It reads the atmospheric CO2 concentration.I turned it on as I am going to do my own testing outside in a greenhouse of the concentrations needed to get a temperature increase.Its cold as all buggery and a howling wind with rain |

GasGuzzler wrote:Are you claiming if I had just thrown on a dozen eggs and shitpile of toast it woulda worked just fine?! Well, that's what Duncan is saying. I'll give it my best shot but I'm learning this Atmospheric Thermal Enhancement stuff as I go. I take notes every time Duncan gives a lecture. Step 1: Understand that the past tense is the present tense. I originally didn't know this but now that I have been taught this, the thettled thienth is starting to make sense. For example, if something fell in the past, you understand it to be falling in the present ... forever. Let me know if you have any questions because this part can be somewhat tricky at first. Step 2. Understand that the ongoing completed past activity is the negative of what it is. For example, you might have been taught that there are no negative distances in nature, but that's just a result of our shitty educational system. Atmospheric Thermal Enhancement explains how all distances that are forever being successfully traversed in the past tense in an ongoing manner (see Step 1) are negative distances that generate negative work, which you also thought had to be positive values in this lie you have been living. Step 3. All this negative work created by gravity increases the temperature of the atmosphere ... and will increase the temperature of your food if you'll only give it half a chance. Stop being such a racist. ... so yes, if you add sufficient food to your cold plate, the food will become compressed from all the weight ... which you will imagine as forever ongoing, i.e. the food is compressing (and you won't be fooled by the volume not changing because you will note that the volume changed in the past and thus you will say that the volume is changing ... forever ... because it compressed ... and is therefore compressing. ... and naturally this will generate so much temperature that you will have to be careful that you don't turn your food into charcoal ... because if you turn your food to charcoal then forever you have to say that your food is turning to charcoal.

re Negative work.I have just replaced all 4 shock absorbers on my 2001 jeep cherokee and my understanding of negative work is the coil springs in the front are being compressed by the weight of the car/Gravity and as I hit bumps the coils are working to keep the ride height the same place.The shock absorbers smooth out the transition.This is positive work but if I jack up the car by the body and the springs extend to their unstressed position that is negative work.I have never heard of negative measurements in nature and do not understand the concept.

No. There is no such thing as negative work in nature because there are no negative distances in nature. The stretching of coils is positive work. The compressing of coils, regardless of how "stretched" they are is positive work. It does not matter if you decide to perform the mathematical operation of subtraction, you can only subtract inherently positive values. There are no negative distances in nature and there are no negative forces in nature therefore there is only positive work in nature.  |

duncan61 wrote: There is no such thing as 'negative work'. duncan61 wrote: That is not negative work. Compressing a spring takes work, true. The only reason the spring is extending is because you are putting work into lifting the car. That car has potential energy. It can fall off the jack. When that happens, that potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (briefly), and compresses the spring again. A compressed spring is not kinetic energy. It is potential energy...like the car falling off the jack. The only difference is that it tries to push the car up. Shock absorbers are closed containers of air and oil, with a small opening separating two chambers. Compressing a shock absorber is like compressing a spring. It takes work. That work comes from the energy coming from the gas powering the car. It takes time to shove air and oil into the other chamber and time to let it flow back. It is not springy, but like a spring, it takes work to compress it. It has potential energy when it's compressed. Like the spring, you can convert that potential energy to kinetic energy again. The shock absorber allows a metered rate of air and oil to move back to the first chamber again. Energy is not lost or gained anywhere. It just cycles back and forth between potential and kinetic energy. If energy is lost in a system, you get the work you put into it back out again. This is not 'negative work'. It is just the energy YOU put into the system coming back out again. The 1st law of thermodynamics is: E(t+1) = E(t) - U where 'E' is energy, 't' is time, and 'U' is work. Work is force applied over time. Gravity is a force (not energy). If you work against gravity, you are putting work into something. That something is gaining energy from you. It is not creating energy, it is your energy being converted to something else, like height. Kinetic energy can be converted to something else as well. duncan61 wrote: If you take a brick and raise it, you are putting your own chemical energy into raising that brick. The brick now has more energy in it, as potential energy. The cost to you, of course, is that you had to expend chemical energy (from the food you eat) to raise that brick. Now you drop the brick. The potential energy is now converted to kinetic energy. The brick is falling. When it hits the ground, it has lost it's energy. It no longer has that potential energy, and no longer has that kinetic energy. So...where did the energy go? Was all your work for nothing? When it hits the ground, you hear a thump. That's a sound wave. It takes energy to create that sound wave. Some of the energy in that brick became sound. The ground is also a little warmer than it was before where the brick hit it, and the brick is also a little warmer than it was before. That energy was converted into thermal energy. That energy dissipates away into the ground. At no time was 'negative work' performed. You can convert work (which is force applied over time), into energy, and back again (energy can become a force applied over time). Energy itself is the potential to do work. This is how 'energy' is defined. Gravity is not energy. It is a force. Objects in a gravity field cannot do work unless they have energy in them. Another force that exists is the electrostatic force. This is the force used by a spring to decompress, and used by compressed air to decompress. It is why springs and shock absorbers work. All normal matter is bound by electrostatic forces. Chemical energy also makes use of electrostatic forces. They are what results in chemical bonds. An explosive like black powder, for example, has a lot of potential energy. Releasing that energy results in bonds of lower potential energy, a lot of heat (thermal energy heating something), and a lot of noise (sound energy), and a lot of light (electromagnetic energy).
