recovering
I spent the past few days settling in to this house, taking care of the dog, and recovering from a sore throat. I spent Wednesday and Thursday moving back and forth, lifting heavy equipment and making myself stressed as ever. So, I am finally on the rebound from this sore throat.
Over the weekend, I set my computer up and decided to reload everything from scratch because it was starting to show many problems. So I recovered the computer from the pits and now it’s running very smoothly! It’s always nice to give my computer a nice, new operating system.
I plan on spending the rest of the week applying to grad school, working, taking care of the dog, and building my portfolio.
Oh, and I saw a great program on Nightline on ABC about Hydrogen Fuel Cells. I like what they had to say except for the fact that it could take half my life to implement these energy sources for vehicles.
Click here to understand fuel cells. The reporter visited an MIT professor about how to find hydrogen for fuel cells. The easiest and most complicated answer was water. Water is otherwise known as H2O where the hydrogen could potentially be separated from the oxygen. The unfortunate thing for fuel cells is that hydrogen and oxygen are extremely bonded to each other as water. So what process in nature can easily separate the hydrogen from oxygen? Leaves. Your common, average leaf from any plant. But how long did it take these leaves to learn how to accomplish this process? 2-4 billion years. How long will my lifetime continue? Who knows! But hopefully another 60 to 80 years!
So the process that must be figured out is how to easily separate hydrogen from oxygen. Anyone??
