Did you ever wonder why the heater fan in your car operates from
low-
medium-high, while a typical *box window fan operates from
High-medium-
low?
I was just thinking about that.
hmm....
Oh yeah, I never figured out how 8 "bits" could equal $1.00
either...
We will all try to put your mind at ease:

With the fans, the car is a DC motor and the window is AC.
Starting
torque is different.
As for the bits ..... isn't 2 "bits" a quarter?
But you can take a window fan and set it on "low" , plug it in, and it
starts up jjust fine, though...
True, but it's not particularly good for the motor. *Ideally, it should
start up on "high" to give max torque using all the windings of the
motor.
Then, it can be turned down. * Not a big deal though ... most fans can
handle it. * I forget the mechanical stuff, but it takes something like
3
times the amount of power to get something in motion than it does to
maintain that motion.
Newton's Laws of Motion: *force is redundant and subordinate to the
conservation of momentum.

Ipso facto, quid pro quo, illegitimi non carborundum. Carpe Diem. *:)

ROTFL!!!!

Damn - why am I feeling particularly briliant this morning?

Must be the coffee.... * :)
Could it be that you were recently anointed temporary Lord of the Realm?

Well, first of all, I am not Lord of The Realm - I am a mere Knight of
The Realm.

Secondly, Rule #1 on the *Evil Overlord Instruction and Maintenance
Manual clearly states "Always make the victim of your world domination
scheme think that it was his or her idea."
