I was informed that Google cannot bring up my original thread because
someone has installed a censorship on that thread. All other threads in
sci.physics, sci.chem come up in Google except for the Archimedes
Plutonium thread on Earth Air Conditioner. Not the first time I have
been censored on the Internet.

So I just start a new thread.

In the old thread S-Harris replied with a figure of 10^-4
kilogram/meter^2. Which Harris then converts to 5,200 space shuttle
flights to cargo haul this aluminum.

That figure of Harris is hugely flawed. For one a package of aluminum
sequin contains 7,000 pieces and weighs 70 grams, not kilograms. So we
are talking more about 10^-2 grams. We may have to talk about meter^3
for volume instead of area. Harris was having in mind an umbrella of
aluminum whereas I was only thinking of a tiny aluminum sequin disk
per square meter, or volume meter. And I was only thinking of
installing along the Equator and 20 degrees north and south of the
equator in the Air Conditioner orbit.

So the 10^-2 grams and not 10^-4 kilograms turns Harris's 5,200 flights
into that of 5 flights. But I can do even better because instead of a
pure aluminum disk of 10^-2 grams I can use paper that is painted with
aluminum to reduce the weight as far as possible and so 5 flights now
becomes a mere one cargo flight haul by the space shuttle to the
space-station where the sequin is released in a equatorial orbit.

I mentioned Pinatubo volcano eruption circa 1994 or 1995 ??? And how
Pinatubo cooled Earth for that entire summer. So what is the aluminum
sequin equivalence to Pinatubo? Is it a one aluminum sequin per meter
cubed for 20 degrees north and south of the equator? Is it one sequin
or 2 sequin per meter cubed of plus and minus 20 degrees from Equator
that will cool Earth 1 degree centigrade per year on average?

So many questions: (1) will sequin stay in orbit for a reasonable
amount of time (2) will it cool effectively (3) will it get in the way
of space flights (4) it is benign when it falls back to Earth.
