DARPA had the crazy smart dust program 21:29 < geneh2> make a tiny optical comms network with tiny computers and network nodes. and optical meant beam steering 21:30 < geneh2> MIT was(and might still be) working in tiny jet engines 21:31 < geneh2> the problem was dust. dust gummed up mechanisms. that and wear was pretty bad. low thermal mass was another weird problem. a slight temp change could actuate stuft in microseconds 21:31 < geneh2> even when you didn't want to 21:37 -!- justanot1 [~justanoth@gateway/tor-sasl/justanotheruser] has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds] 22:18 -!- justanotheruser [~justanoth@gateway/tor-sasl/justanotheruser] has joined #hplusroadmap 22:26 -!- justanotheruser [~justanoth@gateway/tor-sasl/justanotheruser] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 22:27 -!- justanotheruser [~justanoth@gateway/tor-sasl/justanotheruser] has joined #hplusroadmap 23:05 -!- mxz [~mxz@user/mxz] has joined #hplusroadmap 23:07 < muurkha> yeah 23:09 < muurkha> also, in general heat engines depend on temperature gradients, and those are proportionally more costly to maintain over shorter distances, independent of thermal mass 23:10 < muurkha> larger thermal mass means the temperature gradient decays more slowly when you stop spending energy to maintain it, but the power cost to maintain the thermal gradient against heat conduction depends only on the geometry and the thermal conductivity of the materials involved, not on the thermal mass 23:55 -!- TMM_ [hp@amanda.tmm.cx] has quit [Quit: https://quassel-irc.org - Chat comfortably.
