  • Transformers in antennas are just transformers, but you have to use ceramic cores (ferrites) that would be right for your band. I think that what you might be trying to do would be wideband antenna of some sort, but for UHF which is likely in this case, I’d recommend you some kind of log-periodic antenna instead (it just works, directional) or some kind of spiral antenna (it just works, nondirectional). You can make both of these at home







  • I think it would be comparable to situation where all mRNA is suddenly unusable, ie protein synthesis can’t run at all. This would be something like ricin or diphteria toxin poisoning, but instead of being limited to gastrointestinal lining it’s spread all over. I’d guess hours to days before anything visible starts happening (symptoms only start to appear when deficit in new protein synthesis becomes noticeable; all protein already made continues to work for sone time)




  • with wood, the problem was with lignin which is tightly crosslinked, meaning that it’s insoluble and organism willing to eat it has to secrete some enzymes to break it down in smaller bits that can be absorbed

    depending on plastic, this first step might be easier or even happening on its own. there are already bacteria that feed on nylon but nylon starting materials are easier to digest for them
