My prototype earthsuit, inspired by Termination Shock
r/nealstephenson - My prototype earthsuit, inspired by Termination Shock

Getting ready for summer in California, I've been assembling an earthsuit.

Suit: long-sleeved shirt, pants and hood lined with silicone tubing reticula, worn under street clothes. Hood detached in this photo.

Heat pump: 12v rotary-vane compressor refrigerant pump with a forced-air-convection capillary condenser and brazed-plate heat exchanger evaporator. The condenser also has liquid cooling blocks for external liquid heat dumping.

Thoughts on the earth suits in Termination Shock based on experience with this setup: Neal describes the heat pump assembly using a "Chiminey":

    Heat had to be got rid of eventually, so the backpack had a chimney projecting straight up above the wearer’s head, shooting hot air that was visible from the heat waves coming off it. Those who wore them tended to be heavyset nerds.
 If your temperature delta is high enough that you've got heat haze and need to exhaust it safely away from nearby people, i.e. straight up, you're running horrifically inefficiently. Minimum Δ-T is pretty key to efficient operation. I can, however, confirm that I am a heavyset nerd.

    [...] in circumstances like these, where a supply of water was near to hand, the air-based heat exchanger could be swapped out for a module that performed the same task by heating up water. A system of umbilicals made it possible for the hot part of it to trail in the Brazos along the flank of the pontoon boat, so long as the users didn’t expect to do a lot of moving around.

100% true. Liquid cooling the condenser makes heat rejection WAY more efficient. That said, "Swapping" modules on a compressor-based system is not trivial. I think the best way would be to have a small brazed-plate heat exchanger in series with the forced-convection one, or, as I've done, simply sister some liquid heat exchangers up to the air-cooled condenser. Either way, you don't want to put "the hot part" in the water; way easier to bring Mohammed to the mountain than vice-versa.

An evaporative cooler might also be fairly useful do drop the condenser temp below ambient in low-humidity circumstances, though depending on COP you might be better off just packing more lithium batteries than the equivalent weight in water for evaporative cooling.

In terms of efficiency: At the ambient temperatures I've tested, whih admittedly are low so far, I'm getting a COP of 2-4. A COP of 2 means you're rejecting 2 joules out of the body for every joule of electricity you provide the suit, which maks lithum batteries way better than ice, pound-for-pound. It's also an order of magnitude better COP than peltier coolers.

SUBJECT: Issues w/Various Countries
We need more coercive diplomacy with respect to Syria and Libya, and we need it
fast. If they mess up Iraq, it will delay bringing our troops home.
We also need to solve the Pakistan problem.
And Korea doesn’t seem to be going well.
Are you coming up with proposals for me to send around?
Thanks.

Darden has replaced popular authentic dishes with…
Darden has replaced many of the appealing, fresh, healthy, authentic, and profitable Italian dishes with fried and
inauthentic dishes that we believe many customers find extremely unappealing.
Before
Olive Garden used to offer dishes such as:
Pork Filettino (a tender grilled tenderloin
served with roasted vegetables)
Lobster Spaghetti (had a marvelous flavor
and was loved by guests)
Tortellini Fizzano (authentic pasta dish from
Olive Garden’s Riserva di Fizzano restaurant
located in an 11th century village in Italy)
Now
Fried Lasagna Fritta?
“Tuscan” White Bean Hummus?

Darden must recapture its authentic Italian
roots…starting with the menu

 9. Used CIA technology to be 104th caller and win party weekend with
    Tesla.
 8. Altered drivers license to John "Sunoco" and tried to get free
    gas.
 7. Borrowed Fonzie's jacket from Smithsonian for Halloween party.
 6. Appeared on "20/20" claiming to be Buckwheat.
 5. Had presidential helicopter fly low over yard and trim his hedges.
 4. Had Quayle wash his car.
 3. Sneaking down to warehouse to eat government cheese.
 2. Midnight lap parties at the Lincoln Memorial.

n July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and I made history by becoming the first human beings to walk on the moon. It was an incredible day, not just for Neil and myself, but for all mankind—a marriage of technology and human courage that I will always look back on and be proud of. And so today, as on every anniversary of the moon landing 45 years ago, my thoughts turn to that Apollo 11 mission and the horse that Neil Armstrong and I jettisoned out of the airlock on the way there.

It was the second day of the mission and we were en route to the moon. Neil and I were silently gazing out the window of the spacecraft, and all of a sudden, Neil looked at me, then looked at the horse, and said, “Hey Buzz, let’s launch the horse.”

And I turned to Neil, and I said, “Neil, that’s the best idea you’ve ever had. Let’s launch this fucking horse into the goddamned void.”

We pressed on, because if you have what it takes to fly hundreds of thousands of miles from Earth to the goddamned moon, you sure as hell can drag one screaming horse 10 feet to a spaceship’s airlock.

So Neil and I got up, and we grabbed the horse, and we started dragging it toward the airlock. This was zero gravity, so all three of us—me, Neil, and the horse—were floating around during the whole thing, which made it easier to drag the horse across the Apollo 11 command module and toward the airlock. The horse was kicking his legs around, breaking a bunch of computer terminals and knocking things over, but Neil and I didn’t care. We pressed on, because if you have what it takes to fly hundreds of thousands of miles from Earth to the goddamned moon, you sure as hell can drag one screaming horse 10 feet to a spaceship’s airlock. Looking back on it, it was actually pretty easy.

RIP James Connolly you would have loved Sherwin Williams
Some men, faint-hearted, ever seek
Our programme to retouch,
And will insist, whene’er they speak
That we demand too much.
’Tis passing strange, yet I declare
Such statements give me mirth,
For our demands most moderate are,
We only want the earth.

“Be moderate,” the trimmers cry,
Who dread the tyrants’ thunder.
“ You ask too much and people fly
From you aghast in wonder.”
’Tis passing strange, for I declare
Such statements give me mirth,
For our demands most moderate are,
We only want the earth.

But there was enough and to spare. On another dish was one-third of a beet. Onions often exceed a pound in weight. A cabbage at the door of a resteraunt neat me weighs twenty-eight pounds. These vegetables are not the result of forced culture. The soil, in many localities, cannot help producing them.
