hello... I'am Fandi from Indonesia.
Because the lack of books and the economy crisis present in Indonesia, I encountered problem in finding good reference.
can anybody tell me how generators supply electricity to houses? is there any online references?
Thanks before. :smile:

Here's a pointer to electric power generatation and distribution info at HowStuffWorks.com:

http://science.howstuffworks.com/power.htm

The whole HowStuffWorks.com website is a great source of information, and it's free (well, except for having to put up with all the advertisements!)
 
Thanks for the information...
i've checked the site... i really don't mind the adds.. the contents there are very helpful. and it looks like i can find almost everything here.

thanks again.

today's reminder :
Never forget that every high tech is a accumulation of the lowtech.
to master a high tech is to master many lowtechs.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
