A Surprise Telephone Call From China
2140 hours my cellular rang... It was Lin. After exchanging pleasantries he arrived at the crux of the call. A manufacturer is contemplating mass production of a hand-held meter referred to a...

I feel my minor contribution of donating a smart fone to Mexiwawa, in some way, helped forward progress for all the scope staring at techies of the world.
I would love to see smaller lighter, quick charging LI Ion batteries that are affordable, for the RV industry. Simple wish, I know. I can't afford a Tesla yet, and I don't like the range of the Nissan Leaf. Something's gotta give.
What else... smaller solar panels that are more efficient than the 15 to 18% yield we get currently. When electric cars are charged daily, fully, by use solely of solar panels, only then can you measure their carbon foot print as being reduced... not until they are charged completely off the grid can you start measuring reduced carbon foot print. Or nuclear print, if the electricity is made out of splitting atoms.
One can only wish, but it takes a good brain with foresight and a good conduit of connections in the right places to make these things happen.
Sorry I cost you 17 minutes there Mexi... think it was a good investment of time though.
Think it's only fair you send Lin a consulting fee invoice of some sort... Knowledge is power, power is money. Where's your cut?
The extent of my electronics experience goes back to 7th or 8th grade and bread boarding a Xenon strobe light, and then building it. had a pot so variable speed. Plenty of good sized capacitors in that one, got bit by the big one once while on the bread board.
My Radio Shack adventures were nothing more than buying AA NiCd batteries, heat sinking them while soldering them in doing a R&R battery replacement on a perfectly good $70 Norelco electric triple head razor that the original set wore out on. I have replaced 3 sets of batteries in that electric razor now, it's close to 25 or 30 years old now, and keeps on ticking.
Some bits of electricity I understand, other bits of electronics baffle me beyond comprehension. Not in the same league as the rest of you guys in this thread.
