The Complex Simplicity of Innocence of Animals & Children

Without the biases of adult humans, animals & children have a purity or innocence that laws protect because we agree as a people on Earth that animals & small children should not ever be abused by adult in any way. With war & social division, negative mindset & toxic ideas, adults hurt each other with crime & corruption & worse & some of the sickest people even harm children & animals in nature.

Silicon Boule Production Amazing


Schematic of Silicon Boule Furnace

Imagine a large single crystal silicon rod weighing 300+ kg of which many hundreds of wafers will be cut in order to make a base material onto which photolithography stages will create billions of transistors connected by tends of km of wiring connections via more than 120 different photo electro chemical processing stages inside cleanrooms in Chip Fabs, the most expensive buildings & operations on earth producing the most complicated products known to mankind! 

Chip Lithography 2021-2025 Extending EUV to 1nm feature precision

TSMC, Intel, Samsung, Hynix, ASML & other suppliers of the integrated chipset manufacturing groups of which there are more than 400 ArF machines in use & about 50 EUV machines. Power requirements make deep EUV & beyond dramatically more expensive + the optics all based on reflecting 193 nm light because optical lens materials absorb it. Purified hydrogen gas has to be pumped over the mirror surfaces to keep the tin plasma vapors & high energy electrons from ablating or chemical damaging the primary light source mirror. This is deep dive into how the industry going beyond 3nm.

Covid19 Vaccine, Virus, & Government Mask Mandates

Device Repair Ethics & Battery Preservation Facts

Shame on Apple & Samsung & LG & Microsoft & Tesla & other greedy selfish anti-consumer companies who betray their customers by sealing in batteries or making parts proprietary & unavailable or doing other unethical & immoral things to prevent customers from fixing or repair their stuff for a reasonable price. 

Antivaxxers & Antimaskers are Harming & Hurting Other People by Spreading the Delta Variant of COVID19

Shame on these fact denying antivaxxers & antimaskers who fail to get vaccinated & who refuse to wear a mask. Both the COVID19 vaccine & masks are about protecting other people by limiting the spread of airborne viral agents, not just SARS-COV-2, but other cold & flu viruses. The science perfectly clear that filtering face masks help to reduce the spread of viruses & the vaccine for COVID19 helps to reduce the spread of the COVID19 virus & helps people exposed to it have less server symptoms & higher survival rates. 

Hate Speech Misinformation

Spreading antivaxxer fake information harms & hurts others people & people who do that are guilty of criminal acts of causing harm & hurting other people. Anti-mask people are similar haters who need to get with the program & stop sharing their spit particles. Filtering masks help by capturing mucus particles emitted when people speak & breath. 

Rejecting Science

There is a segment of the population, conspiracy theorists, who dispute the shape of the Earth, saying that the Earth is flat, known as flatearthers, when there is no science backing this perspective or opinion. We have moon hoaxers & anti-vaxxers & anti-maskers, haters who reject physics & chemistry & experts & science & medicine; a confused segment of people who are too stupid & arrogant to acknowledge their opinion not fact or science or statistically significant or based on any empirical facts or data. There are small minority of people who assert their personal confused opinion as fact on social media. These people need to be stopped by social media companies. Their accounts need to be frozen, disabled or turned off. 

Penalties & Fines 

I want stiff penalties & fines for people who refuse to wears masks in public & even stronger criminal penalties like a felony conviction for failing to get the vaccine. I want to punish the wicked evil selfish arrogant confused idiots who are responsible for the ongoing spread of COVID19, the people who reject vaccine technology & spread harmful misinformation & disinformation online. I want their bank accounts frozen, their passports taken away. I want their employees to suspend them without pay. I want the police & government to arrest these people & charge them with public endangerment for failing to be vaccinated!

Pop-its 4th of July Toy powered by silver fulminate coated sand friction explosion of super sonic gas expansion salute sound like a cap gun :)

A small cherry shaped paper sack filled with sand coated in ~2 mg of silver fulminate made of cigarette paper produce a small explosion & audible bang sound when the pop-it thrown against a hard surface, the audible crack solute a sharp output similar to that of a cap-gun. 

Fortunately the extremely high mass fraction of the sand to the friction sensitive explosion enables most of the explosion energy to dissipate by chucking the sand particles, so low energy that you can set one off in your hand with little if any risk of causing a physical injury, hence their low cost, retail sales & popularity with parents & children. 

Pop-its achieve global sales diffusion & worldwide popularity in the 1950's & became part of the Chinese New Year celebrations. In the USA they are sold in grocery stores & other retail locations year round & availability increases approaching July 4th independence day celebrations. 

