So in the early 1990s Scuderi began playing around with ways to improve its thermodynamics.
He points to one of the most time-tested principles in science: the first law of thermodynamics.
The emphasis is not on celestial mechanics and thermodynamics but on teamwork and the generation of practical ideas.
Yes, of course there are energy leakages in such a system: no getting around the laws of thermodynamics.
FORBES: Apple Wrongfoots Greenpeace over Renewable Power for the iCloud
It just needs the two major components to be cheap enough to overcome those darn laws of thermodynamics.

If he could do this at no cost, the naughty demon would break the second law of thermodynamics.
Using the basic principles of thermodynamics, it also speeds up the cooking process, and prevents foods from boiling over.
Their prices track higher with higher oil prices, and can never be cheaper because of the laws of thermodynamics.

If you lose money, you are doing something bad to the Earth's thermodynamics.
He is a specialist in thermodynamics and is a strong proponent of new and innovative energy sources and technologies.
FORBES: Here's To Secretary Chu And The End Of Energy's Dark Ages
Then along came Carmelo Scuderi, a retired thermodynamics expert who spent most of his career working in the defense industry.
It uses so-called passive systems for cooling, such as the gravity flow of water and natural circulation based on thermodynamics.
Across the river from Montgomery County, Thomas Jefferson High School in Alexandria, Va. offers Latin, Russian, Japanese, thermodynamics and artificial intelligence.
The humanists reveled in form and esthetics but knew next to nothing of gravity, magnetism or the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
But growth in the atoms-moving economy is moderated by inertia and thermodynamics.
As the laws of thermodynamics demand, it is then rapidly reradiated.
Rep. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.) accused the Republicans of trying to repeal the first law of thermodynamics and cause children all over the world to get asthma.
Nor even that it is possible to extract as useful work all the energy in gasoline or any other possible violation of the laws of thermodynamics.
William Rankine, a Scottish engineer and one of the fathers of thermodynamics, was the first to explain how these repeated stress reversals could cause cracks to propagate.
"The efficiency of conventional heat engines is limited both by the laws of thermodynamics and practical concerns over the cost of building and operating complex engines, " says Los Alamos researcher Scott Backhaus.
One model which materialists use for their reductive view of consciousness is from physics: for instance, in the reduction of thermodynamics to statistical mechanics, the temperature of a gas is explained in terms of the mean kinetic energy of its constituent molecules.
As valuable as is the tinkering with thermodynamics and mechanics, the revolution that the hardware suppliers are complicit in enabling comes from the addition and full integration of microprocessors--making dumb hardware smart, and most importantly, adding the native ability to connect to communications networks via BlueTooth and Zigbee, LONworks, Ethernet and the Internet.
Using thermodynamics principles and estimated weight gain for Americans between 1978 and 2005, Kevin Hall, a biological modeler at the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases estimated that the average American would need to shave off 220 calories per day to return to the average 1978 American's weight a hefty goal.
