  1. It depends how you want to go about producing them, you could take the route of Microbiology and Genetics and elucidate and manipulate pathways to use them too your own ends. Or in the case of Biochemistry map protein structures and then create inhibitors that block there action.

     

     

    It sounds like the pharmacological-microbiological route is the one I'd be best at, and enjoy the most. What are the best schools for this particular area of study?

  2. I'm going with Obama on this one, I think when opening a pharmaceutical company it best to actual know how to make pharmaceuticals and not just manage money. Anyway from what I can see on the internet University of California at San Francisco is the best. What do you guys think?

     

    P.S. I live in the western United States and I don't what to moving to far.

  3. After see make: magazine's Joule Thief I want to "make: a toroid transformer":D. Does anyone know any link to a comprehensive explanation on transformer calculations(like turns of primary, or secondary coil for upping or downing voltage/amperage)? I think some the the variables are primary wire turns, primary voltage, primary amperes, secondary wire turns, and secondary resistance load?

  4. Does anyone know what the quality Omano's microscope are? Are they a no name microscope dealer, or are they comparable or at least as known as Nikon, Olympus, or Carl Zeiss?

     

    I found some other microscope companies can someone tell if they are good?

     

    1. Konus

    2. Meade

  5. I think the heat is to make a catalyst decompose water.

     

    Coating it shouldn't be necessary, engineering-wise, though from a safety standpoint you'd want to seal it in something.

     

    (FYI, I get .114 W/g output for Am-241)

     

     

     

    There is a lots of other particles(main alpha as stated earlier) that come out of Am is there anyway to turn those in to heat for maximum efficiency?

  6. What chemical would turn Alpha decay into heat? Would Americium be a good source of alpha particles?

     

    Alpha decay is the easiest to block, so that is what I suggest you use. I think it produces the least amount of energy per decay, though. How much heat (watts) do you need to generate?

     

    Enough to keep 30 grams of water at 60C.
