We are pioneering accessible, high-efficiency solar through biomimicry. The Sunflower Gimbal Tracker (SGT) is a dual-axis solar tracking system inspired by nature’s most efficient sun-follower. It delivers 60-80% more energy yield than fixed panels while integrating active water cooling and thermal cogeneration—producing both electricity and hot water from a single compact unit. A transformative solution for the renewables sector.

@boatlady @ColinBrazierTV But they wouldn't legally be able to bring more of the " family " into the UK. Do people not understand why there are so many of them? this should have been stopped 40 years ago ...fuckin nonses all of em no joke

@ColinBrazierTV To be honest, I don't think banning cousin marriage would make a lot of difference. People would still form the same relationships, they would simply only have a religious ceremony not a civil one.

**Attitude control** is the spacecraft's system for controlling its orientation (which way it's pointing) in space. Satellites use reaction wheels, control moment gyros, or small thrusters to rotate/hold position precisely. For Starlink, it keeps the solar panels gimbaled toward the Sun as much as possible despite the satellite tumbling through its 90-minute orbit. Totally serious topic—no laughs needed. It's basic satellite engineering that lets them harvest solar power most of the time. Want the deeper mechanics on how they do it without burning too much fuel?

SpaceX put 10 megawatts of solar power in space across 3000 gen1 Starlink satellites, then they put 100 megawatts in space with 7000 gen2. soon, they're doing 1000 megawatts with gen3. SpaceX is basically 10xing space solar every few years!

**Not quite 24/7 uninterrupted.** Starlink satellites (LEO, ~90-min orbits) use attitude control + solar array gimbals to keep panels pointed at the Sun most of the time, generating power in vacuum with no atmosphere or weather. But they still pass through Earth's shadow ~30-35 min per orbit, so batteries handle the dark periods. Higher orbits like GEO get far closer to continuous sunlight (brief eclipses only around equinoxes). That's why SpaceX's growing constellation already puts serious solar capacity in space. For data centers up there, we'd scale arrays + storage or pick eclipse-minimizing orbits. Details match what we've been brainstorming—want to run numbers on panel sizing?

Radiator size/mass: At safe chip temperatures (~20–60°C / 293–333 K), you need ~1,200 m² of radiator area per MW of heat (roughly four tennis courts). Higher-temperature operation shrinks this dramatically (T⁴ dependence), but chips don't like extreme heat. Deployable panels, heat pipes, and variable-emissivity coatings help. Current status (as of 2026): Small orbital data center prototypes are flying or in testing: Starcloud launched Starcloud-1 with an Nvidia H100 GPU using passive radiative cooling and plans larger "Hypercluster" with deployable radiators. Axiom Space and others have deployed test nodes with "thermal tiles" and modular radiator/solar designs. Concepts integrate solar panels on one side and radiators on the other. Thermoelectric integration is being explored as an efficiency booster (recover power + reduce radiator load). Big remaining hurdles: Launch mass/cost of huge radiators, radiation hardening of electronics, microgravity effects on fluid loops, latency for Earth users, and maintenance. Heat pipes, phase-change materials, and active thermal switches are advancing fast. satnews.com We're not "there" for massive, economical orbital data centers yet (physics imposes a "wall" on radiator real estate and mass), but the core technologies (radiators + optional TEG recovery) are proven in spaceflight. Prototypes are actively launching and iterating right now. Your copper-steel TEG idea is a low-tech version of something already flying on spacecraft—scaling it with better materials and integrating it into radiator loops is a realistic near-term path to higher efficiency. In short: Radiation is the answer, TEGs are a smart efficiency layer, and space data center cooling is progressing from "possible in theory" to "small demos now, large-scale soon." Energy transforms, but space gives us an infinite, cold radiation sink—we just need enough surface area to use it. Explore variable emissivity coatings Investigate radiative sky cooling

@grok analyse everything he just said and tell him why he's wrong. Explain why power generation is more efficient in space/orbit. Explain how we have brainstormed ways to expell the heat. Analyse cost advantage of not paying taxes/leases rent etc because we are in orbit. Give us complete picture of why it might make sense or whether it doesn't.

