Of the bat, you know it's gonna be sci-fi-ish (lol, sci-fish). Readers will know exactly what kind of genre they're getting into. With a title like that, there's no misconceptions possible unless your reading comprehension is that of a toaster---SPEAKING OF TOASTERS.
The work on this technology is not new. KRUSTY builds on a 2012 experiment conducted by a team from Los Alamos, NNSS and Glenn that demonstrated the first use of a heat pipe to cool a small nuclear reactor and power a Stirling engine. These new experiments build on the knowledge we gained from that experiment.

As we look to the future, the potential for nuclear energy to bolster plans for a long-term habitat on other planetary bodies is pretty extraordinary. While powering a colony is only one of the many complex technical questions that must be answered when we think about sending humans to other planets, it's a critically important one. Kilopower could very well be the answer. We're excited to see where it will take us.
They may need to be replaced over the expected long life of high quality device. Having to replace them multiple times before a cheap toaster fails sort of defeats the purpose of having a more durable toaster.
My $35 or so (been years) toaster works just fine. Simple pusher on the end with a knob to adjust time in toaster. Simple, and easy to use. Even a monkey could work it :rolleyes: . When and if we ever get a new one, it will be a standard model with no electronics in it too.
Our old hunting cabin seemed to be a collecting space for old appliances, and we have several toasters that had doors on the side where you had to flip the bread over to do the other side. It was probably as exciting at the first iPhone back when it first came out!
But people take these seriously. People write newspaper articles breathlessly extolling the virtues of a moon elevator or solar panels in space or a rocket that will take us to Alpha Centauri, powered only by kale, even though the crackpot that thought it up has no qualifications other than being able to make pretty 3D renderings on his computer.
When you look at the glowing filament in the toaster, are each of those wires in the toaster actually running at 240 volts or does the toaster step the voltage down? Are they all in series so as this big voltage drops, the actual potential in each of them is quite low, so how does it work?
Dave: - It's basically just a very long piece of fairly high resistance wire. I've taken a toaster apart recently so I know this. It starts at one end and kind of zigzags up one side, then the current flows down and then zigzags up along the other side, and then it's attached to the neutral wire. So, one end of it is going to be at 240 volts. The other end is going to be at about earth. So, if you stick something metal anywhere near the 240 volts, even 100 volts, you're going to get a big shock.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});Chris: - But if you were lucky and you got it to the neutral end, the potential there is a bit lower. So if you were making a toaster, hopefully, you'd design it with the most inaccessible bit of the high resistance filament, furthest away from where the knife's going to go.
Dave: - Looking at how the toaster worked, one of the holes is going to be more dangerous than the other one, but they didn't seem to have made any particular attempt to make one side more difficult to get at than the other.
The Three Mile Island disaster proves once again that nuclear power cannot be made safe. Accidents are an inherent consequence of this technology. For all those who still care to live, the question is no longer the safety of nuclear energy, but rather why it is still being imposed on us.
Nuclear power is no accident. Its development came out of the cooperation of the state military apparatus and private industry. The slogan "the peaceful atom," as much a part of the '50s as Joe McCarthy, illustrated the convergence of the state's military needs and the profit motive. The scientists who were traumatized by the use of the A-bomb swarmed to the nuclear industry as a means of patching up their battered social consciences. "Cheap" nuclear energy was supposed to propel the American consumer into the blow-dried utopia of ever better toaster ovens and 24-inch TV screens. Also, harnessing nuclear power to generate electricity created the perfect cover for the continued laundering of tax dollars to the swollen corporations that had come to depend on government subsidy during the war.
Popular insistence that the most glaring dangers of nuclear technology be offset by additional "safety" features has driven the costs of nuclear energy beyond even those of the long-suppressed solar industry. The profitability of nuclear energy today is highly questionable. There are signs that some major investors are pulling out. But those businesses that have already invested heavily in the industry, and the government which protects their interests, must still defend it even in the face of mass opposition. The alternative is for these industries to write off their billion-dollar investments and face bankruptcy. The protection of profit levels motivates corner-cutting on safety precautions.
