Question	—	How to monetize free energy without revealing its existence? Just last week while developing a new CCTV camera system I accidentally produced a free energy generator. I know, what are the odds? So now I'd like to make some money. Unfortunately, this device is so simple and effective that I cannot release the plans - the destructive potential is too great. I s...

Question	—	Locating a carbon sink Easter Island is now home to an extraterrestrial/futuristic/handwavey device. It continuously and instantly removes CO$2$ from the atmosphere above the island. To avoid harmful effects on plants, it excludes the 30m of atmosphere closest to the land. If it is unable to process enough atmosphere to re... (more)	—	almost 9 years ago
Question	—	How well could we counter global cooling? The earth is migrating, somehow (it doesn't matter how, but it's not directly destructive) into a higher orbit over the course of a century. Details: The earth-sun distance will increase by 150,000 km (0.001 AU) per year until it is 1.1 AU in 2115. This corresponds to a temperature drop of appro... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Answer	—	A: What could cause Earth to drift out of orbit over a period of months to years? You're going to need a lot of energy. As we'll see in a moment, too much energy to do it quickly. Assuming we want to reduce incoming solar energy by roughly 20% (should lower mean global temperatures by roughly 15C), we need to increase the earth-sun distance by 10% (incident solar power drops with...
