What Robotics Experts Think of Tesla’s Optimus Robot

Cars That Think

The electric motors with the battery support could make a very good tool for academic research. In the brief demo, they showed it had a reasonably high loading capacity (holding plant-watering water cans, and lifting bars of aluminum in the factory). You can’t tell from a cool video—or even a live demo.

This New Breed of Generator Can Run on Almost Any Fuel

Cars That Think

The ammonia reacts with oxygen in air to produce nitrogen gas and water, and the resulting force pushes against the walls of the box. As this happens, the molecules within the mixture collide faster and faster, until they at last break apart and re-form into different molecules, releasing the energy stored in their chemical bonds.

Generating Power on Earth From the Coldness of Deep Space

Cars That Think

But we have demonstrated that by directly using power generated by the cold universe, we can chill water to cool buildings by as much as 5 ºC during the day without electricity and light the night without wires or batteries. In the case of moving water, a turbine harvests the energy in the flow to generate hydroelectricity.
