BMW’s iX3 is the company’s first normal-looking all-electric car | 25 Amp Circuit Breaker

Point is, there are already pretty well established and widely accepted methods for uniform heating. Why re-invent the wheel AND sacrifice safety?

I know this goes against what many of you have been told and understood your entire career, but take a deep breath and read on.

I’m not going to argue with your statement, it just seems funny to me that someone would tens of thousands on an Electric Car but still be using a Gas lawnmower!:)

Video capture is an area where the Sony A33′s translucent mirror technology makes a huge difference relative to pretty any other SLR currently on the market, and relative to even fast-focusing SLDs. Every other interchangeable-lens camera currently on the market either doesn’t autofocus at all when recording videos, or has to resort to slower and/or more obtrusive contrast-detect focusing. Because the Sony A33′s phase-detect AF system is always looking at the subject, fast autofocus during video recording is no problem.

The rear seats are nearly as roomy as the fronts , which is an incredible achievement for such a compact car. Never did the kids knee my seatback.

Our heat pump works in conjunction with a gas furnace for the days when it drops below maybe 35f outside

The Sweep Panorama modes create lengthy panoramic images with a single sweep over the scene, and do a good job of automatically correcting for uneven panning, although they do sometimes show stairstepping in nearby subjects. The 3D variant is particularly unusual, in that it calculates separate left and right-eye views by comparing the positions of subjects as seen by the left and right sides of the lens. The result is saved as a multi-picture object file containing separate left- and right-eye JPEG views of the scene, for viewing on 3D displays.

With the primaries wired together, the magnets are epoxy potted, the business end is faced off cleanly, and the whole thing put to the test. [MakeItExtreme] doesn’t go into control details in the video below, but the website mentions the magnet being powered off a 24V 15A power supply with battery backup in case of mains failure.

Five vs Ten amps is a big difference in heating in the power factor correction circuit of his power supply. If you find a data sheet for similar power supplies, they are always 1-3% more efficient on 220Vac and run cooler because of it.

Well, once I replaced almost my entire PC ’cause I figured the motherboard was toast only to find out that my PSU died and would not power up my setup.

The guy on final test stood on a rubber block but still used to get blown across the floor once a month

All EVs come with a means to be connected to the power grid. Technically speaking, the charging station that converts AC house current into DC electricity is built into the vehicle. Most models include a basic 110-volt charging unit that plugs into a standard electric outlet via a conventional three-prong plug.
