![]() ![]() Oxygen exists on Mars in negligible trace amounts.īut an abundant supply is considered critical to eventual human exploration of the red planet, both as a sustainable source of breathable air for astronauts and as a necessary ingredient for rocket fuel to fly them home. The remaining 5% of Mars' atmosphere, which is only about 1% as dense Earth's, consists primarily of molecular nitrogen and argon. The instrument works through electrolysis, which uses extreme heat to separate oxygen atoms from molecules of carbon dioxide, which accounts for about 95% of the atmosphere on Mars. She called it the first technology of its kind to help future missions "live off the land" of another planet. "MOXIE isn't just the first instrument to produce oxygen on another world," Trudy Kortes, director of technology demonstrations within NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate, said in a statement. Although the initial output was modest, the feat marked the first experimental extraction of natural resources from the environment of another planet for direct use by humans. In its first activation, the toaster-sized instrument dubbed MOXIE, short for Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, produced about 5 grams of oxygen, equivalent to roughly 10 minutes' worth of breathing for an astronaut, NASA said. While the rover has already created a buzz across the world for its exceptional achievements, scientists hope to make new discoveries using the six-wheeled machine that is now Earth's latest venture on another planet.NASA says it's the first technology of its kind that may help future missions "live off the land" of another world. Rocket propellant depends on oxygen, and future explorers will depend on producing propellant on Mars to make the trip home,” Jim added. “MOXIE has more work to do, but the results from this technology demonstration are full of promise as we move toward our goal of one-day seeing humans on Mars. “This is a critical first step at converting carbon dioxide to oxygen on Mars,” Nasa quoted Jim Reuter, associate administrator for STMD as saying. Isolating and storing oxygen on Mars could help power rockets that could lift astronauts off the planet’s surface. In another first for Perseverance, the rover converted some of the Red Planet’s thin, carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere into oxygen using a toaster-sized experimental instrument called the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilisation Experiment (MOXIE). NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover MaRolling out a helicopter from its belly This is the first time we’ve captured sounds while driving on Mars. Hear that? That’s the sound of me driving over Martian rocks. "When you're driving with these wheels on rocks, it's actually very noisy," Verma added. "A lot of people, when they see the images, don't appreciate that the wheels are metal," said Vandi Verma, a senior engineer and rover driver at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. Two versions of the audio clip of the same drive were released by Nasa. In the audio clip released by the US space agency in March, bangs, pings, and rattles of the six-wheeled rover could be heard clearly. One of those pieces of equipment is a mic that captured the audio of the rover moving on another world. Capturing first audio from another worldĪpart from being an astrobiology lab, the rover has been equipped with some of the most high-end instruments to make it as close to a living embodiment. “It went incredibly well,” Anais Zarifian, a JPL mobility test engineer for Perseverance, said during a teleconference briefing with reporters. The rover rolled 4 meters forward, turned about 150 degrees to its left and then drove backwards another 2.5 meters. Two weeks after it landed on the planet, the rover took a short drive on the floor of the massive crater putting a total of 6.5 meters on its odometer during a half-hour test spin on Mars.

