    Are The Enviromental Wackos Responsible For This?

    Ha, that's funny! On the up side,.. if I looked like that guy I would care less about a strong headwind. :p Chris

    Ever wonder why Windows has more problems than Mac?

    I will confess that I have absolutely no idea where you're going with this. I'm a Christian and a life long hard core conservative that dropped off the radar screen after the last election. I use Windows. My brother in-law has exactly the same leanings. He uses Mac. :confused: I reiterate...

    Stop circuit when battery drops below 3v?

    Ha, this is a catch 22! I'm sure that Kris could design a through hole component design for you but unless a through hole equivalent chip is found it will have a larger component count then the circuit he gave you. Be it known that Kris is our Grand Dragon, Big Kahuna, Don Corleone of discrete...

    Well, I Googled it and so it is! Wow! I really am a fossil!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cast_iron_pipe Chris

    Are The Enviromental Wackos Responsible For This?

    Well they don't. U.S. Steel who was by far the largest manufacturer for many decades have been all but obliterated by environmentalists, primarily the EPA. It's possible that China has now realizes that they've totally cornered the market and the low costs they've flooded the world with are...

    Ever wonder why Windows has more problems than Mac?

    If we're talking about which users prefer which OS then KJ6EAD's God/Political statement holds water. One only has to observe what computer is invariablyused as a Hollyweird prop. It would make for a stimulating debate in the Members Lounge but not here. Engineers and developers probably prefer...

    Ever wonder why Windows has more problems than Mac?

    Well, I've never counted how many windows API's there are but there's thousands of them. I am sure that none of them include God or my political leanings within the function or call statements. :rolleyes: Chris

    The Ultimate Transistor Amplifier

    Yup, you changed the output transformer phasing. Thanks for posting your personal info. I think you're extremely talented and see you as a great asset to our forum! If you had posted that you're 20 I'd have fallen off my chair. Curious; What's the DC resistance of your primary / secondary...

    Ever wonder why Windows has more problems than Mac?

    I was searching for why my new W7 64 bit laptop doesn't always hide the taskbar even though I have AutoHide activated. This post isn't about that because I'm fairly certain I know why. No, this topic is more about why Windows sales far exceed Mac and probably always will. Windows problems...

    Voltage regulator problem

    This Model equates to 122 deg. F. but I've had further thoughts on this design. While it's simple it has two drawbacks that you may not be able to live with. The first is it's large and bulky. The second is it's not adjustable in any way. It would be more complex but I think you would be...

    The Ultimate Transistor Amplifier

    Hi Roger, I confess that I took a peek at your profile because I was curious about your age. Would you care to share that info with us? You don't have to be precise. The age group, teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, etc. will suffice. Chris

    The Ultimate Transistor Amplifier

    IMHO, and from an educational (design and engineering) standpoint, much more is gained from your design than sticking a chip on a board. This certainly doesn't contradict anything Fish said though. Chris

    Are The Enviromental Wackos Responsible For This?

    Sooner or later cycling becomes so addictive that you'll want to service the bike yourself. This of course requires a repair stand that can suspend the bike while leaving the drive train free. I've observed the workings of the pro stand my bike shop uses and wanted those features. The three main...

    Voltage regulator problem

    I should point out that the thermostat need only be bonded to the concoction that you described earlier. The important thing is that it sense the same temperature that the patient does. Chris

    Voltage regulator problem

    Forget the 9V batteries, they're not suitable! Steve is describing a simple circuit that's comprised of only 3 elements... Battery, Thermostat and heater wired in series. The thermostat is a two terminal device (see Steve's link) that is basically a switch. The contacts open when its rated...

    Why I want my old world back!

    Yes Harald, I re-read shrtrnd's post and it certainly deserves kudos. As he says I should milk the PC crap and the senior thing for all it's worth. I can hardly wait for my next encounter. The Ranger will think she's addressing the founding father of Green Peace! On that note I hope Russia reams...

    Why I want my old world back!

    Yeah, I was rejected from jury duty three times! It seems I'm so politically incorrect that neither the prosecution or defense wanted me anywhere near a courtroom! I remember one case in particular. It involved a young Latino male that was charged with resisting arrest and assault on a...

    Stop circuit when battery drops below 3v?

    It's a PChan MOSFET. Chris

    Variable power supply

    Well there's more than one way of doing this. There's also the right way, wrong way, practical way, impractical way, and above all the inefficient way (power wasteful) versus efficient, where >90% of total power is dissipated by the load. If I were doing this linear, which I wouldn't, I'd be...
