Hi

Based in England, have interests in Science (particularly Physics), Electronics, Economics. Spent much time practising computer science. At college, found mathematics becoming too abstract but now finding regular language to express my intuitive understanding of the physical world a limitation. Trying to connect more advanced maths into my intuitive models of the world.

At age 8, set myself the delightful task of understanding how a television works. For an 8 year old, that understanding represents a very intuitive type of understanding, So much to learn about the technology from light waves refracting onto the camera sensor, FM transmission methods, amplification methods for the transmitter, in the receiver the superhetrodyne receiver, varicap effect, intermediate frequency circuit, chroma decoding with delay line, electron guns, electron gun beam steering, anode potentials, phosphors. Of course, this was based around TV technology different to today. Think Philips G8 series chasis design. At age 11, I prided myself on what, as far as I was concerned, was a novel and original single NPN transistor FM transmitter modulating on the 88-108Mhz band. I used the collector-base bias to change the depletion zone thickness, thereby changing the junction capacitance, thereby altering the frequency of a base-collector tuned circuit. Nobody I knew had a slightest understanding to recognise what I thought was an achievement. That's Life.
