The unit doesn't have moving parts, and provides a powerful separation and value of hot and cold air for industrial uses.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08348367560139366345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252175094403576854.post-34208403629950952262011-05-24T21:48:21.741-05:002011-05-24T21:48:21.741-05:00I'm no engineer either, but it looks elegant o...I'm no engineer either, but it looks elegant on first glance. The biggest issue is that waste heat frequently isn't 'dense' enough to be useful. So how much heat do super conducting magnetic sails put out per unit of volume? <br /><br />In short, those pesky laws of thermodynamics might keep it from being too useful.Strannikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16087783366276504178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252175094403576854.post-47909247921146287962011-05-24T19:58:53.046-05:002011-05-24T19:58:53.046-05:00I like it, but I am no engineer either.I like it, but I am no engineer either.Craig A.
