    Titan sub - audio released

    I wonder if it has to do with reverberation (in Wiki link) and that the VLF band of 1-100Hz travels for very long distances (2nd link)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_acoustics https://faculty.washington.edu/wilcock/files/PaperPDFs/wilcocketal_annrev_2014.pdf -AK2DM

    Are we about to get a repeat of the 2021 power crisis in Texas...

    Our heat pump goes into a defrost cycle to prevent buildup when it occasionally gets below freezing here. But the coldest lows I have endured are the mid 20's so I can't speak for performance issues below that. -AK2DM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It's the questions that drive us"...

    Does anyone know how this golf cart

    My Mavic Air 2 drone can follow a target via the video camera, I never have tried it though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0uH_NYCvY8 Looks like the golf caddy uses vision too. -AK2DM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It's the questions that drive us" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Hipot versus Isulation Resistance Test

    See pages 10-11 and 16 for HP and IR, slso some good safety/operator guidelines in there. It's been a few decades since I performed such tests. We used Slaughter units (now SCI?), I found it amusing that their tagline was 'Slaughter, The Pro Testers' Requirement of 500VAC for HP seems rather...
