OT Climate Change Is Going TO Kill Us All... 2214
Yeah, I only have an EE degree and 30 years of experience as a systems and semiconductor engineer. I'm certainly ignorant of things technical. Or perhaps you misunderstood what I said (hard to believe since I only said 4 words).
Anyway, to spell it out for you, Znu wrote that the antenna was an open-mesh design covering lots of area. I merely asked if it was an open mesh design in the manner that Arecibo was an open-mesh design with crops growing under it. I didn't say or intimate anything else.
No clue? Really? What a concept (says he, voice dripping with sarcasm).
Timberwoof Agreed. But I don't know of any solutions yet that will scrub CO2 from a...
Really? I didn't know that until I was at least 15 years old (the year they started building the thing).
I know what a Schottky barrier diode is. They have been used in TTL logic for decades. They are also used as input protection for many ICs.
'Zat a fact? Do tell. Half wave, full wave, or bridge? Why convert it to DC? Why not use an ultra high-frequency switching power supply design (AC to AC converter) to convert the RF directly to 60Hz?
Obviously, but many things would affect that including wavelength, concentration of the energy (beam size), the efficiency of the antenna, etc.
