...fails to mention the possible adverse effects that such high-powered installations can have on weather and atmospheric patterns.
Perhaps because there really aren't any: "The intensity of the HF signal in the ionosphere is less than 3 microwatts per cm2, tens of thousands of times less than the Sun's natural electromagnetic radiation reaching the earth and hundreds of times less than even the normal random variations in intensity of the Sun's natural ultraviolet (UV) energy which creates the ionosphere."
And the total power is 3.6MW; at least two radio transmitters have been 2.5MW, and commercial radio in the US, on the high end, can exceed 100KW.
Given the aggregate of the radio output worldwide, I wouldn't worry about one 3.6MW array hurting the environment - they don't mention it on the website because there's no reason to believe it does so in any way.

These are amazing! The only gripe I have is that you appear to have caught the disease that makes people, when they're sharing superb photos, feel that viewers will click out if there aren't some "funny" captions.
Trust me, you don't need "funny" captions!

You know, that picture of Tesla sitting in the middle of the room with all the electricity surrounding him is a double exposure. Nobody would survive something like that.
And that giant Tesla Coil near the bottom was going to power the entire world, until Tesla ran out of funds for complicated reasons. (Partly due to the fact that they thought he was mad.) He swore to his dying day that it would've worked. He turned it on just before it was destroyed despite the fact that it was incomplete and it created an aurora in the sky. Makes you wonder...

Actually theres nothing particularly dangerous about high voltages - the spark that happens occasionally when you touch a car or doorhandle an be in excess of 30,000 volts. As my electronics teacher used to say, "Its the Volts that make your hair stand on end, but its the Amps that kill you" Mr. Tesla would have been quite save so long as the amperage was low enough. The sparks are spectacular but mostly harmless. Better to worry about the carcinogenic ozone given off.

"It's the Volts that jolts, but the Mils that kills"!

Anyone who says something like "Volts jolt but amps kill" hasn't a clue what they're talking about. Ohms law says that volts and amps and proportional to each other by resistance. When producing voltages, current is limited by resistance. In terms of personal safety, current is limited by the resistance of the body which is not nearly high enough to protect you against any level of high voltage.

Spore has been canceled, and Halo 3 will not be coming to PC for at least 3 years. You need to do a bit more research next time you do an article.

Spore has been postponed until fiscal year 09, but that is rumor, though strong rumor… and Halo 3 is an Xbox 360 game, which I made perfectly clear in the article… I don't care if it is coming to the PC, that's not what interests people… it's coming to the 360 this September, and that is what I reported…

Games look excellent, you should also check out The Force: Unleashed
I know the bad rap Star Wars games tend to get, and Im not usually a fan myself, but after watching the previs vids, I have to say, this looks like a damned cool game. The enemy AI is the most advanced I've ever seen, the moves and force powers look like so much evil fun, and the story could actually be engaging. Also, check out the video on the world itself, seems the design team have broken a barrier in regard to realism in material design, i mean the wood actually breaks like wood

I will have a copy of spore the moment it comes out. Do not tell me that it has been cancelled! I will break into Will Wright's home and steal his copy if I must. I shall have the game.

I have to commend you on this photo collection. You do a wonderful job of posting some incredible photo collections from so many different areas of interest. But these of the shuttle, crew, and international space station were excellent. I always love looking at pictures in space. The shot from above the shuttle cockpit looking down on the mountainous terrain on Earth was awesome. Thanks again for running such an enjoyable blog.

Hi,
I actually took the second pic - the green and yellow wires connecting two cabinets.
The pic was taken sometime around 2001 and shows the connections between two floors in the building where I worked, very surprised to see it on the blog as I only emailed it to a few people years ago :D

"QUANTUM SHOT" #221
|
9 Comments:
Mystery animal #1 is a porcupine. Not sure about the other two!
The first one is indeed a porcupine, the second is a Cantor’s giant softshell turtle (Pelochelys cantorii), the third is a newborn rhino.
You guys know that the picture of the elephant in the waterfall is really from the "Jungle Cruise" at DisneyLand. It's not real.
2 guesses as to the mystery animals:
giant soft shell turtle, or terrapin?
baby black rhino
I knew I recognized that elephant from somewhere!
The rhino baby is a Sumatran, not a black.
the third is a sumatran rhino!!!
Mystery animal #2 )))
see the pic with a cat licking a mouse? look at the shadow of the mouse. now look at the shadow of the cat :)
