The Pharos Lighthouse In Alexandria: Second Sun and Seventh Wonder of Antiquity

"The Pharos Lighthouse in Alexandria: Second Sun and Seventh Wonder of Antiquity" is a complete history of one of the most famous lighthouses in history. The book details the lighthouse’s creation, its historical significance, and its eventual destruction.

The book is divided into twelve chapters, each dealing with a different aspect of the Pharos, better known as the Lighthouse of Alexandria. It begins with the conception and construction of the lighthouse during the reign of Ptolemy I (366-282 BCE). The perilous coast surrounding Alexandria shipwrecked many vessels that attempted to navigate its reefs and shoals. This threatened the maritime trade that the Ptolemaic dynasty hoped to encourage, so plans were made to create a landmark that sailors could navigate by. Sostratus of Cnidus led the development of this landmark, which became the great lighthouse. Standing at around 120 meters tall, the Pharos and its flaming light was an awe-inspiring sight that symbolized the power and wealth of Ptolemaic Egypt.

The author reconstructs the form and function of the ancient Pharos, drawing from ancient and Medieval descriptions as well as recently uncovered archaeological evidence. Diagrams, charts, and tables help to illustrate these explanations of the lighthouse’s construction and function. These modern assessments are juxtaposed with ancient and Medieval artworks that depict the lighthouse, such as coins, mosaics, and drawings. The author has a background in science and engineering, which informs the book’s reconstruction of the lighthouse’s technical features. The reach of the Pharos’ light, the material used in its construction, and its dimensions are estimated based on the available data, although many long-standing questions can not be definitively answered.

In 795 CE, a massive earthquake rocked Alexandria and caused the lighthouse’s peak to crumble and fall. Subsequent earthquakes in the 10th century CE further cracked the lighthouse. Despite some attempts at restoration, the Pharos became increasingly damaged until the 15th century CE, when only the base remained. Numerous archaeological expeditions have searched the ocean surrounding Alexandria, and their findings are incorporated into the book.

In addition to the practical history of the lighthouse, the book also examines its impact on culture through its representations in both historically grounded and fantastical literature. From the time of its creation, the lighthouse has been cloaked in legend. In ancient times, it was described as a second Sun that illuminated the harbour. Today, it is one of the most iconic monuments of antiquity. The final three chapters deal with modern attempts to reconstruct the lighthouse. Chapter Ten presents the available evidence for the lighthouse’s form, while Chapter Eleven sets out the author’s future goal of creating a three-dimensional digital recreation of the lighthouse for research and educational purposes.

At the time of this review, the Pharos lighthouse is relatively understudied in comparison to other well-known monuments like the Great Pyramids of Giza. This volume helps to fill that gap and will be useful to students of the Hellenistic period. It is deeply researched, referencing a multitude of ancient and modern sources which are organized in the book’s bibliographies. A set of appendices at the end of the book concisely summarizes the basic timeline and facts relating to the lighthouse, as conveyed through historical sources.

The author Andrew Michael Chugg is a historian who has authored books on the Hellenistic period including The Lost Tomb of Alexander the Great (2004). Chugg graduated with honours from Trinity College, University of Cambridge. He is an Executive Technical Expert in EMC & Radiation Physics at MBDA.

FINALIZED CONCEPT ART FOR MEDIC/VIOLET <3

NAME: EMC-499 NICKNAMES: Violet, Medic, Pest (By Paralipsis), Kid (By Civic) ALLIANCE CLASS: Cameraman Faction WORK CLASS: Emergency Medical Cameraman Division (EMCs) GENDER: She/Her

CLASSIFICATION: Artificial Mind (non-human origin)

RANK: Chief Medical Officer and Head Therapist of Psychological Affairs of Outpost 51

EMC-499, known as Violet or Medic to those who know her best, is a spunky camerawoman who graduated the E.M.C Training Regiment at the top of her class. She knows her stuff when it comes to best medical practices and like all E.M.Cs, also trained to handle mental health.

Friendly, outgoing, and absolutely fearless when it comes to her job (not so much social situations), Violet is the "unsinkable" camerawoman, who refuses to let anything get to her and to help her friends whenever she can.

