The Ledger

Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.

clear all ✕

why aren't all 4 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable

Assertion Supported
Panthalassa nodes passively self-propel continuously using wave heave against their hulls
“We have the pumping action into the reservoir. We also have a shape towards the bottom of the system that pushes water backwards, so the system moves forward. The system is always moving forward. It's always moving forward as it moves up and down. And so all w…”

A 15-meter Panthalassa floating node receives over 2 MW of wave energy
“If you put an object that's, say, like, 15 meters across in this region, you can calculate how much energy is fluxing through you in the form of the waves, and it amounts to, like, well over a megawatt. You know, it's two two and a half megawatts on average in…”

Sheldon-Coulson: Panthalassa nodes span 10-30 meters wide and 70-100 meters deep
“A node is anywhere from 10 meters across at the top, like our Ocean Two that we did two years ago, and Ocean Three is about that as well but up to 30 meters across at the top. And you sort of get diminishing returns after about 25 or 30 meters, and then it goe…”

Panthalassa: Prototypes proved offshore compute, hydrogen production, and propulsion
“We've put a series of full-scale prototypes in the water. So Ocean One which was back in 2019 no, sorry, 2021. Ocean Two, which was 2024, Wave Hopper, which was also 2024. So a series of prototypes that have proven Computing, hydrogen production, propulsion op…”