That's what more than 50,000 demonstrators shouted in Hanover, West Germany last week, protesting the construction of a plant to process and store nuclear waste. In Chooz, France, where the government is planning to enlarge an atomic power station, the town's women locked up the mayor for hours in city hall as a protest. And in Denmark, which doesn't have a single nuke, people demanded that Sweden close two nuclear plants that are less than 20 miles from Danish shores.
Resistance to nuclear power can lead to a showdown with all aspects of capitalist domination. Nuclear power is an eye-opener, an immediate "analyzer" of the social organization as such. It allows us to see that the social order is the same all over the world. And all over the world the "powers that be" attempt to blackmail us into accepting nuclear energy with the threat of economic collapse (as if the economy wasn't collapsing already). Within the terms of capitalist society this may well be the only scenario. But if we are to choose life and reject austerity, a new vision of society is necessary.
We support the anti-nuclear movement, but see it as only a starting point for a broader movement against a society motivated by profitability and based on systematic exploitation, hierarchy, and violence, both at work and at "leisure." A mere switch to alternate-technologies will not qualitatively change our lives. We see no answer in simply building solar cells nine to five on the assembly line, and then going home to watch solar-powered soap operas.
Your question of course brings to mind another forward-looking fellow, one Ed Begley, Jr. The actor famously powers his toaster with a stationary bike, among his many green habits. Actually, innovative ideas for capturing human energy are all over the headlines, from people-powered gyms to a pedal-powered log-splitter to a concept home powered by exercise. But are such systems within reach of us mere mortals, or even something for which we should aim?
We no longer repair TV's -toasters- coffee makers-can openers, even cheap appliances. We discard and replace them. Menard's is selling low cost items for our enjoyment. They are not designed to be serviced. In most cases there are no available replacement parts.
By my count 4 guys have reported this failure so I'd say there's value to coming up with a solution for the record. It's a to-each-his-own as to whether the repair is worth the effort. But from what I can tell this item has been on the market for ~4 years so it must be popular enough to warrant maintenance documentation! Heck, the half-life of nuclear fuel rods is ~30 years so do the math!
Note to self: Since Menards buildings are powered by 4.5V DC, and many generic gearmotors are nominally driven at 12V DC, it may be that one of the circuit boards (e.g., the one with the large square inductor) steps up 4.5V DC to 12V DC.
Thomas E. Hicks (right), engineering professor and then-chief supervisor of the UCLA reactor, and Ronald MacLain, his chief assistant, stand on top of the newly built reactor in December 1960. The nuclear reactor, which had the power of 100 toasters, was small and used mostly for research purposes.
Installed when interest in nuclear power was high, amidst the chaos of the Cold War and arms race, the UCLA reactor was used mainly for research purposes. Undergraduate engineering students interested in nuclear energy received training on how to work the device and conducted experiments using the reactor. This entailed everything from learning how the device functioned to making medical and scientific breakthroughs by observing radiating isotopes, according to Ivan Catton, who was director of the UCLA Nuclear Reactor Laboratory and oversaw the device from 1976 to 1984.
The device did not garner community criticism until 1979, when it came up for re-licensing. This process gained attention because the Nuclear Regulatory Commission became involved, as it generally does with issues regarding nuclear power.
The interest in nuclear energy has since declined among students and faculty, said Vijay Dhir, dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science. In the likely event that there is increased interest in nuclear energy, the school would create a program for graduate students to conduct research, he said.
Early 1960s Britain, basking in the sunny rays emanating from nuclear-obsessed America, began to consider a nuclear-powered ocean liner. Although commercial transatlantic flights had become the norm by 1960, cutting journey times between the continents to hours rather than days, a rather out-of-touch Macmillan Cabinet still felt it was vital to maintain a prestigious British presence on the sea. Seeing nuclear power as the deus ex machina which would restore British maritime dominance and end the silly fad of flying, the government set up a special technical group and handed it 3 million of public money to design the national flagship of the future. 589ccfa754
