How does that work… At least sweden have a land rise at – it varies, but – about 1m/100years, a thousand years ago it would presumably been some 10ish metres above sea level. So… How? It looks more like a giant’s pot-like ice age remnant than a wave artefact.
There’s a company in Sandpoint, ID that is developing solar panels made from glass to replace asphalt. It’s still in fairly early development, but it’s an interesting idea.
never mind the whole “putting solar panels underneath cars that block the light” thing, what i want to know is why people think it’s a good idea to use glass for roads?
EEVBlog did the math about the thing and with our current (and predicted) tech it’s rubbish. There just isn’t enough power from it to gain much even if roads cover a lots of square meters and durability of currently available panels just isn’t there. It’s just bloody expensive road with miniscule amounts of power in exchange.
It is said that eons ago, a wise and benevolent squid elder named Ozymandias possessed the power to manipulate the very essence of chalk.
When the squid community faced a perilous migration across treacherous terrains, Ozymandias would emerge from the depths and lay down chalk roads, imbued with his magical ink, to guide his fellow squids safely to their destination. These chalk roads glowed with an ethereal blue light, illuminating the darkest depths of the ocean.
As time passed, the squids would harness the power of Ozymandias’ magical ink to transform themselves temporarily into living chalk roads. By intertwining their arms and tentacles, they would create a network of living paths on the ocean floor, allowing other marine creatures to traverse great distances with ease.
It is said that if the squids are in great danger, the squid king can awaken the giant squid in the living chalk paths. This apocalyptic event is known as the bubbling.
Yeah, I was more than a little bit surprised by just how unpleasant victorian roads would seem to feel. I knew it was bumpier, but that's all bumps and nobody cared? They just left it and went home?
Yeah I used to live in the area and the 303 has a local reputation for being absurdly busy at the roundabout near stonehenge, especially during the summer solstice.
