Baluncore's latest activity
-
Baluncore replied to the thread Appliances Uultrasonic cleaner trouble.The ultrasonic transducer sits between the tank and a counterweight. The counterweight can usually be adjusted to match and work against... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Remote Controlled Bowling Ball using Gyroscopes.Maybe reaction wheels are one way to control the ball. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_wheel -
Baluncore replied to the thread Undergrad Diodes and low grade thermal energy harvesting.Look for HgCdTe (MCT) photodiodes, or LW IR LEDs. Multiply the room temperature dark current, (probably less than 10-9A) by 0.25V to... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Undergrad Why is water pressure increased in a plastic bag in a bucket?.I missed this thread earlier, so now is the time to acknowledge all the previous work, before I attempt to handwave a consistent, and... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Undergrad Diodes and low grade thermal energy harvesting.Solar panels do not work in the dark. They are designed to operate at visual wavelength, in sunlight. Indoors, there will be thermal... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Undergrad Diodes and low grade thermal energy harvesting.There is little energy at those wavelengths because the voltage is low. Electron energy can be specified in eV. Longer wavelengths... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Interpreting VIA PCB through TDR and TDT.This LTspice model is sufficient to model the signal passing through a via. T1 is the line on one side of the PCB. T2 will become the... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Interpreting VIA PCB through TDR and TDT.Tektronix produced this 114 page reference. Time-Domain Reflectometry Measurements, by James A. Strickland... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Interpreting VIA PCB through TDR and TDT.Here is a simple TDR simulated in LTspice. Remove the .txt extensions from both files, then run the LTspice file.asc Start by changing... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Interpreting VIA PCB through TDR and TDT.TDR is a plot of impedance (driver voltage) against reflection time. Z = √( L / C ) You cannot say if it is the inductance or the... -
Baluncore reacted to berkeman's post in the thread Interpreting VIA PCB through TDR and TDT with
Like.
What you show is a 3-layer PCB, which is not used in practice. This point made by @Baluncore should be emphasized. It is generally a... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Engineering Half wave voltage doubler.Then you would have seen a "tripler" circuit in a CRT monitor, driven by the horizontal output transformer... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Engineering Half wave voltage doubler.That is because the output voltage is to be negative relative to ground, as in the diagram in post #1. I think in post #1, they are... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Interpreting VIA PCB through TDR and TDT.You have two tracks with known impedance, joined through the PCB by a short cylindrical via. The via will probably not match the...
