Sometimes it felt pretty lonely out there.
Curiosity is the escape, it breaks down the black and white into diverse elements, like diffracting white light into a myriad of different colours.Even negative ideas and feelings can be broken down into many different strands some of which can be used to find and weave a new perspective.. For me, curiosity is bright, coolly energetic, imaginative, the suspense of judgement until the last moment.
Curiosity is optimistic, believing that through understanding comes the potential for improvement.Without curiosity, humans would simply not have developed and without curiosity now we will remain stuck in our industrial greenhouse..In my curiosity, I decided I wanted to know the answer to a simple question.
Having been involved a little in a project to look at the production of carbon-neutral synthetic aviation fuel and conversations about the replacement of coal-fired power stations with small nuclear energy generation; I wanted to know how many small nuclear plants it would take to replace the totality of aviation fuel.Given that it seems that using agricultural biofuels is a cul-de-sac; I imagined all the synthetic fuel being fixed from CO2 in the atmosphere.. Now I am aware that my calculations may be wrong, I used good, referenced papers and information, but I can make mistakes.
The answer I came to was, at first, shocking.
Data suggests that the demand for Kerosene within 10 years will be 100 billion Gallons per year.Typically, these large structures are put up overnight by a small team of trained operatives.
In a budget-conscious industry, every hour counts, so assembly is planned to be as quick as possible, and disassembly is just as quick.It would be even quicker if the tent was pre-erected, of course, but this doesn’t make sense from a transportation and logistics perspective.
Instead, they use a component kit-of-parts that is easily handled and takes up very little space during transportation.A permanent building may have different drivers, but lessons can still be learned from highly efficient on-site works such as the circus tent.. One aim of a fully considered DfMA strategy is to enable smooth running of the construction site.
