I just finished reading an article in Der Spiegel..it`s not subject related but I`m 100 % certain you`ll like it:

Westwall, about that St.Petersburg Wedding:
Was it something like this:I don't remember too much spinning like that at my friends wedding......watching the ceiling spin after the celebration....THAT I remember!
You must have the same Bavarian beer "drinking problem" the Siamese Cat accused me of.
Perhaps it is because you characters are clogging up this thread with storage-space wasting pictures which are totally irrelevant to the topic of the thread!I wonder why a picture which was published by Der Spiegel had been removed by the admin from one of my posts after somebody complained.
What a bunch of pathetic losers!!

I don't need to make that amount of effort about something so very well-known.I challege you to go to ANY university with a Earth Sciences department and tell them what you just said. They will laugh you out of the quad.That statement is just pathetic. You may have a rock hammer and a couple of books on rock-hounding, but you could not possibly be a trained geologist when you write such an absurdity, which runs counter to all the vast research whose results may be found in any encyclopaedia, geology textbook, scientific article -- or even introductory undergraduate course -- which deals with the subject.You are wrong. Completely and hopelessly wrong. I'm a geologist and know more about rocks than you ever will and as I stated QUITE CLEARLY, we could BURN EVERY CARBON BEARING ROCK ON THIS PLANET AND CO2 WOULD STILL BE A TRACE GAS.
I do not think, I know that burning all the carbonate rocks on this planet would increase the atmospheric pressure by dozens of times -- and anyone with even the slightest knowledge of geology would know it, too.Guess he thinks burning carbon bearing rocks would increase the atmospheric pressure 90 times as well.
[emphases added]The 2.3 x 10^12 (2,300 billion) tons of carbon dioxide in the earth's present atmosphere constitute some .03 per cent of its total mass. The quantity of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is determined by the amounts supplied and withdrawn from three other great reservoirs: oceans, rocks and living organisms. The oceans contain some 1.3 x 10^14 tons of carbon dioxide about 50 times as much as the air. Some of the gas is dissolved in the water, butmost of it is present in carbonate compounds.
I don't know. Sometimes I think such people have a kink in their minds. I suspect they know perfectly well that what they are writing is nonsense, but take a perverse delight in wasting people's time and seeing if they can fool people into accepting absurd falsehoods.
They have quite deliberately denied patent facts -- or not even acknowledged them. They have just repeated foolishness over and over again.I've wondered exactly the same thing. Maybe it's more about trolling than actually seriously defending a position that simply can not be defended.
Wanna see the documents?

All this definitely makes me think that they are not grown-ups. These are not the actions of serious adults. They seem to be the behavior of smart-alec high school students, trying to make trouble in childish acts of defiance. If this is the case, then they are spoiled brats who would have benefited greatly if they had been walloped a few times when they were younger.

Wanna see the documents?
What I want is for you is to, just once, act like a grownup and stop running from my questions. Losing the pervy stalker vibe you put out would be a plus, but that's secondary. Gay stalkers don't bug me that much.
Like Numan said, drop the childish picture-spamming. Retreating behind a wall of pictures doesn't make anyone forget how how dogshit ignorant of the science you are. You try to bluster your way through with BS, I point out it's BS, everyone laughs at you, and you have a series of public meltdowns.
So, let's get back to some of those questions that have caused you to squeal like a sissy and run.
What's the purpose of a cooling tower at a nuclear reactor?
Why doesn't the navy use software to control nuclear reactors?
What's a magamp, and what's the advantage of using them for reactor controls?
Oh, the forecast high for Nuuk, Greenland tomorrow is 50F. Normal high for this date is around 28F. Naturally, you'll inexplicably keep yammering about a photoshop conspiracy, and thus cause everyone to laugh even harder at you.
I`m not in the habit to read hate-mail, "..pervy stalker, gay stalkers".. but now that I`ve seen it I`ll answer.how how dogshit ignorant of the science you are.
Did you ?Training and Advancement
Upon graduation from college, the formal training process of becoming an Officer in the Naval Nuclear Propulsion program is officially underway. For those pursuing a Naval Reactors Engineer position, the first step is Officer Development School (ODS) – a five-week course in Newport, Rhode Island, that provides a comprehensive and intense introduction to the responsibilities of being a Navy Staff Corps Officer.
Upon completion of ODS, newly commissioned Officers move on to receive the advanced training that is at the core of Navy Nuclear Propulsion. Naval Reactors Engineers can expect to spend the next five years overseeing all the shipboard nuclear power plants, shore-based prototypes and nuclear propulsion support facilities in the Navy. The advanced training process they undergo prepares them to join some of the best and brightest technical experts in the country.
There are none on naval reactors because they at sea and use liquid inter coolers but all reactor personnel, the US Navy included got trained on land based Westinghouse reactors that do use cooling towers.What's the purpose of a cooling tower at a nuclear reactor?

Pantent facts? You wouldn't know a patent fact if it bit you in the ass as evidenced by your completely imbecilic claim that increasing a trace gas from 0.03 percent of the atmosphere to 1.8 percent of the atmosphere would raise atmospheric pressure from 14 pounds per square inch to more than 1200 pounds per square inch. I don't even think there is a scale upon which to rate such stupidity.
Again, care to try and show the math to support your idiotic claims?

