Most people, on a conceptual level, start to fade out when imagining the principles behind a simple analog radio transmitter/receiver

There is a reason /g/ is so preoccupied with shitty busted old tech, it's because the newer stuff is too much to think about

Quantum computing.

Anything in fabs.
The way CPUs are made is just pure magic. Not even engineers can explain it.

Fusion reactors when they actually start producing electricity in a few years.

I'm actually scared of them desu, some kind of catastrophic failure could cause them to detonate and cause a nuclear explosion.

Ive worked IT in several large aerospace engineering and financial companies and can confirm no matter how smart they seem when it comes to their respective fields they all are retarded when it comes to computers.

Fucking e-bikes, I still don't understand how you can make a transmission that adds power from the pedals and the motor together. Although most (?) e-bikes put the motor on the front wheel I think.

Mine just had the thumb throttle, no pedal assist. But still, it's less of a vehicle and more likw a power tool for mobility. It feels like a magic broom.

Hey, shit happens man. Safeties and shit could fail or the power plant can get bombed or somethinf. idk. It's a ton of neutron radiation being pumped out of those things.

I think the part about them being able to generate electricity is the strangest part about them.

Like where the fuck do the countless electrons even come from despite turbine generators working for years non-stop?

It goes both ways. Technologically-illiterate people are often attracted to new tech because they think "new" automatically means "better".

>>60247693
Fine then explain it

>>60248137
why is there not an engine which uses magnetic force to spin the turbines?

Its like not understanding what electrons are, or what energy is. Amazing! But it does happen for americans.

>>60248137
The electrons come from the wires. This is highschool physics.

>>60247289
Wew lad. Dat picture startled me. You must be really smart.

this is bait

you turn a gear with your feet that's connected to the gear on the back wheel via chain. it's incredibly simple.

>>60248473
I know what they are and that they can't be created, just moved. But how is it possible that those wires transfer millions, maybe billions of coulombs of electricity? It's almost as if they we're pulled from another dimension or something.

Also what happens when these wires run out of electrons? They don't have an infinite amount of electrons.

>>60247551
Thats great stuff, thanks

>>60247453
Mainly because of how stupidly simple it was to use.

It was like "holy shit how is this the first time i'm using this?"

>>60247890
Classic.

>>60248656
>I know what they are and that they can't be created
Then you don't know what they are because that's wrong, they can be and are created all the time.
Look up pair production.

>>60248656
They don't run out because the electrons aren't actually going anywhere. You're pumping them through a closed circuit.

>>60248656
Literally 2 weeks ago I friend of mine was showing of a simulation of how it works with water bubbles. They were not pulled out of another dimension.

>>60248656
That's what we have alternating current for: it pumps electrons for a while one way, and then changes direction so that there is no electron deficit.

I wonder what this could be put under, IQ? is there a specific brain region for such a thing? conceptualizing logical/and or physical phenomena?

>>60251357
Yeah IQ is a good if broad measure of analytical ability.

But it depends on too many factors to be reliably reproduced, otherwise we'd have an objective way of educating people.

>>60247512
You seem to not know how they work.
This kind of reactor cannot blow up, as there is nothing to blow up. Hydrogen can burn, but there is so little of it.
If reactor gets damaged, plasma will touch side and get extinguished just like fire, less dangerous, than petrol powered car.

It does not produce nuclear waste (however inside of the reactor gets radioactive after some time as it is bombarded with neutrons constantly).
It's perfect technology, better than nuclear fission in nuclear reactors, cheaper and safer.

>>60247205
How are magnets technology?

>>60251383
>Yeah IQ is a good if broad measure of analytical ability.
IQ is a measure of how good you are at solving the sorts of puzzles used in IQ tests.
The nun who taught me in Year 8 gave the class IQ tests twice a day. After a few months we all had much, much higher IQ results.
She also made us take past exam papers twice a week. By the time we got to the scholarship exams we were used to taking them and had no problems.
You can train for study just like athletics or music. Once you are mentally fit everything is much easier.

>>60252006
Well of course you can easily foil the point of IQ tests, which is part of why I said they are "broad", you can't actually do anything useful with one IQ data point.
