Elio Reservation Map And Survey

[Charlie G]

What is considered to be the first solid state device in electronics. This is not a joke or a trick question. As a matter of fact one was on display at the Electronic World Fair in Boston in 1970.

I don't know anything about the Boston World Fair, but the first solid state electronic device was the Cat's-whisker Detector

This is all in fun but the solid state device I'm thinking of has to be composed of semiconductor material and directly attributable to solid state devises to this day.

Folks, as for the first solid state device,I don't know unless it is diode or a transistor. I am not an electronics expert. I am saying the original wiring was bypassed with a jumper to the battery instead of troubleshooting the system and replacing what the problem was. And you can call it "cowboy rigged" from "Abileen" if that is your choice of words.

I'll settle for the term "Jerry rigged" in that that refers to a Nazi Germany solder and no reference to me or you. OK? Your guess is closer than a cat whisker referred to earlier.

There is also #3029 in Fayetteville.

we live between Raleigh and Fayetteville (closer to Raleigh) .... we hope to get to the Elio exhibit that is supposed to be in the Raleigh/Cary area in December .... I have no clue how to Canvas the area .... what I can say is I spoken to a bunch of folks and have yet to meet one who has ever heard of Elio Motors .... that doesn't mean there aren't any, there simply has to be .... the initial reaction I have gotten usually involves something like there is no way I'd drive something like that in Raleigh traffic .... hopefully as time goes by solid information will take hold

I've seen one bumper sticker in the Memphis area. I don't even remember where I read first of the Elio. It just caught my imagination as a well executed design idea. I've always said the greatest safety feature of any auto is the driver. I'd like to think folks here are anxious to prove themselves as superior drivers too.

The crystal is a semiconductor
crystal + whisker = schottky diode

The crystal is a semiconductor
crystal + whisker = schottky diode

I believe it. No more than I know about it. I'll believe anything .LOL.

Dang, I just knocked the computer off the table smacking the little sucker.

I stand corrected!!!!!!!!!! I see that that the first use was somewhere around 1906. The one I was purporting was a
Selenium Diode used in WWII bombs to count propeller revs to explode at a certain altitude.
