WTF is a dry text Message? Captain Insult

Jay80501, have you never heard of dry humor before? Presumably, because it’s text, it comes off as being dry (also known as deadpan), since you can’t portray emotion easily through text.

@@CleetusGlobin the real gems here

Yes this is the way we need to look at most of our problems. hopefully, fusion can save us and do it in a timely fashion.

As long as pumping fresh oil is cheaper, plastic recycling is doomed. If the price of oil went up just a tiny touch, a lot of plastic recycling would be suddenly economically viable.

@@haworthluke Fusion, timely? Every new and improved version of fusion reactors takes decades to finance and build. IF everything goes perfectly well, there might be ONE energy positive fusion reactor prototype by 2050.

​@@stefanb6539 "Timely" as in before we destroy ourselves, I'm fully aware these things take time. I would wager that you are about 20 years off though and we will have an energy positive reactor by 2030. I just hope something comes along because we are fucked if not

They could tax emissions to reflect the true cost

@james83925 I got the point, but graphene isn't here yet so for now it's something to keep in mind.

@@luciferlyset7543 No, actually graphene is already here, but it's in its early or infant stages and it is starting to gain traction. They are already starting to use it in Battery Technology...

Reminds me of Ambrose Bierce, “Conservative, n. A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others.”

For chips yeah hit many other uses dont require big sheets

for instance the concrete strengthening can be done with small sheets, although I agree larger ones might yield better results, but still

The video mentioned that this method can be upscale to a bigger production of process.

@@martiddy Upscaling means you can convert a larger bulk of material into a larger ammount of the same microscopic flakes of graphene.

Look into microwave reformation of graphene you can turn the small flakes into usable sheets.

KZfaq doesn't prioritize quality content anymore

Maybe if we keep hitting like-dislike-like etc together we can mess up YT algorithm and have this vid spread like crazy??

For Q1 since this is the element Carbon we're talking about, even if graphene gives off airborne dust, the element is much heavier than asbestos thus can't travel as far and fall to the ground much faster. I believe it's not a cause for concern unless you're breathing in large amounts of whatever breaks off. Let's say worst case scenario you would get lung disease but that's from carbon black, which graphene has a different structure to so would potentially be much less harmful overall IMO.

Graphene is biologically active. It can be toxic, but it isn't non-biodegradable, and the amounts being discussed in the article this is referencing are well below dangerous levels.

1. What makes asbestos so nasty is that it fractures into thinner and thinner shards, which also means more numerous shards. Graphene on the other hand is super tough, so it won't fracture. But it may still function as a single atom thick blade, slicing up your DNA the same way asbestos does. So the danger probably depends on whether graphene flakes can be contained in nodules (like silica dust, leading to silicosis if you breathe enough of it, but not cancer), or if they slice their way back out and continue damaging other cells. 2. I'm curious about this as well. My guess is no. 3. Yep, that would be a disaster. Definitely need some animal testing to assess the danger.

I don't think it'll be that much of a problem but it's definitely something that needs more research graphene-flagship.eu/graphene-oxide-biodegrades-with-help-of-human-enzymes

