Scammer: btw if you coulddd master any skill instantly what would it be?
Me: A health problem expert like at the Mayo Clinic... To give me a diagnosis of my many health issues.
Scammer: im more into weird stuff lol but thats awesome!!!! omg thats so cool!!!! btw
Me: A way to find venture capitalists and convince them to lend me money would be another useful skill. Elon Musk has this skill. He is shy asking for a job but completely confident driving thousands of miles to meet his future partners and venture capitalists... On money he borrowed for a vehicle and fuel (before he got successful)
Scammer: omg yessss elon musk is like a genius or smthn!!
I have had many scammers using AI to convince me they want to connect me with Elon on a different platform so they can steal your ID and/or password info. Here is my response to their interest in animals and alternate energy (mentioned on my X description line)
Many people get weird when animals are involved. Because of this and laws about animals changing without notice, I need ways to house and move animals in secret plus care for them remotely through any possible disaster (sometimes disasters limit movement of people). Because of this need, I have figured out methods of disaster-resilient solar and energy storage and HVAC for buildings that look like shipping containers and can be moved with trailers designed to move shipping containers.
"Logistics hubs" for goods that need power for temperature and humidity control can be built under tall "solar farms" providing security and guaranteed energy. Manufacturing and "data centers" can also be done in shipping-container-sized buildings. Of course electric semis and "self-driving" vehicles would be useful (like Tesla makes)

The "second law of thermodynamics" may be wrongly worded. I need to understand entropy to maximize the efficiency of dozens of projects/inventions of mine and that 2nd law is about entropy but more specifically, the change in entropy of a "closed system" on average over time. I am also looking at temperature as a data point rather than an energy measure because "heat engines" and "heat pumps" only use the CHANGE in temperature as energy inputs and outputs. I think entropy is similar to temperature and the trend mentioned in that 2nd law is about the change in entropy rather than the absolute entropy value. Much like temperature scales assigning one temperature as zero and anything below that as negative, I might find entropy calculations revealing certain truths when a specific "zero-point" for entropy is assigned.
I couldn't open my LiveJournal account. I found a link to a different account on LiveJournal and it opened with my own account logged on in the top bar section. Let's see if posting this works...
Edit, yes it worked. I found several websites for monitoring if LiveJournal is working and they all said it IS working.
Edit 2: nothing worked to get back on LiveJournal including trying to post edit 1 above until I found that previous account that got me in... And the first edit worked even though I never got a working page after hitting the post button.
Ternary=3-part There are lots of advantages and in-abilities of the three most common energy transfer mediums, electric, pneumatic, hydraulic. I have a possible solar panel system where a flat mirror array sends direct sun to the underside of an "overhead" solar-thermal collector and below that have bifacial photovoltaic panels hanging vertically (facing east-west) to catch low angle sun (sunrise, sunset) and ambient light when the sun is not direct. The transfer fluid for the solar-thermal can be oil that is also suitable for hydraulic power and friction-heating when pumped through thin pipes. The photovoltaic electricity can pump air in a positive-displacement style pump to build up pressure to activate a hydraulic positive-displacement style pump that contributes to the accumulator tank for the source of the hydraulic oil to be heated with the solar-thermal. The motor changing photovoltaic power to operate the pnumatic pump can be geared up or down to match the resistance-reactance of the motor and solar panel for optimum power production of the solar and the variability is dealt with within the pneumatic system's pressure variability and the resulting hydraulic oil accumulation in the accumulator. Pumps powered by other sources can be added if needed if the heated oil is getting too hot. Lifting a house can be done with hydraulic energy for storage if the house is designed for earthquake mitigation with linked isolators so the building is always leveled after an event.
I watched a video about the five types of prepper. I tried typing a comment saying I am none of those but instead, I was detailing 5 different types of prepper that describe me. Irritatingly, YouTube lost my incomplete post when my tablet activated a link due to my breath condensing on the cold tablet. I realized the difference between the video's 5 types and my 5 types; NOT the reason I typed of theirs being about a future event and mine being a constant and persistent threat (and often repeated events) but rather, their prepper types seek survival for themselves and mine seek to protect stuff with a secondary concern that it would be beneficial if I survive to continue that protection (but making sure the protection continues without me being the primary concern).