Safe & fun to play with, pop-its will likely continue to be popular, even though they contain a wildly powerful explosive in tiny milligram quantities that produce the snap/ bang solute of supersonic gas expansion when the sand particles coated in the explosive rub together as the packet impacts something or is snapped in the fingers. 

Enjoy your pop-it fun people! Cheers & thanks for thinking about it with me :)

Energy Efficiency at Home : Saving Money & Lowering Emissions

Lower your daily operating costs at home or work or your vehicle operating costs. Energy efficient means doing the same things with lower costs & saving money. Energy efficient like the frugality of electricity & natural gas & hot water. Thinking about how to use less to do the same or more. Negative wattage or reducing energy wasted like hot water down the drain in the winter or hot air out the window or lost through seems & gaps or lack of insulation in the attic or crawlspace or poorly efficient walls & windows that can be easily updated with Low-E film applied like clear so light moves through without wasting heat your paid money to your utility company to make in the winter. Lets explore domestic energy efficient ideas that normal people can make use of daily

Smaller Cheaper Nuclear Reactors Essential - Think SMR & MMR

 During the Cold War the USA's pentagon & DOE developed small nuclear reactors for use on Ships like aircraft carriers & nuclear submarines. Russia also developed city power levels reactors for remote towns & installed lots of fission reactors for nuclear weapons grade plutonium production & other radioactive isotope manufacturing for advanced physics & materials science & medical imaging & cancer treatments. Today most of the smallest reactors are located at universities where they make special medical isotopes not thermal processing heat or electricity. Think SMR or small modular reactors & MMR or micro modular reactors that fit into a shipping container. 

While the DOD's small reactors are not feasible for electrical utility companies like PSE or Seattle City Light to apply for distributed generation upgrades to their respective power distribution networks, companies like X-energy are developing commercialized compact low cost reactors that private utility companies can buy outright for less than $20M & install in less than 24 months from the time of breaking ground to the time that heat & power output available for end users of that energy. 

Scalability really the main idea with 4th Gen IFR, SMR & MMR fission energy reactor technologies. 

$7 million for an SMR, its building & land & grid inter-tie connection to a substation

$100,000 for an MMR in a sealed shipping container lowered into a concrete pool structure for shielding & protection, that works 24/7 making 10kw of heat & 3kw of electricity, enough for a large home or multifamily complex or some businesses & commercial customers. A utility company can buy & develop many dozens or even hundreds of such units like the XE100 or equivalent & apply them in different zones of the utility coverage area to add UPS or uninterruptible power supply capacity to small substations & utility power conditioning & control sites. 

Low cost fission reactors that private individual billionaires can buy, means companies like Amazon & Jeff Bezos or Microsoft & Bill Gates can privately buy a building & land & work with the NRC & one of the SMR developers & a utility customers to add more capacity. In the PSE network in Puget Sound Washington, they plan to phase out natural gas & convert restaurants & homes & other business to all electrical operation. Decarbonization means more loads for the grid & probably increasing electricity prices. PSE needs to add capacity to its network, more power production, especially 24/7 base load to support greater adoption of electric vehicles, since lots of people will be charging their latest model EV at home in the evening & at night when the sun is not shining on solar panels. 

We need more energy storage capacity for solar & wind to work 24/7 & to compete against an SMR reactor nearly impossible in terms of cost per kWh in the contents of good uptime & good load following & good capacity factor so that electrical power available round the clock for police & fire & hospitals & companies like Amazon that operate continuously to serve up free two day shipping for Prime customers // Google, Microsoft, Boeing, Apple, Facebook, these companies have the money, talent & resources to work with a utility company & a nuclear SMR developer & the NRC to pipeline production & installation of sealed integrated SMR & MMR reactors to make heat & power 24/7 at distribution centers & warehouses, for cloud compute infrastructure, finance & accounting, banking & ATM & debit cards & credit cards & for everything to work whenever you need so you can run you washing machine or fridge or lights whenever you want, that works with your schedule & your not everyone. Some people work really strange & variable shifts, like many doctors & nurses working at your local hospital, police & fire too. We have to have 24/7 electricity for modern life to function

Adding millions of new EV's to the nations grids will stress the power distribution systems, & in the context of what's been happening to the grid power system in Texas lately, we know we need to upgrade the electrical distribution systems to N+1 capacity with backup routs for power to flow if a line downed by a tree brach from a storm system, where high wind & water causes trees to fall into the overhead power lines. We can also burry power lines into sealed conduit tubes, though at much greater cost. 

