    volt meter goes crazy with engine running

    I was responding to the *original* observation that when connected to (nothing) there were random voltage indications and *your* statement that this is because of the low-quality meter used, though the instrument was not even specified by the poster. My claim is that this is normal behavior...

    volt meter goes crazy with engine running

    It is not a matter of not working correctly. When the leads are disconnected on the VOLTAGE function, (not current, not resistance), the extremely high input Z will allow the meter to sense whatever electric field is present and this is present everywhere except in some shielded enclosure or...

    volt meter goes crazy with engine running

    Note that he indicates that it does this "...not even hooked up to anything". *ANY* DVM will behave this way when the leads are floating -no matter what price. An FET-input analog meter will do the same when the leads are hanging out in space. Most meters are just fine when connected in the...

    volt meter goes crazy with engine running

    It pick up noise almost anywhere you go with the leads open. The input impedance is so high that charges on all kinds of common objects will be sensed. If you short the leads together it should read very close to zero. Non-electronic analog meters (VOM's) are not subject to this behavior...

    Lighted gauges for 6 volt 48N using fiber-optics

    I've given that some consideration myself except I'm thinking about some LED's which will last essentially forever and could be run anywhere you could run a light pipe. 10-20 mA each. Since it's cold now I don't have the fortitude to act on this idea though. fwiw kevin

    Show me yer ID

    I used to find the procedures curiously annoying when buying ammunition. If you were to buy .22 cal. ammo they would ask if it was for handgun or rifle. If the response was "handgun" then you had to show your papers to prove age of 21 yr. and *sign a record form* to purchase. If you claimed...

    Doing a little welding related research...

    Looks like you've acquired some real fans here. I don't know where you live but I think your tech-school is way out of line for tuition unless this is a private school-by about a factor of three or four compared to my area. Your cylinder rental seems terribly high as well. We pay demurrage by...

    OT NRA

    As far as unwanted "junk" calls I always respond immediately with "don't call list". The vast majority of these calls to me are either political or charities who are not subject to the restrictions of the don't call list, however. Regarding more legislation, there are something over 20,000...

    OT NRA

    America spends more on imported illegal narcotics, by a large margin, than on gasoline in this country so I seriously doubt that the NRA has hamstrung any legislation that would have any measurable benefit to hampering illegal firearms trafficking. It invariably serves only to raise revenues to...

    OT NRA

    The Constitution (presumably of the United States) that you ..."defended for 8 years" does not reference any of the phrases you cited. FYI kevin

    OT NRA

    I used to belong and it isn't that they have not had a positive effect but if you watch the voting records of candidates they endorse, it is very often more about "support the favored nnalert" than supporting the candidate favorably disposed to gun ownership. I can't tell you how many...