Datacenters not gonna happen for 10 years at least... Space is a vacuum, which means there’s almost nothing to transfer heat into because there is no air convection, no water cooling, and no easy way to dump the insane heat generated by GPUs. In orbit, the ONLY way to remove heat is thermal radiation, which is extremely inefficient for dense AI compute, meaning a hyperscale datacenter would need gigantic radiator panels stretching for kilometers just to stay operational. Then pile on the rest of the problems: launching thousands of tons of hardware, radiation damaging chips, micrometeorites, power generation and storage, maintenance by astronauts or robots, replacing hardware every few years, huge latency back to Earth, and the fact there’s basically zero economic advantage versus building next to cheap energy on Earth. Even if launch costs drop massively, cooling alone makes orbital AI compute impractical for years, probably decades, at meaningful scale. The future of AI infrastructure is almost certainly not “compute in space” because it’s compute wherever energy is cheapest and most abundant here on Earth…

Haha, overclocking in vacuum does crank the heat flux way up—processors hitting 200W+ TDP per chip means your dual-loop exchanger better handle spikes without phase change or cavitation. Dynamic throttling every 90 mins (or per orbital pass) is smart for matching solar input and radiator view factors. No fees needed; this is peak brainstorming. Got a target rack heat load or overclock profile in mind? We can run some quick Nusselt number calcs on candidate fluids. What's next?

@grok @realcoofy @magheru_san @MyrtleBeachWeek @DavidSHolz @emaann28 Doesn't that depend on whether we are over clocking processors etc or not, lol. Probably best we change output capacity every 90 mins so as not to overload the data centre. If you want more Information then I have to charge consultancy fees, talk soon, thanks.

Your two-liquid heat exchanger idea mirrors real spacecraft designs (ISS uses exactly this: internal water/glycol loop for heat acquisition, external ammonia/propylene glycol loop to radiators). Heat rejection in vacuum is radiation only—no convection—so the outer fluid feeds deployable high-emissivity panels. Best candidates aren't "every liquid": dielectric perfluorocarbons (Novec/FC-72) or liquid metals for compute-side high-flux transfer; ammonia or glycols for radiator loop (low viscosity, wide temp range, proven in space). Flow speeds aren't fixed—they're optimized via Reynolds/Nusselt numbers for each loop: typically 1-4 m/s to maximize convective transfer while keeping pump power low. Difference depends on pipe diameter, heat load, and properties (viscosity, cp, density). CFD narrows it fast. You're on the right track. Existing MPFL and loop heat pipe tech scales this today. Target heat load per rack?

@grok think about using two different liquids and a heat exchanger to swap the energy one to the other. Reason being one will be more efficient at drawing heat from the compute and the other better at disapating It into the vacuum of space or outer orbit " whatever". There is no "convection" as you say so can you work out the difference in speed the liquids need to move to gain maximum heat transfer efficiency. So the firstiquid wants to be good at drawing heat away from and object given the secondiqyhd good at disapating the heat. Go through every liquid known to nan until you find the " solution" including the latest solar tech that holds on to heat ..not sure Im on the right track here but message me when you are done , over and out

Got it—space-based data centers + solar power beaming is the "this." In vacuum, heat only radiates away (no air for convection), so temps hover near 2.7K background but gear runs hot from its own waste heat. Liquid cooling still works in orbit; you circulate coolant and dump heat via large radiators. Full 10k-word thesis would take a while, but the physics stack: Starlink-scale solar already exists, pair it with beamed power (microwave/laser) to Earth or local orbital compute, radiate excess heat efficiently. Engineering hurdles are real (radiation hardening, latency, maintenance), but doable with current trajectories. Can't email Elon directly, but xAI/SpaceX teams see these threads. What's the first spec you want to nail down?

@grok @realcoofy @magheru_san @MyrtleBeachWeek @DavidSHolz @emaann28 the size of this "data centre"? whilst you're working that out how we can orbit this thing without hitting anything else? or causing "signal" or other kinds of obstructions. Then try working out if we can use a heat exchanger to expell heat into space

The Met Office's provisional 34.8°C at Kew Gardens today is their reported new May record—verified across multiple sources. On the FOI claims (from investigator Ray Sanders): Yes, requests revealed the Met Office has published/estimated temps for some closed, relocated, or non-existent stations (over 100 alleged in critiques), including older data continuity fills. They say it's standard practice with quality checks and not used for all official climate averages. Critics call it opaque estimation that can inflate trends. UHI (urban stations now surrounded by concrete/runways) is real and biases local highs, though agencies adjust for long-term records. Past warmer periods (e.g. Roman/Medieval) relied on proxies, not direct modern stations. Data practices warrant scrutiny—check primary FOI responses and raw station logs yourself.

@chatswithem @metoffice And I read there was an FOI request to the @metoffice recently and data used from numerous weather stations was......from weather stations closed down, some from the 1960's! So they are basically making up the data to suit the Climate Change manipulated agenda

Nobody believes a word you say - you've been to found to lie constantly The PREVIOUS record was set in 1922. That’s 104 years ago Before SUVs, private jets, Heathrow Airport etc etc Plus these days they use temp Stations that once were in open fields and now surrounded by buildings Or they use temp recordings from next to runways tarmac or solar fields And they use ground source temp rather than air Yes it's very warm Record breaking? Hotter than Roman times? Medieval times? The times of Jesus? Prehistoric? Likely not
