Parking lots covered with solar panels is an idea whose time has come. It’s now or never if humans hope to prevent the mercury from increasing by 1.5° Parking lots seem logical places for solar farms, blocking the sun’s rays from baking vehicle interiors and converting that energy to usable power to make the cars run.

Over the years, memory has been made up of vacuum tubes, glass tubes filled with mercury and, most recently, semiconductors. Williams came up with the idea of using two CRTs, and storing the radar trace by passing it back and forth between the two. Without random-access memory, a computer today can’t even boot up.

Many US drivers now have a vague idea that General Motors is doing something with electric vehicles. Just like, say, Ford—which was then in the process of killing Mercury, to leave it with only Ford and Lincoln. That would give the radically slimmed-down GM a mass-market brand and a luxury brand. But that was then, and this is now.

The idea behind this motion event-triggered sensor isn't new. A hundred years ago, centimeter-scale tilt switches used a conductive blob of mercury rolling along a glass tube to close an electric circuit. The MEMS version, of course, is only a few millimeters in size, and instead of mercury, it uses a suspended block of silicon.

One strange element of the Tartan track story is the fact that the original formulation used mercury, making it much more dangerous than it needed to be. The invention was used by the U.S. But, it needed someone to manufacture magnetic tape for it to use.
