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
