You could say the same about C and D batteries too.

They’re all 1.5V

Yeah, I don’t see it any different from a person that says

“I want to be called Micheal, not Mike”

Interesting idea,

But search sites currently can’t find anything in lemmy.

So how will they link to this?

Yeah, have you seen the size of those? Those are chem lasers in order to get the wattage needed to destroy something.

Plus you need the electronics/mechanics to track the device perfectly to keep the laser on target in order for it to do damage.

All completely unnecessary to drop a small drone out of the sky.

Nah, lasers too big. It would be a simple birdshot shotgun. Its detection and aiming.

When they are high up, they can be hard to spot and hear.
But a pair of sensitive mic’s and a camera designed to look for them could easily be paired with some AR glasses.

What sucks is that us hobbist’s can’t get FPV, motors, ESC’s, or batteries at reasonable prices (if at all)

The reality of it, is this is short lived.

Anti-Air meant for small drones like this is coming and soon.

And it will shut these down quickly.

Yeah, that isn’t going to work, because either

1. !>25% of your population doesn’t believe women have that right

or

1. Your countries existing laws give too much voting power to a minority

hahaha… it saddens me that only those >30yrs old may get this.

You know what the world doesn’t need?

an AI model trained on the old Reddit Hive Mind.

Start with SNAP CIRCUITS toys. Even if your an adult, these are a start.

Then upgrade to a ELEGOO UNO Electronics kit off Amazon.

It’ll give you the basics of powering stuff, and then basics of signals.

Some kind of RC Car, Multicopter, Self built 3D Printer hobby will also help get you started.

No matter how hard you try.

Bits of that unwashed shell are getting in your food.

government regulation to force companies to begin using a modular system

Yeah, that’s fair. But the issue is also similar to cell phones.

Each battery is unique because it needs to fit the unique layout of the vehicle. Not to mention the battery tech is moving so fast, that the chemistry of the battery itself is changing every few years.

I suspect China’s approach to a vehicle where you hot-swap the batteries instead of charging will be the way it goes. Someone will do it, it will be most $$$ efficient and therefore profitable, and then it will force them all to adopt the same approach.

The replacing the battery is simply a supply issue.

There is such a demand and so little supply, that if you want to buy just a battery (and not the entire car) you are out of luck. They’ll put that battery in a new car and sell it before selling it to you as a replacement.

But that’s short term. There are a huge number of battery plants already breaking ground and coming online.

In 2 years or so, the price to replace the battery will be a HELL of a lot lower, and the issue you linked above will be long gone.

I can now finally solder things easier.

Use Push to Talk a lot more while gaming.

Hold the ladder, brace, and hold a nail and hammer all at the same time.

Stuff with motors are, like air con and refrigerators. Those are better left on AC.

No. Trend is they are all showing up with frequency drives. Of which those inverters are rectifying to DC before making their own AC.
Efficiency gains are massive of a frequency drive , hence why they are doing it.
Would be even better if they could drop the first rectifying circuit and just use the inverter portion only.

You lose very little by rectifying AC

You lose a lot actually in all the small cheap rectifiers that are in every device in the house.

Where a single purpose designed FET rectifier that is built for efficiency at the breaker would be drastically better.

You wouldn’t have to.

Every device instead of having an expensive PD communication device in it, would have an even cheaper PWM DC Step-down.

No communication needed.

Each device would just draw what it needs to.

_ It wants 3.3V, or 5V, or 12V, or 48V, or 18.7V,

Exactly

That’s why if you had a 110VDC supply at the wall, you do a simple PWM step-down to the required voltage in every device.

LOADS cheaper/efficient than any USB-C PD circuit…

Saves on transformers, saves on dozens of USB PD wall outlets, saves on communication needed to communicate the PD required between each device and every USB PD wall outlet.

Much cheaper. More efficient.

If only the wall was 100VDC instead of AC

No, AC requires large heavy transformers and then rectifying.

DC dropping down to a lower DC is way easier and more efficient.

Well, I mean if you don’t understand power electronics I don’t see how you can make that statement.
