Quantum Kinetics Sets a New World Record in Nuclear Fusion Research

Economic impact of nuclear energy

Quantum Kinetics Corporation (QKC) has achieved an unprecedented breakthrough in the field of energy through nuclear fusion. In a series of peer-reviewed experiments, the Seattle-based company managed to maintain a plasma fusion temperature of 200 million degrees Celsius for a full 24 hours, vastly surpassing the previous record set by Korea’s KSTAR reactor, which had reached 105 million degrees for only 48 seconds.

This is a historic achievement for the field of energy via nuclear fusion, as QKC has not only broken records but also succeeded in breaking down radioactive isotopes like Uranium-234, -235, and -238—something that was considered impossible until recently. The company has dubbed this process Safe Nuclear Systems™.

LignoSat: The First Wooden Satellite in Space, a Revolutionary Project

LignoSat satellite Kyoto University

Japan has achieved a milestone in space exploration by launching the first satellite made of wood into space. Named LignoSat, this innovative project is the result of a collaboration between Kyoto University and Sumitomo Forestry, aiming to demonstrate that this renewable material can withstand the extreme conditions of space.

LignoSat, whose name derives from the Latin lignum meaning wood, is not just a scientific advancement but an important step toward the future of sustainability in the space industry. The satellite was launched aboard a SpaceX mission destined for the International Space Station (ISS) and is later expected to orbit the Earth at about 400 kilometers altitude.

How to reuse an old solar panel and charge controller

reuse old solar panel

Emptying a storage room I find this old solar panel that we used years ago in the house in summer, when the electricity still did not arrive. We had this solar panel and 2 or 3 car batteries and some (if we could) for trucks. During the day we charged the car batteries, slowly but steadily. And we used the rest to have light at 12V even televisions at those 12V.

This is the Solar Arc ASI 16-2300. It has 35 cells and dimensions of 1,225 mx 0,305m, that is, 0,373625 m2

Testing in August between 14 and 15 in the afternoon I have obtained 20V and 2A maximum, so we are talking about a power of 40W P = V * I

In this short essay we are going to see the history of electricity chronologically through discoveries related to electrostatics and their technical applications, especially in the form of generators, since it … Read more

Copper barrier for snails

prevent snails from climbing trees

Snails and small conches are the worst pest I have right now in the garden. It is a serious problem because they kill the crops.

Also with the new padding system you have to be careful because it seems that they like it a lot and are going to reproduce a lot.

There are different methods, products and techniques to combat them. Today I come to tell one technique to prevent snails from climbing trees or tall-stemmed plants and ideas for improving and using it in more ways. It is a sweep to prevent them from going up to the plants.

How to configure TP-Link Router and DIGI card

tp-link mr600 router with Digi card

For a few years I have needed WIFI in an area with little coverage, where no cable, no fiber, or anything else reaches. The companies in the area with WiMax technology do not cover it either, so I have been with an Orange 4G router for several years. I didn’t get much bandwidth, only 3 -5 Mb but that worked for me. This year it did not exceed 200Kb so I had to look for options.

After trying several acquaintance cards. The company that works best for me is DIGI and to use its 4G coverage I have compared a 4g router, The Tp-link Archer MR600 and the results after a small configuration have been very good, achieving 15 to 20Mb of download.
