Interesting discussion on how they tested with a .276, considering they are tooling up to move the US military from a 5.56mm to a .277/6.8mm round in the new xm7 rifles. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.277_Fury

The equipment cost is getting closer and closer to just being able to remove your meter and go on your own. I keep watching them drop, and wonder at what point i'll just pull the trigger. Especially the last year, inverters and 48V b

Do you have any supporting evidence for that? becuase i have seen EV's power entire homes when the power is cut, which kind of sounds like the opposite. I have also seen most 'smart' chargers take demand into account when ch

Modern pickups have 8-10 speed transmissions. They do a better job of keeping you in the power band. In addtion, no heavy duty pickup comes with a manual anymore, but the ones that did years ago, de-tuned the engines in the manuals, so peo

These dams don’t have fish ladders, and retrofitting them would cost astronomical amounts more than they could recover by selling the power.

FERPA is older than HIPAA, but only covers education, so not as noticable for young adults. It's very strict on who can view and share student information, and how to opt out of directories, etc.

There is a DC long distance line from the Dalles, Oregon to LA that has been around since the early 70's. Its been upgraded a few times, and now runs 3GW of power over it. its very distinctive from the other lines nearby, since it only

One of the biggest use cases (for superconductors that meet their requirements) would be long distance power transmission, where as much as 30% of the power is lost over long distances. Essentially, (and very top level) you could produce 30

While it’s great to see in a car, this has been the standard technology for locomotives for 70 years. There are lots of pluses to not having a transmission, and always running your engine in a narrow, tuned, power band
