2025-05-09 23:10:14I. Historical Foundations of U.S. Monetary Architecture
The early monetary system of the United States was built atop inherited commodity money conventions from Europe’s maritime economies. Silver and gold coins—primarily Spanish pieces of eight, Dutch guilders, and other foreign specie—formed the basis of colonial commerce. These units were already integrated into international trade and piracy networks and functioned with natural compatibility across England, France, Spain, and Denmark. Lacking a centralized mint or formal currency, the U.S. adopted these forms de facto.
As security risks and the practical constraints of physical coinage mounted, banks emerged to warehouse specie and issue redeemable certificates. These certificates evolved into fiduciary media—claims on specie not actually in hand. Banks observed over time that substantial portions of reserves remained unclaimed for years. This enabled fractional reserve banking: issuing more claims than reserves held, so long as redemption demand stayed low. The practice was inherently unstable, prone to panics and bank runs, prompting eventual centralization through the formation of the Federal Reserve in 1913.
Following the Civil War and unstable reinstatements of gold convertibility, the U.S. sought global monetary stability. After World War II, the Bretton Woods system formalized the U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency. The dollar was nominally backed by gold, but most international dollars were held offshore and recycled into U.S. Treasuries. The Nixon Shock of 1971 eliminated the gold peg, converting the dollar into pure fiat. Yet offshore dollar demand remained, sustained by oil trade mandates and the unique role of Treasuries as global reserve assets.
II. The Structure of Fiduciary Media and Treasury Demand
Under this system, foreign trade surpluses with the U.S. generate excess dollars. These surplus dollars are parked in U.S. Treasuries, thereby recycling trade imbalances into U.S. fiscal liquidity. While technically loans to the U.S. government, these purchases act like interest-only transfers—governments receive yield, and the U.S. receives spendable liquidity without principal repayment due in the short term. Debt is perpetually rolled over, rarely extinguished.
This creates an illusion of global subsidy: U.S. deficits are financed via foreign capital inflows that, in practice, function more like financial tribute systems than conventional debt markets. The underlying asset—U.S. Treasury debt—functions as the base reserve asset of the dollar system, replacing gold in post-Bretton Woods monetary logic.
III. Emergence of Tether and the Parastatal Dollar
Tether (USDT), as a private issuer of dollar-denominated tokens, mimics key central bank behaviors while operating outside the regulatory perimeter. It mints tokens allegedly backed 1:1 by U.S. dollars or dollar-denominated securities (mostly Treasuries). These tokens circulate globally, often in jurisdictions with limited banking access, and increasingly serve as synthetic dollar substitutes.
If USDT gains dominance as the preferred medium of exchange—due to technological advantages, speed, programmability, or access—it displaces Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) not through devaluation, but through functional obsolescence. Gresham’s Law inverts: good money (more liquid, programmable, globally transferable USDT) displaces bad (FRNs) even if both maintain a nominal 1:1 parity.
Over time, this preference translates to a systemic demand shift. Actors increasingly use Tether instead of FRNs, especially in global commerce, digital marketplaces, or decentralized finance. Tether tokens effectively become shadow base money.
IV. Interaction with Commercial Banking and Redemption Mechanics
Under traditional fractional reserve systems, commercial banks issue loans denominated in U.S. dollars, expanding the money supply. When borrowers repay loans, this destroys the created dollars and contracts monetary elasticity. If borrowers repay in USDT instead of FRNs:
- Banks receive a non-Fed liability (USDT).
- USDT is not recognized as reserve-eligible within the Federal Reserve System.
- Banks must either redeem USDT for FRNs, or demand par-value conversion from Tether to settle reserve requirements and balance their books.
This places redemption pressure on Tether and threatens its 1:1 peg under stress. If redemption latency, friction, or cost arises, USDT’s equivalence to FRNs is compromised. Conversely, if banks are permitted or compelled to hold USDT as reserve or regulatory capital, Tether becomes a de facto reserve issuer.
In this scenario, banks may begin demanding loans in USDT, mirroring borrower behavior. For this to occur sustainably, banks must secure Tether liquidity. This creates two options: - Purchase USDT from Tether or on the secondary market, collateralized by existing fiat. - Borrow USDT directly from Tether, using bank-issued debt as collateral.
