Hopefully this has not already been asked. It would be hard to do a forum search with the right words to find it if it has been already.
I am wondering if it is ever possible or common place to generate power in a Wye generation scheme and then connect it directly to a transformer with a...
Understood that there is less energy loss in irradiance, but how much energy is lost in the entire process of transforming the energy from electrical to microwave, transmitting it, and then transforming it again. Isn't it much higher than that of a induction transformer we use today?
I saw this article and wanted to see anyone is interested in discussing what percentage of power will be lost in transmission/transformation in a situation like this:Solar Plant in Space Gets Go-Aheadhttp://green.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/12/03/solar-plant-in-space-gets-go-ahead/?_r=1...
You have to like what you do. Many engineers enjoy what they do. Don't go to engineering school just for the money.
Regarding the "Have No Life" idea, I find I enjoy my work life, but find that when I am away from work, my interests are not the same as many other non-technical people I know...

On the humerus side, has anyone considered the possibility of wealthy people opening foreign bank accounts on Mars to avoid taxation?
I have managed installation of over 100 MW of utility scale ground mount PV. I am assuming here, that you are wanting to mount it on a roof, even though the images you have shown are for a ground mount system. This is because you had mentioned 6M high.
There are many companies that make...
I am taking the OSHA 30 course as a requirement of a job and came across some information regarding the danger of welding on materials that have had chlorinated solvents applied. Being someone who manages industrial construction projects, but often doesn't supervise welding operations, I am not...

E. A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, WITHOUT A WARRANT, MAY ARREST A PERSON

If you live around the Dc area, you will understand that regardless of whether or not you should be able to drive the speed limit in the left lane, it is still dangerous at many times because of other drivers!
To all who live or drive in Virginia:
A bill passed to increase the speed limit in virginia on rural interstate highways to 70 MPH from 65 MPH. This in itself is not bad, however consider the following:
In Virginia, driving 20 MPH or more above posted speed is reckless driving...
I am designing a stop system for a old diesel engine. The application I am using needs a pull type solenoid that can have a stroke of 9/16" - 1 1/2". it needs to have a return spring of at least 20 lbs. It needs to be continuous duty ( probably 2 coil).This will be used as a "engage to run"...
I am currently looking at a Tyco Electronics Multimode Relay MT. (Schrack division). I am wondering what it means in the description when it mentions CO contact configuration.
Is there a terminology for a relay that will be on for a set period of time when the power turns on and then shuts off until the power is turned off and back on?
