He's got the power; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq8nCAoyRDI

It does help to keep the engine lubricated so it does need to be driven some.
Again, I do not watch porn and I, okay I admit it. I watch porn. It just reminds me of the cars I've owned.


With my GTO, it idled at 25 mph and it rocked when idling. It probably had the wrong gearing to go over 150 mph. It had the engine but power needs to be transferred. And we're back to the power grid. And with my GTO, cops always watched me because they heard me a couple blocks away.
Even a guy who owned a Dodge Viper liked revving his engine next to my Buick.
He had 10 cylinders to my 8 but I had the thump. And we're discussing the climate, right? And not American Made Muscle. Sorry, I'm in the wrong forum.

With the GTO, my brother Harold probably took it out street racing on Friday nights. I was in the Navy so didn't need it. Me and my father would spend time fixing bent push rods and a broken frame.
My brother couldn't work because of a foot that doctors were working on. My car probably meant more to him than it did to me. It sure as hell pissed off our mother. She said in the US, we drive 55.
Those crazy Americans.

Not for a formula. Formulae don't have margins of error. "Margin of error" applies to statistical computations from data. The formulae used are simply the formulae. They are either correct or incorrect. Any formula that is incorrect but "close" is still incorrect.

It would still be right. It'd be like saying gravity accelerates at 9.81 m/s. Besides, I'll be able to explain how 14.7 psi or 1.033 kgf/cm^2 became atmospheric air pressure and show the reasoning behind it. I think it will surprise people.
That's where the only thing I need to worry about is building. The only thing that matters right now is resolving my medical situation. That needs to happen so I can have my life back. It'd be nice to be able to do "normal" things again like going for a run. That's what my goal needs to be and everything else needs to wait until then. None of it matters if I can't do anything about it.
The worst part is the boredom because I can't always be working. I'll just have to try a modified form of meditation.

I'm not sure I completely follow you but have you tried changing up your porn, maybe try something different? That might take the edge off the boredom and who knows, you might find that porn matters more than your current goal.

Good luck.

The 2nd one clearly identifies itself. Did you somehow miss that? I thought you and ITN understood logic. What's humorous in a way is the way some science is based on logic yet it's wrong. This shows that logic is a fallacy by definition;
a failure in reasoning which renders an argument invalid.

All the same basic principles, even some of the original equipment, though manufactured modernly.

Instead, we don't even get to read the thrilling secrets, of the Norwegian Electric Grid...

There are no 'relay stations'.

Hasn't changed much at all. Local grounding systems are now installed, and the circuit breakers can trip on more than just an overcurrent for certain circuits (such as a faulty ground reference or a faulty neutral reference), but that's about it.

p.s., and for you Harvey, if my work on Bessler's wheel proves out, then the overbalance would replace water when considering how much electricity could be generated. And with the page I'm linking, it would be close because it considers a 90º rotation of the wheel. Water doesn't necessarily fill the buckets on top until after a bucket starts rotating downward.
https://www.teachengineering.org/lessons/view/cub_energy_lesson02

With that said, I think I'll just take my time and enjoy what I'm doing. And if you're wondering Harvey, someone living off grid or has no stream, etc. might find using gravity power an attractive option. This would make your opinion moot (subject to debate, dispute, or uncertainty).

Gravity is not power. You cannot create energy out of nothing, dude. See the 1st law of thermodynamics. Magick Bessler wheels can't do it either.

p.s., with capacitors, they can discharge stored energy in half cycles.

WRONG! There are 6v systems (including the starter, if any), and 12v systems. EVERYTHING in the car runs off the same system. 6v systems are rare these days. Almost all cars today use 12v systems. A couple use a 24v system.
James___ wrote:
I am purposely not mentioning after market sound systems, etc. Even an after market H.E.I. coil might require 12 volts.

You must use the coil for the system in your car, usually a 12v system. The computer signals that coil to fire with as little as 2v.

You didn't do too well on the SAT, I see. The correct answer is as follows:

Generators:Heart :: Capacitors:Hematopoietic Stem Cells

James___ wrote:This is what makes A.C. more expensive than D.C. to generate.

