Fish-inspired filter removes 99% of microplastics from washing machine wastewater
Wastewater from washing machines is considered a major source of microplastics—tiny plastic particles that are suspected of harming human and animal health. Researchers at the University of Bonn have now developed a filter to curb this problem. Their invention was inspired by the gill arch system in fish.

Happy #FreeCADFriday! This week I've been working on re-modelling the case for the Morserino M32 Pocket. At least four different people had worked on the case. It was initially made in FreeCAD, but then was modified with other software, and the current case that QRP Labs is shipping was edited in s…

Mikroplastik mindert die CO2-Aufnahme der Meere
Forschende warnen: Mikroplastik schwächt die Fähigkeit des Ozeans, die Temperatur der Erde zu regulieren und weltweit das Klima zu stabilisieren.

Reduced to the Max: Pebble-Ring für Sprachnotizen hat nur einen Knopf
Ein Mikrofon am Zeigefinger springt nur an, wenn der Daumen den Knopf drückt. Der Pebble Index 01 dient zunächst für Sprachnotizen und Musiksteuerung.

Solar Opposites looks so much like a Rick & Morty look-alike trying to get onto the bandwagon. I'm not sure if I should watch it. Is it good?

Another threat to reefs: Microplastic chemicals may harm coral reproduction
As the sliver of a new moon shines over Kāneʻohe Bay, Oʻahu, millions of tiny orbs ascend from a reef and swirl in the water column. These spheres are bundles of coral eggs and sperm responding to lunar cycles and chemical cues in the water that tell them when to fertilize and where to settle […]

Einbau in Waschmaschinen: Filter nach Fischmaul-Vorbild entfernt Großteil an Mikroplastik
Mikroplastik gelangt immer häufiger auch in den Körper von Menschen. Ein Großteil davon kommt vom Waschen und fließt ins Abwasser. Wie die Kleinstpartikel erfolgreich herausgefiltert werden können, schaut sich ein Forschungsteam in der Natur ab.

In my #HamRadio #POTA adventure today, I got my inverted-V linked dipole caught in twigs today and it died. The silicon wire winds easily around a tight radius, which is nice for putting it on the winder, but also winds around twigs easily, and that fine wire breaks easily. Easier than…

Oceans struggle to absorb Earth's carbon dioxide as microplastics invade their waters
A new study reveals that microplastics are impairing the oceans' ability to absorb carbon dioxide, a process scientists find crucial for regulating Earth's temperature.

I made a #HamRadio antenna that I really like, and wanted to share the design and process so others can do it too. It's a carefully-tuned linked dipole that is light and has served me well for #POTA activations. It's now in its second iteration and so far I'm very happy with it.
