I moved to Kansas from Arkansas when my father got a job at the Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant in Desoto Kansas. Now that plant will be making Batteries for electric autos. I wish my dad was still alive to see this.
Panasonic has announced it will begin building its EV battery
AI Thread Summary
Panasonic has announced plans to build a new facility in DeSoto, Kansas, to produce cylindrical Li-ion batteries for electric vehicles, with mass production expected to start by March 2025. The decision to locate the plant in Kansas is believed to be influenced by the state's governor, who actively promoted the initiative. The site is likely chosen for its favorable transportation infrastructure, including rail access. The investment in the plant is significant, amounting to $4 billion. This development marks a notable shift in the region's industrial focus towards electric vehicle technology.
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker.
I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test.
I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Hi Guys
We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns.
What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far.
Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space:
Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things:
This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
