harnessing lightning, or not

[Archimedes' Lever]

Not much of a "stick" at L1, L2, or the frequencies used by the
geostationary sats for WAAS, as well as sat data/voice (eg. Iridium).

ANY sharp protrusion has a huge gradient difference compared to rounded
or no protrusion.

The Iridium is a six inch long stick, BTW.

Most of the RF gear I work with has DC on the input so no matter how
cheap the inductor is, it won't work. OTOH, I worked on $20,00 to
$80,000 radios, not $10 radios.

Same here. Except that my range does go down to around two bucks

They can be. I'm waiting for transparent aluminum. ;-)

Yesterday I marveled at a friends project, he is building a Van's
two-seater. Man, what an amount of work that is. All those rivet alone
made his wrist hurt even though he has an air tool that he can use on
many of them. And the aluminum is all scarily thin.

 

[Joerg]

What part of the word 'induced' did you fail to learn in your study
years?

That's why I am surprised you don't understand why there needs to be an
inductor.

I've seen (and remedied) situations where 2"-3" sticks caused massive
field failures. Because the inductive path was lacking.

For this reason a folded dipole is nice, since you can ground the
midpoint of the upper (continuous) side. No extra inductors needed.

I sure wish I could find a 900MHz antenna like that right now. But it
must be under 4dBi for license reasons and must be a vertical stick
because of space constraints.

But, I guess, it'll be the usual. Fix the bugs the RF module mfgs let
slip by :-(

Show me where I said that at all.

You are confusing me with some other person you were arguing with.

Show us how you deal with induced lightning load sans inductor.

If you need a source for antennas send me a note. We have a couple of
manufacturers who work pretty closely with us. One has come up with a
solution for 900MHz that even fits where we need it. ;-)

Again, you retarded ****! It was not I that ever told you that it was
not needed.

GET A CLUE.

Done, but no rush

No, sorry, I didn't register to vote. In fact, I don't register to
vote on anything, ever. I don't want to decide anything about other
peoples' lives.

Yet you decided that I have some 'fetish' to the point where you go out
of your way to announce it every chance you get. So you are a goddamned
liar as well.

I credit Freud with the start of the psychoanalytic theory, and for
getting folks on couches to discuss their issues. I do not give his
cocaine induced determinations on "id" and "ego" etc. any credence, and
consider some of them to be ludicrous, in fact. You, however, are
obviously too strongly attached to them. It is glaringly apparent, yet
you not seeing your own flaws is as well.

The term for today, people, is "Two faced".

Gear out in the field typically never has that.

Cable TV hard line full spectrum line amplifiers hang on a hard line
that carries the 60V power supply source that they use to operate.

You really do say a lot of things before you think it through.

 

[Archimedes' Lever]

Of course, if you design sat-gear that's different.

I doubt that you know the industry well enough to expound on it in
'industry wide' manner.

You do not know enough.

So, what do you know about electronics in agriculture, outdoor equipment
control, oil & gas, airport infrastructure, aircraft electronics,
spacecraft electronics, and so on? I am talking professional stuff here,
not entertainment infrastructure.

 

[Archimedes' Lever]

So, what do you know about electronics in agriculture,

Soil analyzers.

outdoor equipment
control, oil & gas, airport infrastructure,

bomb sniffers, drug sniffers, X-ray machines.

aircraft electronics,

HUD HV supplies. High brightness displays.

spacecraft electronics,

Satellite HV power supplies.

and so on?

Currently? Satellite receivers and the network hub gear associated
with them.

I am talking professional stuff here,
Stuff?

not entertainment infrastructure.

Is that a good description of your function here?

So you are doing the actual hardware design on all this? Then why all
these aliases?

Is that a good description of your function here?

I guess entertainment would be yours.

Still waiting for that bible quote, Mr.Eko

 

[Archimedes' Lever]

I only point it out a fraction of the time that you mention poop.

No, John. In the last week alone, you never hesitated to be the little
pussified bitch that you are, even when all I mentioned is the word
"ass".

You are truly pathetic, John. That is a sad fact.

 

[TheGlimmerMan]

When you claimed this rediculous name dropping
list of various specialties in electronic engineering you
were exhibiting a delusional symptom which implies
outright schitzophrenia. (delusional state)

First off, idiot, the term is RIDICULOUS. You are one of those gang
boy retard punks that actually pronounces it "ree-dic-u-lous".

It is derived from the word RIDicule, idiot. There is NO "E" anywhere
in the spelling OR the pronunciation, you retarded little bitch.

Secondly, every product I listed are products that I was involved with
the design and manufacture of.

I have worked in electronics for over 30 years. You, on the other
hand, are nothing more than a pathetic, pants down past the asscrack
punk.

I have no idea what a retarded, finger pointing fucktard like you knows
about electronics. I suspect, from what I have seen here, and from your
incessant netkkkop behavior, that it is very little.

Prove otherwise, or shut the **** up.

Better yet, leave AND shut the **** up, you retarded little bitch.

Your capacity to make a valid assessment, despite it being unsolicited,
unqualified, unprofessional, and unquestionably stupid, rests right at
nil.

Your appeal has been denied, like you knew it would be, bitch.

 

[TheGlimmerMan]

I have a lot of gripes with the field of psychology,
too, but yours are from a PATIENTS perspective.

You wouldn't know, dumbfuck. That is the point.
