Holiday themes. August Practical Electronics, like every year, contains a lot of projects and "something to read". Due to the fact that the electronics are not the work itself, this year we also decided to deal with modeling, namely two of its areas that have been awakening for many years - the models of aircraft and remotely controlled cars. In a specially created for this purpose the "Reflections" column we have provided tips for beginners. Readers' attention is also recommended to the article entitled "How to succeed in consumer electronics". He talks about the fate of inventiveness and about the shines and shadows following his ideas or dreams. You can read about investing and gaining funds for your own company, crowd funding and interesting reflections of people giving us an interview. In the article you will also find descriptions - in my opinion - of unreasonable ideas that have no chance for implementation in the current state of technology and technology, contrary to the laws of physics, unrealisable. Are they intended only to enrich the creators with the money raised from the crowd fund?
