Google created the Android operating system and makes Pixel smartphones. It warns that hot batteries lose power faster, even when not being used. 谷歌创建了 Android 操作系统并生产 Pixel 智能手机。 它警告说，热电池即使在不使用时也会更快地失去电力。Look at changing your smartphone settings so apps and other device operations use less power. Doing this can extend your battery's daily life and give more time between charges. 请考虑更改智能手机设置，以便应用程序和其他设备操作使用更少的电量。 这样做可以延长电池的使用寿命并延长充电间隔时间。 Examples include turning down the phone's screen brightness, changing to a dark theme and making the screen power off sooner. You can also look at battery usage in the device's settings to identify power-hungry apps that can be turned off or removed. 例如，调低手机的屏幕亮度、更改为深色主题以及更快地关闭屏幕。 您还可以在设备设置中查看电池使用情况，以确定可以关闭或删除的耗电应用程序。 Also, if an iPhone's power level drops below 10 percent, users can turn on the low power setting to stretch battery life before the next charge. Android phones have a similar “power saving mode.” But while this setting can be left on all the time, experts say doing so can affect the phone's overall performance. 此外，如果 iPhone 的电量低于 10%，用户可以在下次充电前打开低电量设置以延长电池寿命。 Android手机也有类似的“省电模式”。 不过，虽然这个设置可以一直保留，但专家表示，这样做会影响手机的整体性能。 Samsung says another power-saving move is to turn off Bluetooth or Wi-Fi when they are not being used. Apple, however, advises iPhone users to leave these on because they use very little power when not connected. 三星表示，另一个省电举措是在不使用蓝牙或 Wi-Fi 时将其关闭。 然而，苹果公司建议 iPhone 用户保留这些功能，因为它们在未连接时消耗的电量非常少。Many smartphone users already know the benefits of using screen protectors and device cases. Experts advise not using plastic versions, which can damage the phone's face. Device website iFixit suggests choosing ones made with either Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) material – which combines both plastic and rubber – or tempered glass. Both offer more solid protection. 许多智能手机用户已经知道使用屏幕保护膜和设备保护壳的好处。 专家建议不要使用塑料版本，这可能会损坏手机的表面。 设备网站 iFixit 建议选择由热塑性聚氨酯 (TPU) 材料（结合了塑料和橡胶）或钢化玻璃制成的设备。 两者都提供更坚实的保护。Smartphones can collect dirt and other materials that can block port openings and hurt performance. Experts say a toothpick or toothbrush can be used to get rid of much of these substances. But they advise users to make sure the process is removing the material, not pushing it deeper inside. 智能手机可能会积聚灰尘和其他物质，从而堵塞端口开口并损害性能。 专家表示，可以使用牙签或牙刷去除大部分这些物质。 但他们建议用户确保该过程是去除材料，而不是将其推入更深的内部。Software is another important part in extending a phone's lifespan. Experts suggest downloading the latest operating system updates often. This will limit problems related to the device's privacy, security and battery operations. 软件是延长手机使用寿命的另一个重要部分。 专家建议经常下载最新的操作系统更新。 这将限制与设备隐私、安全和电池操作相关的问题。

One of the things that caught our attention about Ian was his dedication to theatre and film. He's a talented maker of things, stage combat aficionado, cosplayer, science-fiction geek, and advises everyone to be okay with what makes you happy. He's Chinese by heritage but struggled, as many do, with his Asian roots growing up in a predominately white culture. A lot of what he went through goes into his work in the form of learning to not care about what people think, while at the same time caring about what people think.

