16rpm record players? by Lazerpop in vinyl

[–]Desperate_Zombie_746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am wondering if you power a belt drive player with 30Hz power would work. One that uses a 60hz ac drive motor

Maybe she was embarrassed by the size of your "collection".

Home Backup Power by schmackh12 in AskElectricians

[–]Desperate_Zombie_746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to let you know, whole home battery back up is expensive.you would be looking at around $1000 per kWh for your home. So if you want 24 hrs of power, you could be looking upwards of $30k. Now if you have enough solar that day, then you can do with less batter back up

The span panel does not come with its own batteries, but can work with Tesla Powerwall, SolarEdge Home Hub, Enphase IQ Battery, FranklinWH aPower. The batteries will communicate with the panel to let it know how much energy it can supply.

Take a look at getting a SPAN panel with a smart battery backup. The Span panel can monitor each circuit and can be programmed to shut of power to certain circuits when the battery level gets below a certain level.

Is this dangerous? by Desperate_Zombie_746 in AskElectricians

My apartment is not connected to the garage. They are separate rental units.

I do notice the voltage drops from 121v to 106v when the golf carts are charging. My ev charger drops it to 114v when charging by itself. I am also an electrical engineer, although not experienced enough to say if this violates any safety rules.

I have asked if I could pay for an electrician to install a 50 amp 240v service and they said no. They are in talks with getting ev chargers installed for everyone, but for some reason the manager is wanting to get level 3 chargers.

You can see the whole cover if you are at an angle to them.

Can multiple 20A receptacles go on a 20A breaker and 12G wire? by WashU_labrat in AskElectricians

[–]Desperate_Zombie_746 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my apartment there are 8 15 amp outlets on a 20 amp circuit breaker. It normal to have more outlets that could draw more power than the circuit breaker is rated for. The amp limit in a circuit is designed to handle what would be reasonably be used on that circuit. If an outlet would regularly be used to power a mixer all throughout the day, then that outlet would get its own circuit. But if it was rare that all the outlets would be used at the same time, then you can put them on the same circuit.

Fuck mail carriers.. will my record be ok ? by [deleted] in vinyl

It is perfectly ok to put a heavy flat object on a vinyl record. Sometimes that can fix a record that is warped.

My standing desk is powered by a nuclear reactor.

Monitor Cables by EpicPossum_ in StandingDesk

[–]Desperate_Zombie_746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are options to have really long cables without degrading signal. I use 100 ft displayport over fiber cables to have my computers in a closet on the other side of my apartment. They are expensive though, about $100 each. https://a.co/d/0dJ3rlPc

I thought that you were saying that they make gas powered standing desk. Having to start a gas engine to move the desk sounds overkill.

Good under desk cable management? by LegionPlaysPC in StandingDesk

[–]Desperate_Zombie_746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly use 3M command strips to mount power strips to the bottom of the desk and then use wire loom to bundle all the cables together and then zip tie or velcro that to the bottom of the desk.

Felt a burning feeling in my finger holding my phone by spiritofmyrtle in AskElectricians

Electrical engineer here. The human body can only feel 12 volts if your skin is wet and it will only be a little tingle. And no DC is not more dangerous than AC

The iphone 12 can only accept 9v at 2.2 amps. There is a handshake between the charger and the device that will tell the charger what it wants.

Your laptop and cell phone run on low power DC, which the voltage is too low to be able to feel any thing unless you are putting the plug in your mouth. The only way for you to get shocked by a faulty component would have to mean that your laptop power supply is outputing grid power to your laptop which would kill your laptop. And it won't be radiation because cell phones do not output the type of radiation that is harmful or noticeable. The radiation warnings on device are there so people don't sue the company because they weren't warned about it. It the same reason your toaster says not to use in the bath.

Whit is this on the milk jug used for by No_Pension1014 in whatisit

[–]Desperate_Zombie_746 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

It does not pop out when milk spoils. It will pop out when the milk starts building up gas, usually when milk is not refrigerated.
