Thank you for pointing that out! I can see how the focus may have seemed a bit more on hydrogen fuel cell technology rather than internal combustion hydrogen engines. To clarify, this video was meant to highlight the hydrogen-powered V8 internal combustion engine, which uses hydrogen as a fuel source but functions differently from fuel cells. Internal combustion hydrogen engines burn hydrogen in a similar way that gasoline is burned in traditional engines, producing water vapor instead of harmful emissions. However, I also mentioned hydrogen fuel cell technology, which is another way to use hydrogen by converting it into electricity to power electric motors, often confusing since both approaches are discussed in the hydrogen vehicle space.

Hey @lawrenceemke1866, thx for the reply. I'm rooting for hydrogen to succeed, and here’s why: 💧⚡ Hydrogen is abundant. Currently, most hydrogen is produced through natural gas reforming, which, while not ideal for a 100% "clean energy" future, is a reliable and proven source. But green hydrogen, created via electrolysis using wind and solar, is being developed as a sustainable alternative. You’re right-there isn’t yet large-scale infrastructure to produce and distribute hydrogen, but major players like Shell, BP, and TotalEnergies ⛽ are investing heavily in hydrogen, especially green hydrogen. In early 2023, Toyota's CEO Akio Toyoda announced he would step down and transition to chairman. Some say it was due to falling behind in the EV race, but it wasn’t exactly being fired?? 🤷‍♂️ Anyway..it’s important to note that every energy source has its challenges-from child labor for battery materials 🛠️, to electric grid strain, and battery disposal issues. 🔋♻️ I believe the free market should decide. When the infrastructure is there, adoption will follow. I have EV friends who plan trips based on charging stations and then hope for a working charger, deal with wait times, or face battery issues in cold weather ❄️. No solution is perfect, but progress comes through constant innovation-after all, we wouldn’t even have electricity today without it. 💡🚗 Interestingly, Musk made an unexpected announcement that Tesla may start exploring hydrogen technology for future vehicles. So Who knows...so much innovation I think it's great!

It's amazing how far we've come from those early solar calculators in cereal boxes, cost wise that would be about $450 to $500 today...crazy LOL!

Exactly! They use special materials that absorb low-intensity light (even from lamps or screens), turning it into electricity-basically, if there’s light, there’s power...making it even cooler! 🤯

Wrist watch and tv remote is a good place for me...add a find my remote to it as well...🤣

I Agree! Right now, solar tech is better for keeping small gadgets going, but the exciting part is how fast it's improving-who knows, in a few years we might be seeing tiny solar assisted vehicles...prob dropping off a pizza or something.

No...no money here 😢just sharing info..😃🤩

There's talk to put them in fast food to lower cost...idk

😢 I really hope you are wrong, but understand why you say that.

Thanks @lucyku949! Trying my best 🤓

Hey Doc thx for the question. This is mainly sourced from Archaeology magazine by Thomas Levey. I'll start adding the articles in the description moving forward to help save time for those interested.

@@NotSoTechie-News Yeah, id specifically like to see any info that shows that climate change was a majority factor in societal collapse.

​@@meathooksmcgee662 I think we need to talk about the difference between the kind of climate change that happened back then and what we're dealing with today. It makes sense that natural shifts in weather patterns, like changes in rainfall, would have had a big impact on those ancient civilizations. But connecting that directly to the kind of climate change we're discussing now-like CO2 emissions from human activity-doesn’t really add up for me. If, for example, it started raining more or less in a certain area back then, it was likely due to natural causes, not something humans did. So, it’s hard for me to see how we can link their situation to the modern concept of climate change, especially when there's still a lot of debate about its impact and how it's being presented. While we’ve spent something like $300 million on research into climate change, I think we still need to focus on improving the environment in practical, reasonable ways. I also remember reading a study that showed how volcanoes in the past produced more CO2 than we’re experiencing today, and yet the planet survived. Unfortunately, the dinosaurs didn’t...well that would be another debate as I wouldn't want to compete against them...lol. Thx

@@NotSoTechie-News Perhaps there should be a intellectual honesty policy... Something like; if it would take a three paragraph explanation I. The comments section then there should be 10 seconds of explanation per paragraph in the actual video. But then again, I don't pray on ignorance to push any agenda. Maybe I oughta leave it to the pros.

