- samotage, on 09/30/2008, -1/+20If we make enough of these and deploy them high in the air, then their reflective effect could aid global cooling, offsetting global warming!
...on a more serious note - great to see these innovations coming out of the solar industry, ROCK ON! - Zuwxiv, on 10/01/2008, -2/+18Yes, but how will it help me ***** the RIAA?
- Aminus, on 09/30/2008, -0/+14At first I thought they'd actually float up and send electricity down the tether, and how awesome (if impractical) that would be. Still very cool, though.
- Thud, on 10/01/2008, -1/+10Damn... I haven't had enough coffee for that headline to make any sense.
- gerrylazlo, on 10/01/2008, -2/+10Adjective Noun Adjective Noun Adjective Noun Adjective Noun.
- RocquesDiggs, on 10/01/2008, -1/+10I am impressed by this. Now will they be small enough to have in your backyard without frying the birds that happen to get close to them or your curious cat or dog? This seems really great though and very cost effective. I hope it works well.
- pixelmatter, on 10/01/2008, -1/+4Oh dear god look at all those capital first letters...
- 9bpm9, on 10/01/2008, -0/+2Or we could just move the planet like they did in Futurama.
- lilricky, on 10/01/2008, -0/+2Why the heck use plastic?? Just use glass, its recyclable, more durable, and easier to calculate the focal point.
- mondoman89, on 10/01/2008, -1/+3They're located where I live I'm hoping to get an internship with them over the summer.
- theadvinci, on 10/01/2008, -0/+2I'm amazed nobody has made a joke about burning ants. And I'm not going to do one either.
- minorgods, on 10/01/2008, -0/+2Bet you can't say that 10 times real fast...
REAL cool tho - Siliconshaman, on 10/19/2008, -0/+1It's missing some punctuation that's for sure. should read. 'Cool Earth Solar', building solar-balloon prototype plant.
- inactive, on 10/01/2008, -2/+3That is the most complicated title I have ever seen.
- marclindsay, on 10/01/2008, -0/+1Some guy in Iraq is doing something similar
- Siliconshaman, on 10/19/2008, -0/+1well, the inside would heat up due to absorbed sunlight at frequencies that the pV cells couldn't use....so if it was light enough then yeah, they'd float.
Of course, you could try filling it with helium, that certainly would work. it'd be expensive though. - DarkPrincess74, on 10/01/2008, -0/+1Or maybe we could upscale the technology used in lost to move the island.
- aerobroken, on 10/04/2008, -0/+1Impressive if it will really work that is...
- MsLaurel, on 10/02/2008, -0/+1Instead of stimulus cheks --send us balloons!
- maninalift, on 10/01/2008, -0/+1show your working.
- h0dges, on 10/01/2008, -0/+0...Did anybody else click the link cuz they thought it looked like a stargate?
- mynameistux, on 10/01/2008, -1/+1BUT, will it run crysis?
or blend, either is good. - laim, on 10/01/2008, -0/+0lol i cant even think of anything to say about that title, it just made me laugh
- ncc74656m, on 10/01/2008, -1/+1Awesome. Seriously, tie a couple of these to your house and build a plug-in Prius. You'll almost never pay again for gas or electric.
- NoozeHound, on 10/01/2008, -1/+1you funny.
- TigerFist, on 10/02/2008, -1/+1cost
- Siliconshaman, on 10/19/2008, -1/+1cost and weight... the more the installation weighs, the more you have to build brackets to take it and the fewer you can put on a roof.
and glass is more expensive.
besides, plastics can be recycled, heck they can be biodegradable and use less energy during production. - NoozeHound, on 10/01/2008, -2/+1They lie. Thinly disguised Bat signal.
And Yuk! That article is written like a cheesy news programme script. - Richie311, on 10/01/2008, -6/+3Can it be used as a go-kart?
- edarevalo, on 10/01/2008, -6/+0nice post!