The latter mirrors Federal Reserve discount window operations. Tether becomes a lender of first resort, providing monetary elasticity to the banking system by creating new tokens against promissory assets—exactly how central banks function.
V. Structural Consequences: Parallel Central Banking
If Tether begins lending to commercial banks, issuing tokens backed by bank notes or collateralized debt obligations: - Tether controls the expansion of broad money through credit issuance. - Its balance sheet mimics a central bank, with Treasuries and bank debt as assets and tokens as liabilities. - It intermediates between sovereign debt and global liquidity demand, replacing the Federal Reserve’s open market operations with its own issuance-redemption cycles.
Simultaneously, if Tether purchases U.S. Treasuries with FRNs received through token issuance, it: - Supplies the Treasury with new liquidity (via bond purchases). - Collects yield on government debt. - Issues a parallel form of U.S. dollars that never require redemption—an interest-only loan to the U.S. government from a non-sovereign entity.
In this context, Tether performs monetary functions of both a central bank and a sovereign wealth fund, without political accountability or regulatory transparency.
VI. Endgame: Institutional Inversion and Fed Redundancy
This paradigm represents an institutional inversion:
- The Federal Reserve becomes a legacy issuer.
- Tether becomes the operational base money provider in both retail and interbank contexts.
- Treasuries remain the foundational reserve asset, but access to them is mediated by a private intermediary.
- The dollar persists, but its issuer changes. The State becomes a fiscal agent of a decentralized financial ecosystem, not its monetary sovereign.
Unless the Federal Reserve reasserts control—either by absorbing Tether, outlawing its instruments, or integrating its tokens into the reserve framework—it risks becoming irrelevant in the daily function of money.
Tether, in this configuration, is no longer a derivative of the dollar—it is the dollar, just one level removed from sovereign control. The future of monetary sovereignty under such a regime is post-national and platform-mediated.

The global financial system is creaking under its own weight. The IMF is urging banks to shore up capital, cut risk, and brace for impact. Basel III is their answer, a last-ditch effort to reinforce a brittle foundation.
But behind the scenes, a quieter revolution is under way.
Bitcoin, the world’s first stateless digital asset, is no longer on the sidelines. It’s entering the Basel conversation: not by invitation, but by inevitability.
Basel III: The System’s Self-Diagnosis
Basel III is more than a technical rulebook. It’s a confession: an admission that the global banking system is vulnerable. Created in the aftermath of 2008, it calls for: • Stronger capital reserves: So banks can survive losses. • Lower leverage: To reduce the domino effect of overexposure. • Liquidity buffers: To weather short-term shocks without collapsing.
But here’s the kicker: these rules are hostile to anything outside the fiat system. Bitcoin gets hit with a punitive 1,250% risk weight. That means for every $1 of exposure, banks must hold $1 in capital. The message from regulators? “You can hold Bitcoin, but you’ll pay for it.”
Yet that fear: based framing misses a bigger truth: Bitcoin doesn’t just survive in this environment. It thrives in it.
Bitcoin: A Parallel System, Built on Hard Rules
Where Basel III imposes “fiat discipline” from the top down, Bitcoin enforces it from the bottom up: with code, math, and transparency.
Bitcoin is not just a hedge. It’s a structural antidote to systemic fragility.
Volatility: A Strategic Asset
Yes, Bitcoin is volatile. But in a system that devalues fiat on a schedule, volatility is simply the cost of freedom. Under Basel III, banks are expected to build capital buffers during economic expansions.
What asset allows you to build those buffers faster than Bitcoin in a bull market?
When the cycle turns, those reserves act as shock absorbers: converting volatility into resilience. It’s anti-fragility in motion.
Liquidity: Real, Deep, and Global
Bitcoin settled over $19 trillion in transactions in 2024. That’s not hypothetical liquidity. it’s real, measurable flow. Unlike traditional high-quality liquid assets (HQLAs), Bitcoin is: • Available 24/7 • Borderless • Not dependent on central banks
By traditional definitions, Bitcoin is rapidly qualifying for HQLA status. Even if regulators aren’t ready to admit it.
