    Electronics advances.

    I have previously been involved in a lot of electronics advances, and this is similar to I.T. if you have a degree in this, while i am a layman. that doesn't stop me though!

    Today i want to talk about about semiconductor in the solid state vacuum tube.

Starting with copper oxide, proceeding to germanium, then silicon, the materials were systematically studied in the 1940s and 1950s. Today,monocrystalline silicon is the main substrate used for ICs although some III-V compounds of the periodic table such as gallium arsenide are used for specialized applications like LEDs, lasers, solar cells and the highest-speed integrated circuits. It took decades to perfect methods of creating crystals without defects in the crystalline structure of the semiconducting material.Semiconductor ICs are fabricated in a layer process which includes three key process steps – imaging, deposition and etching. The main process steps are supplemented by doping and cleaning.
    Mono-crystal siliconwafers (or for special applications, silicon on sapphire or gallium arsenide wafers) are used as the substrate. Photolithography is used to mark different areas of the substrate to be doped or to have polysilicon, insulators or metal (typically aluminium) tracks deposited on them.
    Let's observe the crystals, i remember touching on this a while ago...

    If we want semi conductors, why not have full on conductors we can set to on or off or half way? obviously, the most effective way to control the current is with a value on the amount of energy going through it, yes? now, i want to suggest just using semi conductors like the freely available silicon to power the machine, by jumping the voltage up. if the crystals are made out of either of these, we can still control the instructions generated by them though the amount of power sent through them, of course.

    Alternatively, we could do away with circuits! instead, we could use a 'cylinder' that uses non conductors to block the flow of power, yes?

    Electronics basics.

    Everything you use that has a circuit is electronic - anything that uses electricity. if you are an engineer, you will understand, if you are in I.T. you will understand, if you are in science you will understand and if you are in psychology you will also understand. these fields all observe the same truths under different names, but let's hear my definition first?

    Electronics is there to operate things that we want to do something for us. if it is a remote control, it will be an electronic device, and, will use a 'mechanism' to affect the 'bonds' of the 'brain.'

    See how easy it is? think of spider webs, and, snake on your cell phone. if you were to conduct the signal in such a manner as to be a spider waltzing up to a trapped fly, or even folding your body to get the most current into the the snake to eat the fruit, you will just be traveling around a 'grid' then applying your will on it.

    Photoemissive camera tube.

    I was waltzing through the ghettos of wikipedia when i tripped over this, and, offended at first, i thought i would analyze it further, shall we?

    Quote Originally Posted by http://thesciencedictionary.org/photoemissive-camera-tube/

    Science Dictionary: What is PHOTOEMISSIVE CAMERA TUBE? definition of PHOTOEMISSIVE CAMERA TUBE (Science Dictionary)
    It seems that we have a image capturing device, as you can tell from the word photo. if you want to catch better photos than this, well, actually let's first analyze this, and see where we can improve?

    This device is made out of a device that actually captures photons that use electrons as mass, or is it quarks? who can remember? i think that it must have mass to move, as things without mass have no momentum, yes? can you throw an atom of oxygen? can you throw a molecule? see? a molecule has mass, so it can move, but a element of oxygen is too light to move as well as the molecule of let's say coffee or blood, and therefore, something without mass cannot move, yes?

    So, this photo thing captures the electrons, which are activated by the photons, as the heat from the photons excites the electrons, or is it vice versa, and then they 'glow.' this is like throwing napalm onto a tiles floor, where the area will ignite, but nothing else. this is why you see very little in a cave, because you will see something, as the photons keep going until they are out of positive spin things to give them energy. in fact, there is no total darkness in the universe as radiation will penetrate even dark matter, okay?

    Now, this thing captures all the 'excited' things, as they are at the time, and makes a print of how it 'looked.' all this was done while it was excited, and, now it excites and colors the 'paper' it is on by the same method as the floor tiles were on fire. so, it is like drawing on a piece of paper, and, th crayons are leaving behind some chalky stuff, but, they are already 'excited' and just leave a little bit of crayon on it.

    So, if that piece of chalk can get activated, then so can a highlighter, yes? if the highlighter was made of ink, then we can 'spray' it anywhere.

    But, that is not what we were talking about, sorry for the diversion. if the photons, which have positive spin, feed the electrons that have negative spin, they exist together and travel. now, the photon is just there to balance the electron, as, the electron will, you know how lightning works? well the electricity is what hits, and the photon is carrying it. then, the electrons are obviously the unstable things we have talked about trying to earth or stabilize themselves, and would rather not.

    Now, if the paper gets excited by 'lightning,' and it is fuel for fires, like an unstable electron is looking for, then it will burn the paper a little bit in a wide variety of colors.

    How do we make it better?

    We need to use other 'earth' or 'fuel' based parts in the mechanisms to conduct the camera better. this could be like a battery that you place inside the camera to take the impression or picture. if you were to use ozone, you could conduct great amounts of electricity from place to place, and, if it were O4 it would be even better at conducting, yes?

    That is what i suggest.

    Photodiodes.

    This would be where the typical computer parts come into play with the visuals of the 'thing.' how will it work? how will we make it better?

