I want to know if this project is running or just the folder. Another serious question when would the opening of this project and the building system will use.

]]> Comment on Sky Lantern Tower by Rich http://forrestfulton.com/sky-lantern-tower/comment-page-1/#comment-11081 Rich Wed, 13 Jul 2011 18:47:06 +0000 http://forrestfulton.com/?p=950#comment-11081 Helium is a finite resource, but will not be exhausted by 2020 more like 2070 at the current rate, but higher prices will lead to increased recycling. The 2011 USGS world helium resources paper isn't completely accurate about Russia or Australia, and in that report they reference much older documents. The Huguton field and national reserve will be exhausted, but there are huge supplies in Australia, Siberia, Qatar, Algeria, and Wyoming, some of which haven't even been tapped yet. Industries are recycling more and more. But often it isn't even worth enough to be economically extracted from the natural gas so it is just vented into the atmosphere. In a few years we probably won't be seeing helium filled balloons (other than the Mylar kind). Helium is used in MRE, cryogenics, welding, gas chromatography, breathing mixtures, lifting devices, superconductors, manufacturing fiber optics, and is being looked at for 4th generation nuclear reactors. The real shortage is Helium 3, an important isotope produced as Tritium decays that may hold the secret to fusion energy as well as used in detecting explosives. It is valuable enough that China and Russia are even talking about mining it on the moon.

The supply may be exhausted by 2020 if we don't take action soon.

Creatividad de equipo, multidisciplinariedad y futurismo centrado en la singularidad del territorio. Me encantaría se concretara algo similar en otro sitio y que algún inversor para Armenia rescatara esta propuesta. Admirable. Va mi más profundo reconocimiento a vuestra labor. Excelente.