(more details under the cut!)

EMC-499 was brought online as an artificial mind which is to say, her mind and personality did not come from a human host, but developed organically through interactions with her online cohort. Eventually, one of the older cameramen, known by the nickname Gestalt, would adopt her and show her the ropes.

Eventually EMC-499 would endeavor to join the Emergency Medical Cameraman Division, inspired by their work of helping others during and after battles, risking life and limb to save their comrades. Such bravery appealed more to her and Gestalt was happy with that...mostly as he saw it as a way to keep the rather diminutive EMC-499 away from actual combat as much as possible.

EMC-499 did not know of these plans, throwing herself into her studies and coming out at the top of her class. Among her training cohort, she gained the name "Violet" in reference to Violet Jessop, as a tongue and cheek joke of her being "unsinkable" in her endeavors to become the top E.M.C responder.

Once graduated, Violet was more than eager to get into the fight and put her training to use on the front lines and not just patching up alliance in the medical bay. Instead, she was sent to Outpost 51 to handle the most "difficult mental health cases" in the Alliance, keeping her far from the front and relatively out of sight. Violet was disappointed, incredibly so, but a job is a job and she has thrown herself into helping the residents of Outpost 51 on her case load.

The title of Chief Medical Officer is not too glorious, given she is the only E.M.C on duty at said outpost. Still, she hopes by doing a good job she can prove she's ready for the frontline or even to get promoted to the E.M.C Titan Division. Most of her friends and charges call her "Medic" as a result, which she doesn't mind. THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL CAMERAMAN (ramblings here just because Violet/Medic would ramble on about her beloved E.M.C hehe!) A relatively new division that grew out of the growing need for medical professionals as the causalities mounted and concerns about mental health became more prominent.

The E.M.C are trained to get alliance off the field and provide life-saving treatment with a variety of tools taken into the field. They also though perform crucial screenings for mental health to ensure alliance going into battle are of a sound mind and are cleared for combat. Not to be confused with engineers, the E.M.C are focused on physical and mental well-being, not on upgrade research , rebuilding of bodies and lost limbs, or mind recovery and transfer operations. A small, elite division of the E.M.C, called the Titan Division, are assigned to assess mental states of the Titans to ensure that the mighty backbones of the alliance are given the proper attention to all points of their health.

The E.M.C is currently assisting with the training of the new E.M.S (emergency medical speakermen) division to help expand their roster. Currently an E.M.T division has yet to be established, the TV Men preferring to use the E.M.C services due to their smaller numbers in general within the greater alliance.

Why do my headlights keep going out?

The following is a systematic analysis and solution based on the problem of frequent headlight extinguishing of your vehicle:

I. Core fault causes 1. Circuit overload causes fuse to blow

Short circuit or overload: Damage to the insulation layer of the wiring harness (such as friction between the wiring harness and metal parts in the engine compartment) will cause a short circuit, or the modification of high-power LED bulbs (such as 100W) exceeds the original circuit design capacity.

Detection method: Use a multimeter to measure the resistance at both ends of the fuse. If it is close to 0Ω, there is a short circuit; if the resistance value is normal but the fuse blows repeatedly, it is necessary to check whether the load exceeds the standard.

2. Relay/switch aging failure

Relay contact adhesion: Long-term current shock causes contact oxidation, and the circuit cannot be disconnected normally, which may cause intermittent power outage of the headlight.

Carbonization of the combination switch: The internal contacts of the headlight switch form high resistance (>5Ω) due to arc erosion, resulting in voltage fluctuations that cause the light to flicker or go out.

3. Poor connector contact

Plug oxidation: When the headlight socket is damp, the metal contacts generate copper oxide (especially in rainy areas), the resistance increases to more than 10Ω, and the current transmission is unstable.

Wiring harness is not connected: The terminal is not tightened during maintenance or the vehicle vibration causes the connector to loosen (common in off-road vehicles), and the measured voltage fluctuation can reach ±3V.

4. Bulb and circuit compatibility issues

Poor quality LED modification: Non-automotive grade LED driver EMC is unqualified, generating high-frequency harmonics to interfere with BCM control signals.

