2024-02-21 Website for Electronics – Very Comprehensive
This very comprehensive electronics website has many projects with useful devices. This example project is a transistor curve tracer. Go to the index and look at the many, many links. It seems to be at the ETH in Switzerland but some of the words are in ?Thai? https://www.changpuak.ch/electronics/Curve_Tracer_advanced.php#

2024-02-13 Tesla To Build Largest 164 Stall Supercharging Station In California
That’s a lot of stalls! I also made a few calculations. The canopies at GF Texas have 9 by 4 = 36 solar panels. Assume each panel puts out 350 Watts. 350 * 36 = 12.6 kW. Each canopy covers 4 stalls, so 164 stalls divided by 4 = 41 canopies. 12.6 kW * 41

2024-02-10 China Says Wind, Solar Are About 40% Of Installed Power Generation
The 15 MW onshore wind turbine’s blades are the least of this news. The following is the big part of this story. Quote: “”The China Electricity Council said in its latest annual report that wind and solar would make up around 40% of the country’s installed power generation capacity by the end of 2024 –

2024-02-08 Padauk PMS154C 5 Cent Microcontroller
“”The 5 cent microcontroller! Got myself 100 Padauk PMS154C, one time programmable microcontroller. 2K program memory, 128 bytes of RAM, 6 timers (some 8 & 11 bit pwm capable), hardware comparator, deep sleep and interrupts capable. Alongside the proprietary programmer too (about 100$). Perfect to flash a few leds on toys, or similar simple cheap

2024-02-06 Offshore Wind – Most Residents Support wind Farm Construction
This poll was released today. It’s not necessarily impartial. I love to hear that 68% of US coastal residents support offshore wind farm construction. But there are NIMBYs that don’t want the turbines for a number of reasons, most of them unjustified. 68% of US coastal residents support offshore wind farms – here’s why
2024-02-02 ReVolve Battery Energy Storage Product Uses Second-life Nissan Leaf EV Battery Packs
Stationary battery energy storage systems are a great way to reuse used EV batteries. Quote: “”The ReVolve battery energy storage product uses second-life Nissan Leaf electric vehicle (EV) battery packs coupled with patented cell-level control technology that combines an integrated battery management system (BMS) and inverter hardware solution.”” PV self-consumption rising as batteries cut grid