Diversification: Breaking the Fiat Dependency
Basel III is designed to pull banks back into the fiat matrix. But Bitcoin offers an escape hatch. Strategic Bitcoin reserves are not about speculation, they’re insurance. For family offices, institutions, and sovereign funds, Bitcoin is the lifeboat when the fiat ship starts taking on water.
Regulatory Realignment: The System Reacts
The Basel Committee’s new rules on crypto exposures went live in January 2025. Around the world, regulators are scrambling to define their stance. Every new restriction placed on Bitcoin only strengthens its legitimacy, as more institutions ask: Why so much resistance, if it’s not a threat?
Bitcoin doesn’t need permission. It’s already being adopted by over 150 public companies, forward-looking states, and a new class of self-sovereign individuals.
Conclusion: The Real Question
This isn’t just about Bitcoin fitting into Basel III.
The real question is: How long can Basel III remain relevant in a world where Bitcoin exists?
Bitcoin is not the risk. It’s the reality check. And it might just be the strongest capital buffer the system has ever seen.
Gradually then suddenly.

I've been eager to share my thoughts on "Return of the Strong Gods" by R.R. Reno since I finished it a week ago.
I found this book incredibly insightful. @SimpleStacker's excellent review prompted me to pick it up, and I'm glad I did. While I won't be providing a full review, I will share some of the key insights and thoughts that resonated with me.
Reno masterfully dissects the sociological underpinnings of the political shifts in the US and the Western world over the past decade and a half. His analysis of the rise of populism and nationalism is compelling and rings true to my personal observations. Reno's central thesis is that post-WW2, the West embraced "weaker gods"—ideals like democracy, pluralism, and liberalism—fearing a repeat of the strong nationalistic sentiments that led to Hitler's rise. He argues that this shift has left many people feeling culturally homeless and desperate for strong leadership that listens to their grievances.
A significant portion of Reno's argument is built on the ideas of Karl Popper, a philosopher I was unfamiliar with before reading this book. Popper's work "The Open Society and Its Enemies" has significantly influenced post-war consensus, which Reno argues has led to a disconnect between the political elite and the common people. This disconnect, he posits, is a primary driver of populist sentiments.
Reno also delves into economics, discussing Friedrich Hayek and his agreement with some of Popper's positions. This intersection of philosophy and economics provides a unique lens through which to view the political landscape. Reno's mention of the Treaty of Versailles as a catalyst for Hitler's rise is a point often overlooked in discussions about WW2. He argues that the punitive measures imposed on Germany created an environment ripe for a strongman to emerge.
One of the most compelling aspects of Reno's argument is his explanation of how the political elite often lose touch with the values and wishes of the people they represent. He draws a powerful analogy between cultural homelessness and the desperation that drives people to seek strong leadership. This section of the book particularly resonated with me, as it aligns with my own observations of the political climate.
I would have liked Reno to start his analysis with Woodrow Wilson, whose "making the world safe for democracy" slogan embodied a form of Christian nationalism. Wilson's ideals and the post-WW1 environment laid the groundwork for the open society movement, which Reno critiques. Exploring this historical context could have strengthened Reno's argument.
Reno occasionally conflates economic liberalism with libertinism, which I found to be a minor flaw in an otherwise strong argument. He rightly points out the need for moral ethics in society but seems to overlook the distinction between economic freedom and moral laxity. Reno's discussion of Milton Friedman's ideas further highlights this confusion. While Reno argues that free trade has contributed to many of our modern ills, I believe the issue lies more with nation-state trade agreements like NAFTA, which are not true examples of free trade.
Another area where I disagree with Reno is his conflation of the nation with the state. Nations are cultural entities that predate and can exist independently of states. Reno's argument would be stronger if he acknowledged this distinction, as it would clarify his points about national pride and cultural heritage.
Reno's final chapters offer a cautionary tale about the return of strong gods and the danger of making them idols. He warns against authoritarianism and the overreach of the state, advocating for a balance that respects cultural heritage without succumbing to nationalism.
In conclusion, "Return of the Strong Gods" is a thought-provoking exploration of the political and cultural shifts of our time. Reno's insights are valuable, and his arguments, while not without flaws, provide a fresh perspective on the rise of populism and nationalism. I recommend this book to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the forces shaping our world today.

