Hi All, Some time ago I published a set of informal design rules of thumb from many industries that also apply to electrical engineering. Since it was a while ago and many likely missed it, I put the link below. This is an example of some of the unusual sources of information that are often found in my seminars and classes.
https://emcesd.com/tt2021/tt040621.htm The link will bring you to my Technical Tidbit of April 6, 2021 and a 16 minute video as well as a set of the slides. Just a word about me for those who do not know me well. I started my engineering education at age 10 resulting in me becoming a fully licensed engineer in the Radio and TV broadcast industry at the highest level of three at the time (First Class Commercial Radio Telepghone license). My first EMC problem solving came at about age 13 when the neighbors started complaining about my ham radio set. By age 15 I was doing consulting work for nearby police departments on wire taps and lie detectors. At ag 16 I built a Tesla coil powered by a pair of 811A high power short wave transmitting tubes. It developed about 600 watts of power at 300 kHz and generated fields of about 10,000-20,000 Volts/meter.(I am still here and my kids had two arms, two legs, and one head, but at least I don't get big and green when upset.) It pretty much took out radio/TV services in my neighborhood and brought the Feds to my house, but that is another story. So here I am (will be 77 in March) still doing engineering full time (and incorporating all that experience in my classes). Along the way I studied medicine as a hobby reading many thousands of pages of published research over the years. Currently I am in the top 6/10th of one % of all athletes worldwide of all ages for mileage run per year which is for me 3,000+ miles per year, a large portion of it at 110-115 degrees F in the Nevada desert! I can do this by applying my engineering knowledge of thermodynamics to running in the desert. An hour or two at 115F running in the desert is not stressful to m3! I design my own hydration drinks with the salt content a function of the dew point temperature. Give me a call if you are a runner! BTW, my next design troubleshooting class is in early March, Contact me if you are interested.
