If it's on the limits and there are too many things depending on component and PCB/layout variables then it's not so sure, but prototypes and design iterations are just for that. So (within a realistic approach) there is no need to be paralysed. If it does not work, then it'll give clues to...

Goin' on the way of the good old Acceleration Shells? Yes, immersion is expected to help, but breathing and the internal density differences within the human body are still inconvenient limiting factors.

Thanks: will try. :thumbup: We have upgraded to a real camera just recently - still learning it, though - but it was a dark (really dark!) forest on the darker side of a hill, with only the basic (cheap) zoom optics... So at the end I think I've already managed to push my luck to the limits with...

When you make a bunch of photos of a noisy hole on a tree, some of them are bound to be lucky, right? This harmless looking plant has quite an epic name: might be translated as 'scythe-bane', I think... After rain I did not dare to bring any decent gear to that hike, and I was sooo right :wink:

This kind of comparison definitely has many flaws, yet it's soooo correct at the same time in so many ways that it worth to keep around. For example No, you won't get any 404 at the age of 400, since the 'garbage collector' function of your brain will naturally free plenty of memory marked...

Actually, I would recommend the same for all content without any controversy :wink: ... just to put it in context: based on local experience bored people can and will comment on almost anything. Even things like 1+1=2 are not exceptions. ... so if something is still without any controversy...

Sometimes to help to understand the question (while trying to keep the one asking safe) is part of the job. Sometimes it is the job.

What kind of sample rate is needed? If the required sample rate is low then I would suggest a DMM with a (isolated) digital output (so it can be connected to a PC). That would provide you a safe framework to work with. If cost is also a concern then some (cheap) DMMs has DIY mods to provide...

It's a common trap trying to turn the story to a sightseeing tour in the personal universe of the writer. But usually that'll only muddy things and divert the attention (both the author's and the reader's) from the story itself. Hard sci-fi is hard due being hard on the really relevant things...

... sigh. At this point with that extremely unstable (which can be made artificially even now) stuff mined from under an ocean you already have sufficient amount of handwavium at hand to make the whole 'fast and realistic interstellar propulsion' topic just a teeny bit absurd. I would not push...

I can't really imagine any type of cargo which would make decades of waiting (after the establishment of a colony) faster (and: cheaper) than just producing it at the ends of the lane (any type of unobtainium is expected, but those should not be included in the first place). Are you sure this...

Use some leather straps on the shiny parts to preserve them (as much as still possible). Use two slightly bigger grip wrenches with curved jaws.

Hard sci-fi usually does not means no realilty-breaking at all: it means only limited amount of reality breaking, paired with reasonable math done where it's possible. Any intent on going the Larry Niven way?

Rather, selling such kind of wallet was a teeny bit fishy to start with... If crypto (and all or any part of that) is expected to become some kind of legit banking/investing/money transfer thing then compliance is expected, regardless of any previous advertising about being 'restraint and...

I do understand what you are after. I'm just warning you that it's an uphill battle. Youtube/google (or any other company of this business) has serious money from all that ... stuff. Your nice, clean scientific certificated videos will still be littered by really colorful recommendations :frown:

Sure. Stupidity, debunking and debating brings far more AD views than some dry but correct content.

Yep. It'll tinker together whatever words supposed to be satisfying. ChatGPT is the AI of con artistry, not anything else.

Hiking around a village nearby Contrast

Then a mower, chainshaw or such. Are you sure that the classic glow plug igniters used on RC models can't do the trick?

I would look for motorcycle ignition systems, then: with the high voltage parts intact and untouched, safe.

It's about all the readers.

If a '25kV transformer' pops up in these kind of suicidal type DIY projects then it's most likely some tesla coil or a salvaged piece of hardware from an old TV set => both are useless and just dangerous. So: indeed not 'necessarily', but in case of staying case-relevant it's around 99.9%...

Drop that. By the time you transform 3.6V to some high voltage like that it's not just dangerous, but practically useless in this kind of function.

I'm still struggling with understanding the circuit you intend to build, so please just take it as noise if does not fit: once we had a high current switch circuit with two serial MOSFETs where OFF-current was terminated by keeping the middle point voltage level close to the output point (by an...

Are you sure you would not be better off with a simple H-bridge instead?

The 'flea market' of my favourite IT site is littered with all those 'mining rigs' It's quite tempting to put up some real hard ware (for real men) o0)

Please. It's about that nodule receiving that (lethal) dose, and the patient (in general, as whole body) receives very little. If calculated as an average, if 100g tissue gets 50 Gy, then for a 70kg patient that's 0.07 Gy. But it's not calculated as average. The 'whole body' will be affected (by...

That's why it's important that not the whole body gets that dose but only the targeted piece of tissue

Though I've seen some bumblebees furiously buzzing and then attacking/annoying each other. You just might not be chubby enough to be recognized as one of them o0)

I took it like that. That's why I wrote that it's for a few grams of cancerous tissue, not for 'one'.

Nope. That's for a few grams of cancerous tissue, not for 'one'. If you check the half-dead dose, it is just 2-6 Gy. For 'one' 50Gy would not be a therapy, but a serious, deadly nuclear accident already.

... and they did: the whole album :cool: ...and more...

I think the question was not about the general use of 3He, but whether it's actually collected at the deposit site.

... and the most absurd thing about that is, that 'in a world without antibiotics' it was not absolutely baseless... :doh:

I'm just ... thinking that while proper disposal of a no longer useful proto of this size is a royal pain in ***, as an alternative they may have considered the ... entertainment value of the thing parallel with the inevitably limited gains from one such test ... :wink: And, to be clear: this...

So often that I can't help to suspect that they are cutting cost on disassembly and disposal this way o0) The awful number of half-baked proto- and demo-pieces are just an inevitable byproducts of their development strategy.

Just for the log: Falcon Heavy has 27 engines.

Sure Humans took thousands of years to develop those shamanistic chemicals, while for AI it took only a few years - and by now they are self-sufficient already o0)

The Skeptic in the Garden

Depends on the placement, I think. The coil is usually near the wall, as far as I know: if those pipes are in the center, then circulating through them won't have much use, unless you pull some tricks inside too...

Igot that, but in my book that means that the modification of the insulation and tank wall is not really welcomed => only with the original outlets.

The water in the tank is not homogenous in temperature. Hot water is on top: the outgoing pipe is connected here, so the whole capacity of hot water could be extracted. The cold water remains on the bottom, were the incoming pipe connects. The heating element is at the bottom, so it is always...

Could you please give us some readings? With the instrument near the clock and further away. And maybe in the other rooms.

Exactly because of that (that we know what should be expected, for 50+ years already ) why this was so gross. Big rocket does not match well with oversized sloppy stools as 'launch pads'. I hope the next one will be something more decent.

That's actually quite fitting 🤣 It was just a sudden impression (and a panicky impulse to recall and salvage it) of a so ill-logical and badly fitting memory that I'm sure I've never actually had anything like that, ever - gone o_O Sure it is o0)

Maybe worth to add that with the described equipment (pot, tapwater and such) what you get back is not the original, but dirty salt :wink:

Yeah, I too try that all the time, but those old fashioned monster plugs are not really supportive :frown: I totally understand why they are needed on a high voltage diffprobe, but still:doh:

I have only limited experience with these (differential probes) but always gets the creep about those separated wires as inputs. I do understand that they are required to have the 'differential' as 'symmetrical' too, but loops makes the input susceptible to magnetic disturbances at the same time.

I wonder how is it called when you feel forgetting something you have never known.

Old school power supplies needed to warm up before use. Then there was some decades when they were just available right after switching them on. These days they are booting up.