@dakrontu Graphene is made of carbon atoms, we are made of a specific percent of carbon, and we eat the carbon in our food. A lot of food is usually thrown away every day by families, such as dinners, which has a lot of carbon in it. Carbon becomes Graphite, and Graphite (also in our Graphite pencils) becomes Graphene. If you google search, trying to eat too much Graphite would just make you maybe throw it back up. If you eat lead, it's poison, so there is a big difference. And the worst Graphite would do, which was also given in an example, would be if you were to put a pencil down your throat, you would choke, that's the worst situation, because it's basically pointing out that carbon is safe, because it's in all living things (that we know so far and on the Earth). If someone asks if Graphene is safe, point to your window "required that nothing is in the way", and point to the grass and trees outside, which have carbon atoms in them, because supposed all living things on (Earth) that we know so far, is all made of carbon, or rather.. "all organic life" on Earth. Also to point out, other planets have carbon on them. Could other life on other planets be made of something else? Possibly, we don't know. After all, the universe is strange, things run backwards, even clouds on other planets, there are pink and cotton candy planets, and so much more. Also Quantum Physics where Black Holes brake down the reality we know, into possibly other dimensions. Because as Physics is updated and going into Quantum Physics, so too does our reality change with it "given the level of advance that we go through around us", otherwise the reality we understand is only seen different by what we know, once it advances then it changes all around us and clearly with what you see. Though our Universe with Quantum Physics, is far different than the reality we know (so far).. on Earth, which too is updated and going into Quantum Physics, Graphene and Quantum Technologies. Our body also has energy much like the flow on Graphene, stop and think about that with Protons, Electrons and so on. Once you start to understand that, you will start to think about Photons (light) particles such as the rays of light coming through the window or other forms of it that are safer, which is where Photonics will replace electronics = electricity = Electrons. Now imagine Fusion Energy converted to the grid being Photonics instead of Electrons. Also to point out, if we do create our own Photons with Ion - Trapped Quantum Computers, is it possible they don't have an electric charge? If so, imagine Photonics running through your homes without being shocked or chance of the house burning down. Spintronics with Graphene and Photonics would be amazing. And Spintronics with Graphene is already a thing. Also I wanted to point out that at the melting point for Graphene, it doesn't melt into a liquid, it goes through a process called sublimation, where it turns into a gas state. And so it can form back into Graphene with specific methods that we use for taking the carbon pollution out of the air now and convert it into Graphene, some companies are doing this, I don't remember where which companies. This means that if we had a space ship that ever started to melt into a gas "if it ever was to get to that temperature, which would not happen when entering the atmosphere of the Earth using a Graphene space ship", by the time it melts into a gas, our emerging technology would be mature enough to instantly transform it back into Graphene, but that's a ways off. Again you would have to actually melt Graphene to get to that situation, and so if Graphene ever flakes, at some point.. we will have the technology to shape it again, I don't expect that kind of technology to instantly reshape it any time soon. If you are interested in learning about Graphene turning into a gas at extreme temperatures which could replace SpaceX's rockets / Starships heat shields with Graphene as space ships, check out my other channel's playlist called "Graphene with starships". Go to my channel, find Technology Research and go there, check for the playlist "Graphene with starships". And then go to my Graphene playlist after that, don't forget to check out all the other playlists and playlist descriptions on my other channel for also articles and other info, links to official websites and so on.

Heat it up till it melts and then inject it into depleted crude oil deposits? Basically - put it back where it came from.

@@colincampbell767 very high energy

@@colincampbell767 How many times do various parents have to tell their children to put their toys away and to clean up their rooms? Yeah, putting things back isn't a natural human behavior, it's something that has to be taught, learned and reinforced through discipline... I don't see that happening anytime soon!

Back to the future reference?

Great Scott!

Classic

@Froggy Noddy Can't graphene help immensely with solar panel efficiency? Or was that CNT?

Same

During flash all bond get broken and carbon rearrange itself in graphene and fill it's void by other elements present in plastic.

its a new tech, maybe its not fully tested under electron microscope yet

Same 😂

The funny thing is every Moore movie was done with the same BS levels.

To be honest, Graphen can probably act like coal dust or asbestos, if it enters the lung.

Maybe H2 generation from the liquid pose a threat

Cant render a multi-day video

Apparently, not enough to cause any damage to it and all waste products are just gases from other elements.

Asbestos really was an amazing material, we just didn't know enough to work with it safely back then.

The idea is that at 2000 degrees all the bonds in the original material are broken. So there should be no plastic contaminant by the end of the process. They basically achieve that temperature by electrocuting small quantities at a time; the thing that's exciting is that it's fast and doesn't require chemical preparation, and the carbon in the material forms up naturally into small flakes of graphene. The company that holds the patent is selling the flakes suspended in bottles of water, I think.

@Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath And?

@Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath well, you can probably also make graphene from cocaine, but that's a little bit too expensive, I think.

Hi, the coffee grounds were collected from the Rice coffee shop on our campus AFTER they had been used! Don’t worry, they were used to make delicious coffee before the staff gave them to us!

@Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath lmaoing at your life.

Coffee - the new ethanol like corn. Coffee is already too expensive and so is corn.

The situation is not hopeless. Our victator Viktor Orban get Budapest's biggest football stadium rebuilt. The present 60% of the building's concrete mass is made of the old concrete. It just must be prescribed not to dump waste concrete.

Probably burn it off and/or chemically dissolve everything else.
