  • Thermal Resistance of Flange Mounted Devices

    The difficulty with the apparently simple definition presented above is in the determination of the flange temperature. In a typical application, the flange is mounted to a thermally conductive

  • The Myth of Ground

    Over the years that I've worked in electronics, I've noticed several common misconceptions about the use of the word "ground." Some of these misconceptions comes from our desires to shorten nomenclature designations to fit the tiny box on our wiring documentation. A large part of the problem comes f...

  • Re: Electrical System Ground Rods

    Quote "NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) Article 250.56 Requires the resistance of Ground Rods to be 25 OHMs or less. Otherwise we are required to drive a second rod and this satisfies the Code.? The NEC does not require any minimum value of resistance for a grounding electrode(ground rod). It mere...

  • Re: Resistance of Pi: CR4 Challenge (12/09/08)

    My take (as a second-rate experimentalist) In so far as ultimate precision cannot exist, neither can exact values of one metre nor exact values of one ohm. As you imply, the definitions of both distance and resistance are in principle capable of being realised to an...

  • Re: Aesthetic Wind-Powered Water Tower Project in Addison, TX

    Good question(s) chrisg288 As I understand it, the supply water of a municipal water tower is primarily gravity feed only. The water draining down from the reservoir above has never, to my knowledge, been considered an alternative source of energy. Water pumps, lighting, maintenance facility ne...

  • Re: Bouncing Balls: Newsletter Challenge (03/06/07)

    After reading through the numerous comments, solutions and observations it's obvious a lot of you have forgotten Engineering 101. First a definition to refresh your memory and then a few assumptions: 1. Elastic collision means NO LOSS of ENERGY. There is, absolutely, no deformation allowed in an...
