: A rocket engine is a rocket engine that uses a cryogenic fuel and oxidizer; that is, both its fuel and oxidizer are gases which have been liquefied and are stored at very low temperatures.

These highly efficient engines were first flown on the US Atlas-Centaur and were one of the main factors of NASA's success in reaching the Moon by the Saturn V rocket.

Cryo-mechanical bling!

For the past two and a half days Jean Louis Lizon has been giving a course on cryogenic vacuum technology at Australian Astronomical Optics. Lots of interesting information and insights based on his 40 year career at the European Southern Observatory, with one example being this cryogenic ball bearing with Ruby balls and gold-plated races.

is the practice of freezing clinically-dead people in liquid nitrogen (N2) with the hope of future reanimation.

Many will admit that some sort of preservation and revival does not provably violate known physics. But they stress that, in practical terms, freezing and reviving dead humans is so far off as to hardly be worth taking seriously; current cryonics practices are speculation at best and and at worst.

have you given serious evaluation to long-term liquid air yet? It seems to stack up well against in terms of mature engineering, efficiency, scale-ability, universal deploy-ability and safe .

Life’s kinda busy for me these days, but coffee news still gets my attention.

From phys.org: Researchers develop cryogenic coffee grinding technology
