" definition

Post by: quadibloc on Mon, 18 February 2013, 11:06:48: Converting heat directly into energy, as opposed to deriving energy from the flow of heat to a cooler place, violates the laws of thermodynamics. This can't be correct.

What sorcery is this.
