Why would a supercomputer not be bad ass for this?

A giant one that could mix chemicals over and over and run a true simulated real world test inside the machine. Hell it could come up with it's own math code if programed correctly.

Just think you just download dna samples of plants, and just all sorts of stuff. Then the computer just starts dishing them together one by one till it gets the right answer. I

also would be believe that the computer could be be expanded over and over. Just making it faster with no shut downs. I think that could be do able.

personally - if Intel wants to get into the battery market . . .


they need to start small with something they already know about . . . like CMOS/wristwatch batteries.

Jumping right in to the automotive battery market is like running naked through briar patch, then jumping head-first into a large pool full of Great White sharks . . .

Hey I wonder if this is why they think they should get the business.

Nuclear battery keeps going, and going ...
New devices could put out power for decade or more
How it works
The technology is called betavoltaics. It uses a silicon wafer to capture electrons emitted by a radioactive gas, such as tritium. It is similar to the mechanics of converting sunlight into electricity in a solar panel.

Let's just hope their batteries are more efficient then their netburst architecture.

IDK Why?

I'm sure they would make them safe before they could sell them to us.

Supposed to have nuclear sub stations available in 5 yrs. Bury them in the ground and power thousands of homes for 10-20 yrs.

Of course, I don't see the coal mafia allowing this.
