That sand thing doesn’t hold a candle to what Tibetan monks can make. They made a sand mandala at the Anchorage Museum and I got to see it. Seeing that alone was worth the entire 100 mile trip. Looking around google under “sand mandala” brought up http://www.ackland.org/art/exhibitions/buddhistart/construction.htm which shows pictures of them making one for some other museum. But yeah, Tibetan sand mandalas could casually karate chop those in half.

hah! what #1 said is exactly what I was going to go on about. I saw some monks make a mandela too, only it was a city half an hour away. bloody crazy what they can do with a few days and some prayers.
in regards to ’10 year nuclear battery – nuff said.’
The entire concept of a highly efficent surface to collect radiation using pits has been around for quite some time.

Using a high powered pulse laser you can riddle silicon with deep pits that trap light/radiation so efficiently the silcion looks like black ash.
re: the sand thing
I was checking my web page hits, and figured there must be a mistake. You have a few readers!
Just to be clear– I had no intention of trying to upstage the artform so beautifully created by Tibetan monks. Think about it: two stepper motors and a computer program vs. ten or so very inspired humans.
Thanks for the mention.
