pushed, relay K2 cannot energize. This is a failsafe feature. Relay K2 and K4 must never energize at the same time. If they did, the battery pack would be shorted to ground through resistors R1 and R2. A wasteful use of power, at least. And some cherry red resistors Blown battery fuses, more likely. Ergonometry is the science of fitting humans to objects and machines. On the surface, the more natural, or easy, or intuitive you can use something, the more you'll like it and the better you'll...

Hydro Basics
Hydroelectric power potential depends of the basic physics of falling water. While the concepts of head, flow, and pressure may seem esoteric, they are actually simple. Where does the water pressure come from Pressure is generated by the weight of water due to a difference in elevation. Figure 1 shows that the 62.4 pound weight of a cubic foot of water exerts 0.433 pounds of pressure on one square inch. This means that for every foot of elevation, the static pressure increases 0.433 pounds per...

Solar Power From Naps
Tumbler Technologies is proud to announce the new AC Genius line of compact inverters. Now you can have AC power wherever you need it by simply attaching the AC Genius to 12vDC. 24vDC input models are also available. The AC Genius inverters have a low-battery warning and shut-off to prevent complete discharge of your car's battery. They also contain an on off switch which controls the DC input. Thus you can leave the inverter connected to your battery, and simply switch the unit off when not in...

From the previous section, you can see that 100 feet of elevation will produce a pressure of 100 feet x 0.433 psi ft or 43.3 psi.

I would like to know more about good radio listening. We live in rural Alaska where there is no TV reception without a dish. We have no dish have lived w o TV for 18 years . We used to love radio, but the inverter kills that too. Before the inverter we had a small radio booster with a ground and antenna that would bring in radio. Some of the suggestions I've heard are 1. coax -100' to bare telephone wire amp good ground 2. giant 320' loop 3. DC rod antenna with 100' coax. Would any of your...
