Baluncore replied to the thread Electronics Failing While In Storage.If they were not sealed, then you could put items in a vacuum chamber. Maybe that could be as simple as a plastic bag and a vacuum cleaner. -
Baluncore replied to the thread Undergrad Capacitor Voltages at t = 0: Zero or Split?.SPICE simulates circuits with discrete time steps of dt, that it adaptively selects. If two 500nF capacitors in series = 250nF, are... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Graduate Unsolved Problems in Near Surface Geophysics.Mineral exploration is multidimensional. You need petrology, geochemical, and structural geology, with geomorphology, to identify... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Undergrad Capacitor Voltages at t = 0: Zero or Split?.This would not be the first time that ChatGPT followed a thread on a forum, quoting earlier posts back at a participant. -
Baluncore replied to the thread Undergrad Capacitor Voltages at t = 0: Zero or Split?.Step rise time, tr = 1 ps. Total circuit resistance, R2 = 1 pΩ. Initial charge current, I = 250 kA. Those are quite unreal values for a... -
Baluncore reacted to Dale's post in the thread Undergrad Capacitor Voltages at t = 0: Zero or Split? with
Like.
In your sim you added R2. This is perfectly reasonable to do, but it is no longer the circuit that the argument is about. Once you add... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Undergrad Capacitor Voltages at t = 0: Zero or Split?.Welcome to PF. An impossible situation has been hypothesised. If V1 is an instant step function, then it must instantly charge the two... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Stirring Coffee Effectively.Correct. Honey is a supersaturated solution of glucose in fructose, with some other minor compounds. Glucose crystals form initially, as... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Stirring Coffee Effectively.If you stir in sufficient sugar, to saturate hot coffee, then you must expect to initially add more solid sugar than is needed, or it... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Why must residential electrical systems be connected to Earth (soil)?.Because a common ground connection protects the insulation, by preventing overvoltage, that might break it down. -
Baluncore replied to the thread Simple problem with voltages.The arrow must represent a conventional current source, or there could be no potential difference between the points A and B.. -
Baluncore replied to the thread Stirring Coffee Effectively.Is the coffee problem different to stirring paint in an open can ? -
Baluncore replied to the thread Stirring Coffee Effectively.Maybe, you need a semicircular plate, attached to a rod that is on the axis of the circle. Push it down, rotate the stick and lift it up... -
Baluncore replied to the thread What Are The Functions Of A GPU?.It comes down to the two different meanings of the term "vector", which in computing, can refer to both a 1D array of many elements, or... -
Baluncore replied to the thread Why Are You Still Here? A Curious Question.We cannot take our hard-won knowledge with us when we go, so we entrust it to PF, to pass on. We leave it here so google can index it...
