I have thought about similar set ups but not as complex. I would still want other computers in the house especially if I had kids oneday. Usually I have my main computer set up in the living room or my room as the entertainment system, depending on where I am living. The normal setup would be...
My apologies it was a false assumption, must have got the names mixed up for the stuff on the car battieries. I was certainly not expecting any type of oxidation or wethering to occur on a heatsink over a year so I came up with some half baked idea that maybe it was a result of a short which...
I came home from a vacation to find my computer conpletely dead, I am assuming it's lightning from major storms that rocked south ontario last week.
I have noticed that I have deposits of copper sulfate on my copper heat sink and cpu cooler made by zalman. I am wondering what would cause...
So I have this graphics card and I don't understand why its specs say "no" for 1080p support.
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5274435&CatId=3669
It says max resolution 2560x1600 and 1080p is only 1920x1080. I use a 32" LCD for my monitor and my...
I have uploaded an image.
I just need some one to help me start this problem. I cannot find any similar examples in my book.
I have drawn an FBD. I feel like it has something to do with components but can't figure out where to start. Do I need to rearrange the forces in the FBD or...
I would consider all of the things you listed as things that would make an engineer successful. I am working towards becoming an engineer eventually.
In my opinion being a successful engineer would be getting your degree, then the proper work experience and obtaining a P.Eng license. Then...
I'm picturing a inner tube for a bicycle tire or something similar...
Try 2 pieces of wood, like 1x2's or 2x4's cut them a couple inches long depending on how wide your tube is and clamp one on each side of the tube with carpentry clamps. Not permanent or pretty but effective.
Sorry, electricity only costs labout 8 or 9 cents a kw/h from Ontario Hydro. The rate they pay per kw/h with a 10 kw system or less is 80.2 for rooftop and 64.2 for ground mounted. It used to be 88 and they were going to change it to 55 so they must have settled on those numbers...
Artman, are you planning on testing out the transparent sticker?
If you do let me know how it works for you. My boss and I are planning on putting a 10 kw system on one of the companies properties. Were just waiting for the ontario micro fit application to pass. However they are saying the...
Well apparently there was a large flare last night as Brian M said. I was going to check the sky periodically for enhanced aurora borealis even tho I rarely see them in my area. Did anyone notice any unusual light display?
I "stumbledupon" this article this morning.
A battery that used radioisotopes and is powered by the decay of the radioactive material. Sounds like it would work. Is this legit? If so it seems like a pretty serious innovation. I'm sure this battery if developed for the public would have a...
I am researching ground source heat pumps, however I do not completely understand how they work.
I understand that a pump uses a small amount of electricity to pump heated ground water or an antifreeze solution through the a system of piping in the ground to transfer heat from the ground to a...
Google peltier cells. You can order them in a wide variety of sizes I have seen them about 1" x 1" on certain websites. There used for cooling cpu's. When you apply voltage to them one side gets cold and the other side gets hot. The interesting thing about them is you can apply heat to them...
Sounds interesting but what are the pros and cons to having a house made entirely of plastic products. What makes it better from a traditional wood/concrete structure?
I can't see a house like this ever passing building inspection in Ontario, our codes are pretty strict. Not sure what they are...
