(I found a different website to host the video. There are several seconds of advertisement before the video.)

Cloud cover can now be controlled by using geoengineering. Moisture laden air masses can be dried up by over spraying them with condensation forming particulates. Hence, intermittent solar energy production due to passing clouds isn't as big a problem as we thought.

In regards to passive house design. Vacuum panel insulation could be used in the construction of houses, thereby bringing down the amount of heat loss to or heat entry from the environment.

The water/steam mix expelled from steam turbine power generation is often at a temperature higher than the surroundings. Instead of expelling this steam/water mix into the environment or cooling this steam/water mix and reusing it, it is far more efficient to pass this steam water mix through a heat exchanger. This heat exchanger would boil a liquid (like isobutane) with a boiling temperature lower than that of the steam/water mix. Then this vapor would be passed through a turbine to extract additional energy.

In regards to the lifespan and reliability of solar steam, solar Stirling engine, or wind turbines, I believe we could learn something from some of the better practices of car, TV, and other product manufactures.

Also, many automobiles are subjected to extensive, rigorous testing, to simulate the effects of aging due to a variety of factors, like fast driving, rough roads, acceleration, low maintenance, going over bumps quickly, heat, cold, etc. After this extensive testing the entire car is taken apart and every piece, no matter how small, is inspected for wear.

This is what should be done with solar steam, solar Stirling engines, and wind turbines. Older solar steam plants, Solar Stirling engines, and wind turbines could be completely taken apart and every piece, no matter how small should be inspected to see if they wear, how much they wear, which components wear down more quickly, which less quickly. By doing this we can increase the lifetime of solar steam power systems, solar Stirling Engines, wind turbines, and even Solar Panels tremendously.

There are examples of machines that last for many decades. There are automobiles that have accumulated 1,000,000 miles (some owners replaced parts, gaskets, transmissions, rebuilt the engine) and they are still running:

(I have found that the MPG of gasoline powered vehicles, also depends on the quality of the gasoline. Some brands of gasoline are more energy dense than others and yield greater MPG, some gasoline is akin to those used in weed trimmers, weed eater gas)

By employing the principles used by the TV manufacturers and with proper maintenance, there is nothing stopping us from building solar power systems that can last for 40-50 years or more, without having to replace the entire system.

Phil Hendrie Show for the Week: October 31, 2000

https://www.philhendrieshow.com/ph_episode/tuesday-october-31-2000-2/


Hour 1:
Phil welcomes Robert Green, author of the book “What Were We Thinking?” who believes the late Steve Allen was an untalented, unfunny “has been.” Phil explains what it’s like to be a step-dad.

Hour 2:
Pilot Art Griego joins the program to talk about the jet that went down in Singapore, Art explains that it’s dangerous to fly on Halloween and why some pilots see gremlins on the wing of the plane. Phil reads from the congressional medal of honor website.

Hour 3:
Program director David G. Hall joins the program, he wants Phil to retool his show to feature more tabloid events such as demonic possession and exorcisms. Phil explains how hard it is to get on the air and talks about buying land in Mexico.
