DaveE reacted to .Scott's post in the thread Need advice and hints for working with helium with
Informative.
Especially in contrast to Hydrogen, Helium is very inert - it is the most inert element. It's two electrons exactly fill the 1s2 shell... -

What you have there is half of an "H-bridge". The "To Load" terminals should be tied together, and connected to one side of the load... -
DaveE reacted to Steve4Physics's post in the thread Undergrad 20 Megapascals of negative pressure... What? Please explain with
Informative.
A few thoughts... 20MPa is not exceptional. E.g. 20MPa is the tension in a 1mm diameter vertical string with 1.6kg hanging from it... -
DaveE replied to the thread Undergrad What is the most impactful way of introducing Laplace transforms?.I might also mention, but not teach, the z-transform. It's essentially the Laplace equivalent for discrete time systems; digital... -
DaveE replied to the thread Undergrad What is the most impactful way of introducing Laplace transforms?.It is THE main tool for linear systems analysis (often non-linear systems too). Analog circuit design, filter design, control systems... -
DaveE replied to the thread Undergrad 20 Megapascals of negative pressure... What? Please explain.So I guess pressure is just a measure of net force over a defined surface. The acceleration of particles in some local area? I'm... -
DaveE posted the thread Undergrad 20 Megapascals of negative pressure... What? Please explain in Classical Physics.This article (sorry, there's a paywall) describes ultrasound waves creating 20 Megapascals of negative pressure. What does that mean? -
DaveE replied to the thread Today I Learned.All they did was show that you could put unoxygenated perfluorocarbon liquid in someone's butt for 60 minutes without undo harm. No... -
DaveE replied to the thread Series motors, switched to parallel.EE design in real life requires A LOT of research and study, mostly of the subtle details of the components you might use. Also study of... -

That isn't true. The entire body puts out about 70W of heat. The surface area of a hand is probably 1% of the entire body. And...
