Yup... they finally arrived... exactly as described! well.. almost...

The only minor differences are, these are the worlds first roadways you cannot drive a car on!

Its one of the worlds first solar installations that not only generates NO power, it actually requires electricity to run!

And Scott Brusaws (solar 'roadway' inventor) claim that LEDs will be perfectly visible in daylight wasnt entirely accurate.  Hell you can barely see these things when its so dark that the streetlights are still on!

As for what to do next.... Im swamped!

WaterSeer...... another indiegogo scam

Elon Musk and his interplanetary 'dream'

Billions in change... another billionaires dreams to power the world with bicycles!

....oh god... that 'what all the big oil companies don't want you to know how to save 60% on fuel' BS....

Please let me know what you would like to see! I hope you enjoy the upcoming content, and many thanks for your support!

First AMAZING Solar Roadway UNVEILED!

The words failure of epic proportion are thrown around a lot these days..... however Solar Roadways grand unveiling may have just raised the bar on what that actually means. We were promised roads that would generate power, be computer controlled, modular, replaceable, with programmable lights that would function as road markings that would be visible during the day.

WaterSeer would be interesting, but then ripping apart Elon Musk's delusional vision of putting a million people on Mars would be more satisfying I think.

This videos are good, but why are you posting the vids at first on YT for all and only after that for your patreons? And, as I wrote on YT "8:26 That part, and the other part of the conference, is much too silent." btw after that part suddenly much too loud.

Oh wow - I remember reading about this thing back in the day and nothing seemed to come of it - nice to see it actually here!

Its good to see you for the past few months back to science videos, the occasional feminist video and not brexit bullshit...

I'd really like to hear what you have to say about Elon musk's plans for mars. If your suggesting it's a lie or impossible then I was fooled.

I'm not TF, but it would be hard to claim that Musk's plan is a "lie", because he didn't really promise anything. He offered a vision for the future which, even according to him, was very optimistic. His presentation was basically one of the proposals for a way that humanity could be a multi-planet species. His contribution was to suggest that it could be achieved via reusable rockets. The only other way to get enough material into space, to the best of my knowledge, would be via space elevator. A third option would be to mine asteroids so we could build more in space, but the cost to launch humans would still be massive. His idea is less financially practical than a space elevator, and more expensive than asteroid mining. On the other hand, a space elevator may prove to be impossible in the real world, and asteroid mining might require Musk's plan to provide settlers and fuel anyway. His projected cost for a colonist is very, very optimistic - but it is within the bounds of physics. It's a useful number to have, as a goal and an inspiration to find more ways to reduce costs. But if I were a SpaceX investor, I would be worried. I'd much rather see Elon focus on projects with a realistic revenue potential, like bigger rockets to launch bigger satellites, which would work towards his goal anyway. There is a very real concern that the Mars plan could bankrupt SpaceX if it puts too much money and (more importantly) brainpower into it. It's easy enough to limit spending on a pet project, but it's very difficult to keep the top talent focused on the revenue-generating business.

This may be a late response, but there is a potential divergent development path that could make solar roadways energy efficient: e-ink. E-ink requires almost no energy to maintain an image, and good multi-color implementations have recently been demonstrated: <a href="http://www.eink.com/press_releases/e_ink_announces_advanced_color_epaper_05-24-2016.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.eink.com/press_releases/e_ink_announces_advanced_color_epaper_05-24-2016.html</a> It's far better than the prior poor attempts at coloration, but still in early prototype stages. This doesn't solve the problem of durability, cost, scratch resistance, reliability, or many others. But it does solve the problem of the weak LEDs (which can be left in, as illumination may still be desired during night time) and eases the heat management issue. So, solar roadways are still ridiculous, but one of the many problems can be solved. I'm working on starting my own YouTube channel (very slowly; life, work, perfectionism, and grad school take too much time) but will see if I can conduct some sort of test. Maybe I can see if light can transmit through a e-ink screen and reach the solar panel under it. It would be interesting to test.
