      I love hanks voice so much. I actually have a playlist of all his Scishows. I don’t understand why. I love falling to sleep to documentaries but now I just listen to him. He does so much that I never make it to the end. Literally videos I haven’t gotten to cause I fall asleep so well. Music doesn’t work. I think it’s how he explains stuff as well. I’m really stupid.

      The fun part is that Zulia (the state that contains Catatumbo) is without electrical power 3/4 of the day everyday if not more. All because the horrible management of the Venezuelan government wrecked the Guri hydroelectrical powerplant which is powerful enough to power the entire country and some more.

      Wisp Polyextermophiles already exist, they’re organisms that can endure multiple stresses, usually 2. Since Dallol pools have a combination of Acidity and Salinity at the same time; that no life supposedly endures, we can call those organisms Haloacidophiles. Don’t worry, that type of name combination does exist; Thermoacidophiles or Haloalkaliphiles are real designated names for real organisms. If you’re keen on calling it all three, then Thermohaloacidophile works too.

You'd need to reinforce your proteins so that they don't loose their shape, be able to store or prevent protons from entering your body to still mess with proteins, and you'd need to be able to keep water inside while also protecting your proteins ones again from magnesium and calcium in the salt.

It's a lake of blood red water that is not only hypersaline, it is extremely alkaline with a pH of 10.7 (Water's natural pH level is around 7) and it is quite hot at around 41 degrees Celsius (106 Fahrenheit). To make this lake weirder, direct contact with skin will cause the water to eat away at your skin and muscle, eventually killing you. On top of that, animals that die within the lake's caustic waters end up calcified by the cocktail of minerals in the water, making them look like macabre statues.

      Spongebob was created by an animator that has a degree in natural resource planning, with a focus on marine resources, and spent years of his life just working with educating about and working with marine life.
      So even though the show is pretty out there and not too concerned with laws of physics or any form of logic, there are quite a few things that sort tells you that someone who knows a lot about and loves sea life had a hand in the creation of the show.
      Like only someone who is that into sea life would think that having their main character in a sea themed tv-series for kids should be a sea sponge. I don’t think that would be any test audience or board of a tv networks first choice for sea creature, but yeah did SpongeBob work out amazing.

    • @hamstsorkxxor
      @hamstsorkxxor Před 3 lety +8

      In addition to what other comments have mentioned about the difficulty of storage and capture, lighting does not actually contain that much energy. Yeah, they have can have millions of amps and billions of volts, but the lightning is very short lived, so actual transfer of charge and energy is fairly mediocre.
      Tl;dr
      Lightning has lots of Watts, but not a lot of joules and Coulombs.

    • @mal9369
      @mal9369 Před 3 lety +2

      @@hamstsorkxxor Yeah, I knew that an individual bolt doesn't have that much energy, but I thought maybe the sheer volume of strikes on the lake might make up for that. Time for some math. Okay, according to Windpower engineering and development, a blot of lightning carries between 5 kA and 200 kA, and 40 kV and 100 kV. Ill take 100 for each just for simplicity. Watts = A * V, so W = (100 * 10^3 A) * (100 * 10^3 V), so W = 1 * 10^10 W, or 10 billions Watts. Assuming the lightning strike takes one second, that 10^10 Watt/seconds, which divided by 3600, gives us 2.7 * 10^6 Watts/hour, which is what energy used by a household is typically measured in. They said that approximately 1.2 million strikes hit the lake each year, so I will round that down to 1 million. This gives us 2.77 * 10^12 w/hr for a year, assuming you can capture all of the lightning strikes and assuming 100% conversion efficiency and storage ( I know that's unrealistic, but this is just for the sake of the math). Assuming an average hour will consume 48,000 w/hr per day, that's 1.8 * 10^7 w/hr per year for a single house. Dividing our yearly average of (2.77 * 10^12)/(1.8 * 10^7) gives us... 158,548.9 houses worth of energy generated per year, approximately. That's a lot of power! It looks like the average 500 mW coal powerplant generates 3.5 * 10^9 kW/hr, or 3.5 * 10^12 w/hr per year! Although the lightning lake generates a lot of energy, it looks like it would still be less efficient than a plain old coal power plant. And that's assuming an unreasonable efficiency at capturing and storing the energy. That's too bad, it seemed like such a good idea :/
      Hopefully all my maths are mostly correct!

    • @AaronShenghao
      @AaronShenghao Před 3 lety
