Always pay attention to the safety warnings, and never underestimate the stupidity of anyone, most importantly your self.

Can you create, and how safe it would be, isolation transformer with two transformers? so, secondary of first transformer connected to secondary of second (2:11:2) ? In my naive thinking head, it should work. i have few microwave transformers with modified secondary (about 20-30V output from 220V input), and was thinking of using two of them…

I can’t think of any good reason for a toggle switch to get hot. If I ever found a hot toggle switch, I’d call that a fire hazard and recommend repair.

It occurs to me that enormous subsidies have been expended to have put a handful of pure EVs on the road – still very expensive and not practical for a lot of people. I think a better carbon reduction bang for the buck wold be to incentivize PHEVs or even “conventional” hybrids.

They made me a 110v silicone rubber heat bed with adhesive backing at the size I wanted with 2 integrated thermistors and appropriate cabling for like $60 delivered to my door. Add a 110v relay and you’re good to go. The Eustathios and Herculien builders group have been using these for a while.

I stuck a finger in a light socket when I was about 3 years old back in Brooklyn NY and got a momentary buzz sensation. Nothing more. I got a few more 110V shocks as a US Army Air Force student of electronics back in 1944. No problems but I was warned to keep my left hand in my pocket in uncertain situations to not form a circuit through my heart, Here in Helsinki where I now live I have taken 220 V a couple of times. Nothing I’d recommend but no harm done. Nevertheless, I’m careful and never fool around with wet hands.

The issue is we are more than willing to make unknown compromises for price. And we don’t just make these compromises with electronic components. We make the same compromises in the vehicles we drive, the foods we eat, the houses we buy…..

Yup, switched off but still plugged in, that way the case is still earthed. Assuming a sensible 3-pin plug, or whatever the hell they do in places with just 2.

You also have cables running from the power distribution system and over to the servers, if we halve the current in these lines, then we quarter the power dissipation in these cables. This is both true for the power cords, and for the internals in the power supply as well. At least for the “AC” side of it.

TRIACs have very low junction voltage / resistance especially when compared to the load they are driving. When they are overloaded they heat causing the the junction voltage to increase rapidly causing exponentially more power to be dissipated by the TRIAC instead of the load. This whole process seems to take about a nanosecond and ends with a small amount of the plastic casing still attached to the legs.

In the waning days of Flake’s presence in the Senate, the Arizona lawmaker, who’s frequently clashed with Trump, now has dwindling opportunities to make his mark. Longtime observers of his tortured reluctance to back Republicans going in a direction he does not like will recall that such stands often end with Flake simply, well, flaking.
