People that make claims without evidence will have them dismissed for exactly that reason. If that’s putting you off, then kiss off, moth.

    Radiators work in space. The area required for solar arrays easily accommodates cooling. And there’s the issue that you actually need to heat electronics in space for them to function properly.

    So really the issue is heating them and not cooling them. But yeah overall you would need heat pumps.

    It’s funny how a guy with no engineering experience whatsoever thinks they know more than people putting fucking rockets into space.

    You can even do fun things with TEG. Utilizing the difference in temperature between two surfaces to generate energy.

    And the hotter your radiator the better it radiates. So yes heat pumps would move heat, which is funny we call it heat cuz it would actually be relatively cold compared to the radiators (potentially), and your radiator operates at T^4 scaling. You get that thing(radiator) as hot as possible that would be the goal.

    Really it’s more of a Goldilocks problem. Or basically just a heat pump problem you have to be able to pipe your heat perhaps to the processor perhaps away from the processor depending the Tj(thermal junction.)




  • Well, they’d be solar powered. Wouldn’t contribute to climate change, etc. no unlicensed methane burning turbines in Memphis or other places around the country causing asthma for little children and families.

    Ideally if we could export all industry to the moon (so it doesn’t eventually crash into the Earth) that’d be really great, too. Solar would be excellent there. Lots of good stuff to mine…

    Ultimately though by data centers they probably mean things that are going to surveil what’s on planet Earth and yeah… And you know then the people who don’t like surveillance will have a really hard time to get to those data centers.

    I think your problem is you just kind of like stuck in your own point of view and maybe you need to see things from other people’s point of views? Even if those people want to explain you surveil you know everything you do we know everything you look at online every single last image every single last week every single ass porn video… ❤️
