y does radio shack not sel diodes any more?

Looks to me like they still do... see the web site below:

Actually b batties are pretty much non-existent anymore, the modern 9-volt is in the B-battery family, but it has to do with the type of mounting, and the voltage.  B-batteries use a plate type and come in much higher voltages then A, B, or Ds, the manufacturing process is harder for them, so nothing is made for them anymore.

The electronica machines grew smaller.\nYou needed much less energy than with the now old fashion triode

I am not certain if this is still true, however, you use to be able to get them from Radio Shack.  They use to have a listing for all the frequences in the area the store was located in.

they have it at electronic stores like frys, best buy, circuit city, etc. i used to have one but i can't find it. just ask someone who works at the store and they will give it to you.

None of those. You will want a schematic diagram and someone who knows how to read it.

The link above dosn't give any usefull info its some product manual.\n\nall of these components use semi-conductors.\n\nA light dependent resistor is basicly what it names sugests, (it resists more as the amount of light falling on the semi-conductor material inside it increases). These are used in street lights and other such things and can be connected to relays wich can turn on and off circuits.\n\nA diode use two types of semi-conductor n and p(this means one has many "holes" and the othere dosn't (a hole implys a bond without an electron)) which are doped to a have an electric field that only allows current to flow in only one direction, These are useful for protecting other components like micro chips from being burnt by wrong flowing charge.\n\nA transitor uses three chunks of semi conductor in pnp or npn order, each pin on the bottom of a transitor is attached to each chunk. The transitor varys amplifys a signal with a very small current so are commonly used in things like radios for converting the electro magnetic wave to a sound wave. Transitors are also used in micro chips where (with modern technology) many thousands can be fitted in a just a square millemeter.\n\nIm sorry if my explanation seems a little breif but  the guys from AT&T how first descreibed semi-conductors got a Nobel prise and so far i havnt even got a physics AS.

I got one from Radioshack,\nalso i got suckered with their phony rebate scam

I know there is a radioshack in Dubai. I think it was in the mall in (or near Jumeirah - and I probably spelled that wrong)

Yes.  See this article from biz.yahoo.com discussing their announcement in February - the headline and first sentence read as follows:\n\n"Radio Shack to close up to 700 stores\nFriday February 17, 6:08 pm ET\n\nRadioShack said Friday that its fourth-quarter profit had plunged 62 percent, and it's embarking on a turnaround plan that includes shuttering 400 to 700 company-operated stores."

The chips are usually soldered in place on a printed circuit board, and the odds that you could desolder them without grounding or shorting any pins are small indeed. That makes the answer to this question almost positively no, the data will not remain.

By Lance Ulanoff  \nImagine a world where all your portable devices can be charged and powered simply by placing them on a desktop. Chip manufacturer MobileWise has gone well beyond imagining such a world and this week unveiled "a conductive solution" that it believes can make it all possible.\n\nDuring a mid-day press conference in chilly New York City, MobileWise showed off a handful of functioning prototype powerbases and retrofitted mobile devices that all use the company's new MobileWise chipset and enable "Wire-Free" electric power. One chip, the tiny Adapter Controller, goes inside the mobile device and the other, the Contact Controller, gets built into the power base station. These power bases, which were shown in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors, are each covered in an array of gold-plated contacts. The retrofitted mobile devices also have a pair of contracts. With properly configured handheld devices, the bases can, according to company CEO Andy Goren, change any flat surface into a charging/power station.\n\n \n \n \nThe patent-pending technology behind the MobileWise is, on the surface, quite simple. The adapter chip inside the handheld device will, when placed on a base station, receive a very small electrical signal and message from the base controller chip that will power up the adapter chip. The base controller chip will sense for polarity. If there is none (say you place your hand on the base) then it does nothing. If it does find polarity and then a signal from the adapter chip, it will then read information about the voltage level necessary to run the mobile device and begin charging and powering it. Because of the array of contacts—from dozens to hundreds, depending on base size—there's no need to place the device in a special spot or position on the base. In fact, during the demonstration we saw the bases accept multiple devices, charging and powering them all at once.\n\nThe solution is not actually entirely "wire free", however. The base station is plugged into an AC adapter and can deliver up to 30V DC to an individual device. It's also, according to Goren, completely safe, and if any charge were delivered to a person, it would be at the level of a low-voltage battery, virtually imperceptible to humans and certainly not harmful, he added. The final base units will also, he said, be waterproof and protected from electrostatic charges. \n \n \n\n\nDespite calls for MobileWise to manufacture the bases, Goren said the company plans instead on delivering the chipsets to partners who will likely build the adapter chip and proper contacts into their products and OEM the power base manufacturing to another company. MobileWise showed a variety of colors and form factors for the bases.\n\n \n \n \nAcer has already partnered with MobileWise and, according to Goren, may ship a MobileWise-enabled notebook by Q1 of next year. But MobileWise has, it seems, even more intriguing plans on the horizon. The company is already in discussion with a couple of major office furniture manufacturers to build the power array bases and controller chips into furniture. Apparently, these bases are for more than just mobile devices. Properly-equipped televisions, lamps and more could be powered by the bases—Goren even had an HDTV that worked with one of the larger ones. Later next year, MobileWise expects to add data handshake capabilities to the chipset, allowing, once the signal is split, data delivery over the same contacts.\n\nWhile no shipping units currently exist, MobileWise said the adapter chips run roughly $1.25 a piece adding, it said, just a few dollars in manufacturing costs to mobile devices and the base stations could, in units of 100,000 cost roughly $11 to manufacturers. Goren said he expects a mid-sized base (roughly 12 by 18 inches) to sell for $160 street. Not every mobile device will have to be retrofitted, by the way. MobileWise says it expects to see a ha

My husband bought a little tool kit at Radio Shack, but I've also seen them at CompUSA and Frys Electronics.
