This is my User Page and as with most things is a work in progress, enjoy! I also have a page at:


You are here,
Stay a while!

So, you made it here, this page is a work in progress as most everything is. As near I can tell all of this started at Project Gutenberg or maybe it was the Big bang, anyway that's all in the past. Moments ago it was 2025/04/20 15:31UTC, which at the time was the present. Here comes the Future; you know my favorite thing about time is that it prevents everything from happening all at once, personally I don't deal with this particular aspect of the universe very well.

Picture of the Day

[edit]
Trou au Natron
Trou au Natron is a volcanic caldera in the Tibesti Massif in northern Chad. The volcano is extinct, and it is unknown when it last erupted. Trou au Natron is located just south-east of Toussidé, the westernmost volcano of the Tibesti Mountains. The caldera has an irregular diameter of approximately 6 to 8 kilometres (4 to 5 miles) and is up to 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) deep. Because of its irregular shape, it has been theorized that the caldera was formed as a result of multiple massive explosions, each of which deepened the enormous pit. Its exact period of formation is unconfirmed, although a Pleistocene formation has been suggested. Much of the surface of the caldera is lined with a white crust of carbonate salts such as sodium carbonate and natrolite, known as natron, leading to the caldera's name, literally 'hole of natron' in French. This crust is sometimes known as the Tibesti Soda Lake. Both the slopes and the floor of the caldera contain thick layers of fossilized aquatic gastropods and diatoms, indicating that it was once home to a deep lake. This satellite image of Trou au Natron was taken in 2008 from the International Space Station, at an altitude of around 352 kilometres (219 miles). The white crust can be seen at the bottom of the caldera.Photograph credit: NASA

The Idea of Battery Electric Vehicles

[edit]

The primary advantage of a BEV is that all aspects of it's creation, opperation, and disposal are well withing the relm of managability. Unlike FF based societies in which there is no way to manage the conversion process from higher energy HC to lower energy CO2. There is no way to replace the HC nor manage the CO2 output of such systems. Nuclear energy while more managable than FF due mostly to their far greater energy densiy are still nothing more than a change of state of a finite material resource. BEVs and renewable energy on the other hand can be build with renewable energy, run on renewable energy, and be recycled at the end of their cycle lives, all of which is managable and systainable indefenently.


User:D0li0/BEV Development

[edit]

There have been rescent and significant advancements in high power and cycle life Lithium-ion batteries which could vastly improve the viability, longevity, range, and recharge times if applied to BEVs.

See Supercapacitor as well.

User:D0li0/Hybrid What?

[edit]

Perhaps it would help to clarify the somewhat confused understanding and difficulties in convaying the ideas behind various "Hybrid vehicles" by more accurately defining the specific aspects of such vehicles employing multiple technologies. The aspects which are Hybrid in nature could include but are not limited to Powered, Fueled, and/or Storage. So when categorizing a Hybrid vehicle one should mention which technologies (ie: GAS/ICE, Diesel/ICE, NG/ICE, LPG/ICE. H2/ICE, Electricity/Batteries/Motors, Hydrogen/Fuel Cell/Motors, Human/Peddles) are employed and the nature of their use. Such as Gas-Electric Powered or Diesel-Hydrogen Fueled.

Lithium batteries hold quite a bit of potential.

[edit]

A Wikipedia Periodic Table imagemap which might be applicable to each elements table image. It won't work here due to it requiring html tag support, but it does work here: http://www.seattleeva.org/wiki/User:Rjf/Clickable_Periodic_Table

Watchlist RSS feeder

[edit]

Humm, can't seem to make ruby run the scripts above, something about missing the scan dependency? So how about a quick and dirty perl script? Just copy the watchlist source to a wikipedia.watchlist.source file and run it through this: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
#

$site="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=";
@list=`cat wikipedia.watchlist.source | grep "checkbox"`;
foreach (@list) {
 if ($_ =~ /.+href="\/wiki\/.+"\ .+href="\/w\/index.php\?title=(.+)&action=history".+/) {
   push(@articles,$1);
  }
}

print "<opml version=\"1.0\">\n<head><title>Subscriptions For an RSS Reader</title></head><body>\
<outline title=\"Wikipedia_Watchlist\" text=\"Wikipedia_Watchlist\">\n";
foreach (@articles) { $title="$_";           $article="$_";           &do_entry; }
foreach (@articles) { $title="$_" . ":Talk"; $article="Talk:" . "$_"; &do_entry; }
print "</outline></body></opml>\n";
exit(0);

sub do_entry {
 print "\t<outline text=\"$title\" title=\"$title\" type=\"rss\"\
\t\txmlUrl=\"$site$article&action=history&feed=rss\"\
\t\thtmlUrl=\"$site$article&action=history\"/>\n";
}
