  • I looked into it, it kind of works like a compressed air energy storage, with the difference that there is no oxygen and so on there so it’s easier to change the state of the CO2 to liquid and store it in tanks. Later they decompress it and turn a turbine.

    It’s also way saver than a storing hydrogen, because you just store it in liquid form at room temperature.

    But I really wonder if this can be scaled big enough to be useful. I heard my dad just talking about is now and it coming up in news and so on, but there are videos on YouTube about it which are 3 years old. So in 3 years what happened? If it’s really innovative why are people not building it and stealing their idea?

    When it comes to huge energy innovations from Italy I’m kind of sceptical, I remember years ago having to debate people about Andrea Rossi’s Energy Catalyzer who told me “You’ll see in 5 years once it’s deployed everywhere and revolutionizes how we make energy!”

    I’m still bitter about it because there was never a possibility to go back and reexamine this claims 5 years later, because I’m not meeting those people anymore.

    I’m rooting for it, but is seems to simple of an idea to not have been thought of before or at least with other things which we store as liquids while they are gases at normal pressure like propane or other LPG.








  • Haha, yeah, although some of my hobbies slowed down a lot since I got a family. Small children really take up a lot of time.

    Today for example the 2.5 years old ate a lot of potato’s and schnitzel without really chewing. Then he drank a ton of milk after dinner. While his big sister already went to bed at 21:30 he was still jumping on the bed at 22:00 und suddenly he puked out everything on the bed. So we had to clean RhE bed, the floor, him and us, was everything, shower etc.

    Now it’s 23:00 and he is still excited about it and is singing in the freshly made bed instead of sleeping.

    Actually we wanted to watch a episode of some TV series bit now it’s way too late for this.
