Oh and I was trying to let him down gently :) There's a clip on YouTube where some guy is measuring the magnetic field or something like that of the consumer unit with his phone. I don't think he even knows what he is measuring. He then closes the door which is ummm metal and shows a reduction...
Hi Michael, nice photo by the way. Anyone you know? :)
I very much doubt if this would work. I don't see how something so small could do anything to effect the extremely low impedance of the incoming mains supply. Do you really think this can reduce spikes and change the harmonic content and...
Hi Chopnhack. I just got selection of capacitors and resistors from amazon. Have a look they do different size kits. They also do a kit of semiconductors which includes transistors and a few 555 timers. Unfortunately I accidentally ran over the 555 timers in my car and now they don't work. :)...
I think what's more important is matching the current handling capacity of the original switch. A good indicator might be to see what the fuse rating is for that circuit.
Thanks

Hello will this fit the bill? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adjustable-Regulated-Linear-Bench-Supply/dp/B0056BHI9O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1406551823&sr=8-2&keywords=adjustable+power+supply
If you want 5 V and 9 V then I am sure you could design a 5 V regulator to run from the power supply set at 9 V.

Also it's a Tantalum capacitor so you have to check on the package size. Tantalum capacitors come in packages in either dimension format or case size like A,B,C and D. Unfortunately you can get the same value of capacitance and the same voltage rating in different sizes so you need to check...
This Website. Full of lots of good info. I might be a bit biased though. Joking aside why don't you have a look on Amazon they have lots of books for this sort of thing. Also discover circuits is a good resource for circuits.

The RMS of an AC sine wave is the DC equivalent voltage. This the DC voltage required across say a resistor that will produced the same amount of power as your sine wave does. So for a 1 Volt DC source with a load of 1R the resistor will dissipate 1 Watt of power.
A sine wave is not DC so it...
