So, I set about building an open-source ice tracker from DIY components that not only proved to be much, much cheaper but also much more capable than the commercial options. The v2021 version can be powered on two nonrechargeable LSH20 D-cell lithium batteries , which work well even at extremely low temperatures.

At the time, e-bikes were still rather exotic, at least in the United States, so it seemed worth the expense and effort to build my own. The third essential element of any e-bike is, of course, the battery. In 2009, I wrote in these pages about my efforts to. Fast forward a dozen years. E-bike availability and ridership have exploded.

Building off the demand stimulated by this activity, a number of manufacturers have started making premium, but still relatively cheap, SDRs. Both the KrakenRF SDR and the Raspberry Pi 4 [middle bottom] require a fair amount of power via USB C cables, so a battery pack [top middle] is needed for mobile operation. James Provost.

And today, technology is maturing to the point that meaningful amounts of these energy giveaways can be harvested to liberate wearables from ever needing a battery. There are, researchers have discovered, a wide range of options to harvest enough microwatts to replace wearables’ batteries. Batteries die before animals do.

Well, not really cheated, but I just went with a retail solar generator system instead of DIYing that part myself from à la carte components. To save a bit of money instead, you can source your own solar panels, solar charge converter, batteries, inverter, and wiring, then make it all play together. Next came the air conditioning.

The notion of being led to a hidden object by virtue of the magnetic anomaly it creates must have really intrigued my 9-year-old self, because a decade after seeing that movie I decided to build a circuit to measure the strength of Earth’s magnetic field. Power comes from an external USB battery.
