"World Energy Transit Choke Points The vast majority of international energy transport is still oil shipped by sea. Oil transit routes also represent around $X trillion of international capital flows each year. These are huge rivers of money. The topography of transit has changed dramatically over the past XX years very much flipping from flowing into the Western hemisphere to flowing into the Eastern hemisphere. As a result the Indian Ocean has now become absolutely critical for the economic stability of Asia securing control of the Indian Ocean is obviously of huge strategic importance to"

"Copper is $10600 per tonne You can buy an entry level copper recycling machine for $5000 This machine consumes 39kW and is able to process 200kg / hour The running costs are probably around $50/hour and the output is worth $2700 / hour So it really comes down to finding a cheap sources of copper. When the equipment is this cheap relative to the materials it doesnt make sense to consolidate and ship bulk material large distances. That sort of large scale heavy industry only makes sense for high capex low bulk price process of which copper recycling is no longer one. With low capex high bulk"

"Daisyworld Model In the 1980s there was a computer game called daisyworld it was a precursor to Sim Earth. Nobody seems to play these educational games any more but they teach you a bunch of interesting and important concepts such as self regulating systems and emergent behaviours. In Daisyworld there were light daisys and dark daisys and each changed the albedo effect of the planet if the planet got too hot the daisys died if the planet got too cold the daisys died. There would be loads of scenarios and different parameters to play with but this was the simplest format. Eventually your"

"Ships can carry 24000 TEU (twenty foot equivalent units) containers. A single TEU can carry XXX deployment ready drones + a launch system. See attached video. Current deployment technology can land 17280000 drones in one landing. A big number. The only thing missing today is capacity to manufacture such a quantity of drones. For context if you can build 50000 drones a day it would take X year of production to load such a ship. This is also $10-30bn of drones. My point here is that manufacturing is the main bottleneck not delivery"

"Breeder Reactors Nuclear breeder reactors produce more nuclear fuel than they burn in theory this allows them to extract 100s of times more energy from each kg of uranium than the reactors we use today. Every nation other than Russia has abandoned their breeder reactor efforts. Why It was expected that uranium would be scarce and high-grade deposits would quickly become depleted if fission power were deployed on a large scale; the reality however is that since the end of the Cold War uranium has been much cheaper and more abundant than early designers expected. It was expected that breeder"

This is a skin-core-skin sandwich structure that maximises strength to weight efficiency. Its possible to manufacture very strong lightweight and highly survivable structures with this stuff. Both outperform monolithic plate by 1-2 orders of magnitude on specific stiffness (40-50 fold gains). You can achieve the same stiffness and structure strength with 80-90% less mass.
