So anyway, in my busy type-schedule for the past couple of days, I've thought about a few things
While I do so enjoy the idea of a personal blog that pretty much just deal with my life, I do believe that people would find it incredibly boring and mundane, which, as it turns out, my life is...
I'm not bashing on myself, but my life is pretty routine, nothing really exciting happens, so I think we'll just go with the flow...
Meaning that whatever I might think would be blog worthy, I'm going to include it here.
For instance, I was thinking the other night, cause, well, that's pretty much when I have the most time on my hands, about the fact that which I think the idea of an arc reactor in Iron Man would be a giant leap forward in terms of power generation, to me, that seems highly unlikely, bear with me a moment.
Firstly, we see in the movie (which I've seen more than once obviously) we see our hero Tony Stark building an arc reactor in a cave somewhere presumably in the Middle East, unlikely, but we'll go with it for now
So the first component that we see in this reactor is palladium. Now, if you're anything like me, which I certainly hope that you aren't :p, I've heard of palladium in one other use that wasn't quite so widely accepted... and that would be cold fusion.
Our good friends Fleischman and Pons who back in the 80s apparently discovered cold fusion using an electrolytic cell and some heavy water..
Anyway, back to my issue. So we have the palladium, in some sort of ring configuration and some scraps from missiles that he tore apart for, well, parts.
Now my biggest problem with this miniature arc reactor that it has to apparently power source, I mean, there's nothing that appears to make the thing work, at least not that I can tell. It appears as though towards the end of the build process he used the battery to kick start the thing, but you can't just pull energy out of thin air...
Well, there is zero point energy, but that's another story for another blog...
So here we have this thing, that doesn't use any typically type of fuel for power generation, that is efficient and safe for use pretty much inside a human being, that discharges some sort of plasmic goo into the cavity...
Do you see where I'm going here people?
Which I think it's a novel idea, I think they could have lent themselves to a little real world physics to make it seem believe, to me at least :p
Ok, well, that's pretty much all I have for today..
Till next time
