Thin films grown in vacuums are how you get graphene layers and FETs that appear to be the basis of the technology here. Someone with a vacuum deposition system would be the prime candidate to develop a custom thin film to target adsorption

The towed vehicle has its rear driven wheels up on a tow hook type of tow truck and It sounds like a locked steering wheel that has been turned. This would lead to the angled tracking of the front wheels. This would be common for a debt re

I think this is more of a historical artifact rather than a fundamental measurement. In the Millikan oil drop experiment he was able to measure quantized units of charge by stripping a single electron from a drop [1], so much later when qua

I always forget the /s. Anyway the way to fuck up stainless steel is to rub some non stainless steel on it which breaks down the passivation layer. This is why you can buy stainless tools (eg Wiha makes driver bits in stainless)to use

Off the shelf heat pumps will have a defrost control board too, but you make a solid point. The hard part is that you have to recover the refrigerant and refill, which takes HVAC/R equipment and and EPA certification to do legally.

Think of it more that the battery sits on the side of the DC bus. Double conversation UPS are generally the highest end (rectified AC > DC > inverted AC) because there's no switching time between the inverter taking power from th

It seems like toward the smaller end of that range but a wire wrap tool with a scaled version of that bit might be along the lines of what you're after. Wire wrap is meant to go around a long relatively rigid pin as the host for the wr

Along with plastic welding and epoxies (good things to say about JB Weld) also using baking soda infused with cyanoacrylate glue (the very thin kind) can build up material and becomes approximately rock hard. Can be filed. Just be careful a
