Wrong yet again, GymyBobbit. They send the 120khz waveform PRECISELY at 0
degrees...and then again twice later in the 180 degrees of the half wave.
============================================
The X10 protocol apparently sends signals at the zero crossing of the AC
line voltage and then at 60 degrees and at 120 degrees after that (in other
words, three times every half cycle corresponding to the zero crossing of
the other two phases). This is designed to make X10 compatible with three
phase power situations.

Setback thermostats only work efficiently for small differentials, dependant

Breakers are good for one time usage of one fault and then they need to be
replaced for any warrantied usage.
If the breaker interupts a fault, it should be replaced.No warranty will

Quite simply put, for some of the boneheads here.
NiCads and NiMh batterries are designed to take a current charge forever.
Oh yeah, I can charge a battery and use it six months later fully charged.
The nicads will be cooked because you keep them on charge, just in case you
need them but when you remember them six months later they are cooked and
won't last 5 minutes in the camera.
It takes a complete idiot to deny they can short out all by themselves.

Insulated square copper wires from a dry transformer are not 99% copper and

I have tonnes of insulated copper wire if you want it. I think you could
almost have for the picking it up. How many bins can you take per year
50 lbs? We have it by the bin full. Mostly #6 to 650 MCM. I beleive you
would have to leave a bin and then pick it up full later to compete with the

Can't this tranformer be used by somebody to generate a second 120V from a

Gel cell won't cut it when it comes to putting out 100A or more. They cook

There is nothing standard about USanian measurements. They changed their

centuries but the rest of the world moved on to the metric system to avert
the confusion the US caused.
Ever put your ohmmeter (do I need to explain an ohmmeter also?) across a
capacitor? It measures infinity after charging to the supply voltage because
the electrolyte is an insulator.
Electrolytes are not conductors of electricity in a capacitor.
If the electrolyte conducted it would be a resistor.

A 50Hz transformer needs double the iron a 60Hz transformer needs for the

It doesn't really matter where the secondary current comes from, secondary
