My Hitachi VC-6025 2-channel DSO that I bought around 1990 has served me well for the past 30 years. It uses a CRT and can operate as analog or DSO. I...

Make a wax or plastic casting of the bore, and examine that?

Motor start capacitors are electrolytic, and after 30 years the electrolyte may dry out. If it has not been used in a long time, the aluminum oxide dielectric...

One sore point with me, that I will mention again,is that many thread titles are devoid of meaning, or badly misspelled, so that they effectively hide...

I have not been doing much machining lately, and instead have had other projects that usually involve some creativity and knowledge of mechanical engineering,...

It might be possible to remove the capacitors and simply connect the third phase from the VFD to the run winding. You should first measure the current...

Perhaps a more obscure robot was "Thinko", from the movie "Sex Kittens Go To College" (1960), with Mamie Van Doren..

A lesson to be learned is that any observation or measurement of an object will affect that object. For macroscopic objects and things as small as bacteria...

Kinetic energy of an object is defined by the formula

E = 0.5 * m * v ^2.

So this differs from the Einstein mass/energy equivalence...

I have a TENS unit, and I begin to get a tingling sensation at about 10 mA, and usually use 20-30 mA for therapeutic reasons. Of course, that was with...

John has had a rather hard life. I won't go into details, but his father died when he was young, and his mother died in his arms. He really doesn't have...

Yeah, John is a one man wrecking machine. Just yesterday he stepped on and broke a carpenter's level, and he has broken a couple string trimmers, a Ryobi...

What you want is essentially a "ring counter", which is a shift register composed of flip-flops. A CD4017 or 74HCT4017 decade counter will also...

I would suggest using a 20 amp breaker and #12 AWG wire. The single phase current will be roughly twice (actually 1.7) times that of the 3 phase outputs...
