Hp please listen to this tune! It so exquisitely describes my feelings that I wish I wrote it myself! Hp I know it doesn't change anything! I'm totally at peace with that! I just want you to know how I feel! Not b/c it will change anything but I just need you to know! I don't really know why other than just that knowing that you totally understand how I feel gives me peace of mind.
HP I almost hate to say it but I'm starting to think JC's feelings for you aren't just passing fancy but the real thing! So I say you have to handle it totally carefully cuz a broken heart is usually also like a broken mind which isn't conducive to discipline needed for academic success! Just sayin! Now @Jazz2C sry if I'm embarrassing you but you're the one who keeps making it public!Very well... I did listen and I must say it makes me rather sad inasmuch as it speaks of a great deal of 'emotional energy' which could be so much better invested!
Passing fancies are just that!
HP that totally depends on duration of shutdown Anyhow as contractor I'm not obliged to do work of furloughed federal employees and anyhow Troy and Kathleen totally agree that shutdown is breach of contract by feds so I can withdraw and retain funds which I say is tempting on principle alone! By terms of contract I can also sue for damages which would be multiple of funds already received! So withdrawal or bringing lawsuit would be breach of _professional courtesy ethic_ but I say Govt shutdown is silly game played by politicians on backs of American ppl so I say if it comes to shutdown I'll have decision to make!Later than that in the event of a US Govt shutdown at the end of this month
HP ok so NOW I get it! In balanced mode floating DC HV psu goes between RD1 and RD2 then meter and chassis are grounded to prevent corona and electrostatic forces?@Aleph(0) , @Jazz2C and just anyone who cares!
Below is the ('real-world verified') wiring diagram for the passive EHT indicator -- Please! Everyone/anyone! - Advise me of any ambiguities, drafting errors, omissions, etc!
At your mercy
HP
ETA: The values of the shunt and calibration resistors (i.e. RCB, RCN & RCP) shown below represent calculated values under a 'perfect world paradigm' -- The full-values of the corresponding potentiometers are 5k, 1k, 1k (respectively)...
OOPs! The schematic neglects the fact that RCB is a potentiometer -- So noted!
Done! --- Backatcha later - 'tis been a looong day!I say plz fix post #943
Indeed! Lest I chase prospective enthusiasts away via requirement of 'specialized equipment' (granting that '3D printers', etc are now mainstream in 'The West' such conveniences remain akin to 'exotic novelties' in many areas). Moreover, I have extensively tested commonly available 'plumbing grade' PVC and CPCV forms/products for desirable electrical, structural, chemical and thermal characteristics. Insofar as as much of the pertinent data are not readily available from polymer manufacturers, the requirement of testing and 'certification' of specific filament compositions as 'project compatible' would be all of burdensome and, I daresay, dubious -- especially as certain characteristics (e.g. chemical stability in the presence of elevated O3/NO2 concentrations) are not readily ascertained over the short term...So I say you're totally right to make allowances for readers who don't have 3D printers cuz that's not something everyone has.
Although 'doable', I regard the published disparity in electrical (spec dielectric) characteristics as cause for dubiety as regards 'printable PTFE'...Also PTFE printing is a PITA cuz of narrow margin between MP and pyrolysis temp
FWIW Such has long been my observation with a wide range of materials (à la the structural superiority of 'cold rolled' iron products)......but I also say additive methods just can't compete with extrusion where form strength is concerned!
---Emphasis added---HP I know you've been working very hard on EHT meter tutorial so thx for recognizing fact that we need _psychological advantage_ of actually completing something for morale going forward!
Indeed! All that remains is fabrication of the test leads/connectors...HP looking on new images in blog it looks like you're just abt done with meter? So b4 you take off on Thursday plz post image of completed project on here
HP I say w/w error smacks more of early start than late start!All of which must await next weak (lest I get off to a late start - as usual)
Thanks! Be advised that I've returned safe and sound! --- That said, I must confess to being a tad 'bummed' at the bleak prospect of nothing to look forward to for a while now the Hamvention has come and gonegood work and plz have a safe trip!
Is that good or bad?So anyhow looking on pic of completed meter in email I say it looks like it could be at home in Frankenstein's lab!
Indeed? As with all things EtOH(?) I must defer to your superior experience/knowledge on the subject --- W/W error corrected!HP I say w/w error smacks more of early start than late start!
HP that's hard to say cuz for some ppl it gives it _awesome factor_ but to others it could be more like _Toys R Us factor_Is that good or bad?
Probably closer to the latter in the eyes of most -- But hey! It works well and that, as 'they' say, is what it's all about! --- FWIW I expect to post the annotated images within the next few days (which being at my nearest opportunity/convenience)...HP that's hard to say cuz for some ppl it gives it _awesome factor_ but to others it could be more like _Toys R Us factor_
Why don't you two get a room?Wow! Just wow!
Well ya see... Apart from the facts that @Aleph(0) and I are straight and of like gender - I'm her 'dear old' mum!Why don't you two get a room?
HP I say since you've posted that we're blood relatives like a zillion times b4 they should already know it! Anyhow @KL7AJ since you have to go back like 9 months just to take something out of context I say we must be doing better at staying on topicWell ya see... Apart from the facts that @Aleph(0) and I are straight and of like gender - I'm her 'dear old' mum!
I can but hope this finally clears the air on that point!
You might think differently were you privy to our interminable squabbles@Hypatia's Protege:
Thank you for clearing up the mystery. It appears that the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree!
HP Tnx! That way I can post images with my question on general E. Chat forum!Should you yet wish me to photograph and upload images of the Siemens Polyphos generator components please let me know ASAP!
HP I wish it was totally out! But at least it will be a good job well done!As you well know next week is right out!