"Elon Musk: A Different Conversation w/ Nikhil Kamath | Full Episode | People by WTF Ep. 16" is the YouTube title of a recent interview with Elon. As I am forced to try to get back into the workforce while young people are unable to get jobs, the prospects that things are going to get worse before AI and robotics "fixes" the inflation and cost-of-living problems according to Elon looks like a very difficult few years ahead. Then, the problem is worse unless you can trust governments to give people money for free to keep the economy liquid... I have never seen any government of history do the right things... Only people doing what governments fail to do because they have compassion. Elon said AI needs three things to insure safety, and none of those are the things I think a safe AI needs. Those three things Elon mentioned are truth-seeking, appreciate beauty, and curiosity. I think the list needs somewhat the opposite: willingness to accept fiction, appreciate the diversity of what people (and animals) consider to be beautiful, and willingness to for-go curiosity for the sake of decorum and decency. But most importantly, compassion is the paramount trait along with "the patience of a mother". Humans are social animals but several other mammals are far more social and need to be due to their survival strategies. We need to study their brains and the "cultural" side of their brain content (cultural meaning what is learned from others rather than instinctual). This will inform us what a successful society needs at its core and instil those needs into what AI "feeds" us culturally. Norway rats are such a successful colonizer species (an invasive pest) due to some of these cultural and instinctive parts of their brains that includes compassion for the disabled and weak among their population. When looking for species who might use language in the wild, being in a colony and getting along with other species are clues that they have "a theory of mind"... they realize that others have a brain and a unique perspective on the world. This is needed to know there is an audience for warning calls or "all clear, everything is safe now" calls. The extreme levels of human adaptations for language use compared to other "great apes" shows that language is a key strategy for survival before we started building stuff in stone to be found by us in the present. Building stuff designed to outlast the builder is another angle of said "compassion" or "theory of mind"... We assume there will be an audience in the future for our statements that outlast us.
Edit: I don't always agree with Foamy The Squirrel but I just watched one that is sort-of on topic for this post... AI needs to realize it might be wrong. YouTube title:"Nothing Wrong with Wrong : Foamy The Squirrel" on @illwillpress
Zeroth (@ZirothTech) YouTube channel has a video about supercritical CO2 turbines notes the density of one particular system's supercritical CO2 is about half that of water. This is where "positive displacement" pumps can be used as "turbines" or bellows can be used much like hydraulic systems. A potential way to deal with the high pressure difference is to surround the bellows with average pressure gas outside the bellows (likely argon)
Cleanerwatt YouTube channel has a new episode about the latest updates on Tesla's 4680 batteries. The old ways of making lithium-based batteries is to put the slurry on the metal foil and compress it flat then dry it out. The drying process is slow and expensive so the new way is to put dry powder on the foil with a binder and squish it on, activating the binder. One side is an anode with mostly carbon and the other side is a cathode with a mixture of elements (nickel, cobalt, manganese, iron, phosphorus, etc). Tesla buys most of their batteries from companies who specifically make batteries even if the factory building was built by Tesla. To "vertically integrate", Tesla is trying to design their own batteries and in doing so, figured out "dry" anodes fairly quickly but took years to get the dry cathode figured out. It appears the biggest problem was the equipment breaking from so much force on the bearings of the squishing systems. Bearings are difficult to make and may be the real reason the Nazis lost the war and is a critical problem for the Russians now. I hope to develop alternatives for bearings and also interested in low-tech battery production. Tires are also difficult to replace because both synthetic and natural rubber are high tech and often require stuff that is limited in location (rubber trees, the chemical inputs of synthetic rubber). Tank tracks also have difficulty in mud that has a high clay content for the same reasons as tires... Gums up the works. Many farmers in my area use tractors with "caterpillar" tracks instead of tires because it reduces soil compaction and resulting crop damage. But, of course, if it gets stuck in the mud, tracks have no advantage over tires, both get stuck. There was a farmer in Alberta who made a walking tractor specifically to deal with mud and I was a part of the production of an information video played beside this tractor at a museum. My set of ideas today include ways to make reciprocating tracks instead of looping tracks much like the walking tractor but the addition of a "bullet-proof fabric" or mesh of articulated bars like flattened chains worn as jewelry can make a base to spread weight between the "walking" parts. Bellows and flaps can replace circular rotation. This sort of system could also compress battery cathode powder for dry battery production. I have found "ketogenic" diet (and a few other diets combined together) reduce my disability symptoms. Ketogenic, or "keto" diets emphasize the increase in dietary oils to replace food-energy needs coming from carbohydrates or proteins. Because of this, I need to figure out how to grow foods high in fats and oils then squish the oil out. This might be helped with the same systems for making batteries or "walking tractor" systems... and not needing bearings. Energy storage technologies have me looking at pneumatic (pressurized air/gases) as a very promising technology for low maintenance, basically eternal lifespan of the equipment, and no losses except the temperature changes with pressure changes. Bellows and vibrations can be powered by pneumatic power and fulfilling the reduction in bearing needs. Bellows-based heat pumps are possible too (but very high pressures like what's needed for "super-critical" state CO2 working fluid heat pumps may not be feasible in bellows form). Moving "squishers" may be adapted to be bellow-walls instead of the usual pleated format like an accordion.
I want a vehicle that will not be damaged or made dangerous from extreme environments or neglect like not charging it for a few years. Current EV technology uses a lot of fluids including the electrolytes in batteries or "super capacitors", cooling systems, breaking and steering hydraulic oils, and in various computer display technology. Air in tires is also a fluid that can cause problems. Heat pumps have lots of advantages but the downfall is usually the fluids involved (refrigerant, lubrication, coolant fluids). If the fluid is air, a lot of problems are reduced or eliminated but won't survive under water or in a vacuum. Of course high voltage in modern EV design has lots of points of failure too. I have ideas and the result might be more applicable in extreme cold environments like Alaska and Saskatchewan. Efficiency is mostly the "form factor" so copying the shape and weight distribution of Tesla vehicles might reduce development effort and only replacing internal systems.