Information ohne Reflexion ist geistiger Flugsand. \ Ernst Reinhardt
Der lateinische Ausdruck «Quo vadis» als Frage nach einer Entwicklung oder Ausrichtung hat biblische Wurzeln. Er wird aber auch in unserer Alltagssprache verwendet, laut Duden meist als Ausdruck von Besorgnis oder Skepsis im Sinne von: «Wohin wird das führen?»
Der Sinn und Zweck von so mancher politischen Entscheidung erschließt sich heutzutage nicht mehr so leicht, und viele Trends können uns Sorge bereiten. Das sind einerseits sehr konkrete Themen wie die zunehmende Militarisierung und die geschichtsvergessene Kriegstreiberei in Europa, deren Feindbildpflege aktuell beim Gedenken an das Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs beschämende Formen annimmt.
Auch das hohe Gut der Schweizer Neutralität scheint immer mehr in Gefahr. Die schleichende Bewegung der Eidgenossenschaft in Richtung NATO und damit weg von einer Vermittlerposition erhält auch durch den neuen Verteidigungsminister Anschub. Martin Pfister möchte eine stärkere Einbindung in die europäische Verteidigungsarchitektur, verwechselt bei der Argumentation jedoch Ursache und Wirkung.
Das Thema Gesundheit ist als Zugpferd für Geschäfte und Kontrolle offenbar schon zuverlässig etabliert. Die hauptsächlich privat finanzierte Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) ist dabei durch ein Netzwerk von sogenannten «Collaborating Centres» sogar so weit in nationale Einrichtungen eingedrungen, dass man sich fragen kann, ob diese nicht von Genf aus gesteuert werden.
Das Schweizer Bundesamt für Gesundheit (BAG) übernimmt in dieser Funktion ebenso von der WHO definierte Aufgaben und Pflichten wie das deutsche Robert Koch-Institut (RKI). Gegen die Covid-«Impfung» für Schwangere, die das BAG empfiehlt, obwohl es fehlende wissenschaftliche Belege für dessen Schutzwirkung einräumt, formiert sich im Tessin gerade Widerstand.
Unter dem Stichwort «Gesundheitssicherheit» werden uns die Bestrebungen verkauft, essenzielle Dienste mit einer biometrischen digitalen ID zu verknüpfen. Das dient dem Profit mit unseren Daten und führt im Ergebnis zum Verlust unserer demokratischen Freiheiten. Die deutsche elektronische Patientenakte (ePA) ist ein Element mit solchem Potenzial. Die Schweizer Bürger haben gerade ein Referendum gegen das revidierte E-ID-Gesetz erzwungen. In Thailand ist seit Anfang Mai für die Einreise eine «Digital Arrival Card» notwendig, die mit ihrer Gesundheitserklärung einen Impfpass «durch die Hintertür» befürchten lässt.
Der massive Blackout auf der iberischen Halbinsel hat vermehrt Fragen dazu aufgeworfen, wohin uns Klimawandel-Hysterie und «grüne» Energiepolitik führen werden. Meine Kollegin Wiltrud Schwetje ist dem nachgegangen und hat in mehreren Beiträgen darüber berichtet. Wenig überraschend führen interessante Spuren mal wieder zu internationalen Großbanken, Globalisten und zur EU-Kommission.
Zunehmend bedenklich ist aber ganz allgemein auch die manifestierte Spaltung unserer Gesellschaften. Angesichts der tiefen und sorgsam gepflegten Gräben fällt es inzwischen schwer, eine zukunftsfähige Perspektive zu erkennen. Umso begrüßenswerter sind Initiativen wie die Kölner Veranstaltungsreihe «Neue Visionen für die Zukunft». Diese möchte die Diskussionskultur reanimieren und dazu beitragen, dass Menschen wieder ohne Angst und ergebnisoffen über kontroverse Themen der Zeit sprechen.