Halogen filament breakage: After the filament is partially melted, it may be briefly overlapped, showing random extinguishing (typical symptoms at the end of life).

II. Diagnostic process and tools Step-by-step troubleshooting table: Step Operation Tool/parameter Normal value range 1 Check fuse specifications and blown state Visual inspection + multimeter Original rated current (usually 10-20A) 2 Measure headlight socket voltage (ignition switch ON) Digital multimeter 11.5-14.2V 3 Shake the wiring harness to observe light changes (simulate vibration interference) Manual test Voltage fluctuation should be <0.5V 4 Replace relay test Relay of the same model Contact resistance <0.1Ω 5 Read BCM fault code OBD-II diagnostic instrument (such as Autel) No U0100/U0155 code

III. Targeted solutions 1. Circuit protection upgrade

Replace slow-blow fuses (such as ATO series), which have a surge current resistance 300% higher than fast-blow fuses.

Install ceramic insulation sleeves to protect the wiring harness in the engine compartment, which can withstand temperatures up to 1000℃.

2. Connection reliability optimization

Replace the original tin-plated plugs with gold-plated terminals, and the contact resistance is reduced to below 0.02Ω.

Apply conductive silicone grease (such as Dow Corning DC-4) in the socket to prevent oxidation and enhance sealing.

3. Control module reset

Perform a hard reset on the BCM: disconnect the negative pole of the battery for 10 minutes to clear the historical fault memory.

Update BCM firmware: Some models (such as Volkswagen after 2018) need to be upgraded to SW026 or above to fix the lighting control BUG.

Fourth, repair costs and suggestions Fault type Typical repair solution Cost range (RMB) Fuse/relay replacement Original spare parts + labor ¥80-200 Wiring harness repair Partial wiring + heat shrink tube insulation ¥300-600 BCM programming 4S shop special equipment matching ¥500-1,200 Full vehicle lighting system detection Diagnostic instrument + load test ¥200-400

Operation warning:

Do not use copper wire instead of fuse, which may cause the wiring harness to melt (case: a car owner caused a cabin fire).

LED modification requires simultaneous upgrade of the cooling system, and it is recommended to choose an integrated assembly with IP67 protection level.

If self-diagnosis fails, it is recommended to use an infrared thermal imager to scan the circuit (abnormal heating points are often the source of the fault), or contact a professional technician to perform oscilloscope waveform analysis (capture power ripple and relay control signals).

SwRI adds new chamber for spacecraft-related EMC, EMI testing

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has added a semi-anechoic shielded enclosure for electromagnetic compatibility and interference (EMC/EMI) testing for spacecraft. The test chamber is the next step in SwRI’s plans to create a turnkey spacecraft integration and test center within its 74,000-square-foot Space System Spacecraft and Payload Processing Facility.

The 400-square-foot EMC/EMI Chamber is semi-anechoic, or free of echo, and shielded from electromagnetic interference. It supports performance of standard emissions and susceptibility testing with an upper frequency limit of 40 gigahertz (GHz) (Ka-band) and also provides the ability to perform spacecraft self-compatibility testing, which ensures that spacecraft subsystems and components work correctly and do not interfere with each other. The chamber will also evaluate radio frequency performance and compliance, important capabilities for wireless and telecommunications operations.

“This new chamber performs tests that indicate how a spacecraft will respond to a space environment. It incorporates significant automation, allowing us to test satellites and instruments more quickly and efficiently while maintaining appropriate cleanliness levels,” said Institute Engineer John Stone. “Locating the EMC/EMI chamber adjacent to other test facilities will also reduce the time lost and risk incurred while moving the test articles between buildings on the SwRI campus.”

The chamber is part of a 11,000-square-foot environmental testing facility within SwRI’s Space System Spacecraft and Payload Processing Facility, which also includes a high-decibel acoustic test chamber. The same building is home to 20,000 square feet of integration facilities, including two ISO 7 class 10,000 cleanrooms with 5-ton overhead bridge cranes and two ISO 8 class 100,000 high-bay cleanrooms outfitted with 7.5-ton bridge cranes.

In late September, the chamber performed EMC and EMI testing for four satellites that comprise the Polarimeter to UNify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) spacecraft. PUNCH, a SwRI-led NASA mission that will image how the Sun’s outer corona becomes the solar wind, is set to launch in February 2025.

