I put most of the technical papers I write on arxiv.org Some of them have been published in technical journals, some haven’t.
https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.06637 How many acres of potatoes does a society need? Published in The Physics Teacher, 2024. Supplemental calculations for the paper and an ipython notbook about agricultural yields are both available online. MNCOSE 2023 Slides
https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.00013 Don’t throw that video away! Reference Frames can fix Video Analysis with a Moving Camera. Published in Physics Education, Dec 2023. Here are: detailed calculations in Vernier LoggerPro, figure creation with ipython notebooks, and and a demonstration of how to grab and analyze youtube videos. The videos that motivated the paper are online: (Mark Holyoak captures a bear, bouncing off a trampoline](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB47Vucoj2o) and Eugenia Etkina, wearing rollerblades, tosses a ball in the air.
https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.04246 Notes on pulse-width modulation. Probably not that special or novel, but I don’t know where this is talked about at the intro level in Electrical Engineering or Physics textbooks.
