[edit] Electrical Breakdown

Very nice edit Bert!! I actually enjoyed reading it and it flows very well. Some good extra info also. well done!Light current 04:48, 8 August 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Solarization

I have taken the liberty of creating a new article for Solarization as it seems to be sufficently different from Solarisation to justify this. I have also cross linked them to assist navigation. Unfortunately this means that your edit only appears against the Solarisation article at present but further additions to Solarization would be welcome. Velela 19:15, 31 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Coin shrinking

Bert, Ive sent you a private email at your Stoneridge email address re coin shrinking. Please have look!--Light current 00:24, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dielectric absorption

Could you please create an article about the dielectric absorption, which you put an information into Supercapacitor? I would like to learn what it means ;-) --Zureks 13:52, 14 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Capacitance

Why did you remove the following texts from capacitance?

It is instructive to use the farad to test the claim that all units can be reduced to the SI minima of kilograms, meters, seconds, and coulombs. For our purposes, we start with the equations W = QV and Q = CV, whence the units of capacitance (C) are those of Q squared over W (work). Now, Q squared is measured in coulombs squared (fundamental SI units), while W is measured in newton-meters, with one newton equating to one kilogram-meter per second squared, whence the unis of W are kilogram-meters squared per second squared. Dividing through, one finds that the farad is equivalent to one coulomb squared-second squared per kilogram-meter squared in base SI units.--Doktor Who 13:31, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Maxwell's equation combining Ampere's law with the displacement current concept is given as curl H = dD/dt + J, where, in keeping with notational stricture, curl is emboldened because it is a vector operator. (Integrating both sides, the integral of curl H can be replaced—courtesy of Stokes's theorem—with the integral of H ● dl over a closed contour, thus demonstrating the interconnection with Ampere's formulation.)

I understand that some heavy improvement is needed, but deletion is too drastic. --Doktor Who 13:41, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I apparently accidentally edited an earlier copy of the article, which deleted some of the later text. Sorry about that - I've reinserted the text. I agree that it does add value. Sorry about the error... Bert 01:34, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind, that happens sometimes (see the article electric guitar, I'm not going to fix it cos I'm sure that a bot would revert me, eheh); thx for quick edit.--Doktor Who 09:00, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Electric shock

Thanks for the link. I'm actually an EE myself, but, like most recently minted EEs, I have precious little experience with power engineering. I asked the question due to my being the victim of some power-related negligence (to the tune of 56 V). I'm still alive, thankfully, but I worry about future victims. I don't know whether it was AC or DC; I suppose I should have asked the electrician. Calbaer 06:09, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

You're quite welcome - work (and play) safely! Bert 22:12, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