“This chamber is an exciting addition, and we plan to continue to grow the capabilities of this facility as a site for comprehensive spacecraft integration and testing,” Stone said.

SAR (Specific Absorption Rate)

SAR measures the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the human body when using a wireless device. To protect users from excessive exposure to radio waves, regulatory bodies establish maximum SAR limits. Manufacturers must test and disclose the SAR levels of their products, enabling consumers to make informed choices.

Product Labeling and Certification

Regulatory compliance often requires manufacturers to obtain certification for their wireless devices. These certifications, such as FCC, CE (for European markets), or other regional certifications, demonstrate that a product meets all relevant safety and performance standards. Labeling on the device indicates its compliance status, ANATEL Certification for Brazil allowing consumers to identify certified products easily.

Security and Privacy Compliance

As wireless devices collect and transmit sensitive data, ensuring data security and privacy is a critical aspect of regulatory compliance. Regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe and various data protection laws worldwide mandate that manufacturers take appropriate measures to safeguard user data.

Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates

OTA updates are crucial for maintaining the security and functionality of wireless devices. Manufacturers must design their devices to facilitate secure and regular updates, ensuring that vulnerabilities are promptly addressed.

User Education

Compliance isn't solely the responsibility of manufacturers and regulators; consumers play a vital role. Users should stay informed about the regulatory requirements for their wireless devices, including firmware updates and proper usage. Understanding the potential risks and best practices can enhance the overall safety and performance of these devices.

The Next Generation of Automotive Control Cables: What to Expect

In today’s fast-evolving automotive industry, control cables continue to play a vital role in ensuring vehicle safety, comfort, and performance. These cables may seem like simple components, but they are essential in connecting drivers to their vehicles—literally and mechanically. Accelerator cables, clutch cables, brake cables, and gear shift cables are all examples of control cables that help drivers operate their vehicles with ease and precision.

As we look toward the future, control cable technology is evolving along with the vehicles they serve. From the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) to the integration of smart technologies, control cables are undergoing changes to meet new demands. This blog explores the future of automotive control cables, highlighting major trends, new technologies, and what manufacturers and OEMs can expect in the coming years.

1. Rise of Electric Vehicles and Cable Reengineering

One of the most significant shifts in the automotive world is the global adoption of electric vehicles. Unlike traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, EVs require different types of control systems. However, even in EVs, mechanical and hybrid cable systems are still required for tasks like seat adjustments, hood releases, and specialized commercial applications.

This trend is pushing cable manufacturers to innovate and redesign control cables that are lighter, more compact, and compatible with electric vehicle architecture. In many EVs, space optimization is a priority. As a result, control cables must now be engineered to function within tighter compartments, with better flexibility and resistance to heat generated by battery components.

Additionally, electric and hybrid vehicles introduce new requirements such as electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Cables used in these vehicles must be shielded or grounded properly to avoid interference with electronic systems. This will drive more collaboration between cable manufacturers and EV designers.

2. Lightweight and Eco-Friendly Materials

As automotive companies aim to reduce vehicle weight for better fuel efficiency and lower emissions, the demand for lightweight components is rising. Control cables are no exception. Traditionally made from steel and rubber, newer cables are now being designed using high-tensile synthetic fibers, lighter alloy cores, and advanced plastic sheathing.

These materials not only help reduce vehicle weight but also improve cable flexibility and performance. The use of recyclable and non-toxic materials is also growing, aligning with stricter environmental regulations and the automotive industry’s sustainability goals.

In the near future, we expect to see wider adoption of thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), bio-based plastics, and composite cable technologies that offer high strength while being eco-friendly.

3. Durability, Low Maintenance, and Longer Lifespan

Automotive control cables are exposed to constant motion, friction, heat, and external contaminants like dust, water, and chemicals. The future of control cable design will prioritize longer service life and minimal maintenance.

Advanced lubrication materials, sealed cable designs, and self-lubricating liners are already being developed to extend cable durability. Manufacturers are also using corrosion-resistant coatings and stainless steel wires for applications that demand higher strength and long-term reliability.

