Just some trivia for the week

These are called ferrites.
They are used in the electronics industry to make efficient magnetic cores called ferrite cores for high-frequency inductors, transformers and antennas, and in various microwave components. Ferrite compounds are extremely low cost, being made mostly of iron oxide, and have excellent corrosion resistance.

Q: What are they for?

A: A ferrite bead is a passive device that filters high frequency noise energy over a broad frequency range. It becomes resistive over its intended frequency range and dissipates the noise energy in the form of heat.

A floating solar farm – one large enough to power 6,000 homes – is being considered for Penang’s harbour.

Its primary purpose is to supply cruise ships with renewable energy, making Penang Port appealing for international cruise lines eager to use sustainably produced electricity.

Another plus point for NOT eradicating bees. How important are these little marvels of nature.

Honeybee Swarms Can Produce as Much Electric Charge as a Storm Cloud Denser swarms create more atmospheric electricity, new research suggests

China has unveiled the world’s first meltdown-proof nuclear power plant, achieving a groundbreaking and potentially transformative feat in the field of nuclear energy.

The plant, developed by researchers at Tsinghua University, represents a major leap forward in nuclear energy safety, which has been under scrutiny since the catastrophic meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan over a decade ago.

China Built a Nuclear Power Plant That Technically Can’t Melt Down It stays cool on its own, even during a crisis.

Do solar panels have an after life?

Yes, according to this.

Treasure, not trash: Solar panels have huge value beyond first use The SEC’s head of stewardship explains why solar recycling is not a waste management story, but a story of reuse and recovery that will be critical to the shift to renewables.

And in Portugal -> World’s 1st megawatt-scale sea wave power project breaks ground

With the world looking for ways to meet its energy demands without emitting carbon dioxide, the demand for nuclear energy is rising. Unlike wind and solar power, nuclear power plants can supply energy around the clock.

This is something quite unique and interesting in Japan, not renewable energy but recycling natural resources at it's best

Electricity theft is a crime. You've been reminded again. Bitcoin mining is lucrative but do it the right way.

TNB reports RM3.4b loss from illicit Bitcoin mining activities | New Straits Times SERI KEMBANGAN: Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) lost RM3.4 billion in Peninsular Malaysia due to illicit bitcoin mining activities from 2018 to 2023.

This is potentially a disaster. Apart from you getting your hands or self to remove the serpent but it could potentially cause short circuiting which will kill the snake anyway. How is this possible?

Always be careful of exposed high voltage wires

"Alamak! kabel pengecas nak terputus. Tak apa, balut dengan pelekat jer dah boleh guna"

Ishh! JANGAN! Malang tidak berbau, JANGAN gunakan kabel elektrik yang rosak penebatnya, Jangan hanya balut kabel elekrik yang rosak dengan pelekat bagai "Kelip-Kelip Terbang Malam".... begitulah juga nyawa kita yang boleh terbang melayang"

This is worthy of a mention. Would you get your house 3D printed?

Almaty, Kazakhstan, recently saw the completion of Central Asia's inaugural 3D-printed house. It took only five days to print the main structure and another two months to finish the interior.
