Your gateway to endless inspiration
There comes a point at which my mind no longer wants to absorb new information and I become extremely distractible. Junk food and music become the primary motivators for staying at my desk. This is the point at which I consider my mind a fried potato.
Tonight that point was hit with the word “Torrefaction,” which describes a process of heating a biomass fuel in an inert atmosphere (like nitrogen) to make it into a more efficiently burning source. Pretty cool right?
I’m working on understanding some Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) techniques for something I’m writing and hence came across the word.
Today began at 9am with some light physics (literally physics regarding light)
Continued on with some dynamics that took way longer than it should have
Came back around to TGA hit “Torrefaction” and now my mind is burnt toast.
Aside from interuptions for food, hygene and laundry (bothersome repeated tasks we’ve yet to find ways out of) today has been dedicated to engineering and yet here we are nearing midnight, still with more to do and a fried potato of a mind.
