    liquid nitrogen and not electricity doing the cooling

    that’s not how thermodynamics work. do you think a cryogenic liquid stays at cryogenic temps by itself? even in a storage dewar there’s heat transfer.

        Cryonics is not anything like what the article depicts, it’s a strawman talking about 50 years ago. Nobody in this thread has the slightest idea how they operate and is just a big misinformation circle jerk unfortunately with dozens of upvotes.

        aaaah but you are an expert it seems? where did your expertise come from? genuine query.

        A human bicycle could power most Cryonics facilities indefinitely (yes they do have these on site).

        would love to see evidence of this.

                Still don’t understand your point, if any

                this is obvious. you just do not get it, at all. still waiting to see that bike.

                    100W per person

                    per what? hour, day, week?

                    and your bike stuff - oh well no they don’t have bikes at the facilities that was all bunk lol

                    you simply aren’t credible mate. I’ve never posited that they require a power plant. But they do require power, and it’s not exactly insignificant for any facility holding more than a few dewars.

                    RE: Thermodynamics, your original statement said that they didn’t require cooling or input - and that’s false. Sure you can get liquid nitrogen delivered from offsite - but what did it take to make it, transport it, and pump it around? Offsite doesn’t mean it’s free. It’s gotta be condensed somewhere. Pressure swing adsorption isn’t free. You can’t put out a bucket and wait for nitrogen to condense. You simply moved the requirement from ‘gotta make it’ to ‘gotta pay someone to make it and deliver it’. Which actually makes it’s impact larger. Creating it, moving it around, pumping it - all require - what’s that?

                    POWER.

                    Such a silly silly ‘debate’. So petty and insulting, while certain you’re an expert because…? lmgtf eyeballs and pemdas didn’t do you much good here.

                    Have a great day.
