@Mr_P_Shooter@g__j Whilst hardly mentioned, this is an important point. The Tesla mantra that the best part is no part makes for more elegant designs. The shift to electrification is a huge opportunity to get ahead of the competition with cost and complexity reduction...
@RichRap3D @adrianbowyer What are your thoughts on this solution...in the same liquid (resin/silicone) space , but whole layer at a time? https://t.co/xbgObppy0R
Pulling an F150 will not break a Cybertruck's rear frame
This video shows that prior to pulling the F150, the Cybertruck's rear frame slammed onto a concrete block, which is what caused the actual damage:
@MAKERS_MOVEMENT (1) an update to the patent system to enable initial AI powered prior art evaluation and drafting of a 'holding' patent application lasted (say) 12 months and which could subsequently be replaced by professional patent attorney funded versions.
@MAKERS_MOVEMENT Additional support for grass roots innovators - makers - would make a big difference, especially in the hard to fund area of hardware. Some thoughts as follows:
@g__j@Keir_Starmer@RachelReevesMP Interested to see if Great British Energy will help fund potential market leading innovations to market such as our next gen solar agrivoltaics and electric tractor solution.
@elonmusk I don't know if SpaceX have a crowdsourced ideas portal, but if not it would be great to have one where innovators could see the detail of issues and potentially collaborate to fast track solutions for consideration by the core team. Thanks for a really interesting video.
@elonmusk With the flap hinge gap issue, I would have thought that it would make sense to allow the flap and supporting are to deform rather than rotate so that the surface area change was both minimal but also flexible to accommodate the tile expansion.
@elonmusk Tiles could then push each other along the track from the hot underside around the ship into the cooler top part. The dovetail profiles could themselves be fixed to the stainless skin using slotted holes so that they could move longitudinally from along the length of the ship.
@elonmusk In theory, to accommodate the issue with the gaps between tiles as the tiles expand with respect to the airframe beneath, one solution might be to have the tiles mounted on dovetail joint form factor angled strips.

@g__j This would create a virtuous circle - both encouraging the growth of energy intensive industry around areas with renewables and encourage more areas to host them. Clearly a better way forward.
Net-zero targets are all well and good.
But how countries get there matters a lot. It's the area under the curve that matters for warming.
Delay emissions cuts and you not only make net-zero less likely, you also make climate change worse along the way.
Cool tech...a water powered CubeSat rocket thruster that combines electrolysis and combustion is so small it has to be made like microchips
