DaveE replied to the thread Undergrad How do I stretch a laser from a beam into a sheet?.Your laser will have a label that describes the hazard level (class). You might or might not need eye protection. Don't stare into the... -
DaveE replied to the thread Undergrad How do I stretch a laser from a beam into a sheet?.Also for an easy kludge, a hose clamp and foam tape around the lens. Not great in the optics world, but you get what you pay for. It'll... -
DaveE replied to the thread Undergrad How do I stretch a laser from a beam into a sheet?.If you are so inclined, you can make a good clamp with simple tools in a block of whatever (I'd use Aluminum). Drill a hole just a tiny... -
DaveE replied to the thread Undergrad How do I stretch a laser from a beam into a sheet?.You can just use a good epoxy to glue it to whatever you can find (hint: eBay...). You shouldn't need anything special. You probably... -

DaveE reacted to Herman Trivilino's post in the thread Undergrad One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics with
Like.
That's true for the basic principles of every physical theory. Look at it this way. A proof starts with assumptions and uses deductive... -

DaveE reacted to Averagesupernova's post in the thread Electric power distribution from powerplant to homes with
Like.
The poor OP is likely thoroughly confused by now. The end goal always is to have a steady unchanging voltage where the end user utilizes... -
DaveE replied to the thread Electric power distribution from powerplant to homes.He asked about "more effective", not just more. Your example is good, but maximum power for a given line isn't really the point... -
DaveE replied to the thread I'm trying to intuit how pull-up and pull-down resistors work.Khan academy has some really good tutorials about basic circuit analysis. You may find studying that more productive than this approach. -
DaveE replied to the thread Electric power distribution from powerplant to homes.But as others have said ##R_W## isn't necessarily a constant. I don't think maximum power delivery is the only metric to optimize...
