Must have been Japanese torpedo ship
roughly tube with a very thick wall and spherical ending (it has to survive 100+ atm under high temperature and neutron irradiation - weakens everything over time)
as i understand, this is what bellingcat uses as a major source of data when reporting on russian activities
“It is one of the paradoxes of modern Russia: on the one hand, these services are illegal and rely on leaked data, yet on the other, they are far more convenient for day-to-day police work than the multitude of official departmental databases,”
gaben on piracy: "We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem,"
There is a thermal energy storage included as s major part. This works because compressing CO2 to 55atm adiabatically heats it up to some 450-ish C, so that heat is pretty high grade, and only the final stage cools it down with heat exchanger open to air. In discharging direction, some heat is taken from outside air to evaporate part of CO2 and heat stored is used up
compressors, turbines (like steam turbines), piping, some of which heat-resistant (500C), container for liquid carbon dioxide, lots of plastic for the bubble, something for thermal storage, dry and clean carbon dioxide, these aren't unusual or restricted resources, don't depend on critical raw materials or anything like that
Compressed air without heat recovery is more like 30%, so this is huge
Carbon dioxide can be liquefied relatively easily which is what i guess makes this efficient
wood, magnesium, aluminum, plastics, they say titanium is bad, but i'd expect iron, nickel, manganese, tungsten, silver, maybe zinc to be worse
that town is just a bit north to border with chechenya, going in straight line from there to teheran overflies only russian, azeri and iranian airspace. the only nato member nearby is turkey, and you have to go out of the way to hit it. azeri-iranian relations are suboptimal, but even then they can go over caspian if they want to avoid it
map would explain it much better
