It features prominently in the last part of the 1995 movie GoldenEye. At that that time the crash was fiction, but fiction became in some →
Found some broken LED christmas lights (operated originally from 24V transformer) and a suitable spare switch mode power supply (36-72V to 24V). Then I got an idea to combine them to an experimental PoE Christmas light project. Circuit diagram: The circuit operation: Initially circuit presents around 23 kohms impedance when low voltage is on line →

Power lines, household wiring, and any device that uses electricity can generate ELF radiation. How much electromagnetic radiation you are exposed to depends on the strength of the electromagnetic field, your →
Coaxial cables are measured by impedance. The most common impedance values are 50 ohms and 75 ohms. different cables. 50 ohms is most often used for radio transmitting and receiving applications. 75 Ohm is primary used for video and audio. 75 Ohm cables are the standard coax cable you find everywhere inside your home and →
