    Correct my errors as I make them, if u please

    I was told to believe and instructed to understand that the funny bone is connected to the giggle bone which resides at the inner end of the lower bone ( sometimes referred to as the lone bone ) at a perpendicular attitude. For non-electronic people, if this text is difficult to interpulate, u r...

    Alerts alert

    I can again log in, read my alerts, log out, log in, and alerts which I have previously read, still appear. Is removal of acknowledged alerts on a 24 hour clock? I thot perhaps the grayed alert box had significance but apparently mistaken.

    ITT bashing

    This question has evolved from recent political statements that I recently viewed. The politics of the matter are of no concern of mine but the subject matter is. Does ITT deserve the recent bad-mouthing it has received on national news? The only contact I had with ITT was a job interview...

    Crop circles. Easy reading

    This thread is more so destined for the Twilight Zone section but I was denied access to that forum. No biggy. Since 1972, somewhere around the introduction of the rotary Wankel internal combustion engine, I decided to lay down plans for an internal combustion engine which possessed nearly no...

    I'm I correct to assume this site is MAKER PRO and no longer Electronics Point?

    Views of individual thread counts

    I noticed that the "Views" posted with "Replies" in the thread listings is rounded off to the nearest 1000. My preference is to have the actual realtime count. Surely a couple lines of code can extract count from reply count register and puke it out onto the Views listing. If you didn't leave...

    Desparately seeking off button

    I'm running Windows 10 on a Dell computer. Every time I call up a virtual volume control and change its setting, and release my grip on the emulated slide switch by lifting left click finger, there is an audio report played at the new volume level. I'll estimate that I have spent 30 to 40...

    Lead acid battery minimum discharge level

    I have read many recommendations that a 12 V lead acid battery should not be discharged to a voltage lower than 10.5 V. Why is this. Does it have to do with the acidity of the electrolyte which may determine the temperature at which the electrolyte freezes? Or at lower voltage levels does the...

    Lightning in a bottle

    Capturing the electrical energy from a lightning strike is no big ta-do. It's getting the bolt to strike where you need it to. If that's not enuff headache, ya gotta produce one out of clear skies. How bout a nice big hot cup of ionized gas to settle your queezies?

    How do I delete alerts from the alert list?

    After I see an alert in my profile and go to new post to read, how do I delete that particular alert from the list?

    Radio spelunking reception

    What are my chances of receiving clean video signals from a radio transmitter ~ 500ft directly below me in an eight inch diameter hole. I am also curious as too the added situation of the radio trans being submersed in ~ 200ft of water, in the same size hole.

    Video signal DC level adjustment

    If I receive a video signal thru wire that is ~500 ft long, I'll be concerned about its DC level. Is it practical to capacitively couple the signal to my video amplifier or will an attenuation factor of the caps degrade the signal. I'm too lazy to do the calcs I suppose but also I'm uncertain of...

    Class D audio amp

    I am constructing a class D audio amp. The plans I have are using am LM393 dual comparator for mixing audio signal with high freq triangle wave. The response time of the 393 is 1.5μs. I suspect that if the response time is this lengthy, slew rate also is lengthy. My triangle wave is at 200KHz...

    NiMH battery pack mystery

    I use 6 - AA NiMH cells together in a 6 x AA battery holder. My application typically uses a timed on state drawing 50mA to 2A. In this application, I have sufficient power to drive the device for 90 to 120 minutes. These times should improve as I refine my circuit values. Each cell has a rating...

    Transistor prototype photo

    Here is a more clear photo of the " first " transistor that I used as an avatar for a short time. A square centimeter can now hold what, a few billion, maybe a trillion transistors ? Actual physical problems of an atomic size nature are the current bottle neck is what I hear. The transistor is...

    Grounding question in regards to battery powered inverters.

    I desire to earth ground my 12V inverter in hopes of cleaning up its output waveform. Inverter is regarded as "pure sine wave" category, if I am remembering the terminology correctly. I realize "pure sine wave" is more of a category than a specification. It does have a pretty good looking output...
