If one doesn’t understand the fundamentals of engineering and science, I guess anything is possible. Especially if you have very good renderings to “prove” it is possible.While highly creative in many aspects; the thought of it, the quality renderings, the brilliant writing and getting it published. The best use of such a creative mind is to go study more science and engineering to actually come up with another innovative concept that is based in reality so that it could actually make a difference within our lifetime. Though I am sure this would be much more expensive and tie consuming than going out and getting a high paying job at IDEO or some other creative agency.Plus I think the modern university systems still can not deal with such a creative mind and would either bore the him to death or alienate him from his peers. Which is such a pity, we take our most creative minds and have them make entertainment or work on other things that can not effect sustainable change.We humans like our terrible customs, even those who “believe in change” don’t actually know what that means, it is merely an identification that we need to sustain our egos.As for those other comments, those that understand this doesn’t work shouldn’t be so hostile and negative towards those that don’t know. Showing off your brilliance and/or education only furthers the aforementioned problems with humans and our education systems.And those that think they understand shouldn’t try to prove that you have enough education and/or understanding to pass judgement either. Citing what you have read about, written by someone who’s job it is to write about things in the 3rd to 5th grade level means that 99.999% of the real science/engineering is left out. Which is why a trained person will say “ridiculous” and “Far Fetched”.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is beautiful science fiction, I am sure every third rate wanna be venture capitalist is flocking to throw money at this.

We are presented with a concept for something with absolutely no available means for the underlying elements described using a bunch of bafflegab.&quot;polarized organisms ... that have not been genetically altered; they work as a trained coloney where each memeber has a specific task in this symbiotic process&quot;If that is not enough bafflegab for anyone, I don&#039;t know what is.  And what are these symbiotic colonies going to do?  They are going to &quot;absorb CO2&quot;.  Well boys and girls what happens after they have absorbed a whole bunch of CO2?  Do they burst like the mother of all Carol Doda specials?Then we have PV collectors that cover only a tiny fraction of the surface area  Sure that&#039;s what everyone needs, low efficiency PV.Add to that:  large, complex mechanical structures all built from nano materials  If it says nano it has to be cool, right?Then there are the microdiameter turbines with negative clearance to the housing  They are actually supposed to transfer their energy while blocking the airflow and wearing on the structure.  Yeah, right.All thoe impressed with this concept, please send me $5.00 and I will explain the great investment opportunity that awaits all gullible enough to buy into this nonsense.  Cash only please!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Marvelous!

Far-fetched, perhaps, but so was a 3G iPhone when Atari was hot stuff. Now we have supercomputers using hardware designed for the PS3 game console running at Petabyte rates--Trillions of calculations per second! New tech is always far-fetched, if it wasn&#039;t, it wouldn&#039;t be new. Bravo to the innovation, I hope to see more developments like this in the not too distant future.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t see that this is ridiculous at all.
