Comment on Endaq Steve Hanly blog about accelerometer sensitivity

Accelerometer Specifications: Deciphering an Accelerometer’s Datasheet by Steve Hanly https://blog.endaq.com/accelerometer-specifications-decoding-a-datasheet I see you mention temperature sensitivity. I am writing an article on gravimeters and recommending different ones. Someone estimated their response to temperature. It can be estimated for gravimeter arrays. Here is how I estimated it. Relation between gravity, magnetism and temperature at the earths

Question for Houston Astronomical Society and anyone else on the Internet

https://www.facebook.com/groups/AstronomyHouston Can you suggest a program to take two images from different cameras, combine and compare them? I am too tired to write more programs. Just wanted to look at some pictures I found on the web and see how the fit together. They are the same part of the sky, but different rotations, different

Why the sun moon tidal signal is so important for helping global sensor arrays with calibration

Shawn, I worked with the US Agency for International Development, the US State Department, World Bank and many international organizations.  Most countries cannot afford to do their own mineral exploration, so outsiders come and take what they have. I helped put microcomputer training and technology into that system so that some countries could afford to

Relation between gravity, magnetism and temperature at the earths surface

I wrote this yesterday, and then realized that if global climate change increases the global temperature by 1 degree then that will change the readings at all accelerometer sites. But the (word that starts with i) at NASA and other places don’t give you the absolute temperature time series, only the change. But the impact

Comment on my video Windows USB GPS Device Based on UBlox Chip and UCenter Software

Windows USB GPS Device Based on UBlox Chip and UCenter Software https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJZHVKGrl6Y @Ali Zitouna Hamed, I am not sure what you mean by “base ntrip”. I made this long ago and have not used UBlox lately. Since then i have been working on software defined radios, electromagnetic interference, gravitational wave detection, imaging arrays for gravitational

Comment on Equations for Reactance and Impedance Equations Video

Physics – RCL Circuits With Reactance and Impedance (1 of 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVS-vjHdC1c I like your video. But I put the equations and data into a spreadsheet, and could play with scenarios quickly. This is an old video. I hope you are encouraging people to use computers to manage the equations and data. Teach them to

Comment on Aerodynamic Center and Center of Pressure

Alexander, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67eTLeNwLgE You are using what looks like to be a good computer tool for these calculations and visualizations. But you don’t explain your tools and give links to let others know what to use, or what you recommend. I watched your hysteresis video. It is really shaky and hard to watch. You could use

Comment on a video about spatial filtering

Intro to Fourier Optics and the 4F correlator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcRB3TWIAXE Great presentation! My physics professor showed me this in the lab one day, more than 50 years ago now. He used black and white microfilm and microfiche. He showed me newspapers on microfiche that could be searched for specific things. Your clearer explanation of how to

Comment on Planetary Data System

https://pds-ppi.igpp.ucla.edu/search/view/?f=yes&id=pds://PPI/CO-E_SW_J_S-MAG-2-REDR-RAW-DATA-V2.0/DATA I like this site. It took me a while to understand it. But I don’t see the SIZE of the datasets in Bytes so I can plan on how large they might be and how long to download. And the tools that I need I have to find by reading. But that (the dependencies

Solar System Colonization – Comment on How to Terraform Venus video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-WO-z-QuWI (“terraform” OR “terraforming”) (“venus”) gives 14.3 Million entry points. There is certainly plenty of interest and people talking. The groups and individuals are just not working together effectively. (“planetary engineer” OR “planetary engineering”) has 34,600 entry points. Topic development on the Internet is generally mostly random and undirected. (“planetary” OR “planets”) (“engineering” OR “engineer”
