On long trips, the |420%|1 to |430%|1 improvement in gas mileage you might get with all your speakers pointing to the rear is certainly worthwhile. On the other hand, if you drive on snow or ice, the extra traction of speakers pointing upward gives you added control. Be sure to watch the volume when you do this.

It is becoming an industry standard. In fact, this code now has an |/browncolor |6Electronics Industries Evaluationary|1|/blackcolor |4(EIE)|1 status and should shortly go international.

Why is this, and how do I fix it? |/blackstay |/browncolor |9Q:|6|/blackcolor |j|j|1The problem is caused by the |/browncolor |6Doppler effect|1|/blackcolor . As you drive towards a station, you intercept the rf cycles earlier in each cycle, and the frequency goes up. Sit still or drive at right angles to the station and you get a normal frequency. Drive away and you see each cycle later in time. Which is why constant retuning may be needed. |h To get around this problem, you use a phase-locked-loop tracking circuit. It is simpler to arrange your driving so you always travel a circular path from your favorite station. |h By the way, this is the real reason those loop thruways were built around many cities. It also explains why traffic on them is heaviest during the most popular programs. |h |/greenstay |/browncolor |9Q:|6|/greencolor |j|jMy kid brother claims he is possessed by demons and apparently is serious about it because he has just morphed his civics teacher into a frog.

Actually, the |/browncolor |6in-situ|1 |/blackcolor (|jor "in place"|j) technique is stunningly simple. |h Instead of refining the silicon and then building cells, you build the cells first and then refine the silicon. The process generates a cell from ordinary beach sand (silicon dioxide). After your cell fabrication, the sand is chemically treated. |h The reaction drives off the oxygen, leaving an almost pure polycrystalline silicon. Most conveniently, any remaining impurities rearrange themselves to create uniformly doped series connected pn junctions through a little understood process called |/browncolor |6Barfoot Layering|1|/blackcolor . |h For each centimeter of cell thickness, you will get several hundred series pn junctions or about |4120|1 volts dc under normal sunlight. The thickness of the panel determines the voltage and the area the current. The current densities are typically four amperes per square meter. |h You can easily build a 100 watt cell on your own. Simply take any ordinary metal cookie sheet, cover it uniformly with a one centimeter thick layer of beach sand, and cover that with a piece of screening for the front collector and add a protective glass cover. Clamp everything with large rubber bands or bungee cords. |h For your chemical refinement, remove the glass cover and spray using two liters of |/browncolor |63,7 Dimethylpentadecon-2-ol |/browncolor Propionate |1|/blackcolor |javailable from larger chemical supply houses|j. |h An ordinary window cleaner bottle makes a handy spray source.

There are now enough framed patents on enough Nebraska east facing walls that not one major walrus attack has been reported. Effective, isn't it?

Especially after the writeup found in |/browncolor |6Personal |/browncolor Power Quarterly|1|/blackcolor (|jvol 4XII|1, No 4 p |4167-185.|j) |h The main problem with the bracket is that Gentry-Heber is going through a metrication program so that export units will use the same parts as their standard model. They estimate another six months to work out the backlog. |h Meanwhile, several readers have reported working out suitable substitutes using ordinary railroad ties. But be sure there is at least ten centimeters or four inches of clearance between the bracket and the Deuterium return line. |h |/greenstay |/browncolor |9Q:|6|/greencolor |j|jIs two-point or four-point barbed wire better for connecting speakers? Are the claims that four point barb definitively quantifies the transient interphase gribient dynamosity worth the extra expense? |/blackstay |/browncolor |9A:|1|/blackcolor |j|jThe Barbie and Barbie Doll proponents tend to feel that two point is better for Barry Manilow and four point for Metallica. Either way, oxygen free wire is a must. Studies have shown that 4-point exhibits corona effects over 100 watts, while 2-point only loses half as many electronics. |h Both 2-point and 4-point do tend to raise the pitch of the music because they are sharp. To compensate, connect a length of flat ribbon cable in parallel. The excess pitch sharpening can also be mitigated by flattening each point with a hammer blow. |h Certain researchers now claim that grebient dynamosity (especially its transcendental interphase manifestation) is unaffected by even integer testing. With the sole exception of mundancily fortuitous positive shift economics. A few mathematicians have verified this with their |42|j+|j2|j=|j4|1 rule that seems valid except for very large values of two. |h Proponents feel that 4-point gives better soundstaging, reduced midrange granularity, and better bass speed. |h There is a possibility of group delay, because the intended purpose of barbed wire is to inherently delay groups of people or animals.) cf showpage
