I Looking for a Comprehensive Explanation of Natural Units

Click For Summary
Natural units are a system of measurement that simplifies physical equations by setting fundamental constants to one. Users are seeking comprehensive resources that explain various versions of natural units, their applications, and provide practical examples. While some sources like "Natural System of Units in General Relativity" by Alan L. Myers and Wikipedia's "Natural Units" page offer useful information, they do not fully meet the demand for completeness and accuracy. The discussion emphasizes the need for a more thorough treatment of the topic without requiring rigorous mathematical detail. A well-rounded resource on natural units remains a sought-after asset for those interested in this area of physics.

TL;DR
Would anyone know of a book or article that comprehensively explains Natural Units?
Would anyone know of a book or article that comprehensively explains Natural Units? I am looking for a document that explains all the versions of natural units and why, when, and how to use these units. I am looking for a source that provides many examples of how to use Natural Units. I found the following sources, e.g., (1) "Natural System of Units in General Relativity," by Alan L. Myers, (2) and those listed in the reference section of "Natural Units" on Wikipedia. These two sources are okay, but I am looking for a more comprehensive treatment. I am not looking for rigor, but I'll live with it. I am looking for completeness and accuracy.

Thread 'Analog power supply output question'

I'm setting up an analog power supply. I have the transformer bridge and filter capacitors so far. The transformer puts out 30 volts. I am currently using two parallel power transistors and a variable resistor to set the output. It also has a meter to monitor voltage. The question is this. How do I set up a single transistor to remove whats left of the ripple after the filter capacitors. It has to vary along with the control transistors to be constant in its ripple removing. The bases of the...
