I think the relevant issue is you could conceivably have a house with two outlets with opposite phases. Bussing them together in the PSU will then create a short

You're so soft

>When the electromagnetic wave hits a substance, it splits into separate electric and magnetic waves Not in any sense I'm familiar with

You're right, I didn't read thoroughly enough. >Everything joined up via a 2-pin and 5-pin connector on the PCB. From there, it was a straightforward matter of measuring voltages a…

I don't like the notion of doing speed control by putting a digipot in series with a motor. It worked because the fan happened to be low enough power but it doesn't seem like the a…

I don't get what the point of the article is. Is the takeaway that I should lower the channel width in my home? How many WAPs would I need to be running for that to matter? I'd arg…

That's Blood Meridian

Try qalculate. It's great with units and I think will work for base conversions, though I haven't tried that

>Unlike nature, which utilizes passive structures to shape sound, most artificial sound control systems require active devices or resonance-based systems. What's wrong with resonan…

We're already at NISQ

Of course Ukraine conscripts, they're in a war for their survival. They aren't drafting anyone under 25, by the way, so it's not as dire as you seem to think. And Russia's beating …

Why, because Russia can grind out a village a week? Ukraine is inflicting disproportionate losses and is supplied to the hilt by Europe, while Russia's moving closer every day to a…

You shouldn't need to prevent gaps entirely. You only need to make sure there are no holes larger than roughly the wavelength of the radiation you're trying to block. Which, for 2.…

It takes well-calibrated electronics detonating conventional explosives with precise timing to set off a nuclear warhead. The warhead maybe would fizzle but wouldn't detonate becau…

What school system? Sounds like a great setup

Well, yeah, it's a thought experiment. But if we had some sort of ideal box then yes, the cat would actually in a superposition

Sold my stock the other day. Solid gains and I have no qualms about owning defense stocks, but their behavior here is over the line

Not so. See the battle of Kircholm from 1605 as a particularly successful example. Anyway, the discussion is about whether new technology (naval drones) could make old weapons (war…

Cavalry charges absolutely were used to break lines of infantry. It just became obsolete earlier than you think.

If they're trying to dissuade "universal compressors" then Mike needed to ask for the algorithm first, and then generate his file. If you tell me "I bet you can't compress this fil…

Check out sympy.physics.units. I've been using it for unit-checking in my symbolic work for a few years. https://docs.sympy.org/latest/modules/physics/units/index.ht...

Sean Olive. It's motivated by the fact that engineers are mixing audio on (actually-) flat-response monitors in studios with a slight echo, and a "flat" headphone response is the b…

Sorry - not constant power, obviously, since at the extremes the power is 0.

No, electric motors exert the most torque at zero RPM. That's where you can put the most current through the coil, because there's no back-EMF. It's why EVs are so zippy from a sto…
