TBH, #PumplessLiquidCooling isn't new.

  • I know folks who worked 35+ years in #MaterialScience and they could design that.

#Noctua's innovation is turn something from a #lab product that costs thousands of Euros in personnel hours design & setup into a consumer-ready product that doesn't require a #Hazmat-Suit - trained #chemist nor industrial- or A/C plumber to get started and that is "reasonable" to sell...

  • And for that I'll give them credit once it hits [virtual] store shelves...

Day 30 ☢️🥔🤓

#PeterDutton (#Liberal) has abandoned a planned press conference after trade union #protesters interrupted his appearance at a local football club.

#ArthurRorris, head of the #SouthCoastLabourCouncil, joined with two other union supporters wearing #hazmat suits and holding a fake #GeigerCounter in the back of Dutton’s media appearance at the #StGeorges Basin Dragons #JuniorRugbyLeague club in #SanctuaryPoint.

Dutton was making a local announcement for the footy club and was preparing to hold a #PressConference when the three men entered the ground and called for the media’s attention. Standing in the area where Dutton was to hold his presser, the men played air raid sirens on a phone and held props including #nuclear ☢️ symbols.”

A reminder the LNP leader, Peter Dutton has no nuclear ☢️ policy. In fact no policies at all.

..."But when blazes eat up urban areas and ravage buildings — such as the hardware store that burned, with its buckets full of paints and toxic chemicals — the smoke contains all sorts of other harmful particles, including the lead and asbestos that deputies were warned of in Wednesday’s message.".... #hazmat

LA Times: Deputies warned to decontaminate clothes after lead, asbestos found in air near Eaton fire

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department sent an urgent message out to patrol cars Wednesday afternoon, warning deputies in Altadena that, after days of nearby wildfires, the air is so toxic they should wear masks and decontaminate their uniforms before stepping foot in their homes.

Sent at 4:35 p.m., the message began “**Attn all personnel**” and said that the Los Angeles County Fire Department’s hazmat team reported the air in Altadena is “‘hazardous, containing lead, asbestos and other harmful particulates.”

@JessTheUnstill EXACTLY!

  • THROW IT OUTSIDE WITH SOMETHING LIKE A SHOVEL AND THE SHOVEL AS WELL!

#LithiumBatteries are #MetalFires and thus extremely hot.

  • Plus they also release #FluoricAcid vapours which are propably the most dangerous shite a person can be exposed that isn't straight-up a chemical warfare agent!

VACATE THE AREA AND TELL EVERYONE TO ALSO VACATE IT!

  • The only way to "extinguish" a #MetalFire like #Lithium, #Magnesium and #Sodium is to literally suffocate it in DRY SAND and let the heat cause it to literally glass itself...

As a fmr. firefighter I can account that any #LithiumBattery fire would be left to controllably burn out when feasible because there ain't #HAZMAT suits rated for such heat exposure and #Nomex won't protect against gaseous exposures and fumes, which is why firefighters sometimes have to undress with the respirator on to not get intoxicated from the fumes in their jackets when facing a regular household fire...

Apparently Conyers, Georgia is not a place of clean and fresh air, still. (BioLab fire from last week apparently is not done).

BATTERY RELOCATION Vehicle Rollover with Hazardous Materials; INC#0796; 02:00PM; 940 N Seaside Av; bit.ly/3TLrew9; #SanPedro; Firefighters have devised a plan to move the container with the hazardous lithium-ion batteries to an open lot on Terminal Island. This will allow it to continue burning or off gassing, while lessening the impact on traffic and port operations.; Nicholas Prange
