2024-03-15 Decoupled Supercapacitive Electrolyzer For Membrane-free Water Splitting
The above is the title of the research paper. The article below is some 3rd or 4th party news source. This electrolyzer uses a single electrode to produce both the hydrogen and oxygen, depending on polarity. They claim that this reduces the chance that hydrogen and oxygen might mix and make an explosive mixture. But

2024-03-15 Ferranti Argus “Hearing Aid” Computer
In the “Original Series” chapter this very interesting Wikipedia article talks about the “hearing aid computer” that used the OC-71 germanium transistors which were used in hearing aids and could go only up to 25kHz clock rate. That was quite slow – tube computers could clock at 500kHz. Later models used faster transistors and could

2024-03-14 California Colleges Have To Slash Emissions, Decarbonize
The UC and CSU systems track their emissions. California Community College System does not. Good article. https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/college-beat/2024/03/california-colleges-decarbonization-2045/
2024-03-11 MethaneSAT Launched, Will Remotely Sense Methane Leaks
Thousands of abandoned oil wells leak methane and no companies will take responsibility. “”MethaneSAT has officially launched! Circling the Earth 15 times a day, this satellite will detect invisible methane leaks and enable emission reduction from the oil & gas industry.”” https://www.edf.org/methanesat
2024-03-10 Radio Shack P-Box List, Assembly Manual, Schematic Info
This seems to be pretty much all of the kits. http://my.core.com/~sparktron/pbox.html
2024-03-10 Battery Prices Fall 50% And More
By this 2024 summer even lower battery prices. Battery prices collapsing, grid-tied energy storage expanding
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

2024-03-08 FWBR Ripple Calculator Online
This may be helpful when choosing the amount of capacitance for a certain unregulated AC power supply – the kind that uses an old fashioned transformer. It calculates one variable given the others. https://www.chipbuilder.com/full-wave-power-supply-ripple-calculator.html
2024-3-05 Boron Nitride Stores Hydrogen – Mechanochemical breakthrough – safe powdered hydrogen
This reminds me of Lavo, an Australian company that makes a hydrogen storage system. https://newatlas.com/energy/mechanochemical-breakthrough-unlocks-cheap-safe-powdered-hydrogen/
