Reverse Engineering the RCA 1802

I’m always impressed with the folks at visual6502.org. This time, they’ve opened up an early CMOS chip, the RCA 1802 micro. It’s kind of like a proto-LSI time capsule. This chip w…

Some older but useful kinds of information :

And a museum site with all kinds of books in pdf format like for example the famous Radioshack / Tandy "Engineer's Mini-Notebook" from Forest M. Mims III.

ENGINEER'S MINI-NOTEBOOK: Radio Shack technical publication

Radio Shack published a series of technical booklets beginning around 1983. Many were reissued with multiple printings up to 1993.

This is a bit more old school, and information is probably a bit dated in some regards as new discoveries have been made, but I remember I really liked the book "Powers of Ten" as a kid. Lots of cool science stuff in there from galaxy clusters down to quarks. There was also a short movie made of it.

Around 8:08 it is mentioned that every atom has protons and neutrons. Strange that they forgot the hydrogen atom which consist of a proton and an electron when electrically neutral. Deuterium is hydrogen with a neutron, a bit more than wice as heavy. Or is hydrogen special ? It already has special capabilities.

 

[Shmee]

Yeah most Hydrogen atoms have no neutrons. Though deuterium and tritium do, these are far less common.

I looked it up, cause i thought Deuterium was rare and Tritium even more. In fact, it is not... Relatively speaking.

According to this site :

DOE Explains...Deuterium-Tritium Fusion Fuel

DOE Explains...Deuterium-Tritium Fusion Fuel

www.energy.gov

"
Deuterium is common: about 1 out of every 6,500 hydrogen atoms in seawater is in the form of deuterium. This means our oceans contain many tons of this hydrogen isotope.
"
Just need a special kind of centrifuge to separate the hydrogen isotopes based on the mass(weight).

This video tells me that our energy production methods are REALLY primitive:

The efficiency ratio for this physical phenomenon (input vs. output energy) seems to be insane.
