2020-12-06 Structurally Integrated Batteries
Also left a comment on JHAT Dec 6. Structural batteries and also integration with motors is a fascinating subject.

2020-12-04 High Voltage B Battery Using LR44 – AG13
I thought about a way to solve the expensive oddball battery problem that is so often found in old electronics like portable radios. The B battery voltages of old portable tube radios are 45 V, 67.5 V and 90 V. The number of 1.5 VDC cells in each of these is 2/3 of the number

2020-12-04 Benghazi, Iran And Other Blame-HRC-For-Its
Nancy Burian I don’t think you know the whole story about the killings in Benghazi and other US embassies before that.

2020-12-01 LTA Blimp Hangars 1945
I lived up in Panorama Heights for 6 months, and my high school friends owned the house up there that was one of, if not the first house built upon the hill. It was built long after 1945, IIRC 1956. In the evening we could sit in their living room and look out the window
