".... well, actually, the golden-eared audio wackos can hear it .... they can hear 0.002% THD."<p>How snide, Dean. How very, very snide. And they also can "hear" whether the 0-gauge speaker wires are silver-plated or not. Sheesh!<p>(This is not to start a sub-thread, just to expr...

"...energy has a price."<p>we know that energy has a price and that is why many threads along this line were started in this forum and what we are doing is kicking around the possibilities as well as the impossibilities which are usually promulgated by folks who don't necessarily understan...

Ah, clear. Thank you both!

Protects you personally from faults in the extension... like after you've left the extension run under your garage door for five months and the neutral wire is broken. For example.

"1 horsepower = 550 pound-foot-radians per second"<p>I'm at work on a long-overdue and well-deserved break, so maybe I'm not thinking straight, but shouldn't there be a (2 x pi) in there somewhere?<p>Coffee! Me need coffee! Gimme coffee! NOW!<p>(Thanks for the acknowledgement, Will!)<p>[ S...

"They...use ft.lbf to distinguish energy or work and lbf.ft to indicate torque."<p>Okay, now I got it. It's merely a convention to distinguish between the two --and the "pound-feet" torque is static, meaning a turning or twisting force which is not applied through a distance.<p>I...

"I do know better than to wire inside the tank."<p>OK, but don't put too much power into the sending unit. Arc. Boom. I repeat and reiterate:<p>Don't eff with the fuel tank.<p>You will feel pretty bad if your son is killed in a fiery arc-and-boom because of your tinkering.<p>("Gauge&q...

I knew somebody would figure out the HP equivalent of stone-furlong per fortnight for me! Thanks, Will!<p>So far, it seems to me that <p>3 x 6 .NE. 6 x 3, according to one faction.<p>and,<p>3 x 6 = 6 x 3, according to the other faction.<p>Doesn't this involve the Law of Commutation in arithmetic?<p>...

OK, I'll go along with the car ads which quote torque in pound-feet lately. I'll try to remember this.<p>So the story about the furlong-stone per fortnight measure of power, which I'm fond of quoting, is incorrect, I guess.<p>It should be stone-furlong per fortnight.<p>[ September 19, 2005: Message ...

Ahhhh... Now you've learned engineering management.

Make and model year, please?<p>Other diagnostics you have done? (Fusing, mechanical interference with the float from rust or dents, continuity checks, etc.?)<p>Recommendation: Don't eff with the fuel tank: don't add stuff, especially electronics, in the tank. Boeing airliners have gone down because ...

So if I say, "746 Watts," what do I mean in mechanical terms?<p>And is it dyne-cm or cm-dyne per second?

You are right, Jwax. Almost any chemical which ionizes in water can be used to make an electrolytic cell., Absolutley pure water does not conduct electricity well --it's actually a pretty fair insulator.<p>The danger with water + electrical equipment is that the water which comes in contact with the...

No, I think if they're using potassium hydroxide as an electrolyte, it will plate out onto the negative electrode, and then instantly react with the water to make potassium hydroxide again, plus the hydrogen, which bubbles out of the equation and the cell.<p>K + H20 --> KOH + H<p>You're right about ...

The sum total of technical information in the whole four pages is:<p>"... (snip)... Basically, the H2N-Gen contains a small reservoir of distilled water and other chemicals such as potassium hydroxide. A current is run from the car battery through the liquid. This process of electrolysis create...
