I would put the solar cells on top as noted above, in a box that shields them from view. some people just have to steal solar panels and some people just have to break glass.

BS does not dispel, it spreads.

years and years and years and years ago, I was arguing a point of science with a man of faith. he eventually ran out of ideas and said "you know, i wouldn't care if you are right. you're such a smug jerk about the way you say things that I would rather be wrong than agree with you" reading...

I believe the answer is: you need to port forward past the NAT to the ISP. the NAT is an obstacle, port forward is the way past it.

there is one kind of omnidirectional horizontal antenna: the turnstile array. two dipoles with a 90 degree phasing harness there are a few vertical omnidirectional antennas with gain. the one that might be useful for you would be a collinear array four collinear arrays arranged as two...

yes, it would work. no, it's not legal simple inexpensive legal solution, if the content is suitable for amateur radio: 1) get an amateur radio technician license. It's a 35 question test. 2) get a frequency agile RF modulator from eBay. ChannelPlus 5525 at $80...

A generic hint for asking questions on message boards: Paragraphs. you organize your thoughts into groups, and separate them. you make paragraphs with the ENTER key. big rectangle on the right side of the keyboard A big wall of text is not a sign of an organized mind.

the fact that we can see spiral galaxies proves that they are not in the same plane. if all galaxies were in the same plane all galaxies would look like a line with a bump in the middle

the ratio of light produced versus heat produced is where the efficiency can be found

web site said sun outage, not power outage. to know what would happen peruse this website: http://www.survivalistboards.com/ It would be TEOTWAWKI it and everybody would grab their BOB and take the BOV to the BOL because the SHTF. I find their communications recharges my dingbatteries...

the parabolic dish for the earth station was 210 feet across. then they added to it: http://eecue.com/a/1581/Goldstone-NASA-Deep-Space-Network.html a story you won't hear anywhere else: that bright white thing is a subreflector. the antenna is a catadioptric, AKA a Schmidt-Cassegrain, a...

bigger antenna element diameter = wider bandwidth. in simple terms, it works better for more adjacent channels. if you are making an antenna with wire elements, thicker wire = thicker elements. so thicker wire is better. Copper pipe or aluminum tube is way better. which is why commercial TV...

shipyard workers have twice the cancer rate of the general population. workers on nuke subs have 6 times the cancer rate of the general population. workers who refuel nuke subs have 12 times the cancer rate of the general population. per the union at the shipyard I worked at in 1978