You're saying that the difference in cost is not due to the cost of the different equipment involved in each case, which is due to the differing scales of work involved in each case?

DC current would be prohibitively expensive on a city-wide scale, which is why AC exists for that purpose.

.



Saying "Capacitors:Hematopoietic Stem Cells" would be wrong. A capacitor serves 2 specific functions within the electrical grid and how energy is generated.
It "charges" the armature

There are no capacitors in a generator.

while ensuring all generators are discharging the same Hz of current to the transformer/into the grid.

Generators can be out of phase when operating. Capacitors "condition" all phases to have the same Hz.

Capacitors do not determine power line frequency. They are not used to align phases of generators.
James___ wrote:
Your 2nd and 3rd paragraphs would be correct. The wording might be confusing to some. Some might confuse scale to mean the generation of energy itself and not the scale on which it is distributed which is what you are asking about. That is why A.C. current won out. It was cheaper when it's scale of distribution was increased. As for the public feud between Edison and Tesla, it only made Edison look bad.

p.s., with capacitors, they discharge automatically.

There is no automation. Capacitors just charge and discharge with the changing voltage.

@IBDM, if I am right, with the atmospheric air pressure of Venus, Earth and Mars, I have a mathematical formula that is within 0.0012 psi. Would that be an acceptable margin of error? 12/10000ths?

Which reminds me.. If your house wiring can't handle 10 amps, and the breaker isn't tripping, the wires get hot, insulation melts, house burns down. Not sure about Kentucky Redneck electrical codes... 10 amp rating on the motor, is it's no load current, and that's without the saw attached to it. The current goes up, when you do work with it. There is also a stall current rating for motors, which is a lot higher.

Just my experience.

This particular car used a resistor in the ignition system (not normally required). The coil itself was wound with too few turns, and cause excessive current to flow across the points during dwell. The capacitor was not set to resonate properly with that coil, and upon opening, an arc would develop across the contacts.

The purpose of the resistor in those cars was to cover up for bad design by reducing the Q of the ignition circuit.

Battery ignition circuits in cars depend on resonance. Without it, the spark plug would never fire. That resonance is provided by the coil itself as the inductor (which also acts as an autotransformer), and the capacitor (also called a 'condenser') usually mounted on the body somewhere, and sometimes in the distributor itself (where it often fails due to heat).

The points on the low circuit side of the distributor trigger the resonance at a specified time. The resulting pulse is stepped up by the transformer to a couple thousand volts (but low current, which is stepped down). This is enough to easily cross the gap in the spark plug under atmosphere conditions.

The inside of a cylinder is NOT under atmospheric conditions. It is highly compressed gasses. Shoving a spark across a plug in these conditions is much harder. The ignition system is designed to work under these adverse conditions.

People often test plugs by taking them out and letting them spark against an engine casing, looking for 'a good spark' (not a weak yellow one). This really isn't a good test, since that same plug can fail under the harsh conditions in the cylinder itself.

It is better to test the plug under similar compression (called a bomb test). This is how aircraft plugs are tested.

Resistors are normally not required, but are used on some ignition systems to cover up a bad match between coil and capacitor. It weakens the spark to use these, but it helps to save the points. They are a band-aid for poor design (including in the Cutlass).

In today's cars, no distributor. No points. Everything is done by the computer (FADEC, or Full Authority Digital Engine Control). The computer reads a timing signal from a crank sensor and another from a cam sensor. Low voltage ignition systems are used, so no thick wires anywhere either. Each spark plug has it's own little coil and capacitor combination, and a power transistor to replace the old mechanical points. These are often called 'coil packs' or 'ignition packs'. A simple current from the computer (about an amp at most) is enough to fire the plug.

Low voltage ignition means less loss because there are no high voltage wires. It's safer too. Less fires caused by such wire insulation breaking down. No more points to adjust or wear out. No fixed setting compensated for using a vacuum line (distributor advance). The computer knows exactly when to fire each plug, and how long to 'dwell' for the coil pack in use.

