2021-01-27 Report On Monopolized Energy Sector
A few big corporations are monopolizing the energy sector, and causing the US to lag behind when it comes to clean renewables, and maximizing profits at the expense of the consumer. https://www.renewableenergyworld.com/blog/new-report-sheds-light-on-americas-monopolized-energy-sector-and-how-we-can-fix-it/

2018-09-02 Mims Mistakes In Audio Amplifier
From FB group Building Transistor Radios, 2018-09-02 I already see one mistake. On p.27, Audio Mixer. The R6 is only 1k. The voltage divider R5 and R6 will give a voltage less than 0.6 at Q1’s base, which means Q1 will not be forward biased enough and the circuit won’t work or else sound distorted.

2017-06-08 AD Has ADP5090
Ever since I’ve been experimenting with Joule Thiefs I’ve done so with the intention of using the circuit for boosting a low voltage source to power a higher voltage circuit. So I think this Analog Devices ADP5090 is very useful for doing just that: powering circuits up to 200 mW from very low voltage power

I tried posting this on Facebutt, but it thinks this single image .GIF is a movie! So I’m putting it where all can get it.

This is my answer to a question on Facebook about what movie have you watched five or more times. I think I watched UP! more than once. And Wall-e. But I can’t see spending that much time watching a movie when I know pretty much how it’s going to be after the second or 3rd

2012-12-26 Lossev’s Crystal Oscillator Experiments
I was looking through the Yahoo group lost_technology and came across an article from the Wireless World, 1923 about the Russian O. Lossev’s experiments with crystals (the mineral kind like those used in detectors). He got best results with zincite and a carbon or steel whisker. I have a galena crystal, but he got poor
