if you're interested in heating only, then geo-solar hybrid might be better for you. the point is that excess heat from solar collector gets stored in soil near borehole, which can be used for heating in winter. solar heat also gets you hot water year round, and it can be made to work with heat pump or without

all of that without heat pumps too

It is a liquid that after irradiating stores that energy while still cold and can be made to release it in form of heat on demand. but also it's low grade heat mostly useful for heating and not for electricity generation. It would be simpler to just build long range transmission lines or put energy intensive manufacturing near PV farm in sunny region

that's a weird metric to look at because drug approval happens only like, 5-15 years after end of preclinical research, sometimes longer

clinical trials also take fuckton of money but this might be also post-2008 cuts that we only see effects of now

they're all cosplaying medieval alchemy so at least it fits a theme

it's transparent too so you can just put pv panel underneath to capture the rest

you get 1.6MJ/kg just by irradiating this thing, nothing else is needed and its storable for months as noncorrosive room temperature liquid

to make ammonia you need to have pv to turn light to electricity then make hydrogen out of it then make ammonia in haber process, each step generates losses and none are practical on small scale

there is a problem that it can heat itself up so hard during decomposition that it can just go on without catalyst

aaand it boils water again

i guess this is partially because chinese opoid users die from bullets and not from overdoses
