"The hardware had been cumbersome and unwieldy, requiring its own power supply. Nelson thought of using a Hewlett Packard palm computer, which was not much bigger than a pocket tape recorder, with a miniaturized REG device sitting on top, plugged into the serial port, kept in place with a piece of Velcro. Nelson wasn't interested in whether he'd got more heads than tails since no one would be expressing an intention. All he wanted to determine was whether the machine had deviated in any direction away from its 50-50 random activity. Any change ?" - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"The problem emerges when anything becomes a rigid, singular power supply. The person who is attached solely to control as a source of energy will likely "hit a wall" when parenting, as most kids will resist a parent's need to control. I believe that nature wants those people who derive energy primarily from effecting change to expand their knowledge of life-—perhaps learning how energizing silliness or compassion can be. An important way of reenergizing yourself is first recognizing what you have relied on as a source of energy and then experimenting in another zone." - Bruce E. Levine, Surviving America's Depression Epidemic: How to Find Morale, Energy, and Community in a World Gone Crazy (Get the book.)

"A solar-powered, hand-cranked radio that is tuned in to an educational station, the Freeplay Lifeline Radio requires no power supply or teaching staff. Placed in a tent or a community gathering space, the radio becomes a tool for learning. The Freeplay has been distributed throughout the world by international aid agencies, which use it to provide news bulletins during times of disaster, in addition to the regular educational programming. In remote areas, the Freeplay broadcasts school classes and even public health information; in Madagascar, a serial radio drama teaches AIDS education." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) "These appliances use built-in features that would react the same way whether they were plugged into the wall outlet or connected to some space-age power supply. But a new generation of. truly intelligent appliances is emerging. These machines actually interact with smart grids to help protect both your wallet and the grid itself. For instance, the GridWise project, a collaboration between the U.S." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Barnard's much-heralded surgery spawned further development of the artificial heart program and culminated in a National Institutes of Health (NIH) report that outlined the obstacles as technical: biomaterials and power supply. In December 1982, Seattle dentist Barney Clark received the first totally artificial heart as a permanent replacement—the Jarvik 7. The heart was not "totally implantable" because it had to be connected to a power source outside the body. On the thirteenth postoperative day, the implanted heart began to fail, and Clark developed an overwhelming infection." - Richard A. Deyo M.D. M.P.H., Donald L.

"It was composed of 30 separate units (plus power supply and forced-air cooling); weighed over 30 tons; and contained more than 18,000 vacuum tubes, 1,500 relays, and hundreds of thousands of resistors, capacitors, and inductors. On completion, ENIAC was put into service for calculations involved in the design of the hydrogen bomb. It served as the nation's main computational workhorse through 1952, and was finally dismantled in 1955. UNIVAC After the success of ENIAC, Mauchly and Eckert decided to go into business for themselves." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)

"Several cables linked the equipment to the high voltage power supply, the pre-amp power supply, and the signal counter. After you set up this complicated and troublesome nest of equipment you are finally ready to begin measuring the neutron energy spectrum. The principle is simple enough. As I explained earlier, neutrons collide and bounce like coins or other macroscopic bodies. (See Chapter 2, "Measuring Neutrons.") When a neutron flies into the scintillator and collides with a proton in the liquid, it transfers some portion of its energy to the proton. This makes the proton move." - Jed Rothwell, Nuclear Transmutation: The Reality of Cold Fusion (Get the book.) "The heater power supply current and voltage were steady at 20 V, 3.0 A, just as they had been before electrolysis began, and just as they had remained without the slightest change for a month. Of course this was to be expected, since this was a regulated power supply. The heating coil was covered with stainless steel. Resistance was 6.67 ohms; the coil had been consuming 60 watts for a month. So the temperature should have read 75 degrees. Furthermore, three days had passed since I stopped electrolysis, so by now nearly all of the deuterium should have come out of the metal." - Jed Rothwell, Nuclear Transmutation: The Reality of Cold Fusion (Get the book.)

"LIFESTYLE The risk for dopamine natures of leading a high-energy lifestyle is burning out the brain's power supply of dopamine faster than it can be replenished. Rather than using quick fixes such as sugar and caffeine, it is far healthier to balance high energy output with regular periods of relaxation and restoration. Dopamine natures are used to handling stress, but everyone needs to take a break now and then, especially if you are experiencing a dopamine deficiency." - Eric R. Braverman, The Edge Effect: Achieve Total Health and Longevity with the Balanced Brain Advantage (Get the book.) "This occurs when all four of your primary biochemicals (dopamine, acetylcholine, GABA, and serotonin) are transmitting properly and in the right proportions, your four electrical functions are working at optimal levels, the power supply is strong, brain speed is fast, rhythm is constant, and your brain is in sync. At this point, you are experiencing the Edge Effect. However, if you are feeling ill and have physical complaints, you know intuitively that something is wrong." - Eric R.
