- -Actually, the latest I have heard is that cold plates will be used
- -for cooling
-
- What are cold plates? Does that mean a heat pump driven by running power
- into a thermocouple?
-
- -and the sole reason for high pressure is health. The fact
- -that people live in high elevations like Denver and Mexico City, where
- -the atmospheric pressure is lower than sea level does not hold much weight.
-
- Read the recent Scientific American article on altitude sickness. (Of course
- on Earth, reduced partial pressure of oxygen is the primary concern.)