Nothing free in physics & it will take people concentrating on SMR reactor commercialization to make something amazing like an MMR available to regular people with the means to buy one & install it in their specific application, with NRC approval. Think of streamlining NRC approval for MMR applications so that thousands of people can buy an MMR for their building or lot or land or home or business. Blending an MMR with solar rooftop PV, energy storage & wind power makes a stable safe electric power production blend, & the scalability of such systems all the way down to 1KW & as much as 10GW, means that nuclear fission offers a flexible distributed energy solution that utility companies can embrace with short built times & budgets as low as $20M 

20 million might sound like a lot to a marginalized member of the USA's middle class, there are thousands of billionaires who can easy afford an MMR reactor installation, so why are non of them working to make MMR's available to customers ? Good question. Probably because most people are unaware of 4th Gen IFR breeder reactors that make more fuel than they consume & able to burn nuclear waste from Gen. 2 reactors common around the world. Today nearly 450 Gen. 2 reactors built with government funding are operating an inefficient fuel cycle that only uses 4% of the fuel rod energy to make steam or high temp gas to turn turbines to make electricity. 

Large nuclear reactors can also make heat to desalinate sea water to make fresh water. Electricity from the reactor can electrolyte the water to make green hydrogen & the green hydrogen & other electricity can be used to recycle scrap steel & to process concrete. I am imagining an integral plant that does all of these functions, inspired by the Palo Verde reactor in Arizona that uses domestic sewer as a coolant loop to dissipate low grade heat that's not profitable or feasible to utilize or export to distant customers. 

Nuclear Steel Scrap Recycling 

Nuclear Green Hydrogen Production

Nuclear Sea Water Desalinization & Purification to Clean Tap Water 

Nuclear Medical Isotopes & Special Medals for NASA & Space Probes

Nuclear Materials for the Kilopower System of Artemis on the Moon

We can use Nuclear Breeder reactors with enough neutron flux to empower thorium into the commercial fuel cycle once its been activated by transmutation by neutron bombardment in the core of fission reactors where Thorium becomes a fissile element part of the fuel burn cycle able to contribute energy to the core in an ongoing chain reaction at the heart of all fission reactors ! IFR style reactors can take the spent nuclear waste from Gen. 2 reactors & burn the nuclear waste as new fuel. By over-parity enrichment & the transmutation of isotopes into fissile forms, nuclear energy can make heat & power & electricity for 10 billion people for thousands of years in Earth's biosphere, enabling society to become full electric & phase out carbon burning with extensive decarbonization efforts where gasoline & diesel vehicles are replaced with fully electric cars & SUV's & where natural gas replaced with electric power made from a mix of different generation sources. 

Nuclear Energy Important for Human Activity

We need to stop adding toxic pollution to the biosphere of Earth. Polluting unethical & immoral because its sicken people & animals in nature with preventable diseases that form from exposure of those lifeforms to toxic pollutants. Pollutants are toxic because they causes cellular dysfunction, dysregulation of the immune system & other cytotoxic effects well elucidated & formally described by science in medicine & toxicology & ecology since the 1960's. 

Ignorant about Need for Carbon Energy

People pretend like we are unable too move beyond burning carbon to make energy when there are at least 12 other more intelligent ways to make heat & power. Capturing heat & energy from the SUN with a Dyson sphere for example will require mankind to increase our collective industrial manufacturing capacity & space access technology. We need fully electric rail launch single stage to space launching capacity & nuclear metal alloy processing on grand scales nearly unimaginable to most people in the public today. I am talking about TW level reactors with integrated concrete, steels, desalination & hydrogen production in giant 4th Gen. reactors build by a consortium of public & private entities. 

Abundant Solar Heat Available 

Solar Thermal Energy systems that store the suns heat as molten salt are one example & new ceramics & insulator technology means low costs versions of these systems like the Ivanpah Heliostat plant, a solar electricity generating system based on concentrated solar thermal plant technology where 173,500 poll mounted computer controlled mirrors focus the suns light onto heat exchanger boilers located atop 3 different 459ft or 139m tall power towers, in the Mojave desert, USA. Think enhanced energy storage to make solar thermal plants with greater capacity factor & actually power output! 

