Shomer Adamah — JournalWhat we are working on at Shomer Adamah.https://shomeradamah.ca/A refrigerator that runs on heat, from 1930, and a solar version on paperhttps://shomeradamah.ca/journal/2026-09-einstein-refrigerator/https://shomeradamah.ca/journal/2026-09-einstein-refrigerator/In 1930 Albert Einstein and Leo Szilard patented a refrigerator driven by heat, not a compressor. The patent has long expired. We drew a solar version on paper. It is not built, and it is not safe to build from this page.Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTHebrew as a memory system: letters, roots and numbershttps://shomeradamah.ca/journal/2026-09-hebrew-as-a-memory-system/https://shomeradamah.ca/journal/2026-09-hebrew-as-a-memory-system/Our Living Memory field studies Hebrew as a way to organise what we learn, in four layers: letters, roots, numbers and our private record, Reshimot. Why we treat it as a memory aid and not as proof of anything.Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTBacteria that make nitrogen from the air, instead of fertilizerhttps://shomeradamah.ca/journal/2026-09-nitrogen-fixing-bacteria/https://shomeradamah.ca/journal/2026-09-nitrogen-fixing-bacteria/Two soil bacteria, Azotobacter and Azospirillum, turn nitrogen from the air into a form plants can use. What a desk study found, why "extracting" that nitrogen is harder than it sounds, and what we would test first.Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTRebuilding shomeradamah.cahttps://shomeradamah.ca/journal/2026-09-rebuilding-the-site/https://shomeradamah.ca/journal/2026-09-rebuilding-the-site/We are rebuilding this site from scratch, in English first, with a calendar and a journal of what we are developing.Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTWhen Rosh Hashanah falls on Shabbat: what tradition says, and what the calendar sayshttps://shomeradamah.ca/journal/2026-09-rosh-hashanah-on-shabbat/https://shomeradamah.ca/journal/2026-09-rosh-hashanah-on-shabbat/In 2026 Rosh Hashanah began on Shabbat. One rabbi links such years to upheaval. We counted how often it happens: nearly three years in ten, so the link needs care. What we take from it is a reason to rest.Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTSeeing sound: from Chladni's plates to cymaticshttps://shomeradamah.ca/journal/2026-09-seeing-sound/https://shomeradamah.ca/journal/2026-09-seeing-sound/In 1787 Ernst Chladni made sound visible with sand on a vibrating plate. What physics says about those patterns, what is real, and where claims about sound and water go further than the evidence.Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTSeven advisors, and what we choose not to claimhttps://shomeradamah.ca/journal/2026-09-what-we-do-not-claim/https://shomeradamah.ca/journal/2026-09-what-we-do-not-claim/We use mathematics as a tool, not as a belief. Three things the Council will not say: that the universe is mathematics, that beauty proves truth, and that seven is a special number.Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT
