When I was there 2 years ago, the cheapest house was $890k. The mean was about $1.3M. These are $200k houses in normal markets.

You coukd linearize it using a meta-material of small magnets, though it would probably end up being a cylinder lined with magnets of varying density.

Yes, but there will always be some heat loss, and the magnetism is lost with heat. I’m just assuming the pogo stick will drastically fail when the magnets get hot enough.

Where does the heat go? The spring will have a much larger surface area to dissipate the heat. Maybe surrounding the magnets with a copper tube will conduct some eddy currents.

That article jolted a childhood memory of a bubble light. Now I want to buy some. Putting candles on Christmas trees seems crazy. Those things burn like crazy.

What moral dilemma? There are plenty of people who would kill (pick your group) on the spot. Being armed is good.

Yes, peak scattering will occur at 1/2 wavelength, and multiples of that.

Star Trek definitely influenced me into electrical engineering, along with much SciFi of the 70’s.

Maybe he’d be better off just using a transformer. Don’t these high end headphones have a high impedance?

Makes is seem more than it is. The existential pleasures of Ham Radio. Ever been to a Hamfest? Made the mistake of taking my wife once. How about being crushed between a table and scooter by someone who smells like they haven’t bathed in

The Hoover dam was built on time and budget, along with numerous other public works projects of the early 20 century. It’s as if nothing can get done now.

Thanks. Added to wishlist. Check out books on Oliver Heaviside for the first one to put Maxwells equations to use.

I was thinking scrap value. Toss them in an industrial shredder, sans battery pack, then separate out the metals. Maybe a mobile shredder.
