Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

... etc


For those who have/use IRC, my bot can help with these things too. Converting to/from AWG, resistance etc.


15:35:40-1/09/09| <RossW> !awg 4/0
15:35:40-1/09/09| <RossBot> 0000 (4/0) AWG wire is
0.166191 square inches (107.219553 square mm,
11.684019mm dia), 0.156501 ohms per Km Cu
(0.247623 Al)

15:36:50-1/09/09| <RossW> !awg 12
15:36:50-1/09/09| <RossBot> 12 AWG wire is 0.005129
square inches (3.308781 square mm, 2.052529mm
dia), 5.071355 ohms per Km Cu (8.024104 Al)

15:37:39-1/09/09| <RossW> !2awg 4
15:37:39-1/09/09| <RossBot> 4.000000 sq mm (0.006200
sq inch) wire is 11 AWG, 4.195000 ohms per Km Cu
(6.637500 Al)

it also can do your standard volts/ohms/amps/watts by taking any two and telling you all the others:

15:39:10-1/09/09| <RossW> !ohmslaw 400w 25.6v
15:39:10-1/09/09| <RossBot> 25.600 volts at 15.625 amps
through 1.638 ohms for 400.000 watts

and wind power, air density and a heap of other things. (And there's usually someone to chat to there too!)