    Quote Originally Posted by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photodiode
    A photodiode is a semiconductor device that converts light into current. The current is generated when photons are absorbed in the photodiode. A small amount of current is also produced when no light is present. Photodiodes may contain optical filters, built-in lenses, and may have large or small surface areas. Photodiodes usually have a slower response time as its surface area increases. The common, traditional solar cell used to generate electric solar power is a large area photodiode.

    Photodiodes are similar to regular semiconductordiodes except that they may be either exposed (to detect vacuum UV or X-rays) or packaged with a window or optical fiber connection to allow light to reach the sensitive part of the device. Many diodes designed for use specifically as a photodiode use a PIN junction rather than a p–n junction, to increase the speed of response. A photodiode is designed to operate in reverse bias.[1]
    Okay, so, this is where electricity is used to make pictures, by allowing light to come onto your monitor through a 'mechanism.' if you want to make a picture, you need light to go into your eyes and activate the nerves in your eyes.

    So, to get the computer to put up a picture, we need to use heat to warm the parts so they work, then they will make light to come through the pixels in the computer monitor. then, they need to program a motherboard with a device where there are different levels of light like a radio has volume, yes?

    Now, to make it better, we would have to use less energy and get a clearer picture. for this, we need to use electricity to activate the semiconductors. this means they will can be set to off when there is no current flowing, and on when there needs to be a current. then, we can activate the pixels at different degrees to get certain colors. but, to make the picture 'better,' we should use analogue parts as they show the direct image on the monitor, as, there will be no problems then, as they do not show stupid little lights, but, instead, a photograph that moves on the monitor, like graphic programming. that is a direct input output system that will be better, yes?

    Photo transistors.

    This is like a normal transistor, except that it works with light too. if you were to observe that light is a form of heat, and gives off radiation, and, that it is the opposite of electrons, or at least activates them, then you will find this easy to understand if you know a bit about physics.

    But, let's recap? if you were to observe that transistors are there to carry charges over from one place to another, they are like a rocket launcher and compass found in one, yes? or, think of your circuit - if you were to have a square of metal or silicone, well, the electricity will travel around the whole thing and electrify it, but, it won't have any 'direction' or 'goals.' so, if we give the current goals, it will understand and do as told.

    So, if we were to place a lot of current into a circuit - you know, those squares of 'metal' you have seen, which carry the current like an aerial carries a signal from the air into your house? - then we will find that it just circulates and moves from one place to another like a fire, except that it is not satisfying it's need to 'stabilize' itself by burning the metal, so stays unstable, because, electrons are unstable because they have a negative spin and charge, making them, for lack of a better word, unstable, yes?

    Now, to get the current from one end to the other, and not just stimulate all the parts at once, we have transistors and resistors. these resistors will stop current that the transistors send to it when it is enough, or, has done what the mechanism is supposed to do. the mechanism of course is supposed to go on or off, as typical binary says it is supposed to. the transistors will choose a way for the current to go, and the resistors will stop it once it is done.

    If we want to make a better transistor and resistor setup, we need only look to taking away resistors and making only transistors that send all current that we are not using to the center of the circuit, being the solitary resistor. this will make it more like a loose tiger that gets sent roaming around the jungle, and knows it's bed is in the middle, yes?

    Then, we could make the resistor into a transistor that sends the current back to the battery, which means we use little or no power! make sense?

    How to mass produce lots of chips with simple equipment.

    If you were to want to manufacture computers out of your driveway, or garage, then you need a few tools. first, you need to get your hands on a pane of [1] glass, a [2] calculator, a bit of [3] 'mesh' for the monitor, a [4] pot with some sand and wood and matches for the chips, and a [5] few reject plastic parts for the back of the monitor, the case, and the keyboard and sound and a [6] magnifying glass.

    Now, you need to make a mold for the chips. this can be done with a magnifying glass and a good understanding of circuits, from a booklet that is cheap. basically, you want to connect the output to the input, and that is about all you need to do.

    So, you need to place your pictures or photos into a 'slide show' and connect them so that all sorts of colors come up when you press down on the key board. then, you can get your hands on a few wires and connect them around without the chips so that they carry current to and from the operations to output and input. this is very basic, yes?

    Then, you need to connect the speakers up to the monitor, so that the monitor is the center of the computer. then, you need to make it so when some pictures come up, then some other sounds are made from your 'recordings.' instead of using tiny chips, we are using wires which can change their 'power level.' this frequency will dictate the whole operations of the computer, i think it resembles a Macintosh, yes? the wire mesh needs to go behind the pictures so that they will stand out, like a blue screen on television.

    Something without mass can not move or have no momentum? A photon, by definition, is a mass-less particle. It both moves (how else could you see anything?) and it definitely imparts momentum as demonstrated by a light sail.

    I hate to say this, but most of the science you are writing about is flat out wrong.

    Well, does a atom of air move faster than a atom bomb? this goes to show, the less mass it has, the slower t moves, and, not having mass would mean that it does not move, yet it does, so has mass. the mass comes from the bonded elements.

    Your question makes no sense. A photon, by definition, moves at the speed of light in a vacuum and, by definition, has no mass. The velocity of an "atom of air" (something that does not exist) is dependent on its temperature. So yes, an atom of oxygen can move much faster than an atom bomb. I'm not sure why you selected that as an example. Is there something special about atomic weapons?
