Reply to comment by TheShark24 in This “Climate-Friendly” Fuel Comes With an Astronomical Cancer Risk: Almost half of products cleared so far under the new federal biofuels program are not in fact biofuels — and the EPA acknowledges that the plastic-based ones may present an “unreasonable risk” to human health or the environment. by nastratin
These aren't biofuels though. Many are just turning plastic to fuels.

Thankfully perivskites should be significantly cheaper than silicon solar panels.

Not so much anymore, but when I was younger I would get awful heachaches just from eating flapjacks and stuff like that. Glad the science shows I am right.

Tesla was brilliant in many ways but really stupid in others. Many of his failed engineering designs failed due to essentially power by some non-mystical version of magic. Tesla vehemently disagreed with Einsteins theory of Special Relativity.

The point of the tube isn't protection, it is there to produce a vacuum.

"Let's take expensive maglev and make it more expensive and dangerous by putting a tube around it so we came make a vacuum, but then let's not actually make a vacuum because that's only on 1 white paper".

It's worth mentioning that the partial vacuum you are describing is actually 99% vacuum. Getting a true vacuum is impossible.

Maglev trains already exist though. Why do they need an expensive metal cage around them?

Reply to comment by SandAndAlum in A new lithium-air battery design promises unprecedented energy density | A potentially transformative technology for electrifying transportation by chrisdh79
The fuel tank is made from thin plastic so the weight is largely irrelevant.

Bear in mind, electric motors can be 95+% efficient while ICE cars are at best 25% efficient, so that means that ICEs are actually more like 2kWh/kg while metal air batteries are 1kWh/kg+, so a electric car would only need about 2x the size of full fuel tank as a ICE car.

This actually doesn't matter much in most situations. It only matters if you block out one eye.

You can build a working small reactor, but can you build it so the energy is cost competive. On a ship, you need a small compact system with a lot of power output. You can't do that with wind.
