   If its such a lousy t shirt then why are you trying to sell it?

John galt you want some news how about US electric companies robbing you and I 36% on cfl's and induction motors
user HD [sm expose thread] and user omega1[ imhoteps thread]   
Chet   ps the following is from HD on his SM expose thread post 200

I will be away from this thread for a little while because I'm doing some research for Steve Windisch (Jibbguy) to correct some errors that were posted in the article he wrote on CFL lamps and power factor.

Someone told him capacitors were the way to correct the leading phase angle caused by CFLs. My bench tests showed that inductance was needed in series with the lamps to correct the 0.63 phase angle lead on 14 watt CFLs sold in the US.

Apparently the utilities are ripping us off as much as 36% for electricity used on these lamps because they charge for apparent power (VA) rather than real power..

His article is posted at the "imhotep" site referenced in post #85.

My lab tests with scope shots are cited in post #101 at that site. I believe Steve is now correcting the article, which erroneously advises capacitors across the lamps. The lamps already have a leading phase angle, more capacitance aggravates the situation.

I will be working in the lab on this issue and won't have too much time to post.

Will answer any questions etc, when I'm back, have fun.

Regards....HD

But what about the proof? Where is the "proof" of your claim? It is an equally reasonable assumption, but it has no more weight than AQ's.

Proof for change in torque equation: changing the length of the moment arm changes the torque as torque is a function of length and weight (force)...

Proof for change in energy equation: any movement is done in opposition to some form of friction, resulting in lost energy. Formulas and calculations for energy systems comes from centuries of r&d, experimentation, confirmation, and application.

When something works every time it is used, it's obviously correct. Until some anomaly occurrs that defies our understanding of energy, what we "know" will remain universally accepted.


@John Galt

Love the shirt! I didn't donate money (only time), but I still want one!


@Everyone

What happened to Exx? And Shakey?

Is this thing over?

Anticlimactic, to say the least...
