I really like the "out of the box" concept, clean and simple, whether for a company or an individual home owner. At any rate, it's clear I have my work cut out for me...I'll hit the drawing board and see what I can put together. Thanks Jim!

Jim...your wisdom speaks layers...I'm just a naive student trying to find a unique way to position myself in the market with something that will make me stand out to prospective employers. Perhaps, as you mention I'm trying to fix a problem that isn't even there. Power is my passion, I was...

Bobby I apologize because you are absolute right and I should know better...I have read about android/ios applications in the past that do have "smart" features, but I have not read about them recently. I should definitely do my own research first but nevertheless thank you very much for the...

Any ideas on how I could put together a smaller prototype of a smart grid system? Just brainstorming here but here are a few things I was thinking Grid in a BOX Marketability is key right? So why not design some kind of "smart box" system that residential home owners can use in their homes...

Hey Alkim, thank you for the clarification. However..i'm still confused. So iridium tin oxide is a substance, and it can be put on top of a regular piece of glass and coat it so that it becomes conductive (is that correct??) However...what you are saying is that actually conductive glass...

thanks psparky. Welding does interest me, but as you mentioned it's probably unlikely that I'll be welding things on my own, while wood-work will likely be commonplace throughout my life. Appreciate the feedback!

I'm going into my second year of a 2 year electrical technology diploma (technologists are like middle men between engineers and technicians), and got hooked on discovery channels' show "biggest brain theory" recently. More than anything, the documenting of the contestants' work in the workshops...

Making my own conductive glass is more of a learning process, I think it would be a really neat project, and I have time to kill since it's summer :)

Hi all, I have been researching conductive glass in my quest to create a solar powered 3D printer :) :). So, I have contacted a few manufacturers in china who sell ITO glass, but it is still a little pricey, and I was wondering what the forums thoughts are on making my own ITO glass. I have...

Well that is the allure of the program for me, as you and I both seem to be a bit older, I want to complete my studies as soon as possible. Autocad seems to be very important when I talk to people as well...perhaps I should invest some time this summer to develop my cad skills. Couple of...

Hey FOIWATER, long story short, I went to uni and have two BA degrees, and worked for a few years as well. What are your thoughts on doing the transition program to lakehead? How are you finding it? Do you think it is absolutely essential for me to get another degree through lakehead, or should...

Hi all, I just finished my first of a 2 year program in Canada for electrical eng. technology, a technologist for my out of Canada friends is a middle man between an eng. and a tech. We have a year to go, and then after I can consider transitioning to Uni to get a degree. All that...

A circuit that measures two resonant frequencies and compares them with an LM741. One 555 is a metal detector with a coil of wire, and the other 555 is to be matched in resonance. Any idea what the name of this circuit is? I thought it was an OP Amp differential amplifier, for metal...

Hey all I'm a student in ontario, Canada looking for a summer internship for this upcoming summer (June - August) I have 4+ years of professional work experience (marketing, business development, public relations and IT), a bachelors degree in media technology but fell in love with electrical...

Thanks for clearing that up, yes there is a difference between a technologist diploma, technology degree, and BEE With all of that in mind, i just finished my first semester. I dropped the ball for about the first 3/4 of it and really picked up my game near the end finishing in the smack dab...
