Maybe a smaller system could be done for your car. It’d draw power from the alternator to break hydrogen into a tank, once that tank’s pressurised enough with hydrogen, when you press the gas, hydrogen could be released and sent to the engine’s cylinders (instead of Gasoline, or with Gasoline), helping you save gas.
Another way would you could use the hydrogen would be using a hydrogen fuel cell in the car, using the hydrogen and chemical reactions to produce electricity to charge another batery, and have electric engines on the wheels, when the bateries are charged enough, the Internal Combustion Engine rests and the other engines take over.
Now, if this thing succeeded, I wonder how fast we’d run out of water, we don’t have enough fresh water as it is in the world, but you could probably save up to 30% gas (pulling number out of my ass)
I’ve been trying Seeqpod (and learning from it’s UI), and I must say it’s a very nice service, specially for creating playlists in no time. Let’s hope we’ll have similar functionality in MyBloop.com during the following months to make playlist creation way faster.
Here’s a Smashing Pumpkins playlist I put together in less than 2 minutes (including sign up time)
I recently requested an upgrade on one of our dedicated server’s uplink speed, we only had a 10Mbps Uplink, we requested an upgrade to 100Mbps to serve a lot more.
How do you verify the upgrade has been done correctly?
As root, issue the following comand:
# mii-tool
eth0: negotiated 10baseT-FD, link ok
If it doesn’t work (for debian or ubuntu), make sure you have installed the net-tools package (The NET-3 networking toolkit)
In short, it’s a twitter clone, a time waster, with a little more thought into it. Is it more complex? Maybe not, sometimes the right added functionality makes life easier for people.
Why you should try it?
I tried Jaiku, Pwnce, FriendFeed and Twitter, and stayed with Twitter. I’m actually proud to say that I’ve sent 6,801 Twitts that have landed me 390 twitter followers, and this is probably the hardest thing about switching from Twitter to another competitor, as good as it may be.
But from last week I’ve been hearing about Plurk, and today after some good web-reputable friends joined I decided to give it a try (see the power of web-prestige?), before they joined I just thought… “another twitter competitor”.
The added functionality might make things better, it’s probably the evolution of micro-blogging happening, and twitter needs better competition in order to get better.