Quo vadis – Wohin gehen wir also? Die Suche nach Orientierung in diesem vermeintlichen Chaos führt auch zur Reflexion über den eigenen Lebensweg. Das ist positiv insofern, als wir daraus Kraft schöpfen können. Ob derweil der neue Papst, dessen «Vorgänger» Petrus unsere Ausgangsfrage durch die christliche Legende zugeschrieben wird, dabei eine Rolle spielt, muss jede/r selbst wissen. Mir persönlich ist allein schon ein Führungsanspruch wie der des Petrusprimats der römisch-katholischen Kirche eher suspekt.

"Kleines Erste-Hilfe-Büchlein gegen Propaganda" von 2023. „Normalerweise hört man das Wort „Propaganda“ im Mainstream-Diskurs nur, wenn es um Dinge geht, die andere Länder ihren eigenen Bürgern antun oder Teil ausländischer Beeinflussungsoperationen sind, obwohl in der überwältigenden Mehrheit der Fälle, in denen wir in unserem täglichen Leben Propaganda erlebt haben, der Anruf aus dem eigenen Haus kam.“
https://soundcloud.com/radiomuenchen/helge-buttkereit-medienkritik-als-trotziger-idealismus?
In der Folge dokumentiert sie einige gravierende Beispiele aus den US-Medien. Auch in Deutschland fehlt es den Massenmedien an der nötigen Distanz zur Regierung und ihrem Werte-Narrativ. Was umso gefährlicher ist, da sie über „Definitionsmacht“ verfügen. Auch wenn wir selbst diese Medien nicht konsumieren, so können wir doch sicher sein, dass die große Mehrheit der Bürger sie konsultiert und damit deren Sicht auf die Welt massiv beeinflusst wird. „Wenn wir die Tagesschau einschalten, erfahren wir nichts über die ‘Wirklichkeit’. Wir lernen vielmehr, wer es geschafft hat, seine Sicht auf die Wirklichkeit in die Propaganda-Matrix einzuschreiben“, verrät der Medienwissenschaftler Michael Meyen in seinem Buch "Die Propaganda-Matrix". Nun gilt jedoch die Presse in der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung als „Vierte Gewalt“ der Demokratie. Ihre Aufgabe wäre es demnach, die zunehmend verflochtenen Staatsgewalten Legislative, Exekutive und Judikative zu kontrollieren. Die Realität sieht anders aus. Dabei übersieht selbst die immer häufiger auftretende Medienkritik, dass die „Vierte Gewalt“ von den Herrschenden nie in dieser Funktion gedacht war – schließlich waren und sind die Medien seit je her in den Händen von Regierungen und Konzernen, schreibt unser Autor Helge Buttkereit. Hören Sie seinen zweiteiligen Beitrag „Medienkritik als trotziger Idealismus“, der zunächst beim Magazin Multipolar erschienen war: multipolar-magazin.de/artikel/medien…tik-idealismus

Bitcoin controversies are not new, in fact, bitcoin’s past has been riddled with one controversy after another. From the viewpoint of a financial investor, controversies are not good. They drive investor fear by amplifying uncertainty and introducing doubt about the future viability of the project. Although bitcoin is an investable asset, and there are certainly individuals, companies and countries who are investing in bitcoin strictly as a new, diversified financial asset that shows growth characteristics the likes of which humanity has rarely seen, bitcoin is not exclusively a financial instrument. Bitcoin is a network that is only as strong as the people running the miners who create the blocks, the nodes that propagate the blocks, and the users who hold the keys.
In this post I do not care to share my view on any of the latest bitcoin controversies, whether that be about OP_RETURNs, MSTR, Blackrock, MSTY, inscriptions, soft fork proposals, mempools, bitcoin strategic reserves, 21, chain surveillance, on-chain privacy, shitcoins projects, or anything else that anyone cares to opine about on Nostr or X to signal their support or opposition for what they think is critical to the success or failure of bitcoin. What I do care to share here is the ONLY winning strategy to defend bitcoin no matter what your opinion its future: USE THE TOOLS, RUN THE CODE, HOLD YOUR KEYS, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
In my humble opinion, the biggest problem with the current batch of bitcoin controversies is that so many people are sharing their opinions and expressing their fears about the future of bitcoin who are not even using the tools; they aren’t running the code, supporting the network or even holding their own keys. Everyone is free to share their opinions about the future of bitcoin and allowing everyone a voice is critical if we are serious about adopting the best ideas. Many visionaries have participated in the growth and development of bitcoin up to this point; we are truly standing on the shoulders of giants.
