Since we can't update the "About me" field, I thought I'd put some information here.
I'm a retired electrical engineer, having spent the majority of my career in communications. I hold 32 US patents, mostly on communications subjects.
Although it was not the focus of my career work, I have a decent knowledge of power distribution, both in the US and internationally, especially for residential service. I also have some knowledge of three-phase and single-phase electric motors and their control systems, but mostly only smaller motors maybe up to 10HP.
After I retired, I took classes in woodworking and developed some level of skill. I've taught woodworking classes, short courses, in veneering, carving, dovetails, and box-making. I’ve built a lot of furniture for our home, to the point where my wife told me she doesn’t have room for any more in our house😊
My wife, Judy, and I travel a couple of times a year and I document our trips on our blog, www.mikeandjudytravel.com

I assume you mean electrical plug adapters. You can find a lot of information on the web - just Google your question. Many electrical devices made today will operate from 100 volts to 250 volts, 50 o… (View Post)1 -

Chuck - just a suggestion. There are bots that harvest email addresses. Then the people involved in those bots sell the list of email addresses to people who send spam. While you can't ever comp… (View Post)1
