For the young, aspiring Engineers!

Some of us on this site are old enough to remember when Radio Frequency was called Kilocycles and Megacycles.

So, for the younger engineering students here, I have provided a link for a conversion chart from cycles per scond to Hertz!

I really should keep that link. It's useful in so many ways...

But.... Hertz=cycles per second....

its a one to one conversion... lol

Old people, ....OLD PEOPLE! ...
GonzoEngineer, that HERTZ!

LOL. I particulary like this part:

To do it mathematically, multiply the frequency in cycles per second by cycles per second and then take the square root of the result.

That's gold.

shhhhhh!

But this one does it with logs!

I must say that I have in some cases had to employ mathematics like this to get people to believe the numbers I've given them, they would insist that it is wrong just taking a certain number and changing the units and giving it back to them so a quick bit of "math" proves my point

Also Gonzo.... I think you meant aspiring* not aspiing, in the title haha

its still fun in the workshop to ask the new young tech to go to the hardware shop and ask for a left or right handed screwdriver

They're always out of them -- which is lucky for me because I'm sinister!

Or green leakage cable. Maybe some spade oil?
