Hi Miss Kelly, Welcome to the club.
You look too young to have grandkids.

 

Hi Miss Kelly, Welcome to the club.
You look too young to have grandkids.

You silver tongued devil you.

Miss Kelly, feel free to explore the site. If you have questions about electronics in general this is a good place to come. If you just want to visit that is OK too, but you have fallen into a nest of nerds.

 

Thank you for the welcome. I borrowed a grandkid picture for my avatar.

 

Greetings from Sweden, I am here becuase I want to learn about electrical circuits.

 

You've come to the right place. Feel free to ask any questions, even if you feel they are silly or too simple. Flaming and trolling is not allowed on AAC. If you haven't done so please read our Terms of Service.

Thank you very much, and I do have a problem I need help solving, but I can't seem to start threads. Might it be because my post count is too small?

Keep your thread title under 20 characters - there is a bug in the system - see the sticky regarding the issue...

 

hello,
I reza, high school teacher, mechanical engineering
I am keen to make the sound system at home and join in this forum

 

Hi there, everyone. I'm a techie and wordsmith, ex-pat American presently living in Germany. I was led to this forum by a link in the forum of Linear Circuits, currently under way at Coursera.org, although I've known of All About Circuits for some time. What a great resource this is.

My hands-on experience with electronics extends as far as rebuilding and refurbishing computing hardware (macs and pcs), and I've spent many an hour in research laboratories where I did some simple stuff with LabView. I once created a shower of sparks by shorting out some video hardware on an iMac I was working on with the display half-off. Was dich nicht umbringt, macht dich stärker.

Welcome! By the way, I love your username!

 

Um...tiny problem...English only.
Sometimes we use different languages to make a joke, but in general, verwenden Sie Englisch.

Yeah, whoda thunkit?

Thanks for the welcome!

I've had a mania for name-puns as long as I can remember. Did you ever listen to Car Talk on NPR? Those guys were nuts for that sort of thing.

I have indeed! I always enjoyed that show

#12, I expect he is okay. It was just a proverb he was posting in German. He wasn't posting a question or anything

Regards,

Point taken. Electronics is not a very philosophical topic.

I'm a native-English speaker, and not fluent yet in German, and I was just making a joke about my experiences with high voltages and currents.

 

That's the best place to use a different language.

Don't worry. I wasn't getting tense about it. Just trying to be informative.

 

Maybe I can use you when my glossary of german technical terms fails me.

I understood eisgang & ausgang to be input & output, and if I remember correctly, i saw the word auftwickler to describe a wire pay-off machine.

I suppose it should read "Aufwickler" - however, I never heard this term in german. Must be something specific in civil engineering?).

 

You find very strange translations of foreign words on many schematics. First, there is the difference in thinking caused by having a different native tongue, then the translation to English sometimes obscures the meaning even more. You aren't alone in guessing what the original intent was.

I usually get along with Spanish translations because they are based in Latin roots, but Russian and Chinese tend to not translate very well.
