I charges... its alright just without that power but which also has the volume controls as they tend to... I've been trying o think outside the box... So I question you veterans in tickering... Is there a way to... alternatives "jump star" the effect that the poser button would have... its all chines to be but from what I understrand is that a small wave of current is what what's it go on and off? or am I just wrong? hopeless even? any refrences or point me outto the right derection would be appreciate, I do not with for anyone to had out a freeby... though if you were... promise to send you some starbicks giftcards! lol... bribes work sometime right? either way... I am ready to gte down and dirty with my new temp controlled soddering iron... though maybe I should get one of those old circuit boards for kids they used to sell at radio shack... damn... I miss radio shak... OH and pci slot?? sory again I am pc guy and that's where my skill set though extensive... ends and starts... 7 progns.

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
