-
Baluncore replied to the thread I How feasible is home radio astronomy?.You are free to select your transform size. For one project, I was monitoring the background noise floor across the HF band from 1 MHz... -
Baluncore replied to the thread The usage of dipole-dipole array in Lumpur Sidoarjo (Lusi).I think the mud is probably marine, originally volcanic ash, washed into the sea. That mud will probably be more conductive than the...

Baluncore replied to the thread How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?.Ferranti was only hired to design the first. Sebastian Ziani de Ferranti was hired by the London Electric Supply Corporation, to design...

Baluncore replied to the thread How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?.48V, 400Hz was mainly used in aircraft for instrumentation, gyros, synchros, resolvers, and magnetic amplifiers, all of which were, in...

Baluncore replied to the thread How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?.There is a reason why they originally settled on 73 volts. Maybe insulation was expensive, while silver was free.

Baluncore replied to the thread How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?.But only on Earth. Back on their home planet, where 80% of their thin atmosphere was argon and neon, with many cosmic rays, there would...

Baluncore replied to the thread How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?.AlexB23 is correct, Australia now employs the international standard, 230V at 50Hz. There is a broad voltage tolerance, so in many...

Baluncore replied to the thread Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?.Yes. Ohm's Law. I = V / R. Current is equal to voltage, divided by resistance. The main AC supply distributes a standard voltage. The...

Baluncore replied to the thread How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?.If they were so silly as to standardise on such a low voltage and high current system, I doubt they would have advanced electrical...

Baluncore replied to the thread How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?.Because wiring heat losses are W = I²·R, aluminium wire would work, but never steel for the conductors, more likely copper or silver.
