Comparison of high-level computer programming languages
Ultimately all compilers, or the compiler used to compile the compiler, where written in C/C++. It can do anything with no restrictions. It's easy to write very efficient very fast code. it's also just as easy to shoot yourself in the foot with it. But remember the old adage "There will...- FarmerTony

Is a conventional lathe a 1.5 axis machine tool?
Technically its a 4 axis machine, since the tool can be moved in/out up/down (although rare on newer models) and left/right and the piece can be rotated at different speeds. At least this is how it would be determined in robotics. But what you or your teacher call it is academic, it is what...- FarmerTony

Pressure upstream and downstream of a filter
In general as a filter clogs the pressure drop across it increases. If the pump has excess pressure potential, and specifically is controlled by the downstream pressure, then it can remain the same up to a point. It really depends on the rest of the system though. In your post though you...- FarmerTony

How to modulate the output of automotive injectors?
Using automotive injectors for a project. I would like to know if the signal to cause injector operation is - 1. PWM 12V, i.e. one off operation 2. Voltage modulation, i.e. the voltage applied controls the output rate. 3. Current modulation 4. Something else. If so what? Tried an automotive...- FarmerTony
