Almost every commercial door has a door closer rhat does exactly this?

Hey isint that buoy or at least power generated by waves idea something thats currently kinda being done though?

Good soup thank you very much for doing the math. I was struggling

Its less about the profit and more about offsetting costs. Yes one door wouldnt be really worthwhile but in this circumstance you’re using parts you already need to maintain and run(door pistons and accessibility) and the complexity added to the system could be bypassed should it fail without impacting that core operation

Yes as you typically do with most forms of generation. One door wouldnt do much but multiple doors opening and closing constantly all day surely has the potential to generate some amount of energy.

Ive been in places where the door basically doesent stop moving for hours at a time, even if the door doesent close fully its still moving by someone either opening it wider or it coasting back towards closed position. Compliant exterior doors are typically set to take about 8.5-10lbs of force to open. Im not super good at math but surely that much “weight” moving constantly could generate some electricity. There are small wind turbines that move with less force constantly

That doesent make sense though because automatic doors and handicap accessible doors already have motors which also can be generators and are otherwise connected to power??

Like the only complexity I can think of would be smoothly and safely delivering the power back to the buildings grid but we definitely have overcome these complexities in other applications

Edit: has there been a study or at least some math done on how much force goes into opening and closing doors in commercial buildings?

So like a little removed from this but I always wondered why cant we harvest energy from busy buildings where people are closing and opening doors all the time? The doors typically already even have a motor on them to be handicap accessible and need to slow close anyways. If anything it could generate enough electricity for at least a couple lights or office computers

Annoyed by the commonly imperceptible sound an ultrasound machine makes? Possibly autistic

Facinated by how and why the machine works while it annoys you? Definitely autistic

I joke but im exactly like this too lol.

This might actually help me thank you!

This might actually help me thank you!

BOMDAS deez nuts or something

Im terrible at math, what is this though?

Could you please provide the numbers on your credit card?

Making it seem softer feels like rich propaganda to me and i wouldnt be surprised if it was these days

Imagine wanting to start a hotel and at some point in the process you have to go “and now i need to figure out how to get those bibles into my rooms” as if it is an absolutely necessary component to making a hotel like a minecraft crafting recipe

Its a lot of fun! If you like barotrauma but want something more long form youll love SS14 its much more goofy than barotrauma

AAA gaming is definitely dead but i dont think its a bad thing. Ive just about only played Indie games and even AA(?) games to great satisfaction the past couple of years. Im not a light gamer either have thousands of hours in games like Avorion, Stormworks, Battlebit, Juno: new origins (kerbal space program like). That is just to name a few but right now im binging Space Station 14 real hard which im not even playing from Steam. If anything the death of AAA has created a great opportunity for smaller devs to start showing up and showing off

They dont go very fast so im getting this mental image of someone spotting one way off down the street coming towards them and just standing there watching…and watching…and watching until if finally reaches them and runs into them. Then the bot and person just being like >:(

Also shows people dont really care about a thinner phone

You could go southeast asia style and do a seafood cocktail pizza topped with a spiral of kewpie mayo.
