Jolanda Jones, I was curious what a State Representative does. At 75, I finally have a little time to look. I tried writing to you on Facebook, but I think no one reads them. Acknowledging is a start. I found your House Bill “Relating to the inclusion of affordable housing as a qualifying project for

Adiabatic Flame Temperature at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwgQvi1Y24o I would pre-heat the oxygen and fuel molecules electromagnetically. Then record the 3D volumetric temperature distribution, tracking flow of reactants. To start. And find the temperature dependent heat capacities data or models. To start. Calibrate and optimized the linked models. Track spectroscopic IR, VIS, thermal, UV, whatever is available. Share

At https://www.spectral-systems.com/technical-data-sheet/zns-zinc-sulfide/ the image for IR spectrum at https://www.spectral-systems.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/2-mm-ZnS-IR-Spectrum.jpg is missing. I am trying to find ZnS or ZnSe lenses to test an idea. But since it does not have to be durable, any solid low cost material transparent from 2-18 micron would do.
To: Fuzhou Hundreds Optics Inc 100Optics.com, Some very low light and NIR sensors might be able to pick up LWIR, out to thermal wavelengths 5-15 microns — if they used ZnSe lenses or GaAs. You could check pretty easily. I think the Sony Starvis might work but would need to use statistical methods and high

Why is this Beach in Southern California Radioactive? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0gIigW1HjA If you search ( oil well radioactive sludge ) you will find that radioactive materials are common in oil drilling. There will be drilled materials mixed with the drilling mud. I remember that propane has to be stored for a while because it’s molecular mass

I came across a ZWO ASI715MC recently and bought one to check out. But they are NOT into machine vision or security, since their chosen market is astronomers. Over the years I see Sony doing innovative things, but finding a stable development environment is difficult. Perhaps working directly with Sony would be more productive, fundamental

I know what back pain feels like for extended periods, so I have a bit of understanding and empathy for your pain. Physical therapy is a good idea. Yes, you can share your DNA results with others. I have helped about 200 others with their DNA, for adoptions. missing parents, brick walls and just to

ElectoBoom: Making a Water Railgun at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy81O7LrB84 1 cubic centimeter of water is 1 gram = 1E-3 Kg. Add 1 Watt Second = 1 Joule of energy. (1/2) * m * v^2 = Joules Velocity_meterspersecond^2 = 2*Joules/Kilograms Velocity_MetersPerSecond = sqrt(2*Joules/Kilograms) sqrt(2*(1 Joule)/1E-3 kilogram) = sqrt(2000 Joules/kg) = 44.7213595 (m/s) = 100.0388320956 Miles per Hour Note:

Tomorrow We Vote: What Do State Representatives Actually Do? – TWV University (Lesson 2) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRqe9cyxIDI It would be a lot of work, but I think it would be a good exercise in government to ask “What do the State Representatives of all States in the United States do? What are they paid to do?
