    Why not transmit electricity in 4-phase?

    Your right, I must have did something wrong when building the spreadsheet. The second time I did it, 3-phase does cancel out.

    Why not transmit electricity in 4-phase?

    Or even better, generate in 4-Phase, convert to two-phase for transmission. Even number phases cancel out nicely (contrary to popular belief, 3-phase does not actually cancel out). 2-phase might be convertible back to four phase for the purpose of industrial motors. Forgive me for speaking out...

    Housings for prototypes (electronics)

    As my hobby, I'm working on a robot. I've got the electronics mostly done, and it works. Programming is not a problem, since I'm a professional developer. What's got me stumped is housing the PCB boards. I've look at some products online, but I can't seem to find anything that would allow me...

    Adjusting 78xx voltage regulators with resistors on the ground pin

    I'm not reluctant use an adjustable voltage regulator (the 956 is an adjustable switching regulator). I'm just curious and experimenting.

    Adjusting 78xx voltage regulators with resistors on the ground pin

    I've played with adjustable voltage regulators already (such as nte956). My question is about "non-adjustable" voltage regulators (78xx). What is the easy way to adjust these? And by easy, I mean just using one or two resistors. I've seen some solutions using zener diodes, but I would like...
