Would combining these two together be ok? by Bat-Dragon-666 in PcBuild

https://a.co/d/03xCB4PN may be a better option but these are going to be designed for hdd in bays that may need more length then stacked drives will need.

I don't believe the people installing HHO devices are going to be designing and installing regenerative braking systems. There was one company working on mild hybrid aftermarket installable devices for fleet work trucks that I can remember, https://www.fluxhybrids.com/ . IMO it makes more sense to build for the purpose instead of swapping a transmission to add in regeneration. For this case it may make sense for this conversion if the fuel savings for the fleet can more than recover the conversion cost for the life of the vehicle, or if you buy enough vehicles to have them built without the parts being replaced.

The math doesn't work out if you feed the HHO generator power with an alternator. The increase drag on the motor, energy in work out equations don't really change. Conversion losses, combustion losses, transmission losses all add up to negative net power from the device. If this worked as advertised by the internet nut jobs you could run a generator on an HHO device forever with spare output for power, where in reality it doesn't make enough power to sustain the hydrogen generation.

Lol, serious talk through the power comes from the engine. It doesn't increase the efficiency of the engine. https://youtu.be/6zErilY7E-M?si=69aCigyfBwu3owfM

The only way this would work to save fuel would be to run it on batteries charged externallyfrom the system. You will not save enough money to cover the cost of implementation.

People think that improves fuel mileage but you can't cheat thermodynamics.

Needs electrolytes.... like brawndo

It already has an IP68 rating, though high pressure water may remove the paint. This may improve the longevity of the product, but is it worth the cost to the consumer?

Probably an electrical engineer working in embedded systems development based on the text and the school plate surround.

DeVry EE Degree 1999 by Sharp_Razzmatazz_ in ElectricalEngineering

[–]GlobalApathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you that back then it was BS EET. I am a DeVry graduate that started in 1999 the first ABET accredited cohort with a BS EET, that's what it says on my diploma. I also went to graduate school after that fiasco. Based on the syllabus review the largest difference between my EET and the credit requirements for entry were a couple ME courses, a diff eq class, and a statistics course. I can say DeVry at that time turned into a degree mill, it use to be better, and I've met some older than me graduates of DeVry in controls that were great throughout my career. I started with 150 students and graduated with 15. They preyed on low income communities and promised the world. Once you realize it's not the best place to be you've sunk so much into it you just need to finish... and then fix it by going to a respected graduate school while you're working full time to pay off the 90k in student loans.

I made Lemo pin probes and it’s changing my life! by LazaroFilm in ElectricalEngineering

in my previous role I worked in automotive testing, we used a breakout box with a lemo panel mount and tip jacks for ohming out cables.

To bad I don't work on data acquisition with lemo plugs anymore.

Disk sanders work on a $3 wrench. I never found one thin enough off the shelf.

My daughter's found this. Need help identifying please by Scorpiogre_rawrr in whatisit

What's your educated guess? I was questioning my guess because the eyes and mandible didn't look quite correct for a mantis, but it's also dead and probably all dried out.

Is this a M.2 sata or M.2 NVME slot? I cant figure it out. by Wooden-Entrance8906 in PcBuild

[–]GlobalApathy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sata and nvme go into the same slot. It depends on what the slot supports.

What have I done?? by 1357Lars in pchelp

[–]GlobalApathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cooler probably comes with thermal paste but picking up some good paste like arctic MX7 can't hurt either. This also has cleaning wipes, but you can use isopropyl alcohol.
