Actually yes, I did the math a few months ago and if you have a gas generator such as [1], you can produce electricity from PG&E's gas for cheaper than PG&E's own electrical rates. Details: The generator linked below can p

This isn't really a technical manual, though, like the one that may come with a dishwasher or something. This is more like a training manual meant to help a person with no prior knowledge become proficient in some topic. You should com

I know nothing about RF, can anyone comment on the technical challenges in making this possible? I always thought that you needed special antennas to communicate with satellites, how can a phone do it with no special hardware?
