[NewCandle] Cold Electricty

[Nick Reiter]

Jones et al,

Wow - quite a flood of neat stuff here.  I'm whirling
from too much on the plate anyway, but dagnabbit,
you've captured my attention with talk of LED
lighting.  Could I ask a favor...?  I may have
misplaced or somehow deleted whatever particular mail
from a couple of days ago wherein you gave a link to
the story of this device.  Where can I go to catch up
and follow the story of this from the beginning?  I
spent a lot of time about 10 years agousing unipolar
connections to diode and antenna arrays to light LEDs
of different colors.  The forward voltage drop of the
LED depending on type and color makes a huge
difference.  Old fashioned red GaAs are easiest to
light up (lowest forward voltage needed)  Early SiC
blue LEDs needed like 5.5V to conduct.  Sam and I used
to experiment with lighting up whole panels of Nichia
GaN blues, greens, and even a few very early UVs. 
Those were some times.

Tell me where I may go to catch up with you'se on this
matter of ferrites and forward biases.
