Has anyone ever actually been unlucky enough to get solder splattering into their eye? I've had it hit my leg, hand, and face, but never in my eye.

I have an older window air conditioner that I'd like to hang on to for a few more years. The name plate says it is 220 VAC and since the power company went through and upgraded the distribution network and replaced HT and transformers my service which had been running 210-220 volts is now a steady 250 volts and my bill is up ~15%. The increased consumption is tied to how much I run the AC ...

I wired a 24VAC transformer to my Air Conditioner to lower the incoming line voltage to 220 from ~250 VAC. The old AC was pulling 2100+ watts worst-case and went to 1700, with the added transformer. Other observations: It uses ~1500 in the mornings when the differential between inside and out is close (all readings with the compressor running). During the day when the power was up ...

My water comes from a well. When the well was drilled I had only built my shop and so the well is now powered by my shop. The pressure tank and switch is also at the shop. Now that the house is built I need to power the well from the house. This is fine but I am not gonna move the pressure tank and the pump switch must be at the tank for proper operation. The problem I must address i...

I have been looking online but there seems to be, for a lot of the antennas, an assumption of prior knowledge. That I don't have. What I want to do is survey some of my property line. Mainly so I know about where it is because about 25% of the length is ambiguous. I can pay a surveyor to do the job but it would cost about 4 thousand bucks. Of course a proper survey would be more ...

The PID output would be presented to the public, so the public could better understand the various degrees of shutdown. There might be 50 shades of shutdown. Bret Cahill

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
