Re: How do you measure really high voltage...like for a spark plug.
A potential problem is the voltage also has to have enough current when the cylinder is at the top of the compression cycle and a voltage reading under "no load" might not indicate the voltage when

Re: How do you measure really high voltage...like for a spark plug.
Hey guys,
I’m not sure after all this time if the group rules allow posting links to Amazon site. So I’ll just tell you to go to Amazon and search for “spark plug voltage tester”. You

Re: How do you measure really high voltage...like for a spark plug.
Somehow the idea of using a HV probe that requires Freon cooling is a bit beyond the pale even for me!
My Bird Termaline Watt Meter is rated at 60W, I mounted 2 4" 120V muffin fans against the heat

Re: How do you measure really high voltage...like for a spark plug.
Back when I was doing automotive ignition system system development, we used a Tektronix HV probe, quite similar to https://www.bellnw.com/products/tektronix-p6015a It required a Freon charge inside

Re: Replacing memory back up cells with a super capacitor
I had a thought a moment ago, it is entirely possible the Panasonic capacitors Kenwood chose for their factory backup board were designed for ultra low leakage and normal supercapacitors might have a

Re: analog feedback temprature regulator question
Hello, I ment as precise as possible 1C presition is cool too.
I want to use feedback mechanism to regulate the temperature of a box.
I want to do some fancy analog feedback like PID controller

Replacing memory back up cells with a super capacitor
We were discussing batteries a few weeks ago and I mentioned I used high value capacitors, AKA super capacitors, to replace the 3V lithium disk cell.
I received an email asking for details.

I ran into a problem Monday, time for the first lawn cutting of the year, trust me, at 73 I don't even use a riding mower because the vibration would kill my artificial knees, our landlords are a set

Pull out your analog design books.
This is a feedback loop.? The two NPN transistors are a differential pair.? ?I trust you know how differential pairs work.? The difference voltage between the

Re: analog feedback temprature regulator question
This is just a question about the question you asked, as I am unable to provide information about plans for a differential temperature regulator -
I am unsure how to interpret "1Kelvin".