With customers expecting long-lasting vehicles and lower maintenance costs, control cables are now engineered for 1,50,000 km or more without failure—especially in commercial vehicles and heavy-duty applications.

4. Integration with Smart and Autonomous Systems

Another major shift is the rise of connected and autonomous vehicles. As sensor-based technologies take over traditional driving tasks, the role of mechanical control cables is being redefined.

However, instead of becoming obsolete, control cables are evolving to complement electronic systems. Hybrid cable systems—where a mechanical cable is integrated with electronic sensors—are being developed for use in smart seat systems, adaptive pedals, and safety release mechanisms.

Additionally, smart cables with embedded sensors can monitor cable tension, temperature, and performance in real-time. These cables can alert drivers or onboard diagnostic systems when service is needed, preventing breakdowns and improving overall vehicle safety.

This trend will make control cables not just functional, but intelligent components that contribute to the vehicle’s health monitoring system.

5. Increased Customization for Specialized Vehicles

With the boom in electric delivery vans, personal mobility vehicles, off-road utility vehicles, and electric two-wheelers in urban areas, there's a growing need for highly customized control cable solutions. Unlike standard passenger cars, these vehicles often operate under specific conditions, requiring cables tailored for unique applications.

From throttle and brake cables in last-mile delivery EVs to clutch and shift cables in agricultural and construction equipment, manufacturers must offer a wide range of solutions with variable length, pull strength, outer casing flexibility, and end fittings.

This trend is fueling the demand for low-volume, high-precision cable production and faster prototyping capabilities. Rapid customization and short production cycles will be a major competitive advantage for future-ready control cable manufacturers.

6. Focus on NVH Reduction

Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) has always been a critical performance factor in vehicles, especially in luxury and premium models. Traditional control cables can create unwanted noise or resistance during operation if not well-designed.

With the advent of quieter electric vehicles, any mechanical noise becomes more noticeable. Hence, the next generation of control cables is being developed with smoother liners, dampening sheaths, and advanced internal structures that reduce friction and vibration.

OEMs now demand ultra-silent cable systems that enhance the driving experience while still meeting mechanical performance standards.

7. Localized Manufacturing and Shorter Supply Chains

Global supply chain disruptions in recent years have pushed many automotive brands to localize component sourcing. This trend includes control cables, which are increasingly being manufactured closer to assembly plants.

Local manufacturers that offer fast delivery, technical customization, and just-in-time (JIT) capabilities are being favored over large overseas suppliers. As a result, regional players are becoming key partners in vehicle production.

The future of control cable manufacturing lies in localized, agile production units equipped with advanced CNC, crimping, and testing setups to handle both bulk and custom requirements.

8. Testing, Simulation, and Digital Twin Technology

The integration of digital tools in manufacturing is another future-forward trend. Control cable manufacturers are now using advanced simulation software to predict cable behavior under different stress levels, temperature conditions, and motion cycles.

Digital Twin technology, where a virtual replica of a control cable system is created for real-time performance monitoring, is also gaining popularity in R&D labs. These tools reduce the development time, improve accuracy, and help manufacturers create better products with fewer iterations.

Going forward, AI and machine learning may also be used to predict cable failure patterns and improve quality control during the manufacturing process.

9. Compliance with Global Safety Standards

As safety regulations evolve worldwide, manufacturers must ensure that their control cables meet international certifications like ISO/TS 16949, SAE J1128, and others. This includes rigorous testing for tensile strength, elongation, heat resistance, vibration performance, and environmental stress.

Meeting these standards not only builds trust with OEMs but also helps manufacturers tap into global markets with confidence. In the future, we may also see standardization efforts around smart cable communication protocols in electric and autonomous vehicles.

Final Thoughts

The future of automotive control cables is anything but outdated. While vehicles are becoming smarter, greener, and more autonomous, mechanical and hybrid control cables continue to evolve alongside them. From smart materials and sensor integration to lightweight design and predictive maintenance, these components are becoming more advanced, intelligent, and efficient.

OEMs and vehicle manufacturers looking to stay competitive must prioritize innovative control cable partners who understand emerging trends and are equipped to meet dynamic requirements.