Cheap nuclear reactors made in a factory that produced sealed heat & power generator units for customers that can use 3kw of heat & 1kw electricity from a reactor that's smaller than a typical SUV, developed by Nasa for Kilopower program to power Artemis missions on the moon. Take the tech that NASA using & license & use it to make MMR reactors that the public can buy, with approval from an application the NRC for installation in substations, power plants of other kinds, multifamily complexes, factories, warehouses & other industrial users of electricity like petrochemical refining plants & gas processing plants that make specialty gases in high pressure cylinders. A MMR reactor sold by the thousands can literally empower human society with redundant always on heat & electricity essential to life & society today. We need more distributed generation capacity in electrical grids & Texas grid failures prove this in an undeniable way. We need more solar & wind & energy storage, but medium volume SMR & MMRs are actually less costly & have better capacity factor & load following, so people have access to locally made electricity 24/7, not just when the sun shining on solar panels or wind spinning their wind turbine energy generators. 

Hard Facts People / Carbon Energy a Dead End!

Burning carbon an ignorant way to make heat & electrical energy if non renewable fuels like oil & coal are used for the carbon. Some biomass energy renewable if we continue doing forest management planting & ecological restoration & conservation of natural landscapes & farming & agriculture. Its really coal & oil & gasoline & diesel & jet fuel that I am talking; dirty industrialization powered by oxidizing carbon in ever increasing ways even through doing so emits climate changing exhaust gases that are toxic for people to breathe. Yes, burning carbon stupid, nuclear energy intelligent. We need cheaper nuclear reactors, small & modular that utility companies can afford & install for their customers benefit due to the advantages a grid has with distributed generation capacity. Mixing renewables like rooftop solar PV with energy storage & wind power turbines & small cheaper modular sealed automatic 4th super safe fission reactors the key to decarbonizing energy as every vehicle phased over to fully electric as gasoline & diesel are phased out to reduce air pollution near traffic corridors, in cities & towns around the world! 

Global IC chip shortage = High GPU prices like GTX3070 for $1500+ instead of $499 MSRP

Automakers cannot even finish building their new 2021 model cars because the chip shortage disabled access to the ECU & other embedded microcontrollers present by the many tens of units & in some modern luxury vehicles there's more than 100 onboard IC chip computers for security system, ADAS, engine control, transmission shifting, airbag system, tire pressure monitoring computer system, infotainment, digital dashboard LED LCD units & wireless smart key systems.

Information Compute Logic IO Binary Hard Mineral Lithography Chips

Think, Transistors are like people, its how they are connected that makes the difference // 

Fully Electric Transportation

Think Tesla Model 3 the most popular EV in the world! Electric vehicles are limited by fragile limited lithium ion batteries today, while future models will have much better solid-state sodium & aluminum ion batteries made from safer earth abundant materials. Here we go into a wandering deep dive of sorts about transportation energy in the context of my life experience & global trends that affect everyone! 

High Speed Rail In China vs Hyperloop : Energy Efficiency in Transportation

Neoliberal Free Market Ideology / Eco-friendly Global Fair Trade

While many political parties exist worldwide, the neoliberal free market approach to free & fair trade seems to make the most logical sense in terms of factual analysis of how free markets have created more shared wealth & prosperity than any other geopolitical system & are now poised to make EV's & other decarbonization technologies more feasible than the high cost of low prices of carbon energy & the pollutants emitted by burning carbon that are toxic to public health & at the same time a major driving force of anthropomorphic climate change worldwide!

8 Years of Kindle 3 Keyboard Broken in Back Pocket

Kindle Keyboard (graphite) 3rd Gen.
Launched August 27, 2010
After years of book reading experiences on E-ink the screen shattered internally. It was in my back pocket when I sat on it, mechanically deforming the case so much that the back panel click-snap attachment border partially delaminated from the main unit. Pinching the edges strongly reseated the rear panel to the main body of the kindle. Tearing down the kindler for component construction analytics shows the shattered glass, logic & more.

Dash Cam 4K


After seeing youtube videos under the #dashcam I started researching dash cameras. At the time 1080 recordings rarely contained the best plate reading resolved imaging potential for video evidence. The costs were too high for quality models & the lack of higher definition video meant lower quality evidence at a higher cost.

Nissan Ellure Concept : Image from CleanMPG.COM 
Buy replacement batteries instead of gasoline for 8-15 years of pure EV driving. The old traction battery of battery electric vehicle often the largest cost single component, it fades as it ages, especially in hot climates; chemical entropy in batteries = wears out YMMV. 

When the old EV battery weak replace it, and bam your electric vehicle has like new range again! The EV battery recycled, no gasoline was burned during your vehicles use :) No tail pipe emissions near your home because of your EV. You can charge the EV in indoor spaces safely, like your smartphone, or using an extension cord & electrical outlet. A proper L2 setup now affordable too!
