solarflaringWell, that was fun, huh? Everyone's recovering, I'm guessing. Luke? Ginny? ... Angry guy? You're all good?
With all the excitement over, we can go back to doing whatever, huh? After rebuilding some stuff, of course.
Speaking of... Uh. I've been trying to keep an eye out for stuff, but would anyone know a good place to find building materials? Like scrap metal and bolts and stuff? Either I'm looking in the wrong places or there's not much of that around. There's gotta be something after all of that, right?

Date: 2011-04-09 02:13 am (UTC)May I ask? What are you trying to build?
Would wood work? There seems to be no shortage of that here.
Voice
Date: 2011-04-09 02:21 am (UTC)A glider. So wood wouldn't work for it.
Voice
Date: 2011-04-09 02:34 am (UTC)If it is for a glider then wood should work very well? It is lightweight and can be shaped easily.
Though finding a launching pad for something like that could be difficult… unless you plan to add an engine of some kind?
Voice
Date: 2011-04-09 02:36 am (UTC)...You know about engines?

Date: 2011-04-09 02:47 am (UTC)[That was interesting though.]
But, you come from a version of Earth that never developed this technology at all?
Voice
Date: 2011-04-09 02:50 am (UTC)Uh. Yeah, we started using solar power. A lot more efficient in the long run.
Voice
Date: 2011-04-09 02:55 am (UTC)Solar energy…
[Too bad we don’t have the time for that… But…]
How do you manage to get enough energy from just the sun’s light?

Date: 2011-04-09 03:22 am (UTC)Like a battery? The human mind can become a source of power kind of like a battery.
[This was too simple an explanation… really. ]
And depending on the power of a person’s will they can be either a really strong or really weak battery.
Voice
Date: 2011-04-09 03:28 am (UTC)I guess if it works for you guys...
Voice
Date: 2011-04-09 03:34 am (UTC)It… is not without its flaws.
[Which is why he now attempts to refocus this conversation. ]
Your people must have perfected some more efficient way of gathering energy from the sun if solar power is so important to your civilization. Are you able to run large Cities off of this power as well or only smaller machines?
Voice

Date: 2011-04-09 03:46 am (UTC)[Meaning. ]
If you had the pieces could you build a solar energy collection unit?
Voice
Date: 2011-04-09 03:48 am (UTC)...
I dunno. I'd have to see if the library here has some information I'd need and refresh my memory. I've never tried building a solar panel from scratch before.
Voice
Date: 2011-04-09 03:54 am (UTC)A lot of the books in the library were destroyed. If you decide to try, but can’t find any information on the subject, I know some one who might have been able to make a copy of it.
Voice
Date: 2011-04-09 03:58 am (UTC)Yeah? I'd appreciate it. Thanks. I'll see what I can find first.
Voice
Date: 2011-04-09 04:04 am (UTC)Your welcome and good luck with your glider project. I look forward to seeing it’s completion.
