True, but even GaN will eventually exceed that, and there are other applications that will benefit.

It's not, because I never argued against doing it. Oc asked "what's not to like?", and I gave an opposing perspective. Successful negotiation usually requires understanding what you're asking the other side to compr

It's not a detail. It's a more complete picture. Both of your comments are different slices of the same pie. I don't see anything written above that pertains specifically to any type of FET. Your last paragraph is a new topic

You're conflating different things. People can already choose between public, private, and homeschool. The "credit" is a public resource allocated for a certain purpose under certain conditions. A union doesn't unilatera

You're talking about different things. A slow FET has a slow rise time. It spends more time crossing through the inefficient region between fully off and fully on. Switching frequency is how often you cross in one direction. Up to a po

It's the US Space and Rocket Center for anyone looking it up. The vertical rocket is a replica. The sideways one is real, or mostly real. It's suspended pretty high up so you can walk below it. They host a weekly Oktoberfest event

C# is a well-regarded choice for the application layer in the engineering software world. You'd need a good reason not to choose it.

I briefly worked in one of the statistically worst states for bicycle safety, but I was still surprised to learn how many older people fantasized about running over cyclists, or had a "they probably deserved it" attitude whenever

You made your class educationally worse and blame the students because you didn't ask for a photo of their work?

Imagine learning to code again. You're shown one for loop, a class header file, and a cartoon of a data structure. You write programs by hand on paper, submit them, and never get any feedback. And you're forbidden from looking at

The real reason is to stimulate the national electrification capability by increasing the demand. This article is just typical marketing.

That's exactly it. Residential service is naturally the most expensive to operate. National regulations impose price caps on residential. But Texas is the only state that isn't subject to those rules because they're not synch

I didn't really understand IEEE until I realized that they're more of an academic society than a professional society, despite what their marketing suggests. The academia mill is a weird way to fund training engineers for industry

I don't know about DRM. Be careful when joining batteries in parallel. You might not get full performance without the factory procedure for mating the battery and BMS together. Datasheets aren't enough to fully match cells, so the

I have no idea about commercial e-bike BMS specifically. But in general, some BMS can, while others won't but maybe should because replacing cells can reduce the safety of the product. It depends on a combination of the cells, BMS, cha

From a user perspective, it protects you from the battery (by protecting the battery), increases the performance and longevity, and informs you about the state of charge. It connects to the battery at the cell terminals and to temperature s

When I worked in aerospace, there was a big, one-of-a-kind piece of metal where the fabricators had drilled a bunch of rivet holes in the wrong places. The structural engineers had to figure out if they could still use it. There's bugs

There's nothing deficient about transmission lines or lumped element models for answering the riddle. Distributed element models of transmission lines [1] clearly show a straight line path directly from the battery to the bulb without
