    Electrical A DIY Electronic Speed Control ? is that viable?

    A "DIY" Electronic Speed Control ? is that viable? The concept of 3-stage brushless motors does seem very simple to me. Simply power the 3 different stages at different times, use 2 at the same time and the 3rd as a magnetic sensor. When the sensor goes on you flip the stages, one goes off and...

    Why do electronic display screens make my vision blurry?

    what is intrinsically different about the light coming from electronic display screens vs the light everywhere else (light from the environment)? perhaps.. the brightness? but that shouldn't cause blurry vision. this deals with focuses.. anyone have any suggestions as to why this might be?
