...climbed down a hill. Had he kept walking in the direction the car had been headed, he would have found a lodge a mile away. Instead, after a horrific circuitous trek, he died a mile from where he had left his family. Kati, who ran the car for heat until the car battery expired and breastfed both daughters, was rescued with the girls after a helicopter pilot spotted her waving an umbrella...
...Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld until after the November elections, instead of before, when the move might have saved some of their seats. "Iraq is the anchor around the Administration's ankle," says a senior GOP aide. "A lot of our guys are going to let the Administration take the heat...
...microwave plastic containers used for cold food storage - they often melt and warp, because they are not designed to withstand the high heat of microwaving. Avoid microwaving food in freezer cartons or on Styrofoam trays...
...does it work? Air conditioning relies on some form of heat exchange. In this case, it's a thermochemical one between water and salt that takes place in a vacuum. Water evaporating from a tank inside ClimateWell's refrigerator-size unit is absorbed by salt housed in a connected tank the water molecules can't resist sticking to the salt, turning it into a slurry. As water evaporates, it gives up energy, which is then released inside the salt tank. The result of the energy transfer: the water becomes colder as the salt heats up. Pipe water through the slurry...
Solar panels provide the energy needed to ensure continual cooling. The idea has been agonized over since the mid-'90s by Ray Olsson, ClimateWell's head of innovation, and as engineered by chief technology officer Goran Bölin, heat from water connected to the solar panels dries and crystallizes the salt, evaporating the water absorbed in it and storing energy inside the salt for as long as it is needed. As soon as water is remixed with the salt, that energy is released, again cooling the water tank...
