BTW I wasn't just kidding when I asked "what page." This doesn't sound familiar.

Then there was Vlad Vassilievsky. Cheers Phil Hobbs -- Dr Philip C D Hobbs Principal Consultant ElectroOptical Innovations LLC Optics, Electro-optics, Photonics, Analog Electronics 160 North State Road #203 Briarcliff Manor NY 10510 hobbs at electrooptical dot net http://electrooptical.net

I remember him, but didn't know he passed. I don't remember Virg Wall though.

Yeah, Vlad died suddenly a few years ago. Virg was an old-time NASA guy from the Apollo era, iirc. Certainly a 1960s aerospace dude.

well put! )

Jamie is another - along with NT and Tom Del Rosso - who really wouldn't be= missed. Like them - and perhaps to a marginally greater extent - he contri= butes nothing positive to the forum, and fails to appreciate other people's= positive contributions because he doesn't know enough to recognise their v= alue. --=20 Bill Sloman, Sydney

I'm not sure it's mentioned in AoE III, and the x-Chapters, which are almost finished, may not explicitly discus it. But it's certainly implied. For example, with zero load current, and in voltage equilibrium, there's still a high inductor current flowing back and forth each cycle, with an average value of zero. -- Thanks, - Win

I found a draft writeup from seven years ago, but I'm not sure if it's progressed further, I'll check at home. https://www.dropbox.com/s/fykemyom9phtq5g/Bus-Converter_PWR-671_DC-transformer_draft.pdf?dl=0 -- Thanks, - Win

Thanks that is something I never saw anywhere. Do you mean it's implied in the X-Chapters but not the main book or the 2nd Ed?
