Things I Learned: Keep Microscope Slides Clean

Keep microscop slides... clean! New Q Codes; (Learning by using: aka experiential learning.)

I started a new github repository for notes on my goal of using the Foldscope to look at something every day. It worked. I looked.

What I learned: I put a solder blob scraped off the bottom of the radio case into a slide with two adhesive transparent sitckers holding it in place. I learned thta I have to be super careful to keep other things out of the slide, especially with the adhesive covers. There were lots of interesting things to look at, but not many of them involved the edge of the solder blob.

CW Operation (Morse Code):

I learned two new Q-Codes today, one by using it QSK: "Can I interrupt?", and another by hearing it: QRZ: "Who is calling me?"

There's a nice Q Code reference at:

There's a nice page of ham radio CW abbrevisations at

The site is run by KB6NU who've I've been acquainted with for the last decade or so. All of what I've seen them do is FB (fine business in our circles, not that other social siet.)

But! The site doesn't include Q-Codes. Wikipeidia does.

Although not all of them match up with KB6NU's definitions... QSK for example.

Now that I've used QSK, it'll stick in my head, and that brings me to experiential learning, but anyway.

Cool Math Tricks: Deriving the Divergence, (Del or Nabla) into New (Cylindrical) Coordinate Systems

Now available as a Kindle ebook for 99 cents ! Get a spiffy ebook, and fund more physics The following is a pretty lengthy procedure, but converting the divergence, (nabla, del) operator between coordinate systems comes up pretty often. While there are tables for converting between common coordinate systems , there seem to be fewer explanations of the procedure for deriving the conversion, so here goes! What do we actually want? To convert the Cartesian nabla to the nabla for another coordinate system, say… cylindrical coordinates. What we’ll need: 1. The Cartesian Nabla: 2. A set of equations relating the Cartesian coordinates to cylindrical coordinates: 3. A set of equations relating the Cartesian basis vectors to the basis vectors of the new coordinate system: How to do it: Use the chain rule for differentiation to convert the derivatives with respect to the Cartesian variables to derivatives with respect to the cylindrical variables. The chain ...

The Alcubierre Warp Drive Tophat Function and Open Science with Sage

I transferred yesterday's Mathematica file with the Alcubierre warp drive[2] line element and space curvature calculations to the +Sage Mathematical Software System today, (the files been added to the public repository [3]). If you haven't used Sage before, it's a Python based software package that's similar in functionality to Mathematica. Oh, and it' free. I also worked a little more on understanding the theory, but frankly, I made far more progress with the software than the theory. What follows will be a little more of the Alcubierre theory, plus, a cool Sage interactive demo of one of the Alcubierre functions[1], as well as a bit about my first experience with using Sage. Theory The theory is fun, but it's moving slowly. Here's the chalk board from this morning's discussion Alcubierre setup the derivation using something called the 3+1 formalism which means we consider space to be flat, (in this case), slices that are labelled ...

The Valentine's Day Magnetic Monopole

There's an assymetry to the form of the two Maxwell's equations shown in picture 1. While the divergence of the electric field is proportional to the electric charge density at a given point, the divergence of the magnetic field is equal to zero. This is typically explained in the following way. While we know that electrons, the fundamental electric charge carriers exist, evidence seems to indicate that magnetic monopoles, the particles that would carry magnetic 'charge', either don't exist, or, the energies required to create them are so high that they are exceedingly rare. That doesn't stop us from looking for them though! Keeping with the theme of Fairbank[1] and his academic progeny over the semester break, today's post is about the discovery of a magnetic monopole candidate event by one of the Fairbank's graduate students, Blas Cabrera[2]. Cabrera was utilizing a loop type of magnetic monopole detector. Its operation is in...
