    DC power supply with DE-9 connection

    I have a photodiode/amplifier module, which has a D-sub connection for the power supply. The manufacturer sells a power supply, but it is out of my budget range, and the lab only has standard laboratory PSU's (+V,-V, gnd). Is there any connections so that I can use this module with my power...

    Connection between polynomials and groups

    Hey Everyone, I'm reading a paper by Claude LeBrun about exotic smoothness on manifolds and he is talking about a connection between polynomials and groups that I am not familiar with (or at least I think that's what he's talking about). He's creating a line bundle (which happens to be...

    Salt Water Connection: Bridging Circuits with Water for Rube Goldberg Projects

    I am trying to include salt water in my Rube Goldberg project. Instead of the wires that connect a motor simply being continuous, I want to bridge a connection through salt water. Meaning, but one wire, put both ends in the solution so that the connection still works. But its not working. Are...

    What is the significance of the Gamma-Relativity connection in modern physics?

    Hey, I was playing around with Gamma and plotted it as shown in the attachments. I noticed that the area swept out was similar to phi (in spherical coordinates.) So I started wondering if this could have any really relevance. So I looked at it more closely and was able to find length...

    The self-dual connection in LQG

    I'm reading Carlo Rovelli's book "Quantum Gravity". In the second chapter he writes down the Plebanski action by performing a decomposition of the complex Lorentz algebra into self-dual and anti-self dual parts, i.e. so(3, 1, C)=so(3, C)\oplus so(3, C). I sort of appreciate this fact and what it...
