Wow. That's beautiful! :D Also, hello! Remember me? We met at the EA summit in 2014.

Ah, yes! Long time no see! Any new interesting projects?

So many! So many
Right now everything is focused on organising what I can to fight the pandemic. I was one of the first people to say that this would be a pandemic (around Jan 25th) and I've really focused on social media since then (~10k tweets, 10mm impressions), but...1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -
I also took the money I had access to and shorted the market. I've since taken out the initial investment (thx fam) dispersed about $700k in investments on vaccine development (
@plurplus) antidote development (@nanogenomic) direct donation of masks / oxygen / beds,@humsys etc...1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

I'm shifting gears to work on a global scale sort of Augmented reality / social network that slurps up all of twitter and geolocates accounts and ideas onto a renormalizable map with fractal dimension -- the idea is to give all knowledge and people *context*

I'm creating an escape community called Haven in Northern California, and hopefully will start working on a next generation energy/aerospace company when the pandemic permits. 100x high energy density batteries (something I call a lightcell) and space based fusion for propulsion

Impressive! That makes me feel I don't have that much going on. Which is a lovely feeling, actually. What is the method of the lightcells? Pressured air again?

no, it's traditional combustion (with, say, hydrogen), but you thermally excite sodium which causes intense emission of light around 589 nm, and then you absorb this with a pv cell with a tuned bandgap. scales down really well

Neat! So if your thermal insulation is good enough most energy escapes as light? (some thermodynamic limits apply, of course) I guess an issue is pv temperature, though.

Replying to @anderssandberg @wildflowerearth and
Yes, if you design it well almost all energy leaves as light, the emission of light is exponential with temperature and the conduction, which can be insulated, is only ~linear. You have to reflect infrared though.

If you match the bandgap you can reduce the PV heating by a factor of 10 and active cooling should take care of the rest.

Neat. I can imagine that if the fuel is cold it could be pre-heated by the PV and act as coolant.

yes, want to use regeneration wherever possible. ideal thermodynamic efficient is achieved with bear isothermal combusion, removing heat via light as energy is released by combustion, &then you use a counterflow heat exchanger to remove heat from exhaust & put in fuel/oxidizer
