There are many DCF77 receivers in Germany that are contained in a square box that's barely large enough for a AA battery; the rest of the square contains the motor/gears and the electronics/receiver (incl. a ferrite loopstick

Arguably monitors that are not mere TVs ought to allow control of each distinct pixel they drive internally and communicate their layout and if needed distinct brightness/color coordinates to the host. Exceptions can apply if the consu

They are good for infrequently used track and places where overhead wires would be in the way, like that very Tesla employee shuttle on it's own track and container ports. It's not the best way to go for mainline track and not sui

You don't use ponds, you run the desalination to as strong as practical and follow up with either electrolysis or distillation of the brine. But once summer electricity becomes cheap enough due to solar production increasing to handle

Do you know how much magnesium you find with silicon and iron as olivine? It's just the silicon that we haven't yet tamed for large scale mechanical usage that makes them uneconomical to electrolyze.

We have 10 years of 2021 global energy production (including oil/coal/gas!) of LFP in the oceans; but yes, sodium batteries are probably cheaper.

2021 total world energy production of approximately 172 PWh would require 27.5 billion metric tons of lithium metal at typical 0.16g/Wh of a modern LFP cell; meanwhile, we have approximately 230 billion metric tons of lithium for takin

Grid scale LFP with once daily cycling lasts 30 years before the cells are degraded enough to think about recycling. And those are very low maintenance over that time. You're probably mostly going to swap voltage regulators and their f

If you're in the US just look up the small claims process local near you, and do it. The fee is small and you'll learn how it works, and that's worst case.

They are talking gigawatt. That pretty much implies dedicated long-distance transmission lines. The 1.4 GW they mention are very close to the full output of three mile island. This is not a small power situation that is done with existing p

Worry about the leg-thick power cable not the pinky-thin fiber. The cost of the fiber itself basically doesn't matter relative to a data center itself.

Yeah PPS uses capacitive halvers. You can e.g. stack two half bridges, connect their switching nodes with a flying capacitor, and declare the connection of the stack the new switching node. If you use a series induction from the switching n

Yeah 120W is table stakes. Also Anker wall adapters are insulated that's worse for efficiency. Integer ratios can be done with GaN and class 1 ceramics and stray inductance to charge the GaN drain, so they only experience ZVS (they do

ZVS (not ZCS) topologies that use planned stray inductance and WBG transistors and class 1 ceramics can operate at 10s of MHz with less than 1% of loss per voltage halving. They have insane power density and lack of wound inductors means th
