[grc] Cell phone hybrid?

Mon Nov 7 12:17:55 PST 2022

Dear radio kitchen table of experts in getting it done with what's on hand!

WHAT do y'all use to record *both sides* of a *cell phone* conversation for
a radio interview??

The "updated" operating systems now block cell phones from recording the
incoming voices in applications now...

Are we going to have to figure out how to put Linux on our cell phones to
get functionalities back?

In the meantime... what workarounds are y'all finding?

I did find THIS ... but its *primitive*.

WE USED to make a little mini-hybrid by taking the 3.5mm audio jack and
sending their voice to one channel and mine to another, but now cell phones
have NO AUDIO JACK for hands free anymore!

PS: I kind of disappeared bc of Cancer,  now its metastasized to the
backbone and hips and so I've abandoned trying to cure it and I'm working
on one last big project on my way out and want to produce some interviews
for radio, podcasts etc. Ocean Acidification destroying the phytoplankton
that make 70%of the oxygen we breathe !

And solutions... such as building solar synthetic fuels project that
extracts CO² from the air with solar power thereby stopping that 6th mass
extinction by closing the carbon loop for transportation- so we can stop
getting carbon out of the ground!

First the two article excerpts of the science on Ocean Acidification

Then the solution:

=====

40% loss of oxygen production in just the last mere
50 (fifty!) years is going to make EVERYTHING we've taken for GRANTED a
scarce commodity in a STEEP curve into Mass Extinction!!

The monsters realise they must disenfranchise absolutely as many people as
possible bc the jig is up for the current world order!
Nature is going to take us into a new world order whether we like it or not
unless we change course DRAMATICALLY!

The key to saving society ... is THROWING OUT THE RULES THAT GOT US HERE!

Know whats worse than nuclear winter over Ukraine?

Winning. Winning is worse if it returns us to a status quo that BOILS us
off the planet.

We're in way more danger than just rising sea levels - we may kill the
ocean that contains phytoplankton that make up 70% of the oxygen we breathe!

Carbonic acid coming out of the air by washing excess carbon dioxide is
acidifying the ocean and dissolving the shells of the phytoplankton that
are made out of calcium!

The phytoplankton that makes 70% of the oxygen we breathe are being
*dissolved* by Ocean Acidification!

Ocean acidification  results from Carbonic acid coming out of the air by
rain washing increased carbon dioxide is acidifying the ocean and
dissolving the shells of the phytoplankton that are made out of calcium!

"In the past decade ocean oxygen levels have taken a dive—an alarming trend
that is linked to climate change, says Andreas Oschlies, an oceanographer
at the Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research Kiel in Germany, whose team
tracks ocean oxygen levels worldwide. “We were surprised by the intensity
of the changes we saw, how rapidly oxygen is going down in the ocean and
how large the effects on marine ecosystems are,” he says.

It is no surprise to scientists that warming oceans are losing oxygen, but
the scale of the dip calls for urgent attention, Oschlies says. Oxygen
levels in some tropical regions have dropped by a startling 40 percent in
the last 50 years, some recent studies reveal. Levels have dropped more
subtly elsewhere, with an average loss of 2 percent globally.

The solutions are Beyond any Cult of Personality be that Bernie Sanders or
Trump and must be structural such as ranked-choice voting as an example
that is already passed in the conservative and Rural States of Maine and
Alaska!

If that fails then it is time for a Constitutional Convention as the
current one is obviously no longer up to the task.

This time Humanity is the meteor/volcano:

We are repeating the Permian Mass Extinction pattern of destroying the
phytoplankton that make 70%of the oxygen we breathe through ocean
acidification.

"The largest extinction in Earth's history marked the end of the Permian
period, some 252 million years ago. Long before dinosaurs, our planet was
populated with plants and animals that were mostly obliterated after a
series of massive volcanic eruptions in Siberia.

Fossils in ancient seafloor rocks display a thriving and diverse marine
ecosystem, then a swath of corpses. Some 96 percent of marine species were
wiped out during the "Great Dying," followed by millions of years when life
had to multiply and diversify once more.

What has been debated until now is exactly what made the oceans
inhospitable to life – the high acidity of the water, metal and sulfide
poisoning, a complete lack of oxygen, or simply higher temperatures.

New research from the University of Washington and Stanford University
combines models of ocean conditions and animal metabolism with published
lab data and paleoceanographic records to show that the Permian mass
extinction in the oceans was caused by global warming that left animals
unable to breathe. As temperatures rose and the metabolism of marine
animals sped up, the warmer waters could not hold enough oxygen for them to
survive. The study is published in the Dec. 7 issue of Science.

------____----- and the solution:

"This pilot plant runs on concentrating solar thermal energy. One hundred
and sixty-nine sun-tracking reflector panels, each presenting three square
meters (~32 sq ft) of surface area, redirect sunlight into a 16-cm (6.3-in)
hole in the solar reactor at the top of the 15-m-tall (49-ft) central
tower. This reactor receives an average of about 2,500 suns' worth of
energy – about 50 kW of solar thermal power.

This heat is used to drive a two-step thermochemical redox cycle. Water and
pure carbon dioxide are fed in to a ceria-based redox reaction, which
converts them simultaneously into hydrogen and carbon monoxide, or syngas.
Because this is all being done in a single chamber, it's possible to tweak
the rates of water and CO2 to live-manage the exact composition of the
syngas.

This syngas is fed to a Gas-to-Liquid (GtL) unit at the bottom of the
tower, which produced a liquid phase containing 16% kerosene and 40%
diesel, as well as a wax phase with 7% kerosene and 40% diesel – proving
that the ceria-based ceramic solar reactor definitely produced syngas pure
enough for conversion into synthetic fuels.

“We are the first to demonstrate the entire thermochemical process chain
from water and CO2 to kerosene in a fully-integrated solar tower system,”
said ETH Professor Aldo Steinfeld, the corresponding author of the research
paper. “This solar tower fuel plant was operated with a setup relevant to
industrial implementation, setting a technological milestone towards the
production of sustainable aviation fuels."
