This means a thousand volts and an amp is the same power as a thousand amps and a volt. These take advantage of a basic fact of electricity: Volts times Amperes =Power. These are kind of an unsung technology, probably as important as the internal combustion engine and arguably much more important than the personal computer, because if it wasn’t for the transformer, almost none of us would have one of them, but how many people understand what they do? It’s not a super-big one, those run in the millions of Volt Amperes, sit behind barbwire topped cyclone fences, hum menacingly and power entire neighborhoods.Īll due respect though: if this fell on you from almost any height, they would probably bury you in an envelope after a great deal of mopping. It’s a big one: 333,000 VA, or 3,330 typical projection lamps in our way of thinking. This is a transformer we have in our tested equipment cage here at BNL. Brookhaven National Laboratories, Upton, New York Posted by Steve Klare (Member # 12) on September 29, 2015, 12:08 PM: I should have the Eumig back together today for tonight's show yay! Most of the cakes were baked by the children. This mornings picture of our Mayor at the MacMillan Cancer Support coffee morning where we announced the results of our cake baking had raised £100 for it on Monday. Yep I thought after it may be better settled in General chat. Posted by Lee Mannering (Member # 728) on September 29, 2015, 07:16 AM: Zoe trying out some of the stuff on sale. Taken two days ago when we went to a local hardware store. Posted by Graham Ritchie (Member # 559) on September 28, 2015, 02:40 PM: It's a chance for all of us to see pictures from all over the world, maybe every day. This is probably a better General Yak, but It's a great idea. I understand what you are saying, Panayotis. Posted by Steve Klare (Member # 12) on September 28, 2015, 01:14 PM: Let us not stray from the purposes of our forum! Although It is still there, probably was a hundred years ago and just may be a hundred years from now too! It's a slight cheat: I shot the picture on Saturday. This is maybe 200 feet from a tidal harbor on our North Shore. Our sandy soil is friendly to it and apparently there are many acres of it scattered all over Long Island. This is the only species of cactus that grows wild East of the Mississippi in North America. It's entirely possible that a few months from now this ornery little patch will spend a couple of weeks buried in snow two feet deep, and come through it no worse than slightly wilted! It's fascinating stuff: about two years ago we were out getting some fresh air and noticed this and I was shocked to find out even here where it snows and can dip down to Zero ( Farenheight!) more than once a winter we have Cactus! This is a patch of wild Prickly Pear Cactus at a nature preserve not very far from home. This idea is up there with "What Films did you Watch Last Night", Lee! I think we will enjoy it here a long time. Posted by Steve Klare (Member # 12) on September 28, 2015, 09:57 AM: Today 30 minutes strip cleaning my favourite Eumig. Another I vacate has an enjoyable thread which can be pretty random titled 'Your today in pictures' where users post photos of something they captured of interest today, everything from landscapes, pets or Eumig's. One thing I particularly enjoy are images like most of us by nature of this forum. Posted by Lee Mannering (Member # 728) on September 28, 2015, 07:08 AM:
