data centres full of liquid helium.... I mean what could go wrong?
Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
running out of helium for starters. it's a finite resourceOriginally Posted by 3dcandy
Data center flies away?
It is Hydrogen + Hydrogen = Helium, and if it is in closed loop, it will work nicely.running out of helium for starters. it's a finite resource
along with squeaky voices :-D
really? Nuclear fusion? It's that easy is it? Have I missed a major break through?
Clearly all the trendy data centres are doing it
But seriously, if they can't do this with liquid Nitrogen then what's the point.
I have been reading about Josephson junction computing for longer than the push for room temperature superconductors, so I won't believe it until I see something actually useful turn up.
You know that Helium also have 2 neutrons right (or just one in Helium-3)?It is Hydrogen + Hydrogen = Helium, and if it is in closed loop, it will work nicely.running out of helium for starters. it's a finite resource
It is number 2 in the periodic system and the next most common material in the galaxy... it goes under the letters He.You know that Helium also have 2 neutrons right (or just one in Helium-3)?It is Hydrogen + Hydrogen = Helium, and if it is in closed loop, it will work nicely.running out of helium for starters. it's a finite resource
Yeah but the whole “helium is running out” thing is a press misunderstanding. Tom Scott explains here https://youtu.be/mOy8Xjaa_o8running out of helium for starters. it's a finite resource
Now we just need to get it from the rest of the galaxy eh? EasyA big scoop should do the job.
No it's easier than that, build a Dyson sphere around a star and syphon off the Helium created from nuclear fusion. I mean that's got to be the easiest way.

/s
and who's Tom Scott and why should I listen to him? There's a lot of people saying stuff on youtube. I'm not just going to start watching everything someone sends me a link to without knowing their credentials. I will however listen to my lecturers and colleagues who are quite adamant we shouldn't be wasting helium in childrens balloons and such like so it can drift off into space never to return.
interesting.
Interesting to see superconductors making a potential comeback almost 70 years after they initially showed promise, before semiconductors obviously came to the fore.
For anyone who's interested, there's a fascinating back story to the early days of superconductor research during the 1950's, when one of the pioneers was a very talented American scientist called Dudley Buck. He died in mysterious circumstances while researching and developing superconducting 'Cryotron' chips for use in the guidance systems of ICBMs, and also in early warning missile defence systems.
