>>12884177Silicon carbide electronics work at Venusian temperatures. Granite should have survived the resurfacing I think.
>>12884250>>vacuum tubesfail pretty fast because the pressure and temperature is high, so helium diffuses in.
>>Why is nasa trying to use clockwork?cause mechanical components still work at extremely high temperatures. Jet engines burn hotter than venus. The other thing is that because the temperature is high, magnets don't work well and the resistivity of metals is high. This means that if you want to make a wind powered rover it's more efficient to use wind energy directly than to use a generator-batteries-motor