@@meathooksmcgee662 Thx for taking the time to respond. I don't believe in pushing agendas either. If you watch my other videos you can see I question the extreme measures like blocking the sun or spending billions to shore glaciers without knowing what are the consequences for those actions in the name of climate change. I think the wording climate in reference to 1177bc is assuming it means current terminology. I'll make sure this won't happen, as that is not my goal. I'm trying to share what's out there and ask we take an impartial look at what's going on. I really love science/tech and just trying to share while looking for truth in these topics. I'm working on one to increase awareness around new science & food while being neutral to the facts I find in the process...that should be the scientific way. Have a great day.

Hey Aaron I appreciate the feedback. I think you're misconstruing the intention behind the breakdown of the book. A lot of people have very strong feelings about climate change potentially destroying humanity. Back then I don't think people thought about global impact etc...so their "climate change" would have been changes to something like water supply thus affecting their resources at the local level. Hope that makes sense and working to improve some really interesting videos. Thx

In the book the Psychology of Money, it discusses how no two economic events like a crash have been the same, nor will they. Conditions or variables change, I hope we can work together to avoid such a catastrophic outlook. "The Future Is Bright"-PBD

Hi @andrewhodgson9750..No! Absolutely not...societies are evolving and changing, but when it comes to basic needs we as a society are very fortunate to have clean water, food & shelter.

No, but if things go bad now, 90% of people will die in a few months because they don't have basic survival skills all our ancients had.

@@dugclrk 90%...seems really high. I admit we would definitely have an adjustment period filled with chaos...hopefully it won't be like Mad Max.

😳

Where can I invest @Daryloster..lol...love the idea. How would you feel if you could combine with 3d home printing techniques. Fast, strong & less materials hypothetically. I also wonder how the lower mass would potentially affect the overall building composition...🤓

@NotSoTechie-News while 3d printing is great for one-off designs, it has many limitations for construction. Insulation is not very good. I believe tilt-up insulated concrete panels are better for most construction. And I don't know much about how this (or 3d printing) would help or hurt the use of concrete capacitor tech - only guesses

@@DarylOster thanks for the response! I believe we would need a structural engineer & those who play with this tech to come up with some real world test to see if the battery concept is viable in your original concept along with all the other concerns others have raised.

That would be amazing if we could repurpose somehow.

@@NotSoTechie-News I really wish people with the knowledge of technology would take a harder look at this. I personally think tesla was redicoving old technology that was destroyed and also kept from being made public. Some of those buildings are 1000s of years old and still standing. There is something there I just dont know what.

People that think all of those complex metal spires oriented with very specific repeating geometries on the rooftops were just there for decoration do not understand anything about electromagnetic fields or antennae.

Hey @douglasmcleod7481 this might be one to dive deeper on or try for an interview. Thanks for the feedback!

@PacoOtis maybe...I would have never though you could build a home w/a cement 3d printer...but it's being done. I just love all the new possibilities that we'll have to wait and see what the true cost vs benefit/demand...interesting regardless. Personally, I'd love to see something like helping recharge vehicles as they are being driven...who knows...LOL Thanks for the response

Hi Eric, the patient who got the milk transfusion survived severe uterine bleeding and recovered a week later. However, we don't fully understand how the milk transfusion helped the patient recover. At that time, the patient's survival was a big achievement because medical techniques and understanding of blood types were limited. It's important to note, his experiments were not widely accepted in the medical community at the time. I haven't studied the ability of milk to act as blood plasma, but I doubt that it actually works as a blood substitute. An untested hypothesis is that the milk may have provided essential nutritional benefits, such as proteins and fats, that could have played a role in enhancing the patient's overall nutritional status and potentially supporting the body's ability to recover from the surgery and subsequent bleeding. Thanks :)

Yes that could be true, but I'll take the 10yrs over bleeding out any day.

