A New Wildfire Watchdog

Cars That Think

Could it use batteries instead, at least one per sensor node? Pause for a moment to look at the smoke detector in the room where you're sitting and think about the last time you changed its battery. But in either case the computer must always be running, which means it will eventually drain the battery.

IEEE Discusses 6 Simple Solutions to Climate Change at COP27

Cars That Think

Conventional coal-fired plants, which make water boil to generate steam that activates a turbine, have an efficiency of about 38 percent. Ultrasupercritical plants operate at temperatures and pressures at which the liquid and gas phases of water coexist in equilibrium. We don’t have enough solar energy and wind energy.”
