According to StanChart, the new restrictions roughly triple the number of directly sanctioned Russian crude oil tankers, enough to affect around 900,000 barrels per day (bpd). Whereas it’s highly likely that Russia will try to circumvent the sanctions by employing even more shadow fleet tankers and ship-to-ship transfers, StanChart sees 500,000 bpd of displacements over the next six months." soaring???? ha ha ha ha you were pumping $90 within the past 24 hours.....what a joke Your boss Old Shit in the pants is creating a global recession WTI at $71.37.....strike that..........$70.63 massive move down all in the past day .,,,,,,alll signs are pointing to a crash in the commodities market brought to you by Shit in the pants Tariffs .....Tariffs.....Tariffs Crude inventories booming....demand sucks and you have an Econ degree......Tariffs work ???? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Just get use to the fact that Oil demand sucks.....The Fed is not cutting interest rates for Shit it the pants and China is stepping up its EV boom and as long as Shit in the pants cries Tariffs ...Tariffs...Oil Demand will suck .....this will last for 4 more years at least Crude oil demand just sucks.......and with that are you can do is babble bs....ha ha ha ha ha ha Enjoy the Trump Recession......he is doing his best to screw up the Economy NPR Federal Reserve's Jerome Powell says there's no need to rush on interest rate cuts Powell was also asked about the high cost of home ownership and President Trump's trade policies, but as usual, the Fed chair tried to steer... . 1 day ago Reuters Fed to wait for months on next rate cut as tariffs risk inflation flare up: Reuters poll Faced with the threat of rising inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve will wait until next quarter before cutting rates again, according to a... . 2 days ago Herbert Hoover all over again Edited February 13 by notsonice 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron Wagner + 733 February 13 Grok Answers What can be done to harness the heat energy in motor vehicles and all vehicles and machinery. To harness the heat energy in motor vehicles, machinery, and other types of vehicles, here are several practical approaches: 1. Thermoelectric Generators (TEGs) Function: Convert heat directly into electrical energy via the Seebeck effect, where a temperature difference across a material generates voltage. Application: TEGs can be installed near the exhaust or engine where temperatures are high. The generated electricity can be used to power vehicle accessories or even fed back into the battery system. Challenges: Efficiency is relatively low, around 5-8% conversion rate from heat to electricity, but improvements are being researched. 2. Waste Heat Recovery Systems Rankine Cycle Systems: Similar to how steam turbines work, these systems use the heat from the engine exhaust to boil a working fluid, which then drives a turbine connected to an electric generator. Application: Common in heavy-duty vehicles like trucks where waste heat from the engine can be significant. Challenges: Adds complexity and weight to the vehicle design, which can impact fuel efficiency if not designed well. 3. Phase Change Materials (PCMs) Function: Store thermal energy during one phase (liquid or solid) and release it when changing back to the original phase. Application: PCMs can be integrated into parts of the vehicle that get hot, like seats or engine compartments, capturing excess heat and potentially using it for cabin heating or other thermal management needs. Challenges: The efficiency of heat storage and release can vary, and space for these materials might be limited. 4. Heat Exchangers Function: Transfer heat from one fluid to another without mixing them. Application: An advanced heat exchanger can capture heat from engine coolant or exhaust gases and use it to heat the cabin, reducing the load on traditional heating systems. Challenges: The design must balance between capturing enough heat and not overheating. 5. Innovative Engine Designs Hybrid Systems: Some hybrid vehicles use the engine's heat to improve overall efficiency, like in regenerative braking systems where energy is captured and stored. Application: Not just for cars but also in industrial machinery where engines run for long periods. Challenges: Requires significant redesign of existing vehicle architecture. Additional Suggestions: Research and Development: Continuous R&D into materials science for better thermoelectric materials or more efficient heat transfer methods. Legislation and Incentives: Governments could provide incentives for adopting these technologies, reducing the financial burden on manufacturers. Public Awareness: Educating consumers about the benefits of such systems in terms of efficiency and environmental impact can increase demand. Harnessing waste heat not only improves fuel efficiency but also contributes to reducing the environmental footprint of vehicles and machinery. Each method has its niche based on the type of vehicle or machinery, the scale of operation, and the specific heat sources available.

Post Thermoelectric Generators Vehicles and engines might not be that troublesome if sufficient buffer is there to diffuse the heat and other waste released. Bigger problem might be places like desert, barren land etc. Intensity and frequency of natural disaster increases due to warming of those places. The heat accummulated here might have larger potential to make use of those concepts. As mentioned before, a model has been built to convert heat from cooking grill into electricity. One heat source, generated from wood, 2 harvests - cooking & electricity. Not sure anyone tested out reversing laser yet? Laser uses electricity to generate high heat beam. Reverse laser would use high heat beam, gathered from high heat density places like those, to produce electricity. We have overdeveloped, over produced, over prolific...

It is not a "reverse LASER" but converting heat to electricity is just basically a solar panel. Do you understand how the sun produces light? It gets really hot. You can use photon up-conversion to turn multiple low-energy IR photons (heat) into a higher energy photon that can run a solar panel. The photon has to have enough energy to overcome the electron ejection work function so they have to upconverted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_upconversion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_function Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you understand how the sun produces light? It gets really hot. You can use photon up-conversion to turn multiple low-energy IR photons (heat) into a higher energy photon that can run a solar panel. The photon has to have enough energy to overcome the electron ejection work function so they have to upconverted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_upconversion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_function Not at all. I was refering to methods suggested by @Ron Wagner. Say, heat is absorbed by a medium e.g. alcohol, ccl4. Evaporation of medium occurs. Gas produced is used to turned turbine and generate electricity. Gas is compressed into liquid form and recycled. Or, heat is conducted by black metal grid. This heat boils water (need to test on volume required vs speed of boiling desired). Steam turns turbine to generate electricity. Cooled down by medium ( alcohol, ccl4) to generate second harvest of energy. No point to stick to solar panel which has low efficiency and shorter lifespan as temperature gets hotter. It takes something easier, common to us, economic, lasting to count. Edited February 15 by specinho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This phenomenon is new topic of discussion due to climate change. Saw pictures on linkedin. One shows polar vortex, which is a common scenario circulating in polar region. Another is new observation i.e. disruption on polar vortex. Cold polar air moves southward to create colder winter, heavier snow down south and warmer condition at polar zone. Here in the tropic is affected too. According to another post, millions of years ago, similar condition was recorded i.e. increased level of co2 of ~ 450ppm, temperature, rise of sea level 20 to 50 meters etc. If this record is true, those low lying coastal or island countries should get panic... Every time it rains, flood would occur; every earthquake, coastal cities and island would be submerged by unusual tsunami of high waves. Not to mentioned more frequent landslide, collapse of highland buildings, coastal erosion with coastal homes swept away, no more seafood or in size of those anchovies etc...
