I have a number of 100Ah batteries connected in parallel, and I have a number of 100W solar panels operating outside. If I estimate the efficiency of the solar panels as 25% (based on daylight hours and angle of incidence), and I aim for twice the battery capacity I’ll be consuming in a day, then […]

This form takes a given electromagnetic frequency, and responds with the optimal antenna length in both Imperial and SI units: Electromagnetic frequency (Hz): Optimal antenna length (meters): Optimal antenna length (feet): Optimal antenna length (cm): Optimal antenna length (inches):

This is a cute little story about a turtle and a mouse where you get to enter the names and properties of the animals. It’s written in Java.
