Wyspy Cooka – Wikipedia, wolna encyklopedia

Od 1888 wyspy stanowiły protektorat brytyjski, zwany od 1893 Cook Islands Federation. W 1901 wyspy zostały przekazane Nowej Zelandii, a w 1903 zostało wyłączone z nich Niue jako osobna posiadłość. Od roku 1965 wyspy są terytorium autonomicznym – państwem samorządowym swobodnie stowarzyszonym z Nową Zelandią.

Crystal earphone/earpiece

Toggle navigation rimstar . Crystal earphone/earpiece. Crystal earpieces, or earphones, consist of a piezoelectric crystal attached to a diaphragm (see diagram below.) The fluctuating voltage from the crystal radio''s output is applied to the crystal causing it to vibrate. The vibration moves the diaphragm which creates sound waves in the air.

Solar air heating (solar furnace)

Rick''s screen/matrix solar air heater - Rick, in Spain, built these screen/matrix style solar air heaters. His blog has several write-ups starting with his first back in 2018.Soon after, he added a second solar air heater and blogged about the efficiency.The photo on his most recent blog post about them from November 2021 shows he''s come a long way. .

20kV DC power supply (homemade/DIY) using flyback with built in

This is different than my 30kV high voltage power supply that used a flyback transformer without built in diodes and a Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplier or tripler that contained the diodes (see photos below.) However, the multiplier does allow that one to get to 30kV. On the other hand, this commercially made multipler is hard to find, as it the flyback without built in diodes.

Efficiency and conservation

I cook long grain brown rice using the stove for only 10 minutes instead of the normal 45 minutes this way! Low flow shower heads & on/off valve - uses less water and less water-heating fuel: electricity or natural gas or propane,

Make a razor blade diode

To wire it up, put it in the same place where a regular germanium diode would go in your crystal radio or foxhole radio. The diagrams below are for the crystal radio I use most which is the same one as in the photos on this page. The pencil is connected to the same place that the end of the diode without the stripe goes.

Solar cooking

The Copenhagen solar cooker is a clever design that has the cooking pot sit flat while the reflectors are adjusted around it. Since the reflectors are flexible, you can get a fairly good amount of sunlight reflected to the pot whether the sun is low or high in the sky.

Crystal radios

Crystal radios get their power from the radio signal themselves. There''s no need to supply batteries or plug into a wall socket. I originally got into them to see how much power they could produce as part of my interest in non-conventional energy though I quickly abandoned that effort due to the low power output. But I kept playing with them anyway since I got such a buzz from

Fresnel lens solar cooker

[The remaining photo''s are of a newer version. Notice how the food is always at the focal point of the fresnel lens. This is done by having the pivot point for the lens'' "legs" lined up with the grill table no matter what angle the lens is at.

Solar Cooking course Page 1

What, when and where can you cook? You can cook anything (e.g. bread, meat, cake, eggs, rice,) though for some things you have to have the right type of solar cooker. This is the same as cooking indoors where sometimes you''ll use the burners on top of the stove, sometimes the oven and sometimes the microwave. More about the types of cookers

Solar cooking course

The course took 3 hours and included time enough to warm up chilli using a Modified CooKit and cook carrots and celery in water using a car sunshade cooker. How you do things will be different since you''ll use different cookers and have a different climate. I highly recommend doing this course on a day when you can solar cook.

Heat-retention/haybox cooking

The normal way to cook long grain brown rice (for one person) is: put 1/4 cup rice in a pot, add 1 2/3 cup water, bring rice and water to a boil, cover, turn heat to low and leave for 45 minutes. The heat-retention way of cooking it is (the differences are highlighted below): put 1/4 cup rice in a pot, add 1 2/3 cup water,
