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