Thank you for your comment! I get where you're coming from about concerns with bioengineering. Synthetic blood like ErythroMer is being developed to help with stuff like blood shortages and emergency care. It could really save lives, even though there are definitely some ethical questions still being worked out. Like anything else, let's hope it is being used for good.

Thanks for the Interesting reply...I don't who is paying for their research stipend, but it's true that traditionally cement production has a significant CO2 footprint. The development of carbon-cement super capacitors however could be seen as a way to offset it by integrating energy storage into building materials, thus reducing the need for separate, resource-intensive batteries. Researchers are also exploring more sustainable cement alternatives using waste materials, making this innovation a promising step toward a cleaner, more sustainable future.

Hey @Ollerecovery...while I appreciate your comment this is based from News from MIT & the BBC. I really don't have the time or energy to try to make stuff up. As someone from the sciences...I'm just sharing something I've enjoyed my whole life.

Hey @judypena6989 makes sense, but I believe the researchers are worried their acceptance would go down for what I assume is mass implementation into society...interesting times indeed!

What? "We hardly use skin on humans" that makes no sense. Human skin is being used ALL OF THE TIME doing a TONE OF THINGS to keep us healthy. And did you not watch the video it literally told WHY human skin on robots could help.

Hey @StimTrucks, Thanks for watching and for your comment! You’re absolutely right that the lack of gravity and resultant bone loss plays a significant role in kidney stone formation among astronauts. However, our video highlights that recent research shows there’s even more at play. Specifically, the study we discussed suggests that changes in the way kidneys process salt and calcium in space also significantly contribute to kidney stones and potential kidney failure. In the full video we discuss how the study found that microgravity, though a major factor, isn't the only culprit. Galactic Cosmic Radiation (GCR) also plays a part, especially in long missions like those planned for Mars. Researchers discovered that the combination of microgravity and cosmic radiation could exacerbate kidney issues. So while bone loss due to lack of gravity is an important factor leading to increased calcium in the urine, the study indicates we need to consider the broader context of space travel’s impact on kidney health. We appreciate your comment and hope this provides a more nuanced understanding of the issue. Stay tuned for more on how science and technology are tackling these challenges! Best regards, The NotSoTechie Team

Great question! From my limited understanding...yes, the integration of concrete supercapacitors could potentially create issues around electrolysis, especially concerning the steel reinforcement in concrete structures. Careful engineering and design considerations are important to prevent issues related to electrolysis and ensure the long-term durability of reinforced concrete structures.

That sounds awesome!

@@NotSoTechie-News The reality may be closer than you think.

@@PetrNekonečný tell me more...🤓

@@NotSoTechie-News You have to wait a few more months.

Perpetual motion no more in the list cause of thermodynamics law

Interesting point...something worth looking into!

Did some digging...a concrete supercapacitors developed by MIT can store up to 300 watt-hours per cubic meter, enough to power a 10-watt LED light bulb for 30 hours. Key being 300W/cubic meter. Scaling up to a 45 cubic meter installation could store about 13.5 kWh, potentially powering a house for a day. While current capacity is modest, these systems charge quickly and could significantly enhance renewable energy storage. While skeptical...this could be a viable product one day.

Great question...Ideally, the building’s design would account for lightning protection, ensuring that any energy storage systems, including concrete supercapacitors, are safeguarded against such extreme events, and prevent damage to the building and its innovative energy storage components.

That's exactly what lightning rods are for.

Great for charging a capacitor...

@@DarylOster ac?

@@IzySly-g4h Lightning is ultra high voltage and high current DC, and some types of capacitors can absorb (or deliver) very high voltage and current for a short amount of time. I don't know if the concrete capacitor is in this category or not.

LOL...crazy right!
