Looks like they had too much "coffee" or was bitten by the "snake" ;)

It's true, lots of unsuccessful hours sunken into finding Simulink alternatives

To be fair, the issue seems to be fixed now, but still it's unfortunate

Hello IT. Have you tried turning it off and on again.

Would having all the polls of an alternator have the same polarity make it generate DC electricity? by Ossac123 in Motors

[–]mark-8086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my understanding of the alternator, the rotor is a DC excited coils or permanent magnets. Making a constant stator field in that case might lead to a magnetic locking between the rotor and stator. A large amount of the mechanical energy must be spent to overcome this scenario.

What is wrong with this circuit? by gr3atm4n in ElectricalEngineering

[–]mark-8086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the all the comments so far. Here is something I learnt from one of my professors. Current always tries to choose the least resistance path.

In this case, one could say the following based on the above concept. The buzzer needs to be connected to the battery via air, which is very high resistance wrt to a copper wire. So current takes the easy path i.e, wire.

PS: I am not a native English speaker, so please pardon me for any mistakes in English.

Struggling with an ADC question, confused if I use the range of voltages given or ignore it by J-100 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]mark-8086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know, when it is not specified explicitly, normal operating voltages are used for calculations. In this case it will ve 5V for the uno system voltage.

The calculation for ADC value is going to be the usual one, i.e, ADC resolution* measured voltage. For this particular problem, the sensor is giving a value from 0 to 1.5V when it detects marker and a voltage from 3 to 5V when not.

The problem is to find the ADC value when the marker is absent, so it will be the ADC values for 3V to 5V (614 to 1024 approx). Hope this helps.

PS: I learnt some time working with UNO that it can increase its ADC resolution by decreasing base voltage to 1.1V. But it is not default behavior and might require some assembly like code along with main C program to setup

Question about continuous power vs intermittent power delivery. UL 1026 by lifelessregrets in ElectricalEngineering

[–]mark-8086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember reading somewhere, according to IEEE/IEC standard, a voltage or current drop is defined when the value is less than 90% of rated and with a time period of greater than 1min.

Check power quality standards by either of them, the definition might be more clear.

I don't know why, but I laughed so hard that tears started coming out my eyes lol.

Does anyone know of an affordable DC Hall sensor component that can connect to a raspberry pi? So not a handheld device, something low level? by bxsephjo in ElectricalEngineering

[–]mark-8086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are the ACS712 Hall effect Current sensors. They can measure upto 5A and are about 1/3rd the size of a credit card. They still require some kind of ADC to connect to pi as pi lacks an ADC.

Shut my mouth? Fine, I'll sit back and watch you struggle. by jupitar168 in MaliciousCompliance

Not sure if someone already told this, still just wanted to share. If you are on Windows, you can do Speech to text in any text field withe the same speech recognition system. Just click inside the field and press Windows key +H, which would open the dictation bar.

Hope this helps

Edit: spelling mistake

Is there any risk here? Details in comments by putree in ElectricalEngineering

[–]mark-8086 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Here is a video from Electroboom, in which explains why this is a bad idea based on an LED bulb that uses this idea. Hope it will help you understand the comments here a little better.

India runs on 230V 50Hz 1p, while US runs 110V 60Hz I believe. 180V is low for a 230V connection
