Solar PV Off-Grid Power
Summary
Solar energy is a formidable resource. Solar electric power systems, based on PV panels, make effective power supplies for your off-grid electricity needs. The sun distributes over 1,000 watts per square meter at peak and is the natural power supply for life on Earth. The sun, can also be your power supply. The best kept industrial secret is that we don't need to burn fossil fuels for industrial power. Solar PV panels, true 21st century tools, can provide daily energy production that can be used directly, or stored for later use, on demand, to power your remote electric loads onsite - with no pollution or fuel costs. This book is a resource for building your own solar PV supply for remote cameras, LED lighting systems, communication, sensors, and remote cabin and home power systems with solar PV power system examples. The solar energy resource varies with time of day, season, and local climate. Solar PV panels, sized properly, produce reliable and predictable energy production, despite daily variations, when calculated properly for each month. Tap into PV panels to charge battery banks for reliable DC, and, with inverters, AC power on demand. Remote site power supplies, designed and installed properly, offer real power for running a variety of electronic, motor, and large draw devices.

The Consciousness of the Atom
Summary
Thinkers everywhere are conscious of two things, first, that the region of mystery has never before been so clearly defined, and secondly, that that region can be entered more easily than has hitherto been the case; it may, therefore, perhaps be induced to render up some of its secrets if investigators of all schools pursue their search with determination. The problems with which we are faced, as we study the known facts of life and existence, are susceptible of clearer definition than heretofore, and though we do not know the answer to our questions, though we have not as yet discovered the solution to our problems, though no panacea lies ready to our hand whereby we can remedy the world's ills, yet the very fact that we can define them, that we can point in the direction in which mystery lies, and that the light of science, of religion, and of philosophy, has been shed upon vast tracts which were earlier considered lands of darkness, is a guarantee of success in the future. We know so much more than was the case 500 years ago, except in a few circles of wise men and mystics; we have discovered so many laws of nature, even though as yet we cannot apply them, and the knowledge of "things as they are" (and I choose these words very deliberately) has made immense strides. Nevertheless, the mystery land still remains to be opened up, and our problems are still numerous.

The Dream Universe
Summary
A vivid and captivating narrative about how modern science broke free of ancient philosophy, and how theoretical physics is returning to its unscientific roots In the early 17th century, Galileo broke free from the hold of ancient Platonic and Aristotelian philosophy. He drastically changed the framework through which we view the natural world when he asserted that we should base our theory of reality on what we can observe rather than pure thought. In the process, he invented what we would come to call science. This set the stage for all the breakthroughs that followed - from Kepler to Newton to Einstein. But in the early 20th century when quantum physics, with its deeply complex mathematics, entered into the picture, something began to change. Many physicists began looking to the equations first and physical reality second. As we investigate realms further and further from what we can see and what we can test, we must look to elegant, aesthetically pleasing equations to develop our conception of what reality is. As a result, much of theoretical physics today is something more akin to the philosophy of Plato than the science to which the physicists are heirs. In The Dream Universe, Lindley asks what is science when it becomes completely untethered from measurable phenomena?

Fjerne kloder
Summary
Der er ikke otte, men milliarder af planeter i Universet, og mange af dem ligger i et lunt smørhul, hvor de potentielt kan huse liv. Den opdagelse er en af de største i den moderne astronomi, og vi er kun lige begyndt at forstå, hvad der egentlig gemmer sig derude i kosmos af bizarre kloder. "Fjerne kloder" beskriver erkendelsesrejsen, fra Giordano Bruno blev brændt på bålet i år 1600 for sin kætterske idé om uendelig mange planeter - og til konstruktionen af små satellitter, som måske kan besøge de nærmeste af disse exoplaneter og lede efter livstegn på dem. Undervejs møder vi forskerne ved fronten, som kigger hinsides solsystemet og kæmper for at besvare det ultimative spørgsmål: Er vi alene?

Vagus Nerve (Gold Edition)
Summary
You are about to learn how to leverage the power of the vagus nerve to deal with chronic inflammation, trauma, epilepsy, stress, depression, anxiety, seizures, heart problems, gut problems, and so much more through vagus nerve stimulation/activation! Are you aware that your body has secret healing capabilities? These capabilities are found in the most unfathomable of systems - the nervous system, and in particular, just one nerve that runs from the head down to the abdomen and passing through different organs and organ systems: the vagus nerve! It does that through acting as an information superhighway that connects various organs and organ systems! And just like in the real world, if the flow of "traffic" within this superhighway is disrupted, the "towns" within the network suffer. The "towns" in this case are the organs and organ systems through which the vagus nerve passes. And the consequences of the vagus nerve not working optimally include problems like migraines, Alzheimer’s, tinnitus, leaky gut, obesity, heart problems, depression, trauma, stress, IBS and other gut problems, anxiety, epilepsy, and chronic inflammation, among many others. So if you have any of these problems, you should look into the functioning of your vagus nerve, as it may be the underlying reason for your problems. So how exactly is the vagus nerve related to all these? Are there any science-backed studies to explain this connection? Which organs and organ systems does the vagus nerve pass through/connect with? How do you tell that your vagus nerve is dysfunctional? Which diseases are you likely to suffer from if your vagus nerve has a problem? What approaches can you use to neutralize the vagus nerve problems that may be causing you various problems? If you have these and other related questions about using the vagus nerve to free yourself from all manner of diseases, this two-in-one audiobook is for you! More precisely, inside this two-in-one audiobook, you’ll learn: The basics about the vagus nerve including its location, anatomy, its main parts, how it functions, its place in the nervous system, its role as an intestinal immune homeostasis modulator, and more The vagus nerve as a link in between the central nervous system and ENS The ins and outs of the concept of neuromodulatory release by the vagus nerve The numerous health disorders associated with vagus nerve problems How to effectively stimulate your vagus nerve with the vagus nerve stimulator, including the ins and outs of the vagus nerve stimulator implant The various commercial vagus nerve stimulation devices, including the conditions that VNS can treat The various health benefits of vagus nerve stimulation The ins and outs of vagus nerve stimulation therapy and surgery The place of the vagus nerve in GI health and inflammation control

Is Einstein Still Right?
Summary
Albert Einstein is often viewed as the icon of genius, and his theories are admired for their beauty and correctness. Yet the final judge of any theory is the rigorous test of experiment, not the fame of its inventor or the allure of its mathematics. For decades, general relativity has passed test after test with flying colors, including some remarkable new tests using the recently detected gravitational waves. Still, there are reasons for doubt. Einstein's theory of gravity, as beautiful as it is, seems to be in direct contradiction with another theory he helped create: quantum mechanics. Until recently, this was considered to be a purely academic affair. But as more and more data pours in from the most distant corners of the universe, hinting at bizarre stuff called "dark energy" and "dark matter", some scientists have begun to explore the possibility that Einstein's theory may not provide a complete picture of the cosmos. From the explosions of neutron stars and the collisions of black holes to the modern scientific process as a means to seek truth and understanding in the cosmos, this audiobook takes the listener on a journey of learning and discovery that has been 100 years in the making.