![]() There is however, one place that the ACC conductors are available to tap into. (Might be a good solution for some applications though). Disassembling the Center Console Accessory Power socket is actually pretty easy (see Center Console part of attached Service Express documents-CENTCON1 and CENTCON2), but once you have accessed this, it’s hard to then run wires out again to places in the rest of the car. Disassembling the Front Accessory Power socket requires taking apart the whole front center dash both over and under the gear shifters (starting with the screen) which is intimidating. So the problem: The BD harness is inaccessible and/or scary. In the center of dashboard, after it feeds the climate control and infotainment sections, some conductors split off to power the Front Accessory Power Socket, then the remaining wires join to a new harness that goes to the Center Console Accessory Power Socket (aka the back seat power), and probably the USB power, among other things. It is huge with lots of wires, goes deep under the dashboard, and goes immediately across over the steering wheel, then down behind the center front console. You can look at the diagrams (see attached Service Express docs DIAG2, DIAG3, DIAG4), but Wiring Harness BD is ugly. These immediately leave the Under Dash Fuse/Relay box via (inaccessible) Connector E in the (inaccessible) back of the box, and go into Wiring Harness BD. This means one can’t just tap into the fuse locations with a fuse tap-if you do, you get "always-on" power, like any other fuse, not switched power.Īfter the fuse, the switching is as follows (see Service Express doc DIAG1-the ACC circuit diagram-attached): ACC ON signal comes from the Body Control module energizes a nameless relay and this relay then energizes the coils in relays L2 and 元 (also in the Under Dash Fuse/Relay Box), energizing the ACC circuits. Unfortunately, the fuses are BEFORE the ACC control relays. Fuse 29 protects the Front Console Accessory Power (cigarette-lighter style) socket and Fuse 10 protects the Center Console Accessory Power socket (which despite the name is really for the back seats). There are two ACC circuits originating in the underdash fuse box (formally the Under Dash Fuse/Relay Box, as there are other fuse boxes), just inside the driver’s door. See the attached Service Express documents for more details, but essentially the way the ACCs work is: Unfortunately, the ACC circuits at first glance don’t suit. The ideal ACC source would be easy to tap into, and also be in a place where one can easily run wires out to the rest of the car to power the gadget of interest. Sorry this is so long but a lot of hard-won knowledge. If you need more power (for your big amplifier or hair dryer or whatever) there is a suggestion at the very end.Ģ/3: The background (skip to the next post if you just want the solution). My needs were pretty modest: powering a Thinkware dashcam that had both Parking and On modes, and a BSS1-LPB rear cross-traffic/blind spot sensor. Note that this solution taps into the same circuit as the front console accessory socket circuit, and with 18ga wires, so would max out at about 10A/120W. Maybe someone will use them to come up with an even better option. The second post describes the existing ACC circuits, and gives the diagrams. It took a lot of figuring out, so wanted to share. It is not hard if I was to do again, I’d guess 10-15 min. I found a pretty easy way to tap (hardwired) into ACC (switched) circuits. Of course, the easiest is to plug into the accessory power outlets with an adapter, but sometimes that won’t suit. So far, I haven’t seen a good solution for hardwiring. (Honda calls these circuits ACC so I am going to use that term even though they also use ACC for Adaptive Cruise Control.) For powering aftermarket add-ons, it would be nice to have access to switched power (ACC, or accessory power) so the devices can’t drain the 12V battery when car is off. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() In October 2018, Binance Uganda launched as the first fiat-to-cryptocurrency exchange of Binance.

![]() ![]() This was manifest in the growth of urban and village shops, the use of shop window displays, the development of city department stores (from the 1880s), and the extension of newspaper and billboard advertising. ![]() Ever-changing fashions and designs also stimulated demand whilst new forms of marketing and retailing made products more easily available to the consumer. It has been argued that this ‘consumer revolution’ from the later eighteenth century and into the Victorian period was also driven by social emulation. More beer, butter, bread, milk, meat, vegetables, fruit, fish and all other foodstuffs were now being bought rather than made or grown at home. More people were buying a greater variety of textiles, clothing, shoes, household and domestic items – on their list was china, cutlery, mirrors, books, clocks, furniture, curtains and bedding, as well as a variety of small wares, such as buckles, ribbons, buttons, snuff boxes and other fancy goods. Increased wage earning opportunities for women and juveniles boosted family spending, notably in textile districts and in the towns. This helped to provide a secure bedrock for mid-Victorian prosperity. There was also increasing domestic demand both as a result of rising incomes for the middle classes and for workers with particular skills, and a population that increased from nine million in 1801 to thirty-six million in 1911. A huge range of British products were displayed for foreign and domestic visitors in the monumental visionary architectural achievement of the Crystal Palace in Hyde Park. ![]() The Great Exhibition of 1851 marked the peak of British economic dominance. An unprecedented range and variety of products thus came within the grasp of a new mass market both within Britain and overseas. In many other sectors more modest organisational improvements coupled with greater specialisation and the employment of cheap labour brought similar, though less dramatic, results. This in turn brought a steep decline in prices. In some industries, most notably textiles, massive changes took place in technology and in the organisation of production causing dramatic productivity growth. Others saw revolutionary change focused around the development of trade and ship building in port cities.Īt least for a few decades, most mass manufactured items were produced more efficiently and competitively in Britain and the country had the commercial, financial and political power to edge out rivals. Some regions, notably coalfield areas, rapidly industrialised. This was seen in the organisation and finance of industry and commerce, the skills and work practices of production and technology, massive population growth and the development and disciplining of labour. The period from the late 18th century to the mid-Victorian years witnessed a major shake up and change in both the economy and society. ![]() ![]() ![]()
