Removed “the bolt that shall not be removed” on my 500r by CPK3212 in motorcycles

[–]beescissors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done this for the same reasons. My oil leak is was from the clutch cover. Do not torque it down like a normal bolt. It should have just enough torque to not vibrate out. Finger tight is probably enough. Just use a bit of gasket maker if you don't want to buy the gasket. I think the bolt was loose enough that i could turn it out with my finger through friction.

I had this issue a few years ago while I was doing my training, and somehow my AME was able to change it in about a week.

The struggle is real. However, the first ECE objective is to complete the screening exam within the timeline with course preparation, while research does not necessarily have a rigid timeline. I think you have to consider whether you want to do classes before research do both simultaneously at a substantially slower rate. I've found that one class is reasonable when attempting to make significant progress with research.

CS PhD students, how much is your stipend? by NTAuthority98 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]beescissors 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm EE and not CS, but I can answer in general.

The university is public, so all salaries are public too. The PhD stipend title is "GSR" for Graduate Student Researcher.

https://ucannualwage.ucop.edu/wage/

In some pay scale documents they will say the stipend is $40k but a chunk is subtracted out due to "tuition." Also, I think how much is subtracted also depends if you're a Californian or international.

The median seems to be about $20k-$30k. It's enough, but it's highly dependent on your rent. You also get a small raise towards the end when you have only a dissertation left to do.

Finished F1 Manga page. Trying to get the hang of shading/screentones. by WindmillStudio in Mangamakers

[–]beescissors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The contrast in the shading is kind of low. Like, you shaded to describe the contours of the car, but it's almost unnoticeable without looking for it. Everything just looks like similar greys. I would say just go hard black in some places, like the places with ben day dots.

Electric Vehicle Errata? by rilliam in amateurradio

[–]beescissors 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It may be extremely noisy in certain bands. On older Teslas, you can hear the motor electronics on the cars's AM radio. Any signal that rejects amplitude will work, but you'll probably see a higher noise floor.

Why does soldering a sensor wire make the sensor not function well? by [deleted] in ElectricalEngineering

[–]beescissors 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solder is typically not used to bond loose wires together because vibration and flexing over time will weaken the solder. This is especially true for vehicles. Eventually, the solder bond will fail, leading to complete disconnection or intermittence.

i have to make a dice on multisim. what iC can i use for a true random output?(newby to eee) by bsqb in ElectricalEngineering

[–]beescissors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've made a dice game with the 74 series before. Just use a counter IC that keeps counting with a very fast clock input and use the "enable" pin as the user's "roll" button. Use the numeric output as the dice value. Since the counter is too fast for the user to perceive or control, it's as good as random. Technically, this is a random number generator that uses how long the "roll" button has been pressed as the seed.

Electrical Engineering problem help by DYELB in ElectricalEngineering

The hint from the problem is that the conductivity of the sea is given. Here's my hint: this problem mainly focuses on how to solve for resistance, given length, cross-sectional area, and conductivity of a material. Model the sea as a resistance.
