From YouTube video Denmark is Riding the Winds of Change, June 5 It amuses me how these dilettantes (with 1st names starting with K) argue about the pros and cons of bullshit (biomass) while the world is going to hell! 😡😡😣😣😲 Why are you concerned about trivialities when we should be concerned about the future?

From https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2016/07/indian-point-nuclear-power-new-york-documentary/ “You traveled to Fukushima to film. What was your big takeaway from there?” “I found it incredibly chilling to be there. The plant itself is very strange. You don’t smell or see or touch radiation, so you don’t know. But [there’s] this whole process of getting completely suited up, and there are literally

from FB group Building Transistor Radios 2018 Dec 4 Terry Harris I didn’t try to mimic the ALD, I used the FETs for a voltage booster. The typical 5mm LED needs somewhere around 60 mW for Max brightness. If I was powering it with 60 millivolts, it would require over an amp to get the

I was reading this article about the catastrophe that awaits us in the near future, in the next 20 to 35 years. It states that limiting the global warming will be hard, really hard. But it’s something that has to be done if life as we know it is to be saved. As the article

from YouTube video TEDx talk comment pro nuclear power, see 2018-09-04 To paraphrase an earlier comment: “Wow! Spread the word! There is so much *left*out* with this talk!” Did you notice he left out any mention of the economic aspects of nuclear power generation? There are THREE nuclear power plants that are sitting partially built

From FB group Building Transistor Radios 2018-09-01 There are too many ‘gotchas.’ You have to put up a large sized antenna to gather enough power to run the circuit. That means you cannot use this in a city where the properties are too small, due to lack of space. You go to the country where

Reply left on comments for a YouTube Ted talk by Sadoway on molten magnesium – molten salt – molten antimony storage battery David Tiessen Long ago I calculated that the number of solar panels to populate such a large area would be in the billions. But saying it would have to be the size of

From FB group Bell Telephone That reminds me of the EMS we had at the college. The original system used RS-485 around campus. So they started using IP over the network. So at the end of Friday in the hot summer, the Energy Management System tells the A/C units on each bldg to shut down.

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
