Thermal Recycling Boosts Thermodynamic Swings
When a greenie says a project or process is “So-o energy-intensive,” we are expected to give up and buy a bicycle. Or a train ticket. That’s not necessary. Chemical engineers…

A Wellington-based organisation for disabled sailors is getting ready to put a new sailboat into volume production. Sailability Wellington, ably led by Don Manning, has been working on the new…
There are plenty of good reasons why liquid-fuelled piston engines dominate land and sea transportation. They are better than older technologies. And usually, when some alternative technology tries to challenge…
If you’ve ever been cancelled for liking your car, you know what green guilt-tripping feels like. I hope, after you’ve read this post, that you will no longer feel guilty…
Consumers want climate change to go away. We have very good reasons to expect that sensible climate engineering will make that happen. We have an international agreement telling us exactly…
Climate engineers already have a range of tools which are fully capable of satisfying consumer demand for climate stability. We should not assume that all potential climate engineering tools have…
People want climate change to go away. On news websites, TV and radio news, social media, and everywhere people get information, it is impossible to avoid stories about human-made climate…
Humans have been modifying their habitat for hundreds of thousands of years. House-building began at least four hundred thousand years ago, and people learned to control fire more than a…
It has been known for at least a decade that the earth has large reservoirs of natural hydrogen. It’s a good source of carbon-free energy that very few people knew…
As an engineering journalist I am committed to technological innovation. This blog will explore important developments, with the emphasis on technology that helps improve people’s lives or makes them richer.…
