Sunset on the Three Gorges reservoir, immediately upstream of the Three Gorges Dam. China 2008

The Three Gorges Project has seen over 1.3 million people re-located, from conditions of poverty to relative levels of comfort. Not all Chinese citizens wanted to move, obviously, but many saw it as a way to escape the desperately poor living conditions they had. Almost entirely new cities had to be built higher up on the steep banks of the resevoir, including new bridges and erosion control. The entire project cost only $30b. This seems like a ludicrously low price given the scale of the project. However, Chinese building practises and environmental controls do not hamper projects the way they do in Europe and USA. Having seen the construction first hand, you have to worry about safety and environmental damage such a project costs. However, China will save huge sums of money - and in fact already has, by eliminating devastating flooding on the Yangzi with the Dam and by selling of the energy created by the hydro plant. The project submerges 13 cities, 140 towns, 1352 villages, 600 factories, and 1200 archeological projects. An engineering marvel, but fundamentally flawed project.

Three Gorges Dam Lock

This view shows the upstream face of the dam, and the entrance to the huge ship lock.

The Three Gorges Dam is the largest dam on earth, generating 18.2 MW of energy, and is 1.2miles wide along the crest. It is a concrete gravity wall dam and there is much speculation and debate within the industry if the limestone foundations are fit to do the job of resisting the huge forces exerted upon them. Still a wonder of the modern world.

The Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor: What Fusion Wanted To Be

Google Tech Talks November 18, 2008 ABSTRACT Electrical power is, and will increasingly become, the desired form of energy for its convenience, safety, flexibility and applicability. Even future transportation embraces electric cars, trains, and chemical fuel production (jet fuel, hydrogen, etc.) based upon an abundant electrical supply. Although existing energy sources can and should be expanded where practical, no one source has shown to be practical to rapidly fulfill the world’s energy requirements effectively. Presently there is an existing source of energy ideally suited to electrical energy production that is not being exploited anywhere in the world today, although its existence and practicality has been know since the earliest days of nuclear science. Thorium is the third source of fission energy and the LFTR is the idealized mechanism to turn this resource into electrical energy. Enough safe, clean energy, globally sustainable for 1000’s of years at US standards. This talk is aimed at explaining this thorium energy resource from fundamental physics to today’s practical applications. The presentation is sufficient for the non-scientist to grasp the whole subject, but will be intriguing to even classically trained nuclear engineers. By providing the historical context in which the technology was discovered and later developed into a power reactor, the story of thorium’s disappearance as an energy source is revealed. But times have changed, and today, thorium energy can be safely exploited in a completely new form of nuclear reactor. The LFTR is unique, having a hot liquid core thus eliminating fuel fabrication costs and the need for a large reactor. It cannot have a nuclear meltdown and is so safe that typical control rods are not required at all. This design topples all the conventional arguments against conventional energy sources in such areas as: * Waste Production * Safety * Proliferation * Capital Costs and Location * Environmental Impact * Social Acceptance * Flexibility * Grid Infrastructure * Efficiency Should America take this step toward a New Era in Nuclear Energy Production? Hear the case for “The Electricity Rock” and then decide. Speaker: Dr. Joe Bonometti Dr. Bonometti has extensive engineering experience in the government, within industry, and in academia over a 25-year career. Recently completing an assignment as the NASA Chair Professor at the Naval Post graduate School, he supported a ship design study that utilized advanced nuclear power derived from thorium. Working at NASA for ten years as a technology manager, lead systems engineer, nuclear specialist, and propulsion researcher, he lead several NASA tiger teams in evaluating the Nuclear System Initiatives fission demonstration vehicle and missions. He managed the Emerging Propulsion Technology Area for in-space systems, the Marshall Air Launch team, as well as a variety of other power and propulsion assignments and is now the Lead Systems Engineer for the Ares I-Y flight. After earning a Doctorate degree in Mechanical Engineering from University of Alabama in Huntsville, he spent several years as a Research Scientist & Senior Research Engineer at the UAH Propulsion Research Center where he served as a Principal Investigator and manager for the Solar Thermal Laboratory. He has worked as a Senior Mechanical Designer at Pratt & Whitney supporting aircraft engine manufacturing and at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory within the laser fusion program. A graduate from the United States Military Academy, at West Point, where he studied nuclear physics and engineering, Dr. Bonometti served as an officer in the United States Army Corps of Engineers; both in combat and district engineering management assignments. He is a Registered Professional Engineer in the State of Virginia, and has authored numerous aerospace technical publications, particularly propulsion and space systems technologies. His technical expertise includes nuclear engineering, specialized mechanical & materials research, space plasmas & propulsion, thermodynamics, heat transfer, and space systems engineering.

GTAC 07 : Chow&Etchebere - Buiding Framework Around Selenium

The 2nd Annual Google Test Automation Conference (GTAC) in our New York office. Apple Chow and Santiago Etchebehere Apple Chow Apple Chow currently works at Google’s Checkout group where she is developing back-end automation frameworks. She has also worked at Google’s CRM group leading functional testing, load & performance testing, and designing web automation frameworks. Before joining Google, she worked at eBay where she developed general testing tools for the QA organization and tools for testing the kernel and database applications. Prior to eBay, she has also held software developer and test automation lead roles in various companies including Sun Microsystems, Trend Micro, Kovair Software, National Semiconductors and AMD. Apple Chow received the B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from U.C. Davis and M.S. degree in Computer Engineering from Santa Clara University. Santiago Etchebehere I’m 27, from Argentina, I’ve studied at the Engineering College of “Universidad de Buenos Aires” (Argentina) where I’ve also been a teacher assistant, I’m currently working on my grade thesis (Testing Automation based on Open Source Tools) to get my degree as IT Engineer. I really enjoy my life at home, hanging out with my friends, and I like learning languages and different cultures, which is not difficult in a city like Buenos Aires, where I live. I’ve worked for different software development companies in Buenos Aires, as a software engineer, developing with a variety of languages and tools (mostly Java and C++). Currently, I’m working for Globant (www.globant.com), an Argentinian software company since Jan 2006, and providing services to Google since Aug 2006 in the CRM QA project where I’ve worked with the team (Googlers and Globant employees) to create an automation framework based on Selenium and other tools for testing web applications. The framework grew and it’s now being used by some other projects at Google too.
