How Australia cheated East Timor of its oil

[Goenitz]

Since the 1960s, #Australia has attempted to assert sovereignty over the #TimorSea, sometimes resorting to underhanded tactics to get its way.

No surprises here! How the UN Forces descended overnight, and split Timor up wasnt out of love for the natives.

@Indos @jamahir
how much oil that sea has? and any other resources?

 

[Globenim]

Democracy, Peace and Rule of Law preaching, genocidal colonial regimes splitting and murdering an islands population out of the way just to take their oil, while profitting from internal conflicts they instigated themself with arms sales as well.

They really do like that script...

These countries steal land and sea area and resources and then sit up and claim to be champions of law and order and freedom.
All that is coming to an end with China getting closer to timor.

Mahatir called the West - Pirates! They see your resources and they'll do anything to get their hands on it.

We have to admit that Indonesia dont have right to keep East Timor. We invaded the region in the past

So what right Australia has on east Timor?

I dont get your question here. East Timor is an independent state now

@Indos @jamahir

Not that much of course, if it is that large, East Timor would likely be another Brunei or Kuwait by now, but it is still quite significant for them.

You really think Australia treat East Timor as sovereign nation?

Goenitz, do you have such a vid on resources in the polar regions ?

Also, do you have info on sapphire mining ? I am interested because it seems that Silicon-on-Sapphire process computer circuits are more resistant to radiation ( space applications ).

 

[Whizzack]

The irony is that when East Timor was still with Indonesia, we didn't exploit the oil & gas in their area at all... it was still intact when they got their independence... while at the same time we build a whole lot infrastructure there (there was basically nothing there when we occupied it)... but once separated, Australia immediately sucked them dry of their oil... but of course when it comes to East Timor, Indonesia is the Devil, while Australia is the Knight in shining armor... Lucky for East TImor that China is now available to assist them...

Nope

I suggest study/watch videos about new solar cell/solar tiles by Tesla. May be it can give you some related material/ideas.

One very interesting suggestion on that page was of another battery system presented by the same gentleman. This presentation ( link ) was about an Australian company which has devised a battery that can generate Hydrogen from tap water, store it safely and when power is needed run the Hydrogen through fuel cells to generate electricity for a small house.

Also, I am waiting for the prototype of the Nano Diamond Battery from the American company NDB. This battery will use Carbon-14 waste material from nuclear reactors to directly convert the radioactivity to electricity. The battery is supposed to be scalable and modular. The company says that depending on the application ( which can be anything ) the longevity can from 28,000 years ( like a sensor ) to nine years ( like a cell phone ). Please do read and watch the interesting material on the site. I will just quote one page :

APPLICATIONS

Universal applicability for countless opportunities

Automotive

NDB can be used to further the electric vehicle revolution, pushing the industry into never seen before indicators of efficiency and longevity. NDB is ideally positioned to contribute and lead change in this industry by addressing the primary bottleneck in EV vehicles, the battery, one that can last as long as the vehicle’s does.

Aerospace

The human desire to explore space is fueled by the excitement of exploring the unknown. Recent advances in space technology and the rise of the first manned electric aircrafts have led to increasing demand on their battery systems, hindered by concerns regarding longevity and safety. Satellites and space vehicles rely heavily on solar power which can be disrupted by hash space environment. NDB can be utilized to power drones, electric aircrafts, space rovers and stations whilst allowing for longer activity.

Consumer electronics

With NDB, every device you own, be it a smartphone or a laptop, can contain a miniature power generator, thus negating the need for constant charging, all whilst delivering a cost-effective solution to countering declining sales for manufacturers. Benefits include power outlet independent devices, increased device computation power and even the opportunity for the rise of personal quantum computing.

Medical Technology

In situ medical devices and implantable such as hearing aids and pacemakers respectively can benefit from long battery life in a smaller package with added benefit of safety and longevity.

Industrial

NDB’s safety, power output, and universality transforms this technology into an ideal industrial partner to bring power to many routine applications and those that are difficult to implement. Data centers, remote locations, and hostile environment applications of NDB make it an outstanding promise for productivity and futuristic applications.

I prefer this video, funny.
