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.

Burma Shave....
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."

Yeah, too bad you are not clever enough to respond without getting
binned..

I already responded to the only interesting new post over there, the one
on the model boats. I don't respond to ReggieCrap here...or there.

The only post from WAFA at Chucks Is a picture of mostly plastic used drain
plugs. I don't know. Maybe you think it's art. Maybe we can work it over for
you and do something imaginative with it. Has the cat got your tongue. you
usually have some smart ass comment to go along with your artwork. You are
slipping old man.