No carburetor either. It's all multi-point fuel injected now, again controlled by the computer. Primary fuel metering is through a mass airflow sensor (that thing somewhere along the 'shnozz' leading to the throttle body). This means fuel won't come out of suspension along an induction system, meaning much more efficient use of fuel.

Sensor **** up? Something not looking quite right? The computer will throw a code and alert you on the dash. Some even have a little microphone mounted on the engine somewhere to listen for proper burn, knock, or a miss. Like a permanent electronic version of listening to the engine with a stick against your head, but for the computer, and it's always there. The computer can use this information to better detect problems and throw an appropriate code, alerting you to where the problem lies.

The ignition is still basically the same circuit, but is now duplicated for each cylinder and computer triggered.

This circuit is known as a battery ignition circuit. It uses a battery (charged by the alternator) to power the circuit.

Magneto ignition uses a little generator to light up a plug. You still find these on lawnmowers and other small engines, and also on aircraft (even ones with batteries!).

If the fuse or breaker isn't tripping at it's rated load limit, it is a fire hazard and should be replaced.

Houses today have wiring rated for at least 15A per circuit. That's been code requirement for a long time. Most newer houses are all rated at 20A per circuit.

A saw rarely binds to the point of stalling. It will usually throw something at you first!


If a motor stalls, it may indeed draw enough current to trip the breaker.

A fuse is pretty reliable. It will blow when the indicated current is exceeded for more than a fraction of a second. A circuit breaker might be broken. If that is the case, there effectively is NO BREAKER on the circuit. A serious fire hazard exists until the breaker is replaced.

So you're "faulting" me for working through trauma? Not sure why you have an issue with that for. It speaks to a lack of moral character on your part. It's like you vote Republican while they ship American jobs to China. But as people like you say, it's about you. Sure hope you pay for your own healthcare when you retire. It's what Republicans want.

p.s., With an SSTG, they use what's known as an Excited to keep the armature of the generator charged. The one in the engine room I worked in was rated at 1,500 Kw.
I was also qualified for that watch station. If I would've stayed in, throttled an and Top Watch would've been the next 2 watches I could've qualified for. So basically I was very familiar with engine room operations. Kind of why with both atmospheric I can understand the process. I considered what system would allow for what's observed.
And with the experiments that would be helpful, I've learned a lot about science over the years by spending some of my leisure time learning. And I think it will help me to have a life as a result. I knew what I was up against with my hearing loss. Discrimination does make things difficult and there are a lot of people who might appreciate what I'm doing. And I know you're jealous. I get that a lot from Christians.
Nothing in the Bible says not to take an interest in things but you guys act like it does.

p.s.s., One of the purposes of this thread was to consider the amount of energy the U.SU.S. requires and what it takes to meet that demand. At the same time, the current power grid needs a lot of maintenance.
An FYI for you Harvey, gas fired power plants basically have to run continuously. Since demand for power decreases at night, would have a trans-continental power grid make sense?
An example is Europe is 5 hours ahead of us. Could we supply their electrical grid when we're burning coal but not producing energy with it? That would reduce emissions while better managing non-renewable sources of energy. That's Western Europe.
But you'd rather attack me.

Discrimination does make things difficult and there are a lot of people who might appreciate what I'm doing.

Whining.

p.s.s., One of the purposes of this thread was to consider the amount of energy the U.SU.S. requires and what it takes to meet that demand.

At the same time, the current power grid needs a lot of maintenance.

So?

An FYI for you Harvey, gas fired power plants basically have to run continuously.

No, they don't.

Since demand for power decreases at night, would have a trans-continental power grid make sense?

No. Losses are too high and there's no point to it.

An example is Europe is 5 hours ahead of us. Could we supply their electrical grid when we're burning coal but not producing energy with it?

If we're not producing energy with coal, why burn it?
James___ wrote:
That would reduce emissions

CO2 is not a pollutant. It has absolutely no capability to warm the Earth.

while better managing non-renewable sources of energy.

By putting it into power line losses???!?

That's Western Europe.
But you'd rather attack me.

Because you're a whiner. You deny science. You deny engineering. You deny mathematics. You spend your time whining, making up random phrases, spewing random equations, and have no clue about engineering, power generation, or power distribution grids.
