Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the effects of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack may sound completely harmless or at least over-exaggerated, the truth is it would be devastating and the United States is not prepared for it. An EMP is simply a quick but intense burst of energy that has the potential to wipe out information, electrical, and power grid systems across a wide area. While EMP's can occur naturally, such as from lightning or a solar flare, they can also happen from man made devices detonated in the atmosphere. If a powerful enough EMP were to be detonated at a high enough altitude in the center of the United States, the power grid would be completely knocked out over an incredibly vast area spanning hundreds if not thousands of miles. Vehicles and electronic devices would cease to work as well. Because the American government is so underprepared for an EMP, it would take at least a full decade at the bare minimum to recover from it, and millions would be killed from starvation, dehydration, murder, and suicide. There can also be no question that if any of our enemies wanted to deal a truly devastating blow to the United States, an EMP is how they would go about it. The good news, however, is that you can prepare for an EMP. And one of the most important preparations you can make for it is to build a Faraday cage to protect your electronic equipment so they will continue to work after the EMP blast. A Faraday cage, which has been around since the 1830s, is simply a protective container with a conductive outside layer to protect the devices inside from the electromagnetic pulse. A Faraday cage can also be built to any size to accommodate whatever it is you need to protect: phones, laptops, appliances, radios, and so on. This book will serve as the ultimate beginner's guide into Faraday cages and how to build them at home. Within the pages of this book we will dive into the following topics on Faraday cages: - How Do Faraday Cages Work? - What Are The Uses For A Faraday Cage? - Why You Need A Faraday Cage - 4 Faraday Cages You Can Build At Home (And How To Build Them) - Items To Store In Your Faraday Cage - Common Faraday Cage Myths Even if you cannot protect everything from an EMP attack, and even though you will not be able to maintain your same way of life after the blast, you can protect a few devices that will help you adjust to life better after the EMP hits. The ability to communicate with others who live a great distance away from you or still having access to critical information will make a huge difference in a world that has been essentially set back to the Stone Ages.
Download or read book The Chemical History of a Candle written by Michael Faraday and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the primitive pine-torch to the paraffin candle, how wide an interval! between them how vast a contrast! The means adopted by man to illuminate his home at night, stamp at once his position in the scale of civilisation. The fluid bitumen of the far East, blazing in rude vessels of baked earth; the Etruscan lamp, exquisite in form, yet ill adapted to its office; the whale, seal, or bear fat, filling the hut of the Esquimaux or Lap with odour rather than light; the huge wax candle on the glittering altar, the range of gas lamps in our streets,—all have their stories to tell. All, if they could speak (and, after their own manner, they can), might warm our hearts in telling, how they have ministered to man's comfort, love of home, toil, and devotion. Surely, among the millions of fire-worshippers and fire-users who have passed away in earlier ages, some have pondered over the mystery of fire; perhaps some clear minds have guessed shrewdly near the truth. Think of the time man has lived in hopeless ignorance: think that only during a period which might be spanned by the life of one man, has the truth been known. Atom by atom, link by link, has the reasoning chain been forged. Some links, too quickly and too slightly made, have given way, and been replaced by better work; but now the great phenomena are known—the outline is correctly and firmly drawn—cunning artists are filling in the rest, and the child who masters these Lectures knows more of fire than Aristotle did. The candle itself is now made to light up the dark places of nature; the blowpipe and the prism are adding to our knowledge of the earth's crust; but the torch must come first.

Download or read book Metamaterial Electromagnetic Wave Absorbers written by Willie J. Padilla and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2022-01-24 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electromagnetic metamaterials are a family of shaped periodic materials which achieve extraordinary scattering properties that are difficult or impossible to achieve with naturally occurring materials. This book focuses on one such feature of electromagnetic metamaterials—the theory, properties, and applications of the absorption of electromagnetic radiation. We have written this book for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and practitioners, covering the background and tools necessary to engage in the research and practice of metamaterial electromagnetic wave absorbers in various fundamental and applied settings. Given the growing impact of climate change, the call for innovations that can circumvent the use of conventional energy sources will be increasingly important. As we highlight in Chapter 6, the absorption of radiation with electromagnetic metamaterials has been used for energy harvesting and energy generation, and will help to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Other applications ranging from biochemical sensing to imaging are also covered. We hope this book equips interested readers with the tools necessary to successfully engage in applied metamaterials research for clean, sustainable energy. This book consists of six chapters. Chapter 1 provides an introduction and a brief history of electromagnetic wave absorbers; Chapter 2 focuses on several theories of perfect absorbers; Chapter 3 discusses the scattering properties achievable with metamaterial absorbers; Chapter 4 provides significant detail on the fabricational processes; Chapter 5 discusses examples of dynamical absorbers; and Chapter 6 highlights applications of metamaterial absorbers.

Try The Cheesecake (That You Will Love The Most) with a crumb base, or a bought biscuit base, or no base, or a sponge base, or even a failed cookie base! And from there, pick a topping from sour cream, to crumb, to fruity bits. The recipes are divided across eight chapters: Doughs, Pastries & Crusts; Tarts, Pies, a Crostata & a Galette; The Cake List; One in the Hand; Yeasted Bakes; Fruit-full; Creams, Custards, Fillings, Glazes and Buttercreams; and Finishing Touches. While Natalie's creations are inspired by classics the world over, they are irreverent too, and in Beatrix Bakes she delights in showing readers that – once they get the foundations right – the truest magic will come from a willingness to play (with the insurance of her many clever ideas and back-up plans in their apron pocket!). Beatrix Bakes will guide anyone who loves the adventure of baking to perfect their skills and break the baking mould.
