Awhile ago I complained about the USB micro connector that my tablet uses to charge, since it's a pain in the ass to align (at my age) and easy to destroy the tablet's jack. Well it seems there's a solution for it: Magnetic Type-C Micro USB Fast Charging Cable. They aren't cheap, $7 each from a US supplier on EBAY, $4 from China, but may just be the answer I was looking for. I got o...

After 50 - 75 km driving the ignition system starts to fail. Pull over and wait 2 minutes and then another 50 km is possible _without lights_. It's hard to imagine anything cooling off in just 2 minutes. There must be some thresh hold where the rectifier or voltage regulator is really sensitive to even small changes in temps. Bret Cahill

During the late 19th - 20th Centuries every inventor seemed to be looking for a clever dual purpose that might simplify things, reduce the number of parts and materials. Some were quite good, i.e., using the rim of the wheel as a braking surface. Today it's different. You aren't taken seriously unless every task has it's own dedicated component, i.e., disk brakes on bicycles w

HI guys, I have attempted a repair on an FM transmitter. I replaced TR2,(shorted) VR1,(10.7 V output, VR1 is a SMD L78L09), and R4, it looked overheated, measured OK. I fired it up and then found the output Mosfet (F1)shorted and VR1 with an output of 11.2V. So I replaced the Mosfet and the L78L09. The unit works, output is good. However, the 9 volt regulator again has 11.2 v o...

Doing a home project, I need to cut some aluminum. It's a strip 1/20" thick, 2" wide. I have to cut it in two, that is, a straight 2" cut. Should I seek a specialized handsaw for this job? Or a bolt cutter, or some such. Suggestions? I have minimal metal shop experience, but figure in a group of engineers, there ought to be a few metal benders - -- Rich

Power supplies that take AC line power, rectify it to DC and then use a DC-DC converter to generate whatever output is desired seem fairly common. Those that I've dissected don't seem to have any inductors between the caps and the AC line. What's the power factor in such a setup? It's clearly not zero, because some power gets to the load, but all the AC line sees is a pure reactance, unles...
