It sounds like simply running the engine on the ground for a few hours would have been a much cheaper way to debug this issue. Safer, also.

See now while I love this play I don't find that exchange notable. It's very plain, no? The implication is that one thought the other was going to say something but he wasn't. This exact dialogue takes place in real life regularly.
The alternative reading, where an entire exchange cleverly takes place without any substance, seems almost mistaken to me? In context it seems very clear it's "I thought you...[were going to say something.]" "No." "Ah."
This exact dialogue takes place in real life regularly.
One reason that it is funny is that it plays against that.
We the audience maybe forget for a moment that we are not watching real life. We are watching a drama or entertainment. So we expect something relevant to happen. That’s the convention.
The exchange plays with that expectation. It deliberately forces us out of our pleasant illusion and makes think us about our real experience - we are sitting in a seat and watching a performance, which is happening at that moment.
And nothing happens, just the same as real life

From the article:
[Company] has tested a small model of the reservoirs in wave tanks and off the coast of Reggio Calabria, Italy. It’s now deploying a pilot of the floating components in advance of a full demonstration plant. By 2026, it’s hoping to deploy several commercial projects at sites around the world.
At full size, the turbines would generate around 6 to 7 megawatts of electricity each, and there will be one for every 100 meters of pipe. Deeper sites would have more storage potential, and each commercial site would host multiple reservoirs. Sizable hopes to deliver energy storage for €20 per kilowatt-hour (about $23), about one-tenth what a grid-scale battery costs. —-
Testing in calm reservoire is different from potentially .wild offshore (ocean/sea)
What happens to 100-200 m long pipe in underwater waves when e.g. a hurricane or a storm comes?

That’s an excellent question, but it is also similar to asking what will happen to wind turbines in a storm.
Maybe some will break. Maybe that’s an acceptable outcome. Probably they can be improved to reduce that risk
How close is a linear box filter to what happens on low-resolution SSDs? It seems like it would be the same thing. I wonder if this is holy grail for recovering license plates, etc. from grainy surveillance footage of distant cars.

Maybe you meant CCDs? Not SSDs
