DC Motor Speed Controlers

One car battery is 12volts, not 24. Perhaps you mean two car batts in series. If you have a 36volt motor, and you run it at 24v, it's not going to be at maximum efficiency. You still need to choose a motor controller... And once you have the electronics figured out, you'll then need to...

DC Motor Speed Controlers

I think you're confusing capacity with current. Are the batteries capable of deliver 12amps each? Or are they each rated at 12 Amp-hours? Your math in your diagram is wrong. You let's say you have three batteries rated at 12volts, 12 amp-hours in series. 12v X 3 = 36 volts. But since you're...

i'm 25 am i too old to start an electrician apprenticeship

I'm just finishing up my first year as an electrical apprentice for IBEW Local 6. It's been great so far, pay is decent (only 40% journeyman's wages) but the work is always challenging and rewarding. At my local, the apprenticeship test was basic reading comprehension and basic algebra...

Hotels.com.......I feel like I was ripped off

How can this possibly work if the "hotel booker" is the one that charges your card? Doesn't a site like hotels.com charge your credit card as soon as you submit your booking via the website? Wouldn't that immediately spit out an error page saying your card is invalid? -patchy

Any Of You Guys Buy a VGA cable for the xbox360 off Ebay?

I bought one off ebay (with optical audio), and it works very well! It doesn't feel like a cheap piece of crap, in fact it's rather nice. On my 19inch Sony monitor, I notice no ghosting at all. Gears of war looked great! -patchy

Is Red Lobster Endless Shrimp worth it?

endless shrimp isn't really worth it for the food, but it's worth it for the experience of gorging yourself full of shrimp with some friends. It's a good time everytime I've been.. Skip the breaded crap, ask for nothing but scampi, and let the waiter know you'll need a LOT of them, so have him...

Aluminum foil good for replacement for anti-static bags?

Foil could, however, discharge a capacitor. And though it might not suddenly explode, it probably wouldn't be the greatest idea. Especially if it was a big cap.. -patchy

arg aero ace won't work?

did it ever work? Did it just quit working one day? Are the charging lights working correctly on the transmitter? Check your transmitter batteries. If you're using rechargeables, try alkalines. Though i've never had a problem with NiMH rechargeable batteries with mine, some planes seem to...

Dremel vs. 3/8 Drill

They're pretty much completely different tools. A drill is much slower, probably just a few hundred RPM, while a Dremel tool is up to 30,000 RPM. The dremel tool is more suited for fine, detailed sanding and polishing. You're not gonna use it refinish a table top, for example. -patchy

headphones

if they're ear buds, it's so that the longer cord goes behind your neck. This way you can pull the ear buds out of your ears and have them dangle around your neck rather than fall to the floor. -patchy
