They’re only about 40% efficient. Boom says the Superpower turbine will be about the same, and it’s up to the customer to bring the turbine up to 60% efficiency. And to limit the pollution and noise.
They also say that there's an future option for carbon capture, but they say a lot of things, this requires small chemical plant and no one is gonna make it work, and these gas turbines will stay just like this without heat recovery system and steam turbines
if these get delivered at all before crusoe craters, that is
i just assumed that mac users simply get a new mac when they run out of space
this is just another iteration of seo aiding in phishing. it sounds insane to me that people trust chatbots and that chatbot provider page is considered in any way "trusted"
If anyone can figure out how to get exmilitary F15 for joyrides it's them. I guess Thiel would be fine without pretending as passenger, but Musk not, and learning this takes fuckton of effort, something he's allergic to. Either one of them having supersonic chauffeur that has to go everywhere their jet does is exact kind of nonsense i'd expect in this timeline, and i don't think that either is actually healthy enough to become a pilot in the first place
It never had market. Wait 3h at airport just to get on a 3x, 5x more expensive flight so that instead of 5h you fly 3h - make it make sense. For people that don't wait at airports anyway rental of demilitarised MIG-29s would make more sense
okay, that's the missing piece (? not the last): 1GW from GE, 1GW from proenergy, 1.2GW from this fuckass startup that nobody heard of, either missing 1.2GW of gas turbines or 1.2GW grid connection gets almost 4.5GW of power for crusoe
also you don't need supersonic jet engines for that, these will be actively worse in reality for stationary power generation. they do that because you can haul them in a truck
Meanwhile China is adding power capacity at a wartime pace—coal, gas, nuclear, everything—while America struggles to get a single transmission line permitted.
thank Jack Welch for deindustrialization then
we built something no one else has built this century: a brand-new large engine core optimized for continuous, high‑temperature operation.
Lockheed Martin: am i a joke to you? (also, lots of manufacturers for proper CCGT turbines do just that)
they maybe used it to get entry into hezbollah supply chain, and then for monitoring aftermath
and yeah this is a blatant lie:
In a recent interview, the former head of the Israeli Mossad, Yossi Cohen, revealed that Israel has similar “booby-trapped and spy-manipulated equipment” in “all the countries you can imagine”.
an attack that was a combination of supply chain infiltration, psyops (convincing hezbollah to ditch phones), surveillance (lending credence to the former), mass tampering, that got planned for a decade, took well over a half year to execute, and now will be useless because people know about it, and will try to mitigate (by looking inside), used as an one-shot chance against strategic adversary, but yeah there are thousands of phones with bombs in moldova, dude trust me
nah. loam is, for example, 40% sand, 20% clay, 40% silt and it's close to middle of that polygon, on top of letter O
for example, draw a line from 50% sand point on edge to 50% clay point on edge, the first one is 50% sand 50% silt because that axis for sand is also 0% for clay, the second one is 50% sand 50% clay because it lies at the line that is 0% silt
regarding my take in previous stubsack, it does seem like crusoe intends to use these gas turbines as backup, and as of 31.07.2025 they had five turbines installed, who knows if connected, with obvious place for five more, with some pieces of them (smokestacks mostly) in place. it does make sense that as of october announcement, they had the first tranche of 10 installed or at least delivered. there's no obvious prepared place where they intend to put next 19 of them, and that's just stuff from GE, with more 21 coming from proenergy (maybe it's for different site?). that said, it's texas with famously reliable ercot, which means that on top using these for shortages, they might be paying market rates for electricity, which means that even with power available, they might turn turbines on when electricity gets ridiculously expensive. i'm sure that dispatchers will love some random fuckass telling them "hey, we're disconnecting 250MW load in 15 minutes" when grid is already unstable due to being overloaded
