This directory in this blog is for "armchair engineering" projects of which I have many.
vacuum distilation powered by tidal action
a discussion of turning the Qatarra depression into an ocean cul-de-sac (instead of a salt flat) by installing both a surface canal and a deep "brine pipe"
establishinbg orchards in Namibia as a carbon sink, starting with massive humidity condensers
the "national garden hose" concept -- an exploration of piping Mississippi embayment water to Yuma (with or without thorium reactors, which is a cool proposal)
a restatement of the "standard time" proposal for simplifying the continental USA's time zones into two constant ones instead of the four changing ones we currently live with
and so on
These are things that I find fun to think about but I am in no way currently working on any of them, outside of maybe the heat engines and the wood charring chambers