Norman you can complain to the admin how I "deliberately used up their memory space" by posting this picture...and have no doubt that you have no idea what it`s got to do with the completely imbecilic claim you made..A theoretical plate in many separation processes is a hypothetical zone or stage in which two phases, such as the liquid and vapor phases of a substance, establish an equilibrium with each other. Such equilibrium stages may also be referred to as an equilibrium stage, ideal stage, or a theoretical tray. The performance of many separation processes depends on having a series of equilibrium stages and is enhanced by providing more such stages. In other words, having more theoretical plates increases the efficacy of the separation process be it either a distillation, absorption, chromatographic, adsorption or similar process
First I showed you the simulator that all nuclear officers have to train on and even told you it`s a simulator and you come back here and tell me it`s a simulator which has nothing to do with the real thing..
that you describe as "there is only one integrated circuit chip...non essential instrument.. and just a few transistors...all we have are (primitive) magamps". And no software is needed."
Okay then I`ll show you a picture of a Naval SG9 reactor control room:
engine room, SG9 nuclear reactor
The Nimitz class carriers use 2 A4W reactors which were designed by Bettis and Knoll laboratories and built by Westinghouse.
As a Nuclear officer you should have these 2 volumes in your duffle bag...or does the Navy provide only 1 set for the entire crew?
As a nuclear officer you are required to :

So the fact I can run an "IL-2 Sturmavik" simulator on my computer means that the WWII Sturmaviks were computerized, right? At least that's what your logic claims.
Yep. That's exactly how it was, as anyone with actual experience in the field would tell you. Naturally, you avoid anyone with actual experience in the field.that you describe as "there is only one integrated circuit chip...non essential instrument.. and just a few transistors...all we have are (primitive) magamps". And no software is needed."
That's not the control room (EOS). That's the equipment room behind EOS. I forget the name of it, as it's been 20 years. If you turned off that machine with the display, it wouldn't affect the reactor at all, as it's some sort of test gear.
What's more, S9G (not SG9) isn't particularly relevant, given it's a 2000 design, and I'm referring to D2G, a 1960 design. Could you tell us what computers were running the reactor software in 1960?
Now _this_ is a reproduction of a navy reactor control room. (The teletype and TV have been added, and do not exist in an actual EOS.)
That's from a submarine, as I can tell from the ring bus on the Electrical Control Panel, but the EOS on a cruiser looked very similar. Replace the teletype with a desk, and that's where I sat. I knew what every gauge, light and switch was, what it was supposed to read, what the alarms meant and how to respond, as did the 3 operators at their stations. That would be why no software was necessary. We had people, and people don't crash like software does.
Also a 1960-era design, meaning no software.
Again, no software. Software crashes. Software crash on nuclear reactor, very bad. I can't tell you what the brand new ships are using now, but in 1990, it's for damn sure no reactors were depending on some MS-DOS based control software. And checking up on the Iconics Genesis plant control software, I find no mention from any source of it ever being used with Nuclear Power anywhere.
I went through OCS in Newport RI, yes. However, that link is incomplete, since one could also be commissioned through the Naval Academy, ROTC or ECP. Plus there was the rare O-5 aviator who was on the command track for an aircraft carrier, and thus had to become reactor qualified.
Correct, but that's not what I asked. I asked what the cooling tower does at a nuclear plant.There are none on naval reactors because they at sea and use liquid inter coolers
Both GE and Westinghouse reactors. And they're moving away from land-based. In South Carolina, they have 2 decommissioned boomer boats that are permanently tied to the pier and used for training. Missile tubes filled with concrete to comply with SALT II, and propellers replaced with water brakes.but all reactor personnel, the US Navy included got trained on land based Westinghouse reactors that do use cooling towers.
Seems to me that you are stalking me...lurking 24/7 refreshing the screen if somebody you don`t like posted something.NORFOLK, Va. (NNS) -- The first Fleet Interactive Display Equipment (FIDE) Training Simulator of a surface ship�s naval nuclear propulsion plant was dedicated Sept. 25, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Submarine Learning Facility, Norfolk.
The FIDE, which is a full-scale, state-of-the-art, interactive simulator of a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier�s Enclosed Operating Station (EOS),
was dedicated to James Eimes, a retired naval officer who was a key developer of the FIDE trainers used today.
�There�s a recap of his great career in naval reactors that we... have displayed in the vicinity of the IDE so that anybody who trains there can take a moment or so to reflect upon what Jim did for the program,� said Adm. Kirkland Donald, director, Naval Nuclear Propulsion.
The FIDE was developed and delivered by the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program (NNPP) to train the four watch standers and the propulsion plant watch officer who direct the ship�s nuclear propulsion plant from the control panels. It provides those operators with a realistic, real-time depiction of actual EOS conditions for a full range of normal operational and simulated situations.

Exactly that.
I hadn't expected that SSDD was ever going to have the cojones to admit that he'd been completely conned by his sources when it comes to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, but I had thought the discussion might come back to something of substance.
Instead, we get ploarbear spamming the thread with anything and everything he can think of to ensure no meaningful debate is possible, while SSDD runs around celebrating his victory over physics.

Well, at least we now know your level of ability. Sturmovik computer game expert you may be (though you can't seem to spell it correctly)....engineering officer in the USN you ain't.
