But it’s a tough environment for scientific instruments. 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. This is fast enough to identify wind waves, which typically have a frequency of about 0.2

Solar won’t work for nocturnal animals or creatures in low-light environments. The team was inspired by self-winding watches , which have existed since the late 18th century and transform wrist movement into energy. In the future, DIY may not even be necessary. Batteries die before animals do.

So when the coil is pointed north ( and downward, at my northern latitude ), the Earth’s magnetic field adds to the magnetic field created by positive currents in the coil windings; when pointed in the opposite direction, the Earth’s field subtracts. This article appears in the May 2022 print issue as “A DIY Magnetometer.”.

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. And the answer is to hopefully give them better wind protection. There are many ways to skin a cat, and even more ways to add solar power to a shipping container. To be fair, I cheated a bit.

I really wish more companies would adopt this approach, as installing open-source software is often a frustrating exercise in trying to replicate the precise system environment it was developed in. This was in a bid to shield the antenna from the reference signal and myself from the wind.

My concern for the environment started when earth, fire, wind, water and heart combined to fight the forces of corporate greed and irresponsibility. How can I care about the environment on one hand yet refuse to join the ranks of like minded individuals on the other? Tags: Environment Green Living.

Its engine does not emit any harmful byproducts like smoke or other emissions that pollute the environment as it runs on clean energy. Electric energy produced by thermal, wind, hydro or solar power plants do not cause any pollution either. Pretty futuristic, huh!