But before jumping to conclusions and spreading opinions about whether people are good faith or bad faith actors in the bitcoin space, I believe we should all hold ourselves to a certain standard. Set a minimum threshold of education for yourself before you jump on one side or the other of the latest controversy. We have tools that offer a level of sovereignty that is unparalleled in the legacy financial world, are you using them?Don’t like what MSTR is doing? Hold your keys in cold storage, then share your opinion.
Think Blackrock wants to use Bitcoin to launch a dystopian new world order agenda? Tell everyone to run a node, implement on-chain privacy strategies and hold their keys in cold storage.
Are Bitcoin developers making changes you don’t like? Use an alternative implementation, get a Bitaxe and construct your own block templates; for almost everyone this will be a stronger signal than shitposting or spreading FUD on the socials.
If you really want to defend bitcoin, think about how you are using it today. Who are you trusting to put your transactions into a block? Who are you trusting to propagate your transactions across the network? Who are you trusting to hold your keys? Who estimates your transaction fees? If you don’t trust the people who you are currently depending on, move your trust elsewhere, or increase your sovereignty and rely on yourself for some, or all, of these functions.
We make bitcoin what it is today, and we will define what bitcoin will be in the future. If we want to defend bitcoin it is our responsibility to keep it as decentralized as possible and that starts with every individual using the tools, running the code, doing the research and taking responsibility for their money.

Someone asked for my thoughts, so I’ll share them thoughtfully. I’m not here to dictate how to promote Nostr—I’m still learning about it myself. While I’m not new to Nostr, freedom tech is a newer space for me. I’m skilled at advocating for topics I deeply understand, but freedom tech isn’t my expertise, so take my words with a grain of salt. Nothing I say is set in stone.
Those who need Nostr the most are the ones most vulnerable to censorship on other platforms right now. Reaching them requires real-time awareness of global issues and the dynamic relationships between governments and tech providers, which can shift suddenly. Effective Nostr promoters must grasp this and adapt quickly.
The best messengers are people from or closely tied to these at-risk regions—those who truly understand the local political and cultural dynamics. They can connect with those in need when tensions rise. Ideal promoters are rational, trustworthy, passionate about Nostr, but above all, dedicated to amplifying people’s voices when it matters most.
Forget influencers, corporate-backed figures, or traditional online PR—it comes off as inauthentic, corny, desperate and forced. Nostr’s promotion should be grassroots and organic, driven by a few passionate individuals who believe in Nostr and the communities they serve.
The idea that “people won’t join Nostr due to lack of reach” is nonsense. Everyone knows X’s “reach” is mostly with bots. If humans want real conversations, Nostr is the place. X is great for propaganda, but Nostr is for the authentic voices of the people.
Those spreading Nostr must be so passionate they’re willing to onboard others, which is time-consuming but rewarding for the right person. They’ll need to make Nostr and onboarding a core part of who they are. I see no issue with that level of dedication. I’ve been known to get that way myself at times. It’s fun for some folks.
With love, I suggest not adding Bitcoin promotion with Nostr outreach. Zaps already integrate that element naturally. (Still promote within the Bitcoin ecosystem, but this is about reaching vulnerable voices who needed Nostr yesterday.)
To promote Nostr, forget conventional strategies. “Influencers” aren’t the answer. “Influencers” are not the future. A trusted local community member has real influence—reach them. Connect with people seeking Nostr’s benefits but lacking the technical language to express it. This means some in the Nostr community might need to step outside of the Bitcoin bubble, which is uncomfortable but necessary. Thank you in advance to those who are willing to do that.
I don’t know who is paid to promote Nostr, if anyone. This piece isn’t shade. But it’s exhausting to see innocent voices globally silenced on corporate platforms like X while Nostr exists. Last night, I wondered: how many more voices must be censored before the Nostr community gets uncomfortable and thinks creatively to reach the vulnerable?
A warning: the global need for censorship-resistant social media is undeniable. If Nostr doesn’t make itself known, something else will fill that void. Let’s start this conversation.

