Ah sorry I debunked the PoW as space heaters in my unpublished whitepaper:

5.1.1 Specialization

As noted in the sub-sections Selfish Mining Example, Proof-of-Work on CPUs, and Proof-of-Work as Space Heaters, economies-of-scale enable opportunities for specialization of ASICs, data center cooling systems, etc., which foster lowest cost miners that have much higher profits and pro rata rate of return-on-investment than the marginal miners. This is a power vacuum feedback loop because the economies-of-scale grow faster for those with more economy-of-scale.

Did The Plane Flyover The Pentagon?

Plane Flyover; Explosives Planted Inside The Pentagon

The flight data recorder and credible witness testimony are compelling evidence the plane flew over the Pentagon on 9/11.

These facts explained below have been hidden under our proverbial no(i)se for 17 years.

Every citizen on earth has a civic duty to study this information. The intentional wars and destabilizations that have followed 9/11 for example in the Middle East, the migration invasions, the divisive politics tearing apart the U.S.A, as well as the possible coming nuclear war between the USA and Russia has been perpetrated by the global elite[mafia] who masterminded 9/11.

Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Efficiency

The fuel efficiency of an internal combustion engine (ICE) is significantly determined by its thermal efficiency and the fuel density¹ — independent of the type of fuel the thermal density dominates. There’s other fuel efficiency factors such as the following some which either have a minor effect or are already practically nearly fully optimized:

  • friction of moving parts
  • inefficient combustion
  • heat loss from the combustion chamber
  • departure of the working fluid from the thermodynamic properties of an ideal gas
  • aerodynamic drag of air moving through the engine
  • energy used by auxiliary equipment like oil and water pumps.
  • inefficient compressors and turbines
  • imperfect valve timing
