2024-03-09 Big Clive’s Old Tungsten Roadwork Beacon – Barricade Flasher
I built this “tungsten roadwork beacon” as Clive calls it, using the parts given in my schematic (photo below). I didn’t have a 6V, 90 mA lamp, so I simulated it by using three 20 ohm, 1/4 Watt resistors in series, which gives 60 ohms and 100 mA load with 6VDC. For an indicator I

Somewhat harsh words from a reader about Tesla’s FSD – Full Self-driving. Yes, Waymo (from Google) may be ahead, and that’s good. Commenter says Waymo uses AI and LLM too. We need competition in the ASD – autonomous self-driving field. Tesla Is Way Behind Waymo — Reader Comment
2024-03-01 CATL, BYD To Slash Battery Prices by 50% in 2024
The battery is the most expensive piece of an EV, so lower costs will reduce the COGS – cost of goods sold, thus the consumer will be able to get an EV for even less. This makes the EVs more competitive with gas guzzlers. It will also make the $25,000 EV easier to build. CATL,