Definitely sign up in the show notes, whether you're listing on iTunes, Spotify or Stitcher of today's podcast. Let's talk about this tax credit. So it sounds like Senator Markey, who is from your neck of the woods, Allen and others are introducing a tax credit that's going to create a 30 percent investment for qualified facilities that manufacture when components for offshore here in the U.S.. And it looks like that will eventually be phased out between December twenty, twenty eight and completely around 20, 30. So, Alan, do you think this is going to work or are we going to be able to put up some of these facilities in the U.S.? Well, big corporations will take that tax break immediately and hopefully put it to work. The question is who and where and how? It's easy to make proposals like this. And this is the trouble I think was sort of the Massachusetts delegation, because this comes up quite a bit where they want to make some world altering proposals. And then you check up on six months later, nothing has happened. And it is super frustrating to watch this go into something I'm more familiar with, which is just offshore wind and wind turbines. Massachusetts itself doesn't have a lot of wind turbine manufacturing to so to speak. The university system does some research, and it is one of the national leaders in some wind turbine technology stuff. But in terms of manufacturing, there's very little. And it's unlikely that a lot of that will happen locally in Massachusetts. And there's a variety of reasons for it. Resources, access to roads, all all those things play into it. So in terms of wind turbine manufacturers or component manufacturers for wind turbines, my little company is probably one of the more probably one of the larger ones at the moment. And, you know, what are we gonna do with a 30 percent manufacturing break that'll never come to a company like ours? So it's it is you know, in one sense, I think they're trying to promote the industry. And I get all that. And on the second sense,

The world of carbon fibre composites is continually progressing, and yet, the way most carbon bicycle frames are made today doesn't differ all that much from how it was done in the 90s.    However, aeronautical and automotive industries are continually investing in improved methods and processes, and the cycling market serves to benefit from just that. One such example is the recent rebirth of thermoplastic composites which have the potential to reduce costs, offer superior impact resistance, and be recyclable.    Our guest in this week's deep dive episode is Ben Lloyd, a Research and Development specialist at Cygnet Texkimp Ltd, a leading carbon composite manufacturing machinery company. Lloyd is an expert in thermoplastic manufacturing and also in touch with the bicycle industry. 

New research and work on thermoplastic blade construction has yielded some excitement in the community, and Allen and Rosemary discuss the commercial viability of these turbine blades. Vestas has invested in S&L Access crane technology, and their Salamander Quick Lift looks like a step in the right direction. The small Block Island wind farm now has four of its five turbines stopped for "routine maintenance"...but is something bigger at play?

And I'm Rosemary Barnes And this is the uptime podcast bringing you the latest in wind energy, tech news and policy. All right, welcome back to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast. I am your co-host Dan Blewett - on today's episode. We're going to talk about a recent battery fire from one of the Tesla mega packs burn for about three straight days until it burn itself out in Victoria, Australia. So we'll talk about some of the implications and whether we should be concerned about battery technology as it takes off, whether that's going to be a problem for renewables. We'll also chat a little bit about the Block Island Wind Farm, which has five turbines up in New England. Four of them are currently offline, and they've got some subsea cable issues that might need to be reburied. So we'll talk through some of the problems are having there. We're also going to talk a little bit about the fishing sector sector. Get Rosemarie's take here on some new reporting from The Guardian about, you know, whether the UK is sacrificing their fishing sector for offshore wind and whether this is really a Zero-Sum game or if everyone can get along. We'll talk about some new technology in cranes, the salamander lift system and what that means as Vestas investors invests in that technology. And lastly, kind of our big topic today, we'll talk about thermoplastic blades, some interesting technology about how to ban them using metal foils. And, well, this is going to be a sustainable practice, whether it will work with lightning issues and all that. So we've got two great minds on blades here.

Just click below and you can sign up for our weekly newsletter where we'll send you an update on the podcasts and all of the latest news around the market. So let's get going. Alan, I know you want to talk batteries. So this big mega pack fire out in Australia sounds pretty scary. What what was the story here with Tesla on this fire? Well, they don't have any details yet. And Rosemary may have a little more because she's a little closer to it than we are. But it's a big lithium ion pack battery packs out. And they were in construction mode, it sounded like. And they had an accident in a fire.

The blades of modern wind turbines can be longer than the wing of a Boeing 747. Their useful lifetime is perhaps 20 years and after that, they can’t just be hauled away.  They end up being cut up with special industrial saws to create pieces small enough to be strapped to a tractor-trailer.  Then, they […]
