solar chimney

Neither the article on Solar chimney nor the one on Solar updraft tower mentions energy storage. They both seem to be forms of solar engergy collection and conversion with the former being a means of driving air ventilation and the latter being a means of electricity production. Hence, I propose removing solar chimney from the list of energy storage topics in this article. 67.86.73.252 (talk) 01:48, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

electromagnetic mass

On wikipedia the "article" on "Electromagnetic mass" takes you to a subsection on the Lorentz ether theory article. It should be noted that Lorentz's ether was largely abandoned in the early 20th century. A storage scheme based on energy mass equivalence based on say producing large quantities of antimatter seems quite removed from practical applicability. The energy used to produce antimatter is rather high and currently only produces femtogram quantities over years of operation at places like Fermilab, CERN, KEK and the like. Recovering the energy of an antimatter-matter collision is currently very inefficient and lossy. Hence I suspect that electromagnetic mass should be removed from the list in this article. 67.86.73.252 (talk) 02:14, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Guidelines for outlines

Guidelines for the development of outlines are being drafted at Wikipedia:Outlines.

Your input and feedback is welcomed and encouraged.

The "History of" section needs links!

Please add some relevant links to the history section.

Links can be found in the "History of" article for this subject, in the "History of" category for this subject, or in the corresponding navigation templates. Or you could search for topics on Google - most topics turn blue when added to Wikipedia as internal links.

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines

"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:05, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
