But your peak isn't 9.8v, your peak-to-peak is 9.8v. You still need to divide by two.

You seem to think that owners of a company should not get compensation for their investment. It is rather obvious that you have never owned a business. They don't last very long if all they do is lose money. Making a profit on your investment is not greed, it is the only way to keep a...

Would that it were so simple. The RMS (DC equivalent) value of a sinusoidal AC waveform is 70.7% of half of the peak-to-peak voltage. This is because you also have parts of your waveform that are much less than the peak. So, half of 9.8V is 4.9V, and the RMS voltage is 4.9*0.707=3.5V. Now...

I bought some really good Orgeat a few weeks ago while on the eclipse trip, so I opened it last night and made a couple of Mai-Tai cocktails with it. Shaken, not stirred. They were excellent!

We just keep taking a stab at it.

This was bonkers years ago. I'm here for the party!

Your joke keeps needling at me.

Yeah, we should get back to wrenching each others' guts with poor puns.

We really knead a better topic....

I think I'll keep that joke in my pocket!

And to be honest, the yeast they could do is leaven the situation with better jokes.

All I saw was a bunch of crusty jokes.

And I was posting here and there during my trip, but did not care to get into any details about anything technical. You are always free to bite the hands with food in them, but don't be surprised when they quit feeding. You are also always free to study the math and do your own calculations...

I don't recall seeing any real details of your test setup, or even what goals you wanted to accomplish. You basically jumped from using a three-phase motor to some unknown gravity test. All I saw was a comment that something moved very slowly when the coils were shorted. That makes sense, but...

It is possible that other people have their own lives going on and can't always respond on your schedule. For example, my wife and I drove 2,000 miles last week to see the eclipse from a great vantage point in Texas.
