How to resolve the energy crisis

[Crook Mackem]

Last night I was lying awake and it suddenly struck me.......what makes up the atmosphere in space.

Well apparently its mostly hydrogen. We can use space gas (hydrogen) to power things. Hence in my opinion we could just use that for the entire world . Bonus being there is an unlimited supply and it doesnt appear anyone else uses it for anything. Probably carbon neutral as well.

Now obviously there could be a problem with getting it to earth to do all the necessary to it to make it work in a boiler / car / plugs etc. Well we dont really need to bring it to earth to do all that (in my opinion). What we need to do, is build another moon. A little bit smaller than the other one and a bit closer to the world but big enough to collect and process all the space gas. I`m thinking like a moon with a bit of a bubble round it to hold in the oxygen for the workers. Then we could have tubes leading from it back to earth, to the various continents etc. Could even have a tube heading the other way sending up fresh air for the lads. With the comprehensive tube system spanning the globe, this would inevitably lead to everyone getting involved and chipping in to the overall costs.

Thoughts ?

Canny aye

Why don’t we just pour water into volcanos and use the steam to spin turbines?

Couldnt get anyone to turn the tap on mate :-(

 

[OOOSH YEAH]

Don’t you have to make the object a certain mass before it’ll have the necessary gravity to not float off?

 

[Phantom of mobs]

This is exactly why i visit this place so frequently.

 

[Wilfy]

Can we not just build a big hydrogen hoover and just stick the nozzle into space?

yeh, scientists would need to work all that stuff out. i think the big worry is the cost of getting it back to earth but plastics generally quite cheap so could maybe use that to make the tubes

 

[S.S.R..]

One of those posts that'll get ridiculed but will actually happen in some form, but not in our lifetime.

Love the phrase 'chipping in' as if some global effort to build some sort of mega space station to mine the universe's resources is akin to passing an envelope round for someone's leaving card.

Only if you use big enough sky hooks to secure the nozzle.

What a great idea. Use space gas to power a hoover to hoover up space gas. Its win win win. Carbon footprint zero

What about a bottled farts collector ?

 

[Cheesy Feet]

This new smaller moon could be built at Pallion Shipyard..it’d be a more realistic proposal than the bullshit they come out with on a daily basis.

Sounds like the worst job in the world.

Could the likes of a cargo ship size have gravitational pull if fired into space?

I know they could be built as big as you need and the only reason they have got no bigger is they wouldn’t fit through shipping canals. Could that be worth looking into?

Didnt musk put a tesla up there not long back ? That still there or has it floated off ?

 

[Space Hopper]

A large oil company has announced that it is going to start producing fuel from insect urine.

I think it's BP.

 

[Keawyeds]

Thoughts ?

NURSE! He's out of bed again!

 

[OOOSH YEAH]

Aye but it took some getting up there. It would take a canny bit more fuel to get the emma maersk up there.

Last week I got a new set of drawers delivered. Box was heavy as owt. Had to open it downstairs and carry it up bit by bit before I built them. Probably have to do something similar I reckon.