A francia székhelyű Newcleo, az olasz dizájncég Pininfarina és az olasz hajógyártó Fincantieri bemutatták a TL-40 nevű, következő generációs, hajókra szánt nukleáris reaktor teljes méretű modelljét a 19. Velencei Építészeti Biennálén[1][2][5][6][7].
A TL-40 reaktor főbb jellemzői
- IV. generációs, ólom-hűtésű kis moduláris reaktor (SMR), amelyet nagy hajók meghajtására fejlesztettek ki[1][2][5][6].
- Kompakt, biztonságos és fenntartható: A reaktor passzív biztonsági rendszereket alkalmaz, amelyek a fizika törvényein keresztül kizárják a nukleáris balesetek lehetőségét[2][5][6].
- Nukleáris hulladék újrahasznosítása: A TL-40 képes újrafeldolgozott nukleáris hulladékot üzemanyagként használni, ezzel egyszerre járul hozzá az energiatermeléshez és a hulladékcsökkentéshez[1][2][5][6].
- Formatervezés és ipari háttér: A Pininfarina gondoskodott a dizájnról és a reaktor esztétikai megjelenéséről, míg a Fincantieri a hajógyártási tapasztalatát adta hozzá[1][2][5][6][7].
- Nyitott konfiguráció: A reaktor vázája lehetővé teszi a látogatók számára, hogy belülről is megismerjék a technológiát, interaktív módon[1][2][5].
Technológiai és környezeti jelentőség
- Dekarbonizáció: A fejlesztés célja, hogy a nukleáris energiát a hajózás szektorában is a szén-dioxid-kibocsátás csökkentésének eszközeként alkalmazzák[1][2][5][6].
- Európai hulladék hasznosítása: A jelenleg Európában tárolt nukleáris hulladék elegendő lenne a kontinens villamosenergia-igényének fedezésére évszázadokon át, ha ilyen típusú reaktorokban hasznosítanák[2][5][6].
- Kreatív szemlélet: A projekt célja a nukleáris energia társadalmi megítélésének javítása, bemutatva, hogy az lehet egyszerre biztonságos, esztétikus és fenntartható[1][5][6][7].
Együttműködés és jövőbeli tervek
- Folyamatos együttműködés: A Newcleo és a Fincantieri 2023 óta dolgoznak együtt a tengeri alkalmazások fejlesztésén[2][5][6][7].
- Kutatás-fejlesztés: A Pininfarina a Newcleo franciaországi (Chusclan) nukleáris üzemanyag kutató-fejlesztő központjának tervezésében is részt vesz[2][5][6][7].
- Első demonstrációs reaktor: A Newcleo célja, hogy 2031-re bemutassa az első demonstrációs reaktort, 2033-ra pedig kereskedelmi forgalomba hozza azt[8].
- Földi alkalmazás: A vállalat már megkezdte a földi, ólom-hűtésű LFR-AS-30 reaktor telephelyének előkészítését Franciaországban (Chinon régió)[8].
- Európai támogatás: Az LFR dizájn 2024 októberében felkerült az Európai Ipari Szövetség támogatásra javasolt SMR-listájára[8].
Idézetek a projekt vezetőitől
„Ez nem a nagyapáink reaktora. Fenntartható, előremutató technológia, amely a való világ és a klímaváltozás kihívásaira készült.”
(Stefano Buono, a Newcleo vezérigazgatója)[1][5][6][7]„A dizájn stratégiai szerepet játszik a fenntartható energia megoldások fejlesztésében, biztosítva a társadalmi és környezeti szempontok teljes integrációját az innovációs folyamat során.”

I know, I know, this is really throw together. The boot dryer/warmer is actually just balancing on there. I need to design (or have designed) something WAY simpler and just print that.
...But does it work? YES! It works like...really well!
Here's the original product:
It was on clearance at Home Depot, and I was like, "wouldn't that be more efficient if it came with a bitcoin rebate?" Anyway, anybody here do CAD design? I'm sure this would be way more efficient if I just had the tubes and not the whole box. My next step will be to gut the innards of that box, but it'd be better to just start off with something clean.
