Use different size wire in electro clutch?

I didn't go bonkers at all. I just picked an easy target to stir you up.

America: "Hello, Europe, we'd like to buy 50,000 pounds of #10 AWG OFHC
double formvar magnet wire.

Europe: But... but all we have is metric sizes, in kilograms, boo hoo.

We can convert too, you know. Thankfully only an issue for you lot.


Why don't you use it ?

The USA is 'supposed' to be metricated. hy you choose to be so backward never
fails to amaze me. Any given wire gauge covers a wide range of
cross-sectional areas. At least you know what you're getting with mm2.

Graham
What's the matter, challenging for you?

Did that just about sum it up?

Coffee/rooibos..............
Nah, that failed.

Not to mention that if you use the word 'mil' in the UK it means a millimetre.

It is indeed. AWG does not specify an explicit conductor CSA.

AWG does not specify conductors. It specifies *wires*. There are other
types of wire than electrical.

And why would you want to do that? Just to make trouble, no doubt.

I noticed that while you were gone the atmosphere around here stunk a
lot less like shit than usual.

Now you're back and the place is starting to stink again. Too bad...

I'll bet folks in the industry were calling out wire by American Wire
Gauge calls long before folks 'over there' were calling wires out in
direct cross sectional area numerics. We hade/have circular mils, and
you guys have square millimeters.

Eventually, the world will, perhaps, be all metric. Maybe one day
there will be a singular monetary system or government... sure.

Don't hold your breath.

For now we will all, both you (Eeyore's 'over there' crowd)and us,
savor the nostalgia that our truly scientific ancestors gave us. We will
cling to those things that we think important. Every 'scientist' knows
how to measure length regardless of what ticks are on the scale... still,
every man likes to do so with *his own* ruler.

All the automation and such in 'science and industry' these days has
made for some 'scientists' that are titled or held in regards that are
far beyond their actual level of competency or depth of knowledge.

I am glad that you are not in that boat, John.

The classical engineers are all but gone... a dying breed.

What an absurd comment. Do you have 12 fingers so you can count in inches to the
foot ?

Graham


Absurd? YOU, maybe.

I find that folks that claim to be a scientist yet cannot perform math
in bases other than ten and two, are not really scientists at all. That
is how absurd you are.

Do you piss and moan about the number of hours in a day or the calendar
arrangement as well?

You: NOT a scientist.

More toward "whining wussy", or in your case "wussy in the body of an
ass".

Millimeter is "mm", NOT "mil". "mil" IS known around the world, you
asshole, know nothing idiot.

Probably more like 140 cm for him. Conservative guess. :)

Otherwise agreed.
Any world wide "Standard"agreement is an extended version of what is going
on in Copenhagen- politicians and special interests drag it out indefinitely
as it is important to get ones first class travel to expensive
places -preferrably in a warm place with cheap booze.


Same kinds of "scientists" gave Gore a Nobel Peace Prize.

The world is a strange place.

I just have to say that I did like that response.

I am glad we all did not embrace the toad licking thing back in the
80s.

We'd all be singing "On the Toad Again..." And PETA would be on our
asses.

Let's see if your 'enhancement' gets the depth of that off the wall
remark... :)

Bwuahahahahaha... Intellectually Enhanced... indeed!

No, the answer to "Life, the Universe and Everything" is 42.

If that doesn't make sense to you, it's because you don't understand the
question. The question is "What is six times nine?"

The only way any of this works out is if '42' is in base 13. (4*13+2=6*9)
